Debbie raced to join her companion. Beth stood with her hands on her hips next to a large set of foot prints. You know who had definitely been here recently. But what had Erica done with Steve and the prototype? Debbie caught a glimpse of Beth's face and could see the gears in her head turning while also looking like she was going to be sick. Beth's eyes were on a white object stained a bit but very much distinct in what it was on the ground.
Laying next to the footprints was a human bone. The humerus or funny bone to be exact, one of the bigger bones in the human body. Debbie should know. The stained human remain only stirred more questions in Debbie's mind.
"Oh My God! Do you think that monster ate Steve?!" Beth screamed.
"That I don't know Beth but what I am sure about is that that bone doesn't belong to Steve." Debbie said.
"How can you tell Debbie?". Beth asked.
"It's way too big. This bone definitely belonged to someone normal sized. Probably around 6 ft tall. Also look more closely."
"I'd rather not. I could barely pass biology when we had to dissect frogs in high school." Beth said rather grossed out.
"Any way. This bone is almost devoid of any flesh or tissue like it's been through a drum of hydrochloric acid." Debbie stated. Now she felt like the scientist.
This was unusual to see. Earlier outside the cafeteria Debbie distinctly remembered hearing the bone crushing sounds Erica made as she chewed up her victims. Debbie didn't think she'd every be able to forget them. While it was possible a bone had gotten lodged in the giant woman's teeth only for her to pick it out right here this was still highly unlikely. Such a large bone would've showed signs of fractures, teeth marks, or at least have some traces of flesh still attached.
The only way it would look like this was if it had gone through the process of digestion and was expelled from the body. Debbie found no other indiction that had taken place as of yet. Erica's victims remains wouldn't be released until later on. Debbie shuddered at the thought of such an act and hoped to avoid experiencing it first hand.
"This gross Debbie, it reminds me when I found that sack of bones back in the lab. I think I'll be scarred for life." Beth said shaken.
Cody. Debbie thought.
"Beth that's it!" Debbie said excitedly as she ran back towards the van.
"What's it?" Beth asked following the older woman.
Sure enough the sack of bones Debbie had brought along was also missing.
Without saying a word Debbie walked back to where funny bone rested on the ground. She looked towards where the front of Erica's foot print was pointed and turned her head in that direction. A few yards ahead Debbie could more little grey and white bits littering the pavement.
Debbie stared ahead before asking Beth a seemingly bizarre question.
"Beth do you have a bag in your car?" Debbie asked.
"Yeah my gym bag. Why?" Beth said.
"I think Steve left us trail of breadcrumbs to follow."
