It was a normal day for the H.E.A.T team with no monster to tackle and any other anomalies out there so it was around these normal days that Nick took the time to study Godzilla and his behavioral instincts with the help of Cordula and Randy.
"If anything happens to my father's boat Nick, I'll hand you over the bill" Cordula called out from the docks as she lowered the net full of fresh fish her father and his crew caught yesterday.
Nick gave her an innocent look before calling Godzilla who appeared moments later when Cordula felt a jerk in the boat and quickly cut the line before the boat overturned.
Godzilla rose up from the surface with a giant net on his head as he stared down at Nick and Randy while Cordula hauled in what remained of the rope "With that net on his head he kinda looked like Mrs. Stupple, the lunch lady in PS 1179" Nick gave Randy a look as Godzilla blew the net away from his face with a small dose of his Atomic Breath and sent a greeting coo to Nick and Cordula before he dove back into the sea.
Nick quickly wrote down on his notepad while Cordula hopped out of the boat and into the docking bay towards the inside room of H.E.A.T Headquarters. There she saw the small TV open and a reporter reporting a small town's destruction.
"A bizarre wave of destruction continues to sweep through Southern Mexico. Maria Perez has a live report, Maria?""Thank you Jim. Last night, several villages in this sleepy part of the jungle were reduced to rubble.While the Mexican Government blames the damage on volcanic activity, many seem terrified of something else. A mysterious predator that no one can describe"
Elsie turned off the TV with a pondering look on her face "What do you think of that?" Cordula asked as she walked right up to her. Elsie gave out a pondering noise before Mendel came in with a phone in his hands.
"Phone call Elsie..uh..Lawrence Cohen?" Mendel gave Elsie a questionable look on how a stranger even got to their landline. "Lawrence Cohen?" Cordula blinked when Elsie's demeanor rapidly changed to one of pure irritation and something akin to one who suddenly had the case of constipation.
"Take a message" She said shortly. Mendel gave her a bewildered look "Uh...but he sounds pretty upset and something about Mexico" Monique shot off from her seat at the word 'Mexico' and Elsie let out a confused noise as she turned her attention to Mendel as did the rest of the gang.
~oOo~
Mexico, Yucatan
They arrived in Mexico, Yucatan early in the morning with the sun brightly shining down as they drove through the entrance of what was left of the town "This doesn't look like Earthquake damage" Nick said as he got off the truck.
Cordula saw a few kids carrying a few baggage and went over to them "Hi there, can you tell me what-" Before Cordula could finish, their parents immediately pulled them away from her and sent her looks of fear and slight anger.
Cordula blinked before she walked back to the truck "Whoa...what's their problem?" Randy asked when he noticed the slight incident. Cordula shook her head "I don't know but whatever happened here really scared them" Cordula stated.
Randy pulled out a brown paper bag and started munching on them "You are seriously thinking of food?" Cordula looked at Randy in shock, even more so when she caught the smell of spice in the air.
"I'm starving..." Mendel said over to them. Randy gave Cordula a playful look before handing the bag over to Mendel "Dig in" Mendel thanked Randy and without hesitation, brought the food inside his mouth.
"Fried Jalapenos"
Mendel made a sound of delight before he let out a small yelp when the spice burned his tongue "Hot! Hot!" Cordula quickly handed him an army military water bottle and he drank it down half dry and let out a small sigh of relief "At least your stomach's full" Mendel gave her a 'not-funny' look.
Nick was trying to at least talk to one of the residences to no avail "Señor please, just a few moments" Nick tried again only to have his face being slammed on the door. The gang watched in shock at the rather rude behavior going off.
"Don't you just love small-town hospitality?" Randy quipped, trying to cheer up the sudden tension in the air which worked when Monique turned to Elsie "Elsie, I thought your boyfriend was going to meet us" Elsie gave Monique a hard look.
"Lawrence was NEVER my boyfriend" Elsie stated, emphasizing on the 'never' word "He's just somebody that I knew a long time ago" Just then, a truck parked right across from their truck and out came a man who called over to Elsie, straight up ran to her and gave her a hug.
The rest of them team turned away in respect and Elsie felt herself growing embarrassed as she tried to pry herself away from the man "Larry..." Elsie greeted as soon as she was off of his arms and grew a safe and friendly distance from him.
