Her car was gone...
The clothes were ruined...
The project was in shambles...
And a giant woman was terrorizing the city...
Beth was not having a good day. For the first time since she started working for Professor Jordan, she'd gotten a glimpse of the uglier side of science. Never in a million years did she think the shrink ray project would spiral out of control like this. This sort of thing was only supposed to happen in horror movies!
"Beth?" Debbie called out. "I managed to find a burner phone."
After the pothole incident the pair found themselves seeking refuge in a nearby Planet Fitness. It was there they were able to find a clean shower and fresh pair of clothes to wear. The feeling of muck and scum would haunt them for months to come, of that they were certain. Thankfully there was a CVS across the street where Debbie was able to get her hands on a phone.
"I've set everything up. You call Steve and I'll see if I can't hotwire us a car." She spoke before dropping the device in the younger woman's hands.
Beth knew her companion was frightened but she was trying to push through despite that fact. Debbie had been something of a rock in all this carnage and the blonde was grateful for that. As Debbie ventured out into the wild, the blonde lab assistant turned her attention to the phone and began to make the call.
The wait was agonizing.
What if Steve didn't answer...?
What if he was anger at her for taking so long...?
What if the giantess found him and gobbled him up...?
Beth didn't even want to entertain the last one. The professor wasn't dead because if he was, then so were all of them. He had the prototype with him after all.
"Please pick up." She whimpered.
"Beth?!" Steve's voice called out.
"Professor...!" Beth nearly cried.
