“Hey!” Daniel hurried around the edge of the crater to straddle Echo and grab her by the belt loops. He hauled the werewolf back a couple of inches in the dirt. “I’ll get it, alright! Just… wait a minute!” He extended the tire iron in the little alien’s direction and tapped it on the head. “Hey. Buddy. Grab on. You wanna live? That’s it. Grab the fucking stick! ”
He was incredibly aware of how ludicrous things were getting. But if the ooze was the real problem, then denying it a food source was a good idea.
The alien’s spindly fingers did fasten on, and Daniel hauled it out of the ooze and scuttled backwards. He tossed the creature on the ground nearest the werewolf and scrambled to his feet. Because he didn’t know what else to try, he began kicking loose sediment into the hole to cover the plasma. “Tell me that somebody out here is smarter than me!”