"You look great!" The man complimented as he looked at Elsie like a childhood best fried who had been missing out his life "You look late!" Elsie snapped sharply with her arms crossed "Sorry uh..but the roads are a real mess around here" Knowing that the team was somewhat forgotten for a moment, Randy made the first move of introduction.
"Randy Hernandez"
"Hey! Lawrence Cohen, how you doing?"
"Dr. Mendel Craven"
"Cordula Davis"
One by one, the team introduced themselves to Lawrence who seemed more excited in meeting new people since he looked a little bit ecstatic to greet them "I'm Nick Tatopoulos" As soon as Nick introduced himself, Lawrence never felt so happy in his life though he toned it down a notch.
"Hey! An LA fan"
"Uh..Larry, did you call us down here to talk baseball?" Elsie spoke, cutting off further introductions "No,no,no" Lawrence said and his demeanor changed as he looked around almost as if making sure there was no one that was listening.
"There's something, you have to see"
~oOo~
We trekked up the mountain towards the smoking volcano with Lawrence leading the way.
"The site is about halfway to the summit" Lawrence called out from the front "What exactly are you doing down here? Excavation?" Nick asked.
"Oh no, nothing like that, I'm an Ornithologist" Lawrence said "Uh what?" Randy asked breathlessly from all the walking.
"An Ornithologist"
"He studies birds"
Mendel and Cordula answered back at Randy "So how do you two know each other?" Nick asked as he turned his attention to Elsie and Lawrence.
"Elsie didn't tell you? We were almost married"
Elsie let out an annoyed groan and slapped a hand to her head as Lawrence wrapped an arm around her for emphasis on the married part.
"Married?!" The crew let out a shout of shock as they stared at Elsie who looked more embarrassed than ever as she opened her mouth to explain.
"Well, well, it's not like we set up a date or-or anything"
Elsie said with an embarrassed smile before she glared slightly at Lawrence "Someone's work always got in the way" She said with her arms crossed. Lawrence gave Elsie a look before his eyes went wide as he cautiously moved towards Mendel "Dr. Craven" He said cautiously that made Mendel look at him with a noise of confusion as Lawrence reached his hand out to Mendel's shoulder.
"Let me take care of that for ya"
Mendel gasped when Lawrence held in his hand was a scorpion that began wiggling around for freedom "Ah... Order Scorpionida, capable of delivering a painful sting, it's a common misconception" Mendel said casually but Lawrence look was grave.
"Uh..actually, this specimen's a black scorpion. Its stinger contains one of the most powerful neurotoxins in the world" Lawrence said as he let the scorpion go in a safe distance from the group "You saved my life..." Mendel said in awe.
"Wow Elsie, I can't believe you never told us about him. He'd be great out in the field" Cordula said and Elsie once again placed her hand on her head with her eyes closed "This...is a nightmare"
~oOo~
After a few more hours of walking and taking a few quick short breaks, they were already in the foot of the volcano where a small temple structure nestled in plain sight. Nick sniffed the air when he began to smell something different and it was coming from underground.
"What is it?" Elsie asked from behind him "Its hydrogen sulfide gas, maybe the earthquakes they've been talking about opened up old pockets of this stuff" Nick said as they began to walk up the stairs to the temple.
"Whoa...I never seen this kind of temple before" Cordula commented as she looked around the area "The locals believed that this temple is the resting place of Quetzalcoatl, an ancient symbol of creation. His appearance signals a bountiful harvest" Lawrence informed.
"What's this Quatzelcoatl thing look like" Nick asked, mispronouncing the name a little bit "Well, no one can describe it, Q usually hides itself in the glare of the sun" Lawrence answered. Cordula saw a bird like painting and moved to take a closer look at it while Elsie turned her attention to Lawrence.
"Um...I'm just missing something here, what has all of this got to do with with what happened in the village?" Elsie asked "I didn't actually see it but I think that when I unsealed the temple, I may have released Quetzalcoatl" Elsie blinked before she laughed at such notion.
"Come on Larry, Q is just one of those urban legends" Lawrence narrowed his eyes and his face grew all the more serious "Something very real at me" Lawrence said "How'd you managed to get away then?" Lawrence shrugged his shoulders "I don't know" Was all he answered.
"These paintings look very disturbing" Cordula said as she emerged out of the temple, the paintings she saw depicted of villages being raided by bird like creatures and of the burning volcanoes where the bird-like creatures seem to nest.
