Enter Hawk

Perched halfway up a Cypress tree Johnny sat motionless preparing his body & mind for what was coming around the bend. He could see five to ten creatures moving towards him wearing what seemed to be hats made of feathers. As they moved closer LJ could faintly make out what seemed to be the leader. He had met this weird birdman creature before. Johnny sprung from his perch landing in front of the group, causing the man on point to pull his phaser (See Image). "Stand down" yelled the birdman to the soldiers behind him. "Seems you're outnumbered Johnny" he said, to which Johnny replied "Seems you forget how resourceful I am Hawk" as he reached into his pocket & threw a handful of corn to the ground. The bird like men as if on command fell to the ground on all fours and started pecking the ground like chickens. Johnny with both hands on his hips reared back and laughed a hearty laugh, hawk soon joined in after he had his fill of the tasty corn. Shaking LJ's hand, Hawk says, "good to see you old chap, what brings you to the canary islands? Knowing Cypress trees don't grow on the Canary Islands Johnny calmly replied. "Hang it in your ass Hawk and tell me why I'm here before I make a new pair of skydiving boots outta ya". "OK Let's take a walk Johnny, this is private" Hawk said, as he nods towards his men. Johnny knowing exactly what he wanted quickly reached into his rucksack with both hands and tossed more corn to the ground. As the two old friends walked off towards the cave, Johnny whistled a tune as Hawk snapped into a Slim Jim & wondered how he was going to inform Johnny about what lie ahead. EP
