Chapter 80: Poll

"That was fun, right?" Renee asked as she lay back down on the soft grass staring up at the fading blue sky.

"Only you would call that fun," Mort sighed as he looked down at the previously bleached beauty whose brown hair was now more visible than the pale blonde she had it colored before. Taking his eyes away from her he looked back towards the crowd of people far away in the fields of grass and said, "For them today was a nerve wracking experience where they were going to lose one of their precious children if we hadn't been in time to save them."

Aksel hadn't been present there right in the front of the group when the 'Gator' as that's what they called the giant Alligator had tried to harm the child. He was therefore unaware of the faces of desperation and fear that the people and the child's parents must have shown but he could imagine it and he felt pity for these people.