"Check this out" Randy called out when he held up a big red feather that was about the size of an average human. A terrifying screech came and all eyes went up to the smoking volcano to see a dark shadow of a bird rise up from the volcano.
Monique readied her gun as Quetzalcoatl came swooping down with an angry screech "Down, down, down!" Nick screamed as he grasped Elsie's shoulders and led the team to hide on the outside walls of the temple just as Quetzalcoatl came swooping down with her claws open to grasp any of them.
The force of the wind knocked back Cordula as she stumbled halfway back into the temple. Monique pushed Lawrence towards Elsie and Nick as Quetzalcoatl made a U turn in the air. Lawrence quickly walked out of the safety zone and readied his camera just as Quetzalcoatl made a dive for them.
"Larry! Don't be an idiot!"
Elsie called out with slight anger and fear for the man and even wondered as to why she even liked him in the first place if he was always falling headfirst to danger. Monique fired her laser cannon just before Quetzalcoatl could even grasp Lawrence and it made the bird turn its attention to the even bigger threat.
"Monique!" Randy and Cordula called out Monique made a run for it as Quetzalcoatl flew after her. Everyone gasped when Quetzalcoatl unleashed a deadly stream of fire that Monique barely escaped when she felt the heat in her back.
Nick looked around for anything that could be used as a weapon until the smell of hydrogen sulfide gas reached him "The gas vents!" Nick gasped before he turned his attention to Monique "Monique! Shoot into the ground!" Monique aimed her weapon on the ground and waited until Quetzalcoatl was near enough as she fired and a burst of flames erupted from the ground.
Quetzalcoatl let out a screech in pain as it retreated back up into the skies where it disappeared. With the danger over, Elsie stomped her way to Lawrence "Do you ever think of anything other than work? Like...Oh I don't know maybe STAYING ALIVE!" Lawrence made a move to talk to Elsie but she literally moved away with her face still angry and he decided it was better to give her space for awhile.
"Randy, you still got the feather?" Cordula called out. Randy grinned and nodded while Mendel tried to calm himself down after what had just happened a few seconds ago with them almost being literal bird food.
~oOo~
Night was falling and the team decided to camp out in the night rather than returning to the village. Cordula was busy prepping meal for the team with Mendel while Randy and Nick searched for anything about Quetzalcoatl and any similar attacks.
She didn't know though if it would have been a good idea to let Elsie, with her actions today, and Lawrence work alone on the red feather Quetzalcoatl left them. Mendel noticed her look and couldn't help but ask "Is everything alright?" Cordula blinked then smiled "I'm a bit worried on leaving Elsie and Lawrence alone in the tent. Who knows what those two could be doing" Mendel sighed sadly.
While he was thinking of Lawrence wooing Elsie inside the tent, Cordula thought of the exact opposite.
"Is dinner ready?"
Their thoughts were broken when Randy came walking with a wide grin as he eyed the steaming pot. Cordula quickly shielded it with her body "Not so fast there Scooby-doo, wait until the table's ready" Cordula chastised, causing Mendel to snicker a little.
Randy crossed his arms and pouted "Not gonna work on me this time. Anyways, what about the feather we managed to salvage?" Cordula asked.
"Not to worry, I've got a plan"
Nick said as he walked out of the tent with the others following behind.
~oOo~
They readied their gear by early morning and were off to subdue Quetzalcoatl. They stopped by at one of the bases of the mountain and got out of the truck.
"Okay, any questions?" Nick turned to the group. They looked at one another before Randy spoke up "Uh...why does she get the big gun?" Randy asked with one hand raised like what a student would do.
Monique and Nick gave him unimpressed looks "You said any questions" Randy stated "Any 'smart' questions would be appropriate" Cordula mumbled as she readied her gun.
"Alright, keep your eyes peeled for any signs of that flying lizard" Nick said and they were off with their eyes on the sky for any signs of Quetzalcoatl.
No sooner than they expected, the sound of Quetzalcoatl screeching was heard as well as the raking of the trees as it flew pass by it.
"Incoming!" Cordula shouted as a gust of wind nearly knocked off her feet as she steadied herself. Randy and Monique received the warning too late and they ended up sprawled on the ground after the gust of wind carried them.
Everyone began shooting at Quetzalcoatl in the hopes of taking the beast down without any resistance to the tranquilizers.Quetzalcoatl screech when it felt itself being hit by all sides as it tried to ward them off.
