Nick was already turning and running toward the cave,
pulling Bryce with him.  It didn't take long and they
were back in the cave and further in where they had
found the others.

"Damn." was all Nick said, seeing the remains of part
of the cave where the thing must have met its end "I
always knew not to mess with Jules but that puts it
into a whole new-"

He stopped, seeing something revealed by a break in
the wall that wouldn't have been seen before the
"blast/death".

A man's body, decomposed but the would-be spitting
image of what the thing had presented itself to them
as when it was immitating Bryce's father.

Nick swallowed hard and moved to the sepilicur (how in
the hell do you spell that word anyway? =P) and picked
it up.

His gaze and tone was sympathetic "We'll come back for
him.  As soon as we drop off the others at the
hospital.  I promise.  Come on."

And with that he left, not knowing what else to really
say.
