49 - 7/8 - Sign

"HhhRRRuh!" Rachel trumpeted before she wrapped her trunk around a NO PARKING sign and ripped it from the sidewalk. Held it high. Waited.

Вzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

And the thick steel doors slid open.

(...)

Rachel reared up on her hind legs. Controllers dove for cover.

<NOW!> Jake ordered.

With her massive trunk, Rachel hurled the NO PARKING sign like a javelin toward the open doors.

Pop, Pop.

Sparks flew.

A cloud of smoke puffed out from the open doors. The NO PARKING sign clanked to the floor.

A computerized voice droned through the smoke. "Bio. Filter. Deactivated. Immediate. Shutdown. Immediate. Shutdown."

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. The doors began to slide shut.

<Let's go! In! In! In!>
