Debbie peered in buildings in hopes of finding Steve somewhere in one of these dark offices. She tapped on the glass of several windows shattering them completely.
"Oops. Sorry." Debbie said.
"Why are you apologizing? I'm going to level this whole place once you realize brain boy isn't here." Erica asked.
Debbie couldn't help it. It had been Debbie's hope to cause as little damage as possible while searching for her family. But that proved to be a fool's wish. Throughout this whole time she felt like some giant klutz. Constantly stepping on and breaking things. It felt like getting a growth spurt after puberty but on a much larger scale. It didn't help that Erica was seemingly trying to push her destructive nature on to her. Debbie didn't know how much longer she could take it. The world wasn't built for someone her size and her frustration was starting to show.
After another failed search Debbie decided to back up and get a better view of the complex as a whole. As the sane goes sometimes you can't see the forest through the trees. It was from a little farther back that Debbie thought she could make out a glimmer of light by the side of one of the buildings. It was faint but it was a sign of some sort of activity. That was reason enough to investigate.
The giant older woman quickly stomped over. It was a light alright. The inside looked like some sort of conference room. Debbie's big eyes scanned the space and they lit up as she noticed a small little dark figure cowering in the corner of the room.
"Steve?! Is that you?!" Debbie yelled
Debbie didn't wait for a response as she plunged her fist inside. She felt around until she grasped a warm body in her fingers and pulled it out. Debbie's face erupted in a big smile as she expected to see her husband in her hand. Instead she frowned. Instead it was a small woman. By the look of her uniform probably part of a night cleaning crew.
"Dammit!" Debbie yelled and stomped her foot hard on the ground.
"What you find?" Erica said as she walked over to her giant counterpart.
"Just some cleaning lady. I thought it was Steve." Debbie said.
Erica looked down at the cleaner then back at Debbie.
"Yeah. You need to get your glasses checked old lady. Anywho. Give her here. I haven't had any meat since we left the prison." Erica said.
"What the hell are you talking about? She's a person." Debbie protested.
"Yeah and that means very little to giants like us. What did you think this life entailed Debbie? Giant pancakes and syrup? Hate to break it to you babe but we have to fend for ourselves out here. That means grocery stores and delis. That means farms and woods. That means any fresh meat we can find. And that includes people when given the opportunity."
"How can you say such a thing? You'd eat anyone you come across?" Debbie said disgusted.
"You already know the answer Debbie even if you don't want to admit it. Or have you forgotten my first time as a giant already?" Erica asked.
Debbie certainly hadn't. The horror she witnessed from the ground will haunt her forever. Maybe naively she thought it would be different this time. That she could influence Erica to make better choices. Instead it seemed Erica was working hard to influence her.
"So what's it going to be Debbie?" Erica asked impatiently.
"Oops. Sorry." Debbie said.
"Why are you apologizing? I'm going to level this whole place once you realize brain boy isn't here." Erica asked.
