As I entered the grocery store, I hear what sound like a can being kicked. Moving forward slowly, I look closely to see a young girl who's packing cans of food into her backpack. She looks up and sees me and pulls out a pistol and aims at me.
"Put your hands up and walk forward slowly!" She says, threateningly.
"Alright calm down no need to point that at me I'm friendly and mean no harm." I say trying clam her down so I don't get shot. She lowes her gun and holsters it.
"Sorry I'm a bit on edge after a large patrol went by and looked in here. I thought I was done for sure but I'm still here so I guess not." She says
"I know exactly how you feel. Sorry for sneaking up on you like that." I say.
"So what exactly are you doing here anyways?"
She asks.
"I came to gather food and supplies but I See it already been collected so I guess keep moving until I find some more." I say. I look at her suspiciously. How did she get past the patrol with out some sort of camouflage or smell reducer. The lycothans have a strong sense of smell and pick up a scent from a distance. Those only one explanation. She's not human.
"How exactly did the lycothans not pick up your scent?" I ask with a hint of suspicion.
"Well with all of the food in here and the dumpster outside it was pretty easy." She says.
I don't buy it. Even with all the smells tey can still pick up your scent.
"That's hardly true. You're not human are you?"
I ask crudely.
"Damn you picked up fast human. Now what are you gonna do about it?"
(What are you gonna do about it?)
