While Ken is taking care of the “Horse”, Dan is sitting in his office in the main house, his phone in hand, “let's see if the vet is available,” he says and dials the number.
After a minute, Dan hears the call being answered, and a female's voice say, “hello, vet clinic sunset. My name is Natasha, how may I help you?”
“Yes, hi,” Dan says, “I was wondering: is the vet in? I have received a Mare for potential breeding today, I was hoping if the vet could come around and examine her?”
“Let me check,” Natasha says, “yes, our vet would be free in two hours, at around 4pm.”
“Great, 4pm works. You have my address and phone number,” Dan says happily, he then ends the call. 'I need to get rid of Ken, I don't want him to know,' he thinks to himself, 'I'll just send him to the store, that is about a hour drive from here, so he'll be gone for at least two hours. More than enough time for the vet to do his thing.'
Meanwhile, Ken is on his way to the main house after locking Jeff in the empty box, the teen has his phone out. “I think I should make it a little more fun,” he says to himself, “Jeff's body is not right, he is to small and he is not walking on all fours. Let's make him the same height as an American Quarter Horse and have him standing on his toes and hands, unable to stand upright.” Ken had downloaded and installed the Chronivac-App and had copied Jeff's scanned file. He opens Jeff's file:
Name: Jeff Davis

Stance: Human
Height: 68.3''
Weight: 134 lbs

He then does the following changes:
Name: Jeff Davis
Age: 16

Race: Caucasian
Stance: Animal
Height: 68''
Weight: 1150 lbs

Ken grins, “Jeff will look so darn rippled,” he says to himself, “the Chronivac will make sure he'll look normal, just like an average Quarter Horse.” The teen hits confirm, and puts the phone in his pocket.
Back at the stables, Jeff leaning against the wall with his back, his arms crossed, “I can't believe I am standing naked in a god darn Horse box,” he grumbles. Suddenly he feels the familiar tingling run through his body, causing him to shiver, “I guess this means my body is about to change,” he says to himself. Jeff then feels the urge to lean forward, he raises his butt slightly into the air, as he is forced to stand on his toes. Jeff groans, the position starting to feel uncomfortable, when the palms of his hands touch the straw covered floor, Jeff lets out a surprised cry and his eyes bulge when he feels his spine crack and pop. Jeff tries to stand back up straight, but finds himself falling back down to all fours, “well, I guess I won't be standing on two legs for a while,” he says. The teen then feels his body growing while at the same time his muscles to the same. His tummy bloats a little, his arms and legs become more muscular, as does his chest. Jeff realizes that now it does not feel uncomfortable anymore, it actually feels strangely natural. The boy senses the change stopping, “I wish I could see myself,” he says. Jeff's body is still human, but he now has the height and weight of an average American Running Quarter Horse.
Meanwhile, Ken has entered the house, “DAD, I'M HERE,” he calls.
“I'M IN MY OFFICE,” Dan calls back.
Ken head up to his father's office, “hey dad,” he says as he enters, “you wanted to see me?”
Dan nods, “yeah,” he says, “I need you to head to the store. We are almost out of food for the Horses.”
“Okay,” Ken says, “can I take your Jeep Gladiator?”
Dan nods, “but be careful,” he says.
“Of course, dad,” Ken replies, he then hurries down the stairs, grabs the keys and is soon driving down the dirt road and in minutes is out of sight.
Dan smiles, “that's sorted,” he says, “now, I hope the vet will show up soon, it's almost 4pm.”
