"Your time is over, you pink apes, for you see, crocodiles have survived since before the dinosaurs and it is now time for them to survive past you," continued Irwake.

As the room fell silent in horror as they watched Woody's head shrivel to the size of an avocado, Irwake spoke: "Humans, I brought you here to tell you of the coming of the master race of crocodiles, who will rule this planet you call earth."

Woodrow Barnes's head began to shrink and his voice traveled up a few octaves while Irwake looked on and smiled feigning innocence.

Gunter looked at everyone in the bedroom then said "uh to hell with this I'm going back in the closet."

Recovering her wits from this intrusion, Rose wrapped herself in a sheet and arose from the bed, while proclaiming "Dr. Cuttingham, would you please put on some coffee and the rest of you get out of this bedroom while I change."

Woody Barnes (who had been enjoying buckwheat pancakes less than an hour before) came to his senses first, and he bellowed at the chaos around him: "Everyone, SHUT UP, sit down, knock off the damn lightning bolts, put the damn gopher away, get some clothes on, and did I mention SHUT UP?!!"

A black thunder cloud forming over Sugarsmith's head about the size of a sourdough loaf of bread  began striking the detectives head with tiny lightning bolts, and rain, when Irwake, muttered "Lizard breath indeed".

Keeping his eyes on Cuttingham, Gunter reached in his bag asking "you look hungry would you like some gopher?"

Finally getting his pants zipped, Dr. Cuttingham started to stalk toward the recent arrivals.

"Shut it, lizard breath," Sugarsmith said, as he turned his attention to his fiancee, who was wearing nothing more than a guilty expression and a 400-thread count Egyptian cotton bedsheet and looked like she wanted to disappear into the floor boards.

Sugarsmith  frantically dialed the police station as Irwake laughed  and said, "mortal I am in control of your phone."

Just then Gunter came out of the closet and said " Hello every buddy. "

"Sister, what are you doing in bed with a mortal," bellowed Irwake at a confused looking Rose.

Everyone was surprised by the sudden change of venue, but no one (and I mean NO ONE) was more surprised by the sudden appearance of the motley group of reptiles and men than Dr. Cuttingham, who extricated himself from Rose's sleeping embrace, rolled ungracefully out of Rose's bed onto the floor with a thump, and began fumbling around on the floor for his pants.

Sugarsmith accidentally hit speed dial for Rose and suddenly the the the whole freakish crew is standing in Rose's bedroom.

"Because your one ugly mother" said Barns.

"Bow down mortals, I am Irwake father of Crocodiles, hold it a second, why do I have a rack?" stated the creature.
