Steve stood there trying to think of what to do next. He was listening to Justin ramble on about problems they were having keeping security fully staffed, a problem that was only magnified after Steve had crushed one of the guards today. He felt is stomach gurgle again.
"You alright there, Mr. Jordan?" Justin asked.
Rubbing his stomach, Steve figured it was just more of the metal from the cars that was giving him indigestion. He had no idea his shrunken daughter fighting for her life was responsible for that. "Yeah it was just something I ate."
"So anyway, what's this new invention of yours do?" Justin said in an inquiring tone. "The matter reducer?"
Steve let out a sigh, trying to think of the best way to describe his shrink ray. "Well, you see, when aimed and fired at an object, it allows the object to decrease in size, including mass. This process can also be reversed." Steve was trying is hardest to make this sound as convoluted as possible and hoped Justin would understand.
Justin just shrugged. "I don't know Mr. Jordan, I was never really good at science."
Steve wasn't shocked. He smiled.
"How about a demonstration?" Justin asked.
Steve's eyes widened. "I really shouldn't, it's getting pretty late."
"C'mon it's already late. And you said it could be reversed, right?" Justin asked, being quite persistent.
With another exhale, Steve felt defeated. He really did not want to demonstrate the shrink ray but feared if he refused to do so, Justin may ask more questions, perhaps to other people. This would surely mean his secret would be out.
"Okay fine," Steve said. "But you NEED to make sure you don't tell anyone about this."
The 25-year-old security guard grinned. "You can trust me Mr. Jordan."
"Alright, let's see here," Steve said, talking to himself. He held up the shrink ray but pulled the trigger prematurely. Who ended up getting shrunk to the size of an ant?
