"Alright everyone now's the time. We don't know how long Erica's going to just sit there. Double check everything and let's make this count." Steve said with a little panic in his voice.
"I got it Steve." Beth said seemingly ready to get this over with.
As they set everything they all had their eyes focused on the giantess still just sitting outside the park entrance when a voice came from behind them.
"That's far enough. We'll take it from here."
Debbie, Steve, and Beth turned to see an older grey haired man flanked by two large rotund men. One of them carried a bat and the other an axe.
All throughout the day Erica's growth and subsequent rampage was all that news channels and social media could talk about. Her journey as a giantess had taken her from a residential neighborhood, to a university campus, and then into the city. And everywhere she went reports of death in some of the most gruesome ways imaginable followed. As Erica was leaving the city and returning to the suburbs one group decided to put an end to her rampage once and for all.
The loosely organized mob of people that called themselves the neighborhood watch decided enough was enough and planned stop the giantess since the authorities were unable or unwilling to themselves. After scanning their illegal police radios they realized Erica was walking on a direct path towards Nancy Archer Park. Probably to sleep off a bit of indigestion from someone she ate who didn't agree with her. Hopefully she built up an appetite on her walk because they were going to serve her up her last meal.
The makeshift group of volunteers armed themselves with whatever they could find. This mainly consisted of bats, pitch forks, kitchen knives, and strange items that could scrounge up. Still they were confident that they could succeed where trained officers with lethal weapons had failed. Why wouldn't they be? They had managed to drive off raccoons that had infested several trash cans and intimidated teenagers who were out skating by houses past curfew. Compared to those undertaking this would be easy, in their delusional minds.
"Jesus Christ! Who the hell are you guys?!" Debbie shouted.
"Could be asking you the same question dear. Could also be asking about that small fella right there." The older gentleman said pointing at Steve.
"But for now I'll leave my questions aside and just tell you what's gonna happen. You're gonna pack up your big old gizmo and get in your pretty car and high tale it out of here. We don't want any more of your sci-fi experiments in our neighborhood. We'll deal with this how we see fit."
"And how do you plan to do that?" Steve asked.
"We're going to lure her into the center of the park. Oscar here dropped several racks of beef from his deep freezer out in the middle of the park stuffed to the brim with enough of Mrs. Waterstone's sleeping pills to knock out a bull elephant. Once she's out cold we'll move in and everyone can extract a pound of flesh as revenge for everything that monster's done to the community." The leader of the neighborhood watch smiled confident that his plan was fool proof.
"You can't be serious. You people have no idea what your doing?" Steve argued.
"I think we've got the situation all under control. Just as long as no outsiders come along and mess it up." The leader said.
Steve and Debbie were stunned at the man's arrogance. The little bit of power he had in the neighborhood had inflated his ego to dangerous levels. Now that ego was putting other people in serious danger. Before they could tell him off and point out the flaws in his plan Beth gave her thoughts rather bluntly right in the man's face.
"You're plan won't work and you're all going to die." Beth said. Not as a warning. Not as a threat. Just as a fact. Like someone would say the sky is blue.
"What did you say?" the leader sneered at the young blonde woman.
"You heard me old man. You have no idea what you're doing. Whatever you think you know about Erica, you're wrong. I've seen what she's capable of. Bats and axes won't do a damn thing to her. She's a monster and she will never stop killing. If you value the neighborhood that you love so much you'll call off the plan and run for your lives." Beth said, her tongue laced with venom with ever word she spoke.
Before the stunned man could offer a retort to Beth the walkie attached to his belt came to life with a crack of static.
