The large furry humanoid had appeared out of nowhere and was now battling the zombies. He grabbed the heads of two and smashed them together. With a single massive paw, he could snap a neck and, boy did he.
Within minutes, he had thinned out the herd. He took the second-to-last one by the feet, swung him like a baseball bat and whacked the last one in the head like a tee ball extraordinaire. Home run, mofo!
The small crowd watching from the Centimator actually did go wild. Even Cyril had roused from her fetal position to watch what had happened. Now that the battle seemed to be over, she didn't cheer, but she also didn't go back into a fetal position. Edger put an arm around her shoulder.
"Yeah, you know. I think that's a Sasquatch, a Bigfoot. What else do they call those things?" asked Hewlett, like that was the most important matter at the moment.
"How about a thesaurus?" suggested Mbu.
"No, I don't think I've ever heard it called that," said Hewlett, which earned him a punch on the shoulder.
The Bigfoot turned toward the Centimator. "Uh, dad. Does this thing go in reverse?" asked Yanluo.
"His name is Yorren," said Cyril.
"Sweety, don't start with that," Edger said.
"Mom would have believed me," retorted Cyril.
Edger turned to the rest of the people in the vehicle. "Cyril says she can communicate with animals."
"I don't say I can. I can. I've been able to all my life. So could my mother," Cyril explained.
"You said his name is Yorren?" asked Father Ng.
"Yes, he says his home is not too far from here. His family is there."
"I thought we were gonna go to that camp," said Mbu.
"Could you ask him about the camp?" said Father Ng.
Cyril had opened her door and was standing face to face with the Sasquatch. After a moment, she said, "He said the camp has been overrun."
Father Ng reacted as if slapped. "Lord have mercy."
"All those people," said Enma. The whole group was silent for several moments.
Cyril broke the silence by saying, "Yorren says he smells more of those things in the area."
"We've got to get moving," said Father Ng.
"Yorren has a special request," said Cyril.
"Bigfoot's making demands now?" asked Hewlett.
"He'd just like to ride in the turret thingy. What would that be called, shotgun?" asked Cyril.
"Uh yeah, sure," responded Father Ng.
Moments later, Yorren climbed up onto the top of the vehicle. Cyril got back into the vehicle and Father Ng started it up. Cyril relayed Yorren's directions and they were off. The whole way to the forest, Yorren was waving his arm in the air like a cowboy in a rodeo.
