having the time of his life. And that said, he decided to go back home. But as he tried to stand, Dr. Greene realized that his head was winding to the point that he almost fell. So he immediately sat down and tried to clear his head for a moment. It appeared as though he discovered that he had way too much to drink.
“I think I had way too much to drink Tori. Can you call the cab for me please?”
“You were already too drunk about an hour ago. I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of stopping you that early. Oh, and I have already called a cab for you. I could have personally driven you home but from the look of things, the night is still young, and I don’t want to have problems with my boss.”
Dr. Greene wasn’t that much of a heavy drinker. And so it explained the main reason as to why he kept off from the bar and even if he had to go, then he always regulated his drinking. But after what he had seen that day, Dr. Greene knew that he needed that drink.

The hangover was finally gone, and Dr. Greene embarked on his experiment, the one that he had been trying too darn hard to avoid. From the look of things, it had seemed as though Tori had managed to bring him back on track.
But even so, it seemed as though he was still too darn scared of the outcome of every single thing. The rodent was still as scary as hell, and the good doctor didn’t know the kind of new adjustments that the rodent might have undergone. For all he cared, the thing could have developed some neurotoxic abilities as suggested by the fangs as well as the scales it had around the mouth and feet.
But what was a scientific mystery as far as this one was concerned was the fact that it was surviving what seemed to be an entirely new atmosphere which meant that there was a possibility that the rodent might have teleported all the way to some different time. But why did it still have claws and all of the other properties that it still had? It was just too darn confusing in the end.
And that was why Dr. Greene decided to make sure that all of the necessary precautions had been taken care of first before any damn thing could be done. He made sure that he had the protective lab coat as well as thick, impenetrable gloves to make sure that Dr. Greene was safe from all of the dangers that the creature might have and that he didn’t get to know all about it.
He made sure that he also was going to examine the rodent in a safe box, a box that he invented where only his hands could go into it. And in the event of any retaliation, all he needed to do was pull his hands out and press the red button. It would most definitely end up in flash burning the creature almost immediately. There was no taking any chances at all, and if that were to be the case, then he was most definitely prepared for it.
Dr. Greene took another look at the animal, and he was surprised by the fact that it was still glancing at him, not moving or eating anything and that was just too darn strange. Whatever the heck happened to that rat? Well, he was the scientist, and it was his job to find out. And so without wasting any more time, Dr. Greene closed his eyes, chanted a short, incoherent prayer right before going straight to work.
Firstly, he tried poking the little animal a little with a spatula, hoping that it was going to retaliate. But nothing came to happen, and this prompted him to prod him once more, then again. The rodent opened its eyes for a moment and then shut it. And whatever he saw made him jerk backward for a time being. The cute black eyes that the rodent once had were now shifted to green and very scary.
And that just brought Dr. Greene back to where he had been in the first place – what the heck happened to that rodent?
He then took the safe box into the scanner and made sure that the animal was all comfortable even in its sleepy state. And then he made a point of turning the scanner on, making sure that the
