The Strangest Instruction He Had Ever Gotten
On getting to the tunnel’s entrance, the security personnel told him he was on his own from here on out. Before leaving, they left him with the only instructions for the job; find the creature, kill it, and bring back what it took.
That, too, was weird. Jerry had never been called to retrieve anything from the creatures it hunted. Not to mention, never had he known any creature to take its prey away alive.
