Avaris Man II

INTRODUCTION

The story named “Avaris Man II” is another Science Fiction novel which happens to be the sequel to “Avaris Man.” The beginning scene opens up with Avery’s father catching some images from a window display, although they don’t stir much interest other than provoking him to return to the scene of Avery’s demeanor.

Nevertheless, Avery’s father doesn’t get there in time to find out what’s really going on with his son and his evolutional change of conformity of will. It doesn’t take too much longer before the footprints of Avaris Man are found and he is separated from Avaris Woman. Then afterwards the trappers find him on their infra-red sensors and trap him in some larger nets that they have set as a trap across one of the swamps.

Immediately he is taken and held captive and then transported to a science laboratory with a large avarium fish tank which is designed for space fish such as blue and red sidewinder avaris. On the way of his delivery to the science laboratory he develops a psychic bond with Avaris Woman as she thinks about how to aid in his rescue and get him back.

Of course, she has to find out where he was taken to and this is where Dr. Kill Pond becomes the opponent once again as the plot heightens when Avaris Woman sees a vision of the ghosts of his friends. With their help she builds an extra sensory perception with him as her sexual drive becomes more powerful as she becomes more aware of her impregnation.

She draws herself closer to the science laboratory about the time that the scientists sedate him in order to try and study his anatomy and body tolerances to certain conditions along with test studies and observations. In due time, her sex drive and the care for the family of their species becomes too powerful and she kills several guards before freeing him.

After making a bitter escape, she realizes what it takes to keep a family together despite their evolutionary change and their conformity. Towards the end of the story the story shifts when Avery’s father catches up to him before they both return to the water tributary where they answer the call to their powerful obsessions.

PROLOGUE

Here’s a story that opens with a scene that defines the curiosity of the unknown world to the observer who happens to be Avery’s father. Momentarily he has run out of all resources known to without distracting himself from the parents of the other victims. So far he has left that up to the EPA Authorities to inform them while he prevails with the search for his lost son.

At the beginning he discovers some images which provoke some feeling, although they just persuade him to return to the water tributary where the scene of the crime happened. Taking some time for him to arrive there, Avaris Man is trapped and taken to a science laboratory and remains unseen by his father until the very end. Nonetheless, Avaris Woman remains a mystery and unknown as she aids in his rescue to save her moral choice and ethics of life.

The first scene of the story starts with Avery’s father ready to cross the street at a small town street corner. Across the street he notices a window display and decides to cross the street to take a look. He stands there for a while staring at many of the images through the glass. Soon he leaves once again and continues on with his search for his son Avery.

CHAPTER ONE

Avery’s father has a keen look on his face as he walks down the street looking around for any signs of his son. Approaching a street crossing, he notices a window display with some manikins dressed in some peculiar clothes of a strange nature. Glancing over towards the window he looks away to some other people crossing the street the other way. Realizing that his son Avery isn’t amongst them, he turns and crosses the street towards the window display.

While crossing the street, a jeep full of teenagers look and turn up the radio and yell and holler at him as he passes by. Trying to avoid any confrontations with any, Avery’s father continues walking by as fast as he can to make his way across the street. Once at the other side of the street, he steps up onto the curb and looks back for a split second realizing that Avery isn’t amongst them either. After turning his head towards the building, he walks passed the corner and see the window he noticed from across the street.

After taking a few more steps towards the window of the clothes avarium, he stops and looks at the manikins which are dressed in weird attire to him. Getting a good look at the kind of clothes there are in front of him, Avery’s father notices some Umen clothing that kind of strikes a fancy with the older image he has with his Levi pants that were all large letters. For some reason the capitalized letter has a resemblance. Thinking back, he recalls the newer Levis’ having a capitalized first letter followed by lower case letters.

Turning his eye to another article of clothing on another dummy like female manikin, Avery’s father notices a greenish Rock Republic shirt with artwork resembling another facet of an image with his reckoning. Below are some black lace tights with a sexy appeal to them and a belt buckle that shaped like a fish. Looking to the floor of the display there is a watery floor like look that appears to be like a shallow pond. Next to it is a bit of dirt which looks like wet mud. There’s another manikin standing there backwards with a pair of Mudd pants and a sign that says, “In the Mudd! Anyhow, Avery’s father turns to some Avaris t-shirt clothing on a male manikin. Of course, this t-shirt mod is a bit different than the others with a bunch of hammerhead like fish all over the front schooling in different directions.

