They did their bit.<br \/>\nLater in the week they had a problem.<br \/>\nThey ran into Pete again at Browlin\u2019s.<br \/>\nA grocery store that was in town.<br \/>\nHad he been following them around?<br \/>\nHe tried to force Raywin to go with him.<br \/>\n\u201cBack off wimps!\u201d He said with a grin.<br \/>\nThe meat locker was nearby.<br \/>\nThe door flew open and smacked the guy.<br \/>\nIt knocked him out. \u201cWhat will we do?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cPut him in the meat locker. Let him cool\u201d<br \/>\nThey dragged him in before anyone saw.<br \/>\nCoz froze him before he could thaw.<br \/>\nOr rather, wake up from the hit by the door.<br \/>\nPete turned a nice blue and no more.<br \/>\nThe girls didn\u2019t see this. They had already left.<br \/>\nWhich was good because the cold caused an effect.<br \/>\nIt seems reptiles can\u2019t take cold very well.<br \/>\nHe was frozen and deader than hell.<br \/>\nBefore he froze solid he became a reptile.<br \/>\nCoz and Tom were shocked at his ugly style.<br \/>\nThey all left and headed for home.<br \/>\nThe girls called them on the phone.<br \/>\n\u201cWhat happened at the store?\u201d<br \/>\nCoz said \u201cSomeone slammed the loading door.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThat caused the door by us to pop open.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cOh.\u201d They said \u201cJust in time to poke him.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cYup.\u201d Said Tom. \u201cGood luck on our part.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cHe deserved it from the start.\u201d<br \/>\nNext day, it was in the news.<br \/>\nA weird reptile creature found all blue.<br \/>\nFrozen solid in the meat locker.<br \/>\nA mystery that was a mind blocker.<br \/>\nAlso it was mentioned the mayor\u2019s son<br \/>\nseemed to be missing after a night of fun.<br \/>\nThe mayor knew the creature was his son.<br \/>\nProblem was he couldn\u2019t tell anyone.<br \/>\nPete had met his waterloo.<br \/>\nThe mayor cussed and called his son a fool.<br \/>\nOnly Coz and Tom knew what happened.<br \/>\nThe door flew open like any metal contraption.<br \/>\nThe magnetic force of Coz was strong.<br \/>\nHe kept quiet, but didn\u2019t feel it was wrong.<br \/>\nKeep reading.
