Araki Morinaga smirked. "I see that our ace reporter is enjoying herself after all the work that she's put in."
"Ha ha. But just you wait! I'm getting up there, and soon everyone will be watching my face!"
"Too true. Hell, I've even got some intrest from the higher ups about you."
"You have?"
"Yup, and they like you so much that they plan on giving you a story."
Erika straightened up in her seat. "They are? What about?"
"Straight from the top guys. A story from the military."
"They want me to investigate the military?"
"No, it came from the military. You won't be reporting about them. Directly at least."
"What then?"
The editor tossed a folder onto his desk in front of her. "That."
Curious, she picked it up and opened it to look at the contents. She skimmed over the first page and looked up to stare at him. "You're kidding, right?"
"Nope. Got it straight from the military."
"You mean to tell me that he's coming back?!"
"Seems that way."
"But I just put a down payment on a brand new apartment. And if he heads out on the path they've charted, he'll be heading right into that area!"
"Guess you'll need to look for a new place then."
Erika glared at him and then turned back to the paper before her. "Just my damned luck. As soon as I start getting good enough to make the big bucks, that overgrown mutated lizard has to make a comeback!"
"Nobody's going to like this news either, you know."
"Yes, I know! But just once, couldn't that radioactive dinosaur find someplace else to destroy."
"I suppose not. Are you going to take the story?"
"You're enjoying this, aren't you?"
His lip curled a bit. "Maybe."
"Glad someone's happy about this. But now I've got to go and start working on my story so that I can tell thousands of people that they're going to have to run for their lives."
And she got up and left, already preparing how to tell the masses that Godzilla (Gojira) was back and heading straight for them.