With a fourth wall like proscenium, Avery’s father glares over to the back wall noticing a red Avirex t-shirt hanging on a hanger that seems to be painted by an air brush. At the side airbrushed with an integrated pattern the t-shirt says, “The real one!”

After staring he looks back at the Avaris t-shirt and then and then away from the images that have been thrown at him, Avery’s father takes one last peak around while thinking what course of action he should partake of at the moment. He thinks about his pants which are a pair of “Boggs” and then he looks at his dress shirt which is a brownish grayish shirt that says “Muck. “Momentarily he decides that maybe the best idea that has come to mind is to make his way to the scene of the accident or crime or whatever he wants to call it at the moment.

Anyhow he takes another last look at the window display before turning away to take a trip out to the forbidden swamps as everyone in the town calls them. Then he notices a pair of swampy gator lacrosse shorts in the near left hand corner towards the front window and next to that is a pair of Guess Jeans which really gets him thinking.

In retrospect, he realizes that he has the right idea and quickly leaves the window display. Walking away, Avery’s father turns and heads back to his vehicle which has left a few streets away. As he leaves, he looks around at other passers-by people as they enter and exit many of the establishments that are still open.

Soon after crossing a few streets, Avery’s father makes his way to his vehicle. Before opening the car door with his key, he hears a squealing sound that seems to sound similar to a wolf howl like a wolverine, although it has a much higher pitch to it. Listening quietly as the sound tends to fade away; he puts the door key to the car in and opens it while he takes another look to a waxing moon that will be nearly full within a few days.

With a quietness ringing through his ears as he opens the car door, Avery’s father enters while getting inside quickly thinking about some supernatural thoughts that have been rummaging through his head. Quickly he starts the car and then begins to drive away really fast. While driving, he pulls out his map and looks at the quickest way to get out to the swamps without wasting too much time.

Back at the swamps, Avaris Man and Avaris Woman are swimming together passed some water lilies side by side.

Getting confused on what to do out here, Avira thinks about a farm not too far from the other end of the swamp where there are some fruit trees. Bringing this thought to Avery’s mind so that they don’t have to starve all of the time, Avira instructs her partner telling him, “Hey, there’s an orchard not too far from here that I know about. We could easily pick what we want without being seen. It’s not too far from the other end of the swamps!”

Avery wonders what direction it is asking, “Where is it at?”

Avira answers back saying, “The orchard is over that way!”

As they start to head that way Avery wonders what there all is over there as far as fruit goes asking, “What kind of fruit trees are over there?”

Thinking about that for a second, Avira says, “There are oranges and peaches I know for sure. I think there are even some apricots through there in some places.”

Avery’s stomach starts to growl just from having the thoughts rummaging around in his hungry mind that feels so malnourished by this point in time. Wanting to fill his hunger pains, he says, “Let’s go there, and show me where this orchard is at!”

Back at the command center the team of trackers has a table of their gear with back packs and many forms of lighting. They have everything sprawled out on a table as Dr. Kill Pond observes their equipment which will be used in the pursuit of Avaris Man. At this time all of the extraction team is here ready to find and capture the truth of Avaris Man to use him for study of discovery.

First off, Hunter asks a question, “So I hear we’re after a bird like man or something!”

Thereafter, Dr. X has a line of his own explaining, “My name is Dr. X because I don’t want people getting me confused with anything that’s rated ‘X’. What we are after is a species of fish that’s as rare as a meteor from space.”

At first Dr. Kill Pond changes the mood by asking them to go over their supplies saying, “So what goodies have you brought for us on occasion?”

Of course, Hunter is the first the talk them through the equipment saying, “First off we have brought three out board motor boats which will be used by three teams. The first team will be I and Gunny and the second team will be Trapper and Catch.”

Dr. X wonders who the third team is asking, “And who is the third team?”

Hunter chuckles to himself slightly informing him, “The third team will be you and Dr. Waters in the third out board motor. Your job is to stay back behind the other two out board motors just in case we see something that we can’t get to. Also we need you as a rear stand-by just in case there is an emergency!”

Dr. Kill Pond wonders what she is to do querying, “And what am I supposed to do?”

