Chapter #4A Giant Boy mamed Drew, 10 years old by: Unknown A giant 10 years old boy was camping near by with his dad when he heard some strange noise, like some kind of plane turbines at the other side of the lake. It seem that it landed, but how could it be possible, there is no airport out there. He is very curious and a bit nerdy.
"Hey dad, do you mind I use the motor boat to go on the lake?", he asks
"Yes, but don't forget to take your life jacket! And come back before it get dark!", his dad replies
"Sure dad, see you later!". So he steps in the motor boat and he's on his way to the other side. He don't see much as the sun it too low, which dazzled him a little. But he manages to arrive near the shore. Something attracts his attention at the left, something shinny actually. Directing the boat to the object of his curiosity he finally arrives. The beach is covered with pebbles, so he have to step out and walk in the water to pull the boat further.
In the meanwhile in the Spindrift, the captain Steve Burton is alerted about a moving form detected by the radar. From the range and distance, it appears to be at least 75 feet tall. It's closing to their position. Dan Erickson, the attractive brown co-pilot, Marc Wilson, the hot engineer, and the cute boys Barry Lockridge , the 12 years old orphan and the 11 years old Kevin Andrews are all outside the spaceship to see the surrounding and search for dry wood to set a fire which will spook the wild animals.
The giant young boy notices the shinny red spaceship and he heard some noise, like small cracking branches. He thinks it's maybe some little animals. But he's more interested by the toy he sees, the Spindrift. He wonder who could have leaved it there. Maybe some kind of remote controlled toy someone lost the control of.
"Hello! Anybody around? Is there someone who lost that toy?", he yells out loud.
Dan, Marc, Barry and Kevin all hide behind a bush. In the Spindrift, the captain tells Valery Scott and Betty Hamilton to be quiet. But the four young girls; ten-year-old Julie, eleven-year-old Elizabeth, twelve-year-old Rebbecca, and thirteen-year-old Gina start screaming and crying as they all watch through portholes. They saw the giant boy near by. Lucky for them, the spaceship is soundproof, but Betty Hamilton had to make them calming down and she closes the curtains at all the portholes in hope the huge boy have not notice them.
Kevin seem to have some allergies and he was not able to avoid sneezing. The giant young boy heard it and immediately turned around to see from where it came from. From his height, he have a better surrounding view and he saw something budging behind the little bush. Slowly he approaches and towering the bush he's looking down and sees what looks like 4 tiny persons. They all look up, frozen in terror. The giant have his legs spread both side the bush and he's not sure if they are fancy toys. The view, for the tiny guys is impressive. He wears a beige cargo pants with large pockets, a red ti-shirt and his orange life jacket.
Giggling and without warning, he lays a knee down and grabs Barry and Kevin, one in each hand. The tiny young boys scream, squirm and cry!
"Please let us go giant, we are not toys, we are humans!", they beg
Dan and Marc are in panic mode, they know they are no fit against a so huge boy who seem to enjoys having tiny boys around his age. To their horror, they witness the giant shoving both the boys in his left cargo pocket and button it. Right away, he snatches the two tiny adults. He talks to Dan:
"Oh wow, it's the first time I see tiny toys who can move like you. Also the first time I see one who have a brown skin. I bet there are more like you in your toy spaceship?", he ask very curious
The giant moves his thumb up and down on the toy size adults who seem not be taller than 6 inches. But he promised his dad to be back before dark, so he shoves both of them in his right cargo pocket and and button it too. He also want the toy spaceship. so he squats, lift it and carry it to the motor boat.
Inside the Spindrift, it's shacking a lot and all the passengers have to seat and buckle up their seat-belts. Yeah or coarse, the young girls are screaming and crying again so loud, Steve have to close the cockpit's door because it drives him crazy.
The giant boy have them all and on his way to the other side of the lake where his dad is waiting for him. He'll sure be surprise to see what his son brings with him.
