This choice: CONTINUE STORY | Go Back Chapter 9: WHO IS THAT GIRL? (ID #314426) an addition by: Niki & Prisha ![View browser's Portfolio. [Offline / Private]](http://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/costumicons/ps-icon-regular-10.gif) More by this author Detective Essex: C'mon, Jay, you're not opening up to us. What the hell happened here? I've got a giant woman on the loose and all you can do is shrug your shoulders?
Jay: I swear I don't know how my girlfriend got the way she did. I'm in as much shock as everyone else!
DE: Well, describe for us the details of the events leading up to her growth. Ya know, like an hour, ten minutes before.
Jay: Honestly, it was a typical morning. We got up around 8AM. I slept over and got up to use the bathroom. I come out and I see she's out back there (Jay pointing) swimming in the pool. Then I came out to join her.
DE: Go on. That can't be it.
Jay: That was about it. Well..uh..yah. That's it. We just played around, ya know like men and women do when they're playing around, I guess. Next thing ya know I got you guys on the phone.
DE: This whole thing doesn’t really seem to upset you that much. You do want Darla to be OK, don’t you?
Jay: Of course. I’m completely sickened by the state’s she’s in.
DE: Did she eat anything or touch anything out of the ordinary? I should let you know that it was reported by the military that a cargo plane flying over this general vicinity inadvertently discharged a low volume of hazardous materials. It's not public knowledge, but the FBI is investigating. No one is sure what anyone in contact with it could suffer from, but it’s considered highly dangerous. Now, I'll ask you again, did you or Darla have any contact with any objects that looked suspicious. I’ll find out eventually if you’re lying and you’ll be in some serious shit.
Jay: (lump forming in his throat). I swear I don’t know anymore than I’ve told you.
Detective Essex turns to several police officers standing in Darla’s living room and whispers, “this punk’s lying and I want you guys to prove it. Obtain a search warrant and have this place turned over”

Operator: “What? Can you please be more specific? Is someone hurt?”
Unidentified Female: “Well, she could have stepped on someone. There’s this person, I dunno, she’s huge. She’s just walking in the street. She’s like a hundred feet tall or something….

Grabbing Headlines
Anchor: We have breaking news from our affiliate out of Port Town. In a rather odd development, there has been sighting of an extremely tall woman…well…a giant woman for that matter in the Port Town vicinity. This is not a hoax. We’re not joking, here. Let’s turn to our affiliate reporter, Paige Jinson for more details on this breaking story.
Paige, what is going on here?
Reporter: Well, Brenda, as you can see behind me. I’m standing on the roof a five story building. As you can see behind me, there she is, Darla Patters, 25 year old, has somehow become, simply put, a giant. Authorities are estimating that she’s somewhere between 125 and 150 feet tall. To put that into perspective, the top of her head would reach between 12 and 15 stories. That’s very tall. Quite frankly, no one is sure how she got this way. Ms. Patters is from the Port Estates section of town, well known for its upper middle class residents and she works as a media consultant. She is divorced from a Mr. Ben Rilson, an attorney here in town. That’s as much as we know at this time.
Anchor: Wow! Indeed, she is very tall. I guess I should ask if anyone has gotten hurt? Do they know, for instance, if she will be careful around the population? In fact, why is she even walking around? Seems to me if I’m that tall and at that height very dangerous, I’d stay somewhere more remote. Why head towards the city’s more populated areas, much less during a busy commuting time?
Reporter: Good question. And especially, as you can see in a very, very, skimpy bikini. We don't know if she is perhaps looking for someone or something. We do know that her ex-husband works here downtown, so maybe that has something to do with her being in the wrong place at the wrong time. As far as injuries, we have reports that several motorists have been involved in collisions resulting from, well, how can I say this? Honestly, having a giant woman in your midst is very distracting. Several people have been taken to the hospital. No one it seems has had any direct contact with the giant directly. Our Newscopter (clips shown on the screen) reporters have spotted large footprints along the approximately three mile path she has carved into lawns, streets and sidewalks so far. As you can see there (referring to the video on screen), as she’s making her way, motorists are simply pulling over and fleeing their vehicles on foot. Large impressions, deep imprints appear in the road where you would expect cars to be driving. I'm about a mile from her location, and believe me you can feel the ground runble something like in the movie Jurassic Park. Here, in another part of town, lampposts and mailboxes are a crumpled mess. And to drive home how large a person we're talking about here, a gaping hole...take a look at this Brenda! (screen shows office building with missing windows and people standing inside examining the damage) This woman has managed, with the swipe of her long nails to punch out three windows from this office building. Unfortunately, some people on the ground there on the sidewalk are being tended to by paramedics as a result of the falling glass and debris. Several parked cars appeared to be crushed. Ya know, it doesn’t appear as though she’s intentionally causing damage, but I’d imagine at that size, something as mundane as a misplaced toe can wreak havoc. It’s all a rather surreal.
Anchor: Thank you, Paige. We can only hope Ms. Patters does not have some kind of violent streak in her. Now, we turn to our senior analysts for more discussion on this very, very strange and perplexing story.