Hunter describes Dr. Kill Pond’s duties telling her, “Your job is to run the command center with all of the monitors to all of the surveillance, hidden spy and security cameras that are set up out there. We have motion sensors set up with a perimeter around the swamp which will be monitored. Your job is also to monitor anything on shore around the command center within 100 yards up to the second spy camera and perimeter camera that we have set up. You will not engage anything out of sight from the command center. We will all be supplied with walkie talkies to communicate with one another. We will each be equipped with 50,000 volt Taser guns. Another thing is that we want to take him alive and we’re not heading or moving out until after nightfall to keep us camouflaged to a great degree. We will use drop nets to make the catch after he is sedated.“

Looking away from the command center monitors overseeing the hidden spy surveillance cameras, Hunter starts to look at the equipment in order to go over it with them all. He looks to the table and points to some underwater camera equipment informing them saying, “Here’s two underwater cams that will be supplied for each of the lead teams. And for my team I have a mini underwater robot submarine that is equipped with another underwater camera.”

Moving slightly towards some more equipment he has prepared for demonstration on the table Hunter adds, “Over here I have an infra-red scope that I will use when we make some sort of contact with the person, entity, or anything out of the ordinary.”

Next Hunter turns to a lighting harness that will be used by Dr. Kill Pond when she acts as the main eyes as far as the ground crew is concerned. Quickly he looks to her and says, “And here is your aperture if you see anything within the first perimeter marker. Otherwise you are to only maintain as our eyes for a perimeter breach.”

First off Hunter hands everyone their radios that will be used to communicate with one another while they are in active with the search. While handing the radios out, Gunny asks, “Why do you bring these big CB radios?”

Immediately Hunter answers his question by saying, “These are only to be used as back up if something happens to your headset.”

Thinking about how he feels like a child by Hunter’s tone of voice, Trapper says, “It’s not like I have never been on a safari before!”

Just then Hunter points to the scuba gear that is greenish in color with the swampiest camouflage ever seen telling them, “That’s why I brought my new scuba gear that I had made for a special occasion such as this!”

They all look noticing the blue and green array of colors that camouflage the scuba suits. Ready to make a comment about the scuba suits, Catch asks, “When did you make those?”

Right away Hunter dismisses the question by exclaiming, “Don’t worry about that; I’m somewhat of a designer myself!”

Making a funny comment Trapper shrills, “You design a certain color of a scuba suit and you think you’re a clothes designer ready to hit the walk!”

Getting ready to proceed with the task of catching the culprit of their demeanors, Dr. Waters’ buts in commanding, “Alright, let’s cut the chit-chat and get to work already!”

Instantly Dr. Kill Pond interrupts telling them all, “Forget the scuba gear; we have too many toxins in the swamp already and we don’t want to risk any more injuries.”

Gunny makes a brave comment informing his comrades, “Do you think a little bit of neurotoxin and some deranged fish is going to stop us from making our bounty!”

Dr. Kill Pond responds to the remark he just made fairly harshly saying, “Suit yourself!”

Discerning with the thoughts of money and fame in his mind, Hunter responds, “Don’t worry, I will!”

Strait forth Hunter begins to hand out the equipment as they all get ready to venture back into the territory to search for more clues as to the whereabouts of Avery. Everything is already set and ready to go now with the pursuit. The out board motors are ready waiting for the team to head off into the deeper parts of the swamp. They all exit the command post as Dr. Kill Pond stays behind to monitor the surveillance equipment by watching a computer screen.

Before leaving the command post Dr. X turns around saying, “Will you be alright?”

Dr. Kill Pond peeks past his shoulder watching them all walk towards the three out board boats. With a sigh of relief that maybe the situation will be under control, Dr. Kill Pond replies, “Yes, I’ll be okay, just get that Avery. We still have lots more clean-up to do yet!”

Quickly Dr. X goes outside and heads to the out board motors. He gets in with Dr. Waters who happens to be patiently a waiting for him with a nervous feeling about the course of action.

Of course, Hunter turns to everyone asking, “Are you all ready?”

Everyone from the other two boats looks at him as Trapper says, “Let’s go already!”

Immediately Hunter feels rushed. He looks to Dr. X and Dr. Waters saying, “Just make sure the both of you stay behind just in case we pass something up or in case one of us needs back up!”

Just then Hunter instructs, “Start your motors and let’s head out!”

Of course, Hunter and Gunny are the first to take off in the lead heading to the left side of the swamp following the bank with a slow pace. Trapper and Catch turn over to the right side of the swamp following along the bank with a slow pace as well.

Dr. X and Dr. Waters follow the both of them from behind as a lookout to their rear. The sky is becoming dusk as the sun starts to disappear behind the trees that surround the swamps and nearby tributaries. Within the first part of the search much precaution is taken as they take it really slow looking for disruptions in the water surface as many different things distract their attention.

