"Nothing," Turner answered as they made their way toward the streets below on the outskirts of Bellingham, Washington.
"What?" Edulcore Cicciotto asked, curious to Turner's answer.
"We don't even need money."
"But?"
"Trust me on it." Turner walked away, and Edulcore followed.
"Wait, Turner, you don't mean?"
Turner approached a Jeep Wrangler, a '99 model, new but dirty from offroading. "Sorry, but desperate times call for desperate measures." Turner's eyes lit up, and energy surged through the car, starting its engine.
"I can't do this," said Edulcore. "I don't need another thing on my consci--"
"This is what they pay insurance for. Not only will they get a nice sum of money, but they will be able to buy a NEW Jeep."
"Oh, in that case..." Edulcore jumped in, and they began driving down the road.
"Where to?"
Before Edulcore could answer, the beast was back with a vengeance. It jumped directly in front of the Jeep. In a split second, Turner pushed Edulcore from the car. Upon impact with the beast, Turner and the car went up in flames.
Edulcore could only watch in horror.
He looked at the Jeep in flames, feeling fear. He was scared. Only days ago, he would have jumped right into the fire to rescue Turner. Now he couldn't. He was a normal human now.
And the monster? They buried that Bigfoot under a pile of rock -- how could have he returned? Were there more of them?
Cicciotto got to his feet, wiping dust and dirt off his clothes. Then he noticed a figure rising from the fiery blaze of the Jeep, the so-called Bigfoot, the monster, the madman. Could it not be stopped?
Cicciotto was frozen. Was this creature able to take out Turner, possibly one of the world's most powerful men?
Then another figure rose from the fire. The smaller figure grabbed the larger one, and electricity erupted from his hands, blowing the figure at least twenty feet away into the side of a building.
By now the public had gathered to watch the spectacle and was very afraid. People began screaming. Small-town cops began to circle the two figures in. Cicciotto knew that this was NOT a good development.
