Chad's scaly belly scraped across the locker room floor, as his legs shortened. He could see his snout pushing outward, and feel the razorlike teeth filling his gums. His claws clattered as they hit the hard floor. He froze as he raced by a full length mirror. He didn't even come up to knee high now, but he was a massive alligator, or maybe crocodile? What was the difference again? He wished he had paid better attention in bio class. He was in the toilet stall area, and voices seemed to be approaching. The last stall had a open sewer pipe, Rick had blown it up with an M80 firecracker, and it hadn't been replaced yet. He could smell the water. He looked at the hole, it would be a tight fit. Still he seemed to be getting longer and thinner. So he dove head first down the pipe. His scales and weight seemed to work in his favor. He almost got stuck twice, but the pipe opened into larger pipes, and after some weird turns in the dark, Chad was swimming in a half filled pipe and into the city sewer.
Chad was famished after his adventure of chutes and pipes. He came across a pack of rats, and later an possum. The sewer was surprisingly teeming with good things for gators to eat. It wasn't long before sewer workers spotted the gator gliding through the sewers toward them.
A few days later, the mayor rolled his eyes, "Gators in the sewers? Please, this ain't New York City!"
Meanwhile, the hunt for the missing quarterback began, sort of. He's over 18 said one police officer, the detective commented that he might be back in a few days. They didn't even talk to Rick - yet. He moped in the locker room shaking an empty metal cannister. He muttered, "Who uses the whole can of body spray all at once?" He had wanted lizardman for his own purposes. He'd planned to feed Chad live mice, make videos, and maybe sell him to a carnival sideshow. When he heard the story of the sewer gator, he knew what had happened. He fumbled in his locked, there was an antidote, but he wasn't sure there was enough, and he wasn't sure he wanted Chad back. Maybe give him enough antidote to make him a lizardman? He wondered....