Now we go back to Avira and Avery who are eating from the fruit trees that Avira remembers seeing at some point in the past. Realizing that it is going to be dark soon, Avira implores, “It’s going to be dark soon. Should we take some with us?”

Nevertheless Avery wants to stay there to hang out and relax a while to enjoy the fruits of a day’s hard work, or should it be considered another day of surviving. For some reason he doesn’t want to venture around too much which could result in being seen by the scientists or maybe some swimmers. Many different people usually come here to enjoy themselves from time to time. There’s a slight chance that their relationship could be hindered if they take any precautions within the swamps.

Bringing this foresight to mind, Avery says, “Why, we should stay here and relax and feel at home!”

Agreeing with Avery, Avira, replies, “Why not, where else do we have to go but back to my car!”

Meanwhile Avery starts to get closer to Avira as they sit there together leaning against an apricot tree that sets next to a row of peach trees belonging to a nearby farm. After another moment, Avery turns to kiss Avira as she turns in response. Soon they fall into a love making frenzy. It doesn’t take much longer before they are making love in an array of strange passions. The skies go darker as they abide their time nesting in a new area that suits their personal needs and desires.

They continue bonding for quite some time before dozing off for a while. While lying there quietly for a while longer, Avira thinks to herself about the last time they had made love. Looking to Avery she says, “What do you think would happen if I were to get pregnant?”

Opening his eyes wondering what in the heck sparked that conversation, Avery asks, “Why are you asking that?”

Picturing herself pregnant with some different kind of child that looks fish like in her mind, she comments, “I was thinking about what would happen if I was pregnant and had a child that looks like a species similar to us now!”

Of course, Avery realizes just how strange that sounds. It’s almost like the theatre of the absurd, although her insulation applies to the world of science fiction in a sense. Nevertheless she’s implying on the reality of true life. Here’s a situation that she would never had thought to have happened ever in her life. She feels this way because she had recently had a dream about herself being pregnant having a baby in the swamp that nearly lived inside of her kind of like a shark does when the young devour each other. However this child was a female daughter that she had that had killed her brothers off trying to survive inside her womb before swimming out from inside of her and off into the nearby waterways.

In her dream Avery wasn’t there for some reason. It seemed that she had felt she were alone in some way or another. And like all of her other dreams there were only bits and pieces of the vision and only some parts of them even come true somehow for some unknown reason. Anyways after Avery gives the idea some thought for a moment, he replies, “I don’t know, how could you be pregnant already?”

Explaining to Avery how she feels, Avira says, “I’m not so sure; I feel kind of funny for some reason!”

Discerning the notion to mind, Avery implies, “I don’t think it would be that noticeable if you were because those poisonous fish aren’t mammals, so you would probably lay eggs if you were I’d suppose!”

Mentioning how he sounds fairly smart, Avira annotates, “You sound like a marine biologist or something!”

Feeling like he’s not that sophisticated, Avery suggests, “Well, I’m not really that smart only whales, sharks, and a few other mammals of the ocean really have offspring like us. Most on land or fresh water species of fish lay eggs like crabs and turtles, although they are much bigger than fish. Haven’t you ever seen tadpole eggs that frogs lay in the mosses and algae’s?”

Pondering back to many times she’s gone fishing with her father at the lake she answers, “I think so, maybe! You’re right I guess, but that brings an awful image to my mind.”

Thinking the same, how having any offspring brings a terrible picture to thought, especially with the conditions they are living in. Bringing this to her attention, Avery declares, “That does bring an awful picture to mind because we don’t have any way to provide for a child, especially living in the swamps!”

With thoughts of leaving this place behind someday, Avira balks, “We wouldn’t have to provide for the child because they would have adapted to the environment.”

Wondering about how they need to do the same, which is adapt to their environment even though they have obstacles to face, Avery answers back saying, “That’s what we need to do adapt to our environment and blend in like a chameleon to our surroundings. The problem is the scientists will be back on our trail eventually!”

Avira has some more absurd concepts she’s has contemplated. Describing another model to use to their aid maybe, “Avira says, “Maybe if we had a child, if it were a he and it died, they would think that you were dead!”

Of course, he agrees with the theme of setting himself free, still there is a problem with the world of science which makes it hard to diffuse the fact that it would be him. Relinquishing his words on the matter, Avery drivels, “Yes, possibly, although they would probably test the DNA and realize that the DNA is similar and then they would find out about you as well perhaps.”

