[QUOTE="Rybaer, post: 1608326, member: 118"] 10th Street, Downtown, Coast City Apr 17 22:46 Granite climbs back out of the manhole. "What's going on down there?" one of the utility workers asks. "Did you find Chuck and Gary?" Granite explains what he found, trying not to be too abrasive. Both utility workers and one of the traffic cops blanch in horror. At the suggestion of calling more cops and even the CDC, one of the cops gets on his radio. Granite then recalls that he was given a business card with a number to call if he ever wanted to get in touch with Professor Fate. He pulls out his wallet and finds it sandwiched between and ATM receipt and a ticket stub from a ballgame some eight months earlier. Dr. Steven Faturius is the name on the card. "Uh, anyone have a cell phone I could borrow?" he says, looking up at the two utility crew members. One guy pulls a cell phone out of his shirt pocket and hands it over. Granite carefully dials Dr. Faturius's cell phone number. ***** 16th Street, Downtown, Coast City Apr 17 22:52 "Well," one of the officers says, "I know the sewer is backed up in quite a few places around the city. Our force is spread pretty thin just dealing with the traffic snarls around the utility crews. I think the utility guys are stretched even thinner. "From what I've heard, they're finding some sort of organic growth down there, plugging up the works. Something that grows really fast. "Now, as for this guy," he waves in the direction of the captive, "I don't know what's going on. He was one of the utility guys that went down below to check things out. There was another who went with him, but he hasn't come back yet. After this guy's appearance, no one else is willing to go into the sewers looking for him." Professor Fate grabs one of the utility crewmen and inquires about maps of the sewers. The guy gives him a curious look. "Well, sure, we've got lots of plans for the city grid in the truck. I'm not allowed to give 'em away or anything, but I suppose you could take a look." (If Professor Fate is carrying Faturius' cell phone, it starts ringing. If not, we'll carry on with the sewer plans.) [/QUOTE]
