Alfie looked in his bag for his phone to request a pick-up from one of his buddies. he soon found it, called them and they soon arrived. they distracted the cops, and drove off back to their hideout.
on the drive back, Alfie mulled over the options of the ray gun:
For age: he could regress or progress in age for a disguise. after all; Every burglar needs a disguise.
he then mulled over the size change option of the ray.
Should he zap himself with the gun set to grow, he could grow to the size of a giant, and stomp around. he could smash buildings, cars and trees at the size of a 50 foot giant. Being gigantic would make him unstoppable!
Should he zap himself with the gun set to shrink, he could shrink to small sizes - to doll size, to ant size, and he could make sneaking around a whole lot easier, since no one would notice a small doll-sized burglar. Being tiny would be cool! of course, He always wondered what it'd be like to be extremely tiny. He especially wondered what it would be like to be nearly microscopic.
he could also swap bodies with one of the cops, to see what it was like to be on the other side of the law.
he could become a female woman, or he could gain extra muscle!
once they got to the hideout, Alfie showed them the ray, and they wondered what setting they should test on it first...