Cordula was both impressed and frustrated when Quetzalcoatl barely even showed signs of drowsiness as it flew away like it didn't just got shot by a round of tranquilizers. IS this bird immune to tranquilizers?
"One of those tranquilizers could put down a rhino for a week. We hit that thing with five!" Nick said in frustration "Not even a yawn" Randy added "We might need an even bigger amount of dosage for that thing" Cordula said as she checked her gun to find out that hers was empty.
Monique spotted a black scorpion innocently crawling on top of a leaf and an idea came to her "Perhaps, this would be of assistance" She grabbed the scorpion by the tail and raised it up for Nick and the others to see.
~oOo~
"I agreed to help capture Q not, not ends its life!" Lawrence argued to the group inside their makeshift lab tent "We don't have another option" Nick tried to explain calmly "If we did, we could have gone for it" Cordula added helpfully but it only seem to enrage Lawrence all the more.
"I do, this creature could be the key to an evolutionary breakthrough" The image of thousands of human life screaming in terror asQuetzalcoatl loomed over them like a shadow passed through Cordula's mind.
"And if the destruction continues and people are hurt that thing could become an evolutionary nightmare!" Elsie snapped as she abruptly stood up from her seat. All Lawrence could think about was birds and work while Elsie was thinking logically of the consequences of this.
I wonder how they even got together?
"Elsie...that's not what I'm saying-" Lawrence said calmly but Elsie shrugged him off and walked away, desperate to get away from him and to all the stares of her friends "Okay that is it, I'm going after Elsie to make sure she's alright. You better make a decision before Q decides to invite himself to another round of destruction" Cordula stated a she marched after Elsie.
~oOo~
"You know I could hear you" Elsie said after a moment of silence, Cordula yelped as the branch beneath her broke off and fell on her back "Sorry for following you and before you go blowing off elsewhere. Why not just tell me what's bothering you" Elsie turned to Cordula
"What are you now, a psychologist?" Cordula rubbed the back of her neck "Dad said it helps" She said quietly and Elsie sighed before she buried her head on her hands "I just don't understand why Larry can't see the bigger picture?!" Cordula backed off as Elsie paced around.
"Well that's how sees the world I guess. You can't blame the guy too much, he loves at what he does"
"At the cost of thousands of lives right now!"
Cordula opened her mouth to speak but found none to actually speak about. Elsie sighed and gave Cordula a smile "Thanks for being here with me while I rant I guess" Cordula waved her away.
"Like I said, what are friends for"
~oOo~
Cordula and Elsie managed to come back in time for dinner and while Lawrence was out to go get the food, Cordula and Elsie went to their respective seats. It didn't take long for Lawrence to come and for Elsie's demeanor to change quickly.
"So Larry my man, what do you call this culinary delight?" Randy asked in an attempt to make a conversation "Kingsnake Inch Polti Sauce, it's one of my specialties" Cordula looked down at the grub in front of her and took a small bite. Spicy but tasty.
Mendel made a noise of disgust as Randy turned to Elsie who had her head down, avoiding eye contact "Elsie, you gotta try this" Randy said as he began munching down on his plate "I've lost my appetite" Elsie said shortly.
Sensing his presence not needed, Lawrence spoke up "Uh...I'll be back with drinks" He quickly left the table "Uh...kinda harsh don't you think?" Randy said as he turned to Elsie "Um...kinda none of your business don't you think?" Elsie shot back.
"I'm just saying the man did what you wanted but you're still pulling a major too" Randy explained just before Mendel had the courage to give the food a taste and yelping out "Hot! Hot! Water! Water!" And ran out of the tent with his hands on his neck.
"Hey man! If you're not going to eat yours, can I have it!" Hearing no reply from the doctor, Randy grabbed the full plate and poured in the food but just before he could even take another bite, Lawrence came running in with a serious look on his face.
"I just heard on the radio. Q's attacking Rio Lagartos" Randy groaned "Why can't they just appear after we finished eating?" Cordula patted him in the back as everyone began to pile out "It would do you some good to get your mind off of food once in a while"
~oOo~
By the time the team entered into the scene, nearly almost half of the buildings there were either destroyed or obliterated asQuetzalcoatl flew above them. Nick quickly parked the car as Monique hopped off the truck to grab the gun.
'Come on! There's people inside!" Nick shouted and the group began to split up to help many trapped persons there is in the houses. Cordula turned to a corner just in time to seeQuetzalcoatl destroy on of the buildings making a debris to topple over Monique who was running forward.
