[QUOTE="talien, post: 4714374, member: 3285"] [b]A Love in Need: Part 7 – The Plan[/b] “What was all that screaming?” asked Kliss, stroking the boy’s hair in an effort to keep him calm. “Jawolalski’s dead,” said Tageret, out of breath. “There’s a corpse in the bathtub. And I don’t know for sure but I think I saw a dog head flopping around in a fish tank.” He addressed Kliss. “Take your car and get out of here. You and the kid.” Archived looked back and forth between them. “I don’t think that’s a good idea.” “Where are we supposed to go?” asks Kliss. “How much gas do you have?” asks Tageret. “Half a tank.” Tageret checked his watch. “It’s almost three. You can drive till dawn on that. Just keep moving.” Making up her mind, Kliss nodded. She snatched up her keys and dragged David behind her. “Wait!” Archive got up from the bed. “We don’t know if it’s safe.” But it was too late. Kliss pushed the boy around to the passenger side. Then she yanked open the door to the driver’s side … KA-BOOM! A huge explosion rocked the motel. A mushrooming fireball billowed from the front of the motel. In the office, the window shattered from the shockwave. Kliss’ vehicle was a raging inferno. The fire popped and hissed in the pouring rain. Archive ran over to Kliss. She was alive, but unconscious and badly burned. Tageret ran over to the boy. “Where’s the kid?” He shouted, looking around where the boy’s body should have been. “I can’t find him!” Hammer and Jim-Bean ran out from around the opposite sides of the motel. “What the hell happened?” asked Hammer. “Kliss’ car exploded,” said Archive. “They’re not going to let us leave.” “I’m not givin’ em a choice,” said Tageret. “Everyone in my cruiser.” Hammer shook his head. “We make our stand here. Running is suicide. Besides, they may have rigged your car too.” “I’ll take my chances out there than with stay whatever ripped Jawolalski’s jaw off. If you wanna stay, stay.” Tageret leaped inside his cruiser and turned the key in the ignition. Jim-Bean flinched. CLICK. Tageret flipped the key back. More clicks. Tageret shook his head and then noticed something. The hood was raised just a few inches. Like someone worked on the engine then silently closed the hood. His eyes jumped to the police radio ... gone ... just wires. Tageret climbed out, his gun cocked and ready. He moved around the front of the car, scanning the area as he lifted the hood. FWOOSH. A flash of pincers and pink wings. Cilia waving madly. Tageret disappeared with a yelp into the gray skies. His scream returned a second later as his body smashed into the roof of his car. “Alien dogs,” whispered Jim-Bean. “They’re back.” “We’ve got to make a stand here,” said Hammer. “Archive, get Kliss to a room and see what you can do. We’re going to check out the office.” [/QUOTE]
