"Damn it! We're too late!" Steve ground out.
He, Lisa and Debbie found the trail of destruction Erica left in her wake. Buildings were smashed if not leveled, cars were either half crushed or completely compressed, and there was no sign of intelligent life anywhere.
"She's doing it again." Lisa whispered.
As her father reached out to comfort her, Debbie felt a stab of guilt in her chest. She's the one who made this all possible... again. She helped break Erica out of prison and now everyone was going to pay for her mistake.
"I won't let her get away with this." She vowed.
Her biggest concern was for her son, Derek. She hadn't spoken up when Nicole divvied everyone up and now her baby was in the hands of a madwoman. She wasn't all that fond of Beth anymore for obvious reasons, but she was important to Steve and didn't deserve to be left alone with a monster who may have an axe to grind from last time.
Steve sighed. "These nothing we can do now except follow the breadcrumbs."
Lisa agreed. "I hope Derek and Beth are okay."
She didn't know what she'd do if something happened to her brother. He could be a real butt sometimes, but she didn't want to see him get hurt or worse. She didn't want anything bad to happen to Beth either even if she was a homewrecker. The blonde had always been kind and sweet in the few interactions they had.
"They better be." Steve said darkly.
Debbie felt the same way as she walked through the path of destruction her fellow giantess left behind. Aside from a few fires everything was quiet. Too quiet. She couldn't hear anything or find any stragglers hiding among the debris.
"You don't think she's still eating people, do you?" Lisa asked.
"She's still a cannibal even without the shrink ray." Debbie replied.
She recounted what Erica had been like in prison and it honestly left her soon to be Ex-husband and eldest daughter unsettled.
"They were actually calling her the Boogeyman?" Lisa continued.
"That makes sense." Steve nodded. "She's become a symbol of fear and death."
"Yeah. Which is why we need to find Derek and Beth as soon as possible." Debbie frowned.
As the trio continued their march through hell, an idea popped into Steve's head. Risky, but it just might work. The only question was if he could convince his wife to go for it.
"Hey, Debbie? Do you think you can drop me off at Beth's mansion?" He asked.
Lisa looked at him as if he'd grown a second head. Even Debbie looked surprised before her eyes started to twitch.
"One, I don't even know where she lives. And two, how could you even ask me that?!" She snapped.
To Steve credit he didn't even flinch. He remained calm and composed. "Because we stashed something there that could help us."
The eldest of the Jordan siblings looked intrigued. "What is it?"
"The original shrink ray prototype." He answered. "If you take me to Beth's home, I can go get it and we can use it to turn the tide."
"But what about Derek and Beth? Every second is critical." Debbie questioned.
Steve sighed. "We'll need an edge, Debbie. Be honest with me, if it comes down to it do you honestly believe you can beat Erica in a fight?"
The silence was deafening.
"I vote we should go to Beth's mansion." Steve finished.
Debbie didn't look fully convinced. "I vote we find Erica now."
They couldn't agree. They then turned to the only other person present.
Lisa began to sweat. "Why me?"
Steve shrugged. "We need a tiebreaker."
Lisa groaned.
"Please, sweaty. We need to make a choice before it's too late." Debbie urged.
"No pressure or anything." The eldest daughter grumbled. If she chose wrong, then two people could die if they weren't dead already. Did she side with her mother's plan or her father's. She let out an annoyed sigh. "I think we should..."
