Running Up Cardiac Hill

Brick: Hey, yo! Me & James pass by the hippie on the way out of the theater. Then the 3 of us follow the path of destruction behind the bird, but it doesn't look like it's catching up. I want to slow it down but there is nothin' to toss at the monster!

It takes a while, but the path becomes familiar to me. We're headin' up Cardiac Hill to the campus gym! The other guys don't look so hot during the climb, but coach has made me make this run a hundred times. The hippie is too soft to make it all the way to the top & goes back to get the others.

If I'm rememberin' right, Maxwell's doin' laps in the pool today so he's probably what the bird's after.

We find the hole in the building where the bird let itself in. Since I know the building pretty well, I am able to lead James to the pool room through a shortcut.

Showdown at the Pool

Brick: Maxwell is in the middle of the pool when the bird comes in. We try to ambush it, but I guess it hears us. As we regroup, I run out to get something to throw at it.

The closest room that has anything is the weight rooms. I grab two 50 lbs. weights & run back. I toss 1 at it & it takes the hit hard. It knows better than the to take the 2nd weight so it dodges.

The bird gets knocked into the water & dissolves leaving an over-sized egg.

We decide to find out more about the egg from Dr. Washington, but she said we could only get more tests if we sold it too her. I offer to keep it, but the group decides to keep it in a lockbox... & I kinda wanted to be there when whatever hatches from it... Well, whatever...
