Slime Cat

Chapter 5

"We're running out of food." Riah exclaimed.

"I'll go to the store then." Nick says.

"You sure you don't want to go together?" Riah asks.

"Yeah I'll be fine" Nick replies.

Nick grabs his keys, puts on his coat and shoes, and walks out onto the pavement towards his bike.

Nick arrives and grabs a basket.

'Maybe I'll get some canned goods first' Nick thought

For a while, Nick walks up and down the aisles clearing the list of edible items he needs to buy. He walks to his last aisle for his last item, he once again sees he's item on the top shelf, but this time the item was higher than last time.

"Dammit..." Nick says to himself.

He swings his arms upward trying to reach the item he was looking for, he stops and thinks for a while, then he has a pretty bright idea of hitting the shelf itself, and hope that what he's looking for is the only thing that falls, before he could though, an employee went in and ask if he can help Nick.

"Can i help you sir?" the employee asks.

"Oh thank you!" Nick replies.

The employee began to walk towards the ladder, as he went to get the ladder. the thing that Nick needed fell on Nick's head.

"OW" nick screamed

"Are you ok sir?" the employee replied.

"Yes, oh look i got what i needed, thanks for your help." Nick says.

"You can ask for help anytime" The employee replies.

"Thanks again" Nick says before leaving for the cash register.

Nick gets there surprised by how empty the cash register looks. 'No line!' he thought to himself.

Nick gives his items to the cashier, then the cashier scans his items and puts them into a plastic bag.

"That'll be $20.99." The cashier tells Nick. Nick gives the cashier $30, takes the plastic bags and goes on his way back home.

Once Nick was outside, he was greeted by a man in a black suit.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Sids?" the man asks.

"Yes, can I help you?" Nick replies.

"Hello, I'm here on behalf of the FBI, and I have been interviewing all of the villagers of this small island... Do you have a minute to talk?" The man in black asked

"Yeah sure." Nick replied.

They walk to Nick's motorbike and the man starts asking questions.

"I'm gonna go straight to the point... Something has caught our attention." The man started.

"11:43 PM, A white flash light, seen within a large radius, lots of people reported seeing a big blanket of light blinding them, we were able to trace the light here in this small island." The man added.

"Oh uh... I didn't see anything, I was sleeping at the time" Nick said almost stuttering.

"Hmm, well if you saw or heard anything weird, let me know, have a good day sir" the man said.

"You too." Nick replies.

The man walked away, and Nick sighed in relief. 'Phew, that was close.' He thought.

Nick starts his motorcycle and begins driving back home, not even 10 minutes later, he was already in front of his house, he parks his motorcycle, and walks to his door, opens the door and steps inside, and as he closed the door, he was greeted by Riah.