"Watch out!' Cordula called at the same time as Nick screamed "Monique Dive!" Monique made a dive, letting go of the gun in the process as she landed unharmed but with the chances of bruising.
Nick grabbed the gun as he aimed it atQuetzalcoatl who was swooping over them as if taunting Nick to pull the trigger. Nick pulled the trigger but managed to miss it "No, don't do this!" Nick yelled in frustration.
Elsie heard the cries of a young child and turned to see a kid on the road, crying out for his mother. Elsie quickly ran back after the child and held him in her arms "Elsie!" Cordula waved her hand to get her attention to come here as soon asQuetzalcoatl spotted Elsie and the child.
Elsie and Cordula made a mad dash towards Nick, running towards them. Elsie placed the child in Nick's arms just asQuetzalcoatl swooped down with its claws extended. Nick ran back and Cordula made a dive just asQuetzalcoatl landed right where they are.
Elsie screamed when she found out to her horror that she had been captured and was now desperately grasping on the back of a truck asQuetzalcoatl carried her away "No!" Nick shouted "Elsie...!" Lawrence gasped as they all watched Elsie, still screaming, getting farther away.
It took awhile for Lawrence to get the idea thatQuetzalcoatl had taken Elsie as he tried to wrap his brain around the entire situation "Why? We have to find her" Lawrence said, grasping Nick by the shoulders "You are not seriously thinking of walking to where Q is staying in that volcano and expect to get Elsie back just like that" Cordula said to Lawrence.
"We'll get Elsie back" Nick said "If she's still alive" Monique added pessimistically "I don't understand. Up to this point, Q's been primarily attacking buildings flying off with materials. Taking a live victim is a shift in the behavioral pattern" Lawrence said as he managed to calm himself down.
Or maybe there's something going on here that we're not seeing" Cordula noted "But Q's attacked people before. First you than all of us on the volcano" Nick said "Exactly Nick, Q only attacked when we, or any other living species get even too close to the volcano" Cordula said "Then it was trying to protect something" Lawrence concluded.
Cordula gave him a puzzled look "What could be in volcano that could be so precious to Q?" Cordula voiced out the question "Like a nest" Nick answered after much thought "Which suggestsQuetzalcoatl's going to be a mama" That shocked everyone.
"Whoa, whoajefe, are you talking about baby Q's?"
"Well that's the only thing plausible and here I thought Q was a boy" Cordula mumbled "How many little angels exactly?" Mendel asked and at the mention about angels, Cordula shivered at the image of a disfigured baby angel with Q's form taking over.
"Based on typical reproduction patterns and birds: two, three, maybe more...and they're gonna wake up hungry" Cordula snorted "What type of baby in the whole universe doesn't get hungry...oh no" Cordula mumbled out the last part in shock at what it was suggesting.
"Then every single person out there is at risk" Nick concluded, making Lawrence nod in confirmation "We have to find Elsie before she becomes the infants' first meal" Nick finally stated.
~oOo~
With Lawrence and Nick in the lead, the group clambered up on the volcano by early morning "Some birds instinctually nest near the place where they originally hatch" Lawrence noted before they soon heardQuetzalcoatl's familiar screech.
"Looks like someone wanted a morning flight" Cordula muttered asQuetzalcoatl nose dived towards them and let out a ball of fire in their direction and everyone quickly ducked out of the way and barely missed getting fried.
"Now is the time to think about finding shelter!' Cordula shouted through the blast. Nick looked around and shouted "Over there!" Cordula turned to the direction where Nick's finger was pointing and they all quickly ran for cover.
"Mendel come on!" Cordula shouted to Mendel when he made the decision to look back asQuetzalcoatl made a sharp turned. Mendel yelped and ran after the others. Unknown to him, he accidentally dropped his hat, making it easier for Q to find where they were hiding.
"Your instincts were right. It must be protecting its nest" Nick said after a moment for them to catch their breath at the near brush of being fried "How are we gonna get closer?" Lawrence asked. Mendel quickly took out his mini computer "Initiating remote recon" Everyone peered over as N.I.G.E.L quickly deployed the optical cable.
"Deploying Optical Cable...Transmitting"
Sure enough, they all saw Elsie still in one piece. Cordula let out a breath she didn't know she was holding "Ah...she's okay, we need a diversion. Craven, signal Godzilla" Mendel quickly typed in the keys to give out the call but in doing so alerted Q of N.I.G.E.L' s position.
