Right when she was about to give up all hope and accept defeat, Debbie remembered a crucial piece of information... the bag of Cody's bones was still inside the van!
Without giving it a second thought the woman jumped into the burning vehicle, much to the shock of her husband and his lab assistant.
"Debbie!" He called out.
"Mrs. Jordan!" Beth cried.
The older woman wouldn't be surprised if they thought she was mad, but she just couldn't allow the bag of bones to burn in the inferno. There was still hope and she wasn't about to just roll over and let the madness continue.
She quickly located the bag in the corner and scooped it up into her hands. She gave the flaming prototype one last glance before rushing back to the opening and crawling her way out.
She was quickly helped to her feet by a teary-eyed blonde who was glad she hadn't burned to death.
Steve was also emotional and gave her a light scolding for charging into a flaming vehicle the way she did.
"Sorry." She apologized. "But I just couldn't let Cody's remains burn."
Beth shivered remembering the sight and smell. "You mean the body."
"Yes." She answered. "Because we can still fix this."
"What do you-" Steve couldn't finish his sentence before his wife emptied the contents of the bag onto the ground.
Beth immediately jumped with fright seeing the bones once again and the rancid stench of death for the second time invaded her nostrils. Steve also looked disturbed but was a little more desensitized thanks to his work in the scientific field.
Debbie quickly got down on her knees rummaging through the bones and cold stomach acid to reveal to the pair why she was doing this. In her hands were the broken pieces of the portable shrink ray model and the sight of his baby in piece made her husband wince.
"You can fix this, can't you?" The older woman asked desperately.
Beth recognized the pieces as well and was shocked to see the smaller device in such a state. Doctor Jordan worked so hard on designing it and even made the trigger pink like she suggested. Now it was broken and part of her wanted to cry.
All that research and now the shrink ray was broken... both models.
Steve looked at the broken pieces and thought about if it was even salvageable at all.
The device was broken, covered in stomach remnants, and it smelled, much like Cody's bones.
Could he fix this?