“Perchance you’re right; it was just an idea of how we could free ourselves from the clutches of a science disaster,” Avira adds with a shaky tone to her voice.

Ready to head back to their usual place within the swamp by the large tree, Avery says, “Let’s go back to the large tree and we will take some fruit with us!”

Jumping back to the trappers and their progress of the pursuit of Avaris Man, Hunter takes the out board motor boat along the edges of the swamp very slowly looking for any traces or signs. There are clumps of alligator weeds mixed with swamp trees sprawled throughout the edges of the bank. There are also many cypress trees and black gum trees surrounding the area. On the other side is Trapper and Catch who are slowly boating along the edge of the swamp while looking for traces or any evidence of anything. Wondering why it is so quiet now, Catch says, “It seems fairly quiet right now; so what makes them think he’s even still out here anyways?”

Trapper has an answer that is okay, although he doesn’t really know all of the answers. However Trapper feels that he has to be out there still somewhere hiding and abiding his time, Trapper remarks, “He has to be out there somewhere because he has nowhere else to go. Where’s he going to go looking the way he does. This is a world where man versus society and he is no longer considered a man. He is considered a freak of science and a freak of nature and he is about to verse society by giving his body to science when we catch him!”

Recognizing those as pretty harsh words, Catch gabbles, “Those are pretty harsh words, whoever he is he is scared and frightened and knows that the world of science will eventually catch up with him. And he will probably resort to anything to blend in to his environment!”

Just then, Hunter interrupts the conversation from afar saying on the radio, “Any signs of anything?”

Immediately Trapper answers back on the radio saying, “Nothing so far!”

Following suit Dr. Waters answers back on his radio informing Hunter, “Nothing back here either!”

Just then Gunny sees some jump within a patch of floating leaves that cover the area about twenty yards away that makes a splashing sound as it swims under the water. Reacting quickly, Gunny says while shining his flashlight to the area, “Did you hear that?”

Responding to Gunny’s senses, Hunter says, “Yes, I heard that!”

While aiming the flashlight to the exact spot many ripples can be seen meandering away from the spot. Speedily Hunter turns the boat in that direction as Gunny casts his voice over the radio to the others telling them all, “We spotted something over here where I’m shining my flashlight.”

After a few more moments they approach the spot as Hunter kills the boat motor to an idling pace. Hurriedly Hunter uses his infra-red imaging which appears to have nothing on the screen as far as heat sensing is concerned. Relenting what he sees to the others as the other boats pulls up aiding in a rendezvous, Hunter tells Gunny and the other nearing by, “Nothing is on the infra-red scope! Whatever it was it went under the surface of the water and swam away somewhere.”

Anxious to see and find out what it was that went under the water, Trapper says, “Let’s send down the underwater camera and see if we can see anything down there still.”

As fast as he possibly can Hunter grabs the underwater camera and puts it inside the water. While lowering the cable tied to it Hunter says, “Trapper set in a sound monitoring system so we can try and listen in on anything that may be down there still!”

Quickly Hunter sticks in an underwater microphone that he has ready to go inside of the outboard motor boat. After lowering it the sounds of the murky waters can be heard brushing against the speakers. The sounds are very faint though as many plants brush up against the speaker as it is lowered even more.

Wondering if there are any traces of anything yet on the computer monitor screen for the camera, Hunter asks Gunny, “See anything on the camera computer screen yet.”

Gunny looks though he doesn’t notice anything out of the ordinary except plants and stirred up sediments from whatever it was that had apparently split from the area. Bringing this to mind, Gunny retorts, “No, nothing yet. But there are some stirred up sediments from whatever it was that fled the area.”

Hunter doesn’t want to stop searching for whatever it was as of yet. There’s a chance that it may still be in the area somewhere close to them. Obviously, there are a lot of obstacles such as debris and many swamp like plants growing. Many of them range from floating swamp lilies, lotuses, as well as floating leaves of water lettuce that covers the area.

Hunter then decides to have Gunny turn the camera around to have an entire 360 degree angle on the underwater surface. He tells Gunny, “Turn the camera around all of the way to have a look around at the other side behind the camera.”

Gunny starts turn the camera around by turning a control knob on the control panel. When the camera spins around the other way, an image of an avaris can be seen darting past spewing up more sediment that makes the water very murky and hard to see through. Right away Gunny babbles, “Got something!”

