You don't get paid nearly enough to investigate a murder but you do get paid enough that you'd feel guilty wasting time Fox watching on the clock. Writing off the noise, you try to calm your nerves as you once more return behind the counter. Punching in the info for the hot dog, you ring up the total for the man as he douses his chimera of meat in ketchup.

"So how much longer are they keeping ya here? Seems pretty dangerous being all alone this far from town, especially at night." the man said somewhat ominously as he put his multi-facaded hot dog on the counter and produced his wallet from his back pocket to get you your cash.

You explain you won't be there much longer and make a white lie about your replacement coming soon. Really the next person in wouldn't be for a couple hours but this guy was still giving you some off putting vibes. The man seems to accept this response with a nod before biting into his meal as you count up his change.

"You know." the man starts with a mouth-full of food "you're a pretty bad lia-"

The man spins around, spraying hunks of hot dog around the room as his and your own gaze lock onto the source of the startling noise. One of the windows was completely shattered and whatever had broken through seemed to be scrambling to get to its feet. Wether it was a deer, a bear, (hell even a fox) didn't matter at this moment. What mattered was there was something potentially dangerous in the shop and it was likely getting ready to cause more than a little chaos. Without thinking much you rush for the back room, the only place that might keep whatever animal that still unrecognizable, slightly obscured mass, at bay. 

You were about to slam the door and lock it when your eyes lock on the man. He was still stood there like a deer in the headlights. Your only indication that he was still among the living was his ever tighter clenching fist destroying what was left of his paradise of processed meat. You didn't have much time to decide but thinking about it too long might be the end of you. In yet another split second decision, you snap into action...

- [i][abbr=You can't get a good look at the creature but it looks like it's pretty close to standing up and chances are if you don't shut yourself in now you'll be at the mercy of Cincinnati Zoo reject.]And slam the door shut![/abbr][/i]
- [i][abbr=You're not sure if you're strong enough to yank a full grown man over the the front desk but maybe you could snap him out of it?]And dash from the room, grabbing the man and yanking![/abbr][/i]
- [i][abbr=You really don't want to go out there but you don't want to leave a customer high and dry. This is the best of both worlds right?]And call him over![/abbr][/i]
