"What if we got you a wheelchair, you slid your snake tail up and we made it look like you lost your legs." Thought Dale.
"Dale, yiu are supposed to visit your brother here before we come back to New York. What if you stalled him while I check to see if he has any spare wheelchairs."
"Sssso, I should stay here, right?"
"Yes, snake boy."
2 hours later, Joe returned with a wheelchair and rushed Zach. "Go go go! Dale hired a cryptozoologist to capture you. He wants to get rich and you would end up a sideshow act. Come on!"
Zach jumped in as they drove to the airport. "What are they gonna ssssay when they sssee my ssssnake tail?"
Joe drove until he found the AMTRAK station.
Zach woke up one day to see a grinning Joe.
"There is somethin' I wanna tell you"