Hunter leans over and looks seeing a hammerhead avaris swim forth disappearing in its own cloud like dust near the bottom of the swamp. Wondering what it is Hunter says out loud to Dr. Waters and Dr. X, “Looks like one of those avaris creatures you’re trying to kill!”

Dr. Waters tries to get the right picture into his mind by explaining to him how the species is actually a mutation like virus infecting a host countering, “Let’s just think of it as a-virus, or a-virex for now!”

Catch can’t really believe what he is hearing, sounds like a bunch of hog wash. Anyways with a catch to his humor, Catch says, “Where did you come up with these bull crap names in the first place? Sounds like a bunch of hog wash. A-virus based on some pig mutation from levees of pig fat leaking into ocean shorelines and nearby water tributaries coming inland.”

Dr. X adds a line of his curiosity theoretically insinuating, “Well, we still need more research and that’s why we need to catch him alive. We have a few species we have extracted from the swamps alive that will be sent out to a laboratory for research. But they are even far too dangerous even when in the tank. They are very psychic and can sting from a distance. We had to stop injecting the swamp because of the circumstances with his unexpectedness.”

Hunter jumps back into the command of the whole entire expedition of pursuing Avaris Man saying, “There’s nothing else here but a few fish. It’s time to pull up everything and move on I suppose!”

Soon they pull up the underwater camera and underwater microphone and prepare to head out again in the same sequence. Ready to move on Hunter commands, “Well, let’s move on in the same pattern one boat on each bank and one to the rear as back-up!”

Meanwhile Avery’s father has made his way out to the swamps on Green Highway. He parks kind of faraway hiding his car on the other side of the highway opposite the swamp and command center.

Quickly he gets out with a flashlight and a club for protection considering that he has no idea what to expect out here. He looks to the highway as there is little traffic with some cars passing by. Quickly he starts to make his way across the highway. Once on the other side he sees the command center which looks like there is hardly any action going on at the moment.

Deciding that he should take a closer look he approaches the vehicles and glances around noticing that there are lots of vehicles although it is sort of quiet. Then he makes his way to the side of the command center where he hears a voice come over the radio. The voice is Hunter checking back with Dr. Kill Pond saying, “See anything yet on the hidden camera monitors?”

Immediately Dr. Kill Pond answers back informing him, “No nothing yet, what were you all saying that you found something?”

Answering back speedily Hunter tells her, “It was nothing just another one of them hammerheads is all! So far there is no sight of him?”

Dr. Kill Pond replies fastly, “Well keep looking for him and try to find him before day light.”

After slightly hearing some of the conversation through the thin walls of the canopy tent, Avery’s father disappears into the thickened swamp trees that surround the whole entire place. Once out of sight from the command center he starts to ponder what he makes of his position within the matter of circumstance. It seems that everything has been kept quiet and they are searching for someone. Nonetheless he realizes that something is obviously wrong with Avery and that he is in real danger. Other than that he really has no clue as to what’s happening as far as the trappers who are trying to catch up with his trail for the catch.

Nevertheless he feels that he should have a look around the edges of the swamp on both sides without letting anybody see him so that he can assess the circumstances. So far everything is muddy and murky as he heads further into the swamp away from the highway. Still he tends to stay near the banks without sinking into the mud soil that is stained with many minerals such as manganese in some areas.

Moreover Avery’s father tries to adjust his eyes trying not to give away his location about the fact that he is out there searching for answers to his son’s whereabouts. So far he is clueless as to whether or not Avery is even still alive. To his knowledge he may already be dead and he’s wasting his time out here. Yet he is still curious as to why he can hear the CB radio cab around to what sounds like the pursuit of someone. And he definitely believes that his son may be alive and that he is in great danger if he really is the undead.

Either way he feels that he must have a look around and discover the truth by himself. He feels that something just isn’t right with this place and that there is more to what he has been told. At the same time he is sort of frightened and feels very sorry for his son who he believes is obviously alone out there by himself with no one to confide in. He even stayed away from and kept his distance from the parents of Avery’s friends parents in order to keep his mind straight to investigate and discover the truth.

Continuing on through the struggle within the thickened swamp of swamp grass and swampy meadows, Avery’s father leaves the area nearby the command post. He travels along before seeing some wreckage which looks like an air boat from the distance even in the dark shadow of the night sky. Confused and alarmed, he turns away and heads another direction that seems to have a lot less swampy mud that keeps catching his feet to where his shoes nearly come off from sticking in the mud. He realizes that he really isn’t dressed for the part; however he doesn’t have any time to kill if he wants to save and rescue his son.
