MAIN Blue and Green

"Lopez," Carnell barked. ”What happened?”

Lopez helped his partner to one of the chairs in the lobby, helped by several pairs of willing hands.

"Not sure Chief," he grunted. "We were trying to help some people evacuate, when one of those things came out of nowhere and tagged Cav. Musta been poisoned or something."

Someone called kept the first aid kit!

Kaida leaned closer to Carnell, and whispered, "Boss-"

And he whispered back, "Yeah, I know. Is there any place we can...contain the situation?"

Kaida opened her mouth.

And Cavanaugh moaned.

"Easy, Werner, easy!" Lopez said. "You took a pretty bad hit out there!"

Cavanaugh, pale and clammy, struggled to sit up, . Several cops held him down. He muttered something.

Lopez bent over. "What is it?"

And his partner grabbed Lopez by the collar, and opened his eyes wide.

His eyes were almost black. Completely black.

Besides the glowing green pupils.

"Run," he rasped.

His wounded arm twitched. He gasped, grabbed it with his good arm, and squeezed it, even as green fluid started leaking through his fingers.

Lopez looked around. "Somebody help him! Why are you so just standing there!"

Nobody looked at him.

They were all staring at Cavanaugh.

Lopez blinked the nascent tears out of his eyes, and slowly, reluctantly looked at his partner.

Cavanaughs arm was much larger. And darker. And pointier.

And it wasn't alone.

Cav kept shaking his head like a dog trying to shoo off a fly. He had his teeth bared, and every time he shook they looked a little darker, a little sharper.

He suddenly toppled off the chair to the floor on one knee. His good arm held him up, but his wounded arm wasn't visible.

Lopez knelt next to his partner, heedless of the other cops' warnings. "Cav? He reached out. Talk to me, man-"

And Cavanaugh's wounded arm shot out, and grabbed Lopez by the throat.

Cavanaugh looked up, and licked his full lips.

When he stood up, he carried Lopez with him effortlessly. And it took a lot of standing. His uniform pants split over his massive thighs, and revealed dark, organic looking flesh.

And it wasn't the only thing straining.

His uniform shirt's buttons finally gave up the ghost, and popped off to reveal Cavanaugh's massive breasts. The monster grabbed the remains of his shirt with the non-wounded hand and tore it off entirely, with the approximate effort one would use to lift a napkin from table.

"Chief!" someone called. "Chief!"

Carnell closed his eyes for a second, as if he was in pain.

Then he turned to Kaida, and said, "Hofferson?"

She swallowed. "Chief?"

He looked her in the eye.

And then he looked at her right hip.

She swallowed again, and drew her gun, for the first time on the job. Several of the other cops followed suit.

Kaida asked, "A-are you sure about this chief?"

Carnell's eyes answered her. And out loud, he said "open fire!"

The results were surprising.