N.I.G.E.L let out his famous scream as Mendel made a wail "Oh N.I.G.E.L!" Cordula gasped a she ducked when what was part of N.I.G.E.L's head came flying in their direction "System Failed" Mendel put his head in his hands as he wept.
Quetzalcoatl landed right in front of them and let out an angry screech as she tried to peck them but only managed to destroy part of the volcano as they dodged the beak. Another roar sounded off in the distance, one which set the group at ease "Godzilla" Nick breathed with relief as he saw the gigantic lizard heading their way with his head lowered to a charge.
He jumped right above the group as he roared. With Q distracted, Cordula looked around for any signs to get to the top "Watch out!' Nick screamed when a stream of fire burst through. Cordula pulled Lawrence away from the group "Up there!" Cordula said as she pointed to the top.
Lawrence nodded as he clambered up first, Cordula made a move to follow but was blocked when Q fell "Go Lawrence!" Cordula shouted before she ran to where the group was.
"Where's Lawrence?" Nick asked "He's getting Elsie. We have to find another way to the top" The group nodded as they clambered up. Cordula looked back to seeQuetzalcoatl throw Godzilla down. They managed to locate N.I.G.E.L's scattered pars and the rope Lawrence must have used to get down.
"Where are they?" Randy asked as he looked down "Found them!" Monique called out as she pointed to see Lawrence and Elsie running away from what appeared to be chicks minus the feathers and cuteness.
"They bring out a whole new term if people say baby's are the cutest" Cordula mumbled as they gathered ropes long enough for Lawrence and Elsie to grab on. When Lawrence and Elsie found themselves cornered, they immediately dropped the rope "Elsie hurry! Grab on!" Monique called out as Nick waved to get their attention.
~oOo~
Quetzalcoatl succeeded in subduing Godzilla as the giant lizard fell unconscious to the ground.Quetzalcoatl made a move to bite down onto the skin and give it to the kids until she heard the whines and screeches of her chicks. She looked down at an unconscious Godzilla and made a split decision to kill those pathetic vermins first before she would let her chicks have a feast with a proper meal on Godzilla.
Big mistake on her part not kill him
~oOo~
They managed to pull Lawrence and Elsie just in time forQuetzalcoatl to land on them "What have you done to Godzilla you disfigured chicken!" Cordula shouted when she realized that she could not see Godzilla.
Randy nervously pulled Cordula away asQuetzalcoatl advanced on them with murderous intent "Um...Cordula, you're not helping out the situation here" Cordula huffed asQuetzalcoatl extended a claw towards the group to grab one of them before Godzilla charged and pushedQuetzalcoatl down to the nest.
Godzilla roared and Cordula cheered as he snuck a glance down all of them to make sure they were unharmed before turning his attention to the enemy.Quetzalcoatl struggled to stand up as her chicks surrounded her, whining about their hunger.Quetzalcoatl stood up and Godzilla immediately covered the group when she let out two balls of fire aiming directly at them.
Godzilla roared out in anger as he let out his own Atomic breath asQuetzalcoatl who only shielded herself with her wings. Finding that useless, the nest was the second thing he attacked.Quetzalcoatl quickly grabbed her chicks and made an effort to fly away but then got hit by the debris of rocks that fell.
They all watchQuetzalcoatl as she fell with her chicks in hand. Making sure thatQuetzalcoatl could no longer surface back again, Godzilla blasted the rocks surrounding the volcano, blocking the entrance and the exit way forQuetzalcoatl.
Everyone cheered as Godzilla let out a victorious roar.
~oOo~
With the problem ofQuetzalcoatl now gone and the town of Mexico finally at peace, the team began packing for the trip back "I'm sorry you never got your evidence" Cordula overheard Elsie talk to Lawrence and she couldn't help but grin along the way "What made you so happy?" Randy asked when he pointed out the obvious happy look on Cordula's face.
"Nothing, just nothing"
Then the sounds of Elsie's annoyed groans made Cordula turn around to see Lawrence now after another bird with his camera and Elsie giving him a look. Randy gave Cordula a grin "Okay..so it was nothing" Cordula playfully jabbed him in the ribs.
Nick looked at Elsie "Guess some things never change" Elsie huffed as she watched him go off with the camera in his hands.
"He's still for the birds"
