#though to be fair. I’d want a shower too thatchers gross as hell

Gabriel… may have made a horrible mistake.

Resisting the urge to look behind them, they weaved through the trees as inhuman and staticy roars rang from not far enough away to be comfortable.

The lieutenant hadn’t even known that the alternate was in the building they were investigating, only noticing it by the growl that came from it when it saw them. 

Of course, despite their hunt for knowledge on these wretched things, Gabriel knew when they should get the fuck out of a situation. And, as a claw almost snagged onto their hair, this was definitely one of those times.

Looking around frantically, they spotted a ledge they could climb, and they swerved to the right, wincing as the feedback of a radio screeched from behind them. Come on, come on.

Barely stumbling, Gabriel managed to get purchase and climb over the concrete wall, panting with exertion. 

Looking down at the imitation of a once good man, the lieutenant's expression twisted into anger as they watched it claw desperately at the ledge, trying to get a grip and failing miserably with its mangled fingernails.

Its teeth clicked as it screamed random static conversations, and Gabriel froze slightly when they heard their own voice in the cacophony coming from Thatcher Davis’ visage. “̸S̵h̴o̶w̸ ̸y̵o̵u̴r̸s̸e̵l̸f̷.”

Backing away slightly, Gabriel stood for a few seconds in fascination before leaving in the closest direction to the station with an aggravated sigh. They had to report this…

Bringing a hand to their ponytail they grimaced when they remembered that the thing had touched it. Scratch the report for now, they needed a shower.
