Dr. Gibbons turned his head to see a young man, around high school age, standing in front of him. The boy was red faced and beating with sweat. Clearly he had been running from wherever he had came from to get here. How he had snuck into the what was supposed to be a highly secured area with armed patrols roaming all around was the first of many questions the doctor had for the young man whose name tag on his shirt read "Johnny".
"What are you doing here? This is a restricted area to all civilians. It's too dangerous to be here." Dr. Gibbons kept one hand on his radio, the other one gripped the device tightly, while his eyes stayed trained on Johnny waiting for his response.
"My name is Johnny Takahashi. This was my home. And this is my mom." Johnny pointed down at moist sole of the woman that made up the ground beneath the two of them.
"I saw the news report on the television at work and ran down here as fast as I could. I know who is responsible for this and what caused this. I know a lot of people have been hurt already but if you don't listen to me a lot more people are going to die because of it.
Dr. Gibbons had to admit the young man did share a strong resemblance to that of the giant woman. One could assume they were at least distantly related. But he also knew assumptions were very dangerous in his line of work. What Johnny said actually caused him pause for a moment. Was this kid serious? Who was he to have such knowledge? Was he making threats? All these questions bounced around inside Gibbons head. One thing was certain. The doctor had to regain control of this situation before Johnny tried to do something stupid.
"That maybe so son, but right now I'm gonna need you to come with me. You shouldn't be here. Let's go" Gibbons took a step forward when Johnny spoke up again.
"No your not listening to me. You have no idea what you are dealing with. My mom isn't a monster and I'm not going to let you poke and prod her like one."
Feeling the tension escalating even more Gibbons takes his hand off his radio to try to reach out and grab Johnny. Johnny in turn takes both of his hands and wraps them around the remote in Gibbons other hand. Soon the pair are grappling for control of the device. Gibbons debated whether he should go for his radio to call for backup or go for the emergency sidearm he had been given.
