Before Ben could indulge in his newfound instincts, his ears picked up the sound of footsteps.
Acting on impulse, Ben hauled his muscular, hairy body to the barn loft, he peered out a broken window on the side where the nose was coming from.
Looking out he could see someone leaving one of the adjacent farm cottages he could see the next door neighbour John, probably returning from University.
John would sometimes hang out with Stan and Ben despite him being a couple of years younger but there was no one else in the area to socilaise with. Stan and John had drifted apart with John going off to study and Stan deciding to follow his families tradition, Ben hadn't seen him for a couple of years.
Ben had always played it a bit cool with John as he always got the feeling John had some sort of crush on him and that always made him feel uncomfortable. However those feelings soon vanished when he looked through the kitchen window - he could see that John opened a well stocked fridge as his stomach give a mighty growl. He had to figure out a plan to get something to eat.
