Things take an unexpected turn for the weasel family and Jeremy reacts to the new situation


Bottled Rage

Where to start with this one? I should probably warn you now its not going to be what you expect. Not this time, sorry.

Well, you see its not gong to be about Jeremy and his path of discovery. It least not his discovery of what PATOMES can do. Not this time, again, sorry.

For those of you still in the auditorium a further warning. Life sometimes sucks. For now, it sucks for Jeremy and his family. When I say that, well, his father had disappeared. Some would say he walked out, but thats extremely unlikely.

Yeah, go ahead, I'll wait as more of you leave. I guess its to be expected.

The police found the family van Jeremy's father had been driving abandoned thirty miles from home. They told the family all the details. The spoke of the signs of struggle, the small holes denoting the use of a shotgun. Not satisfied with imparting those details they continued to explain that there was blood in his vehicle. A lot of blood. Also small bits of body parts, some of which are not really disposable, or easily accessed.

The detectives that stood in the family's living room and broke the news to the new widow actually said "Predation still happens. Sorry ma'am, but there're very few leads to work on."

It probably didn't help that said detectives were a wolf and leopard. And they spoke of such things with the kids listening too. The thoughtless mouth-breathers. Jeremy didn't sleep that night. None of the family did.

With his world turned upside down Jeremy shifted back and forth between his latest two subjects in PATOMES.

Yeah, you guessed right. He'd targeted the wolf and leopard. Infuriated at their indifferent attitude and news that shattered his world he felt capable of subtracting them both to nothing on the spot. The only thing that stopped him was the fact that they were cops. He understood that he and his family would pay for any disappearance of two cops right from their living room.

No, he'd wait. He'd strike at his own time. A time when he and his family would not be in any position to have suspicion thrown their way. He would need to leave no clues for the cops. Much like the predators that had taken his father. He knew how he could leave no trace of his future victims. Now he had the means to be a top predator. But he vowed to himself he would only prey on other predators.

PATOMES had until that night only labeled Jeremy. All the animals, the other kids and even a few adults that he'd targeted where only listed as numbers. He labeled his two new acquaintances.EXTERNAL TARGET : WOLF ONESAVED FOR FUTURE ALTERATION

And the other.EXTERNAL TARGET : LEOPARD ONESAVED FOR FUTURE ALTERATION

He'd get back to them, someday.

For now he had to endure. A thought entered his mind as he lay in his bed staring at the bottom of the top bunk. How far could PATOMES reach? Would he be able to effect the two cops at a distance? He wondered how he could find out just how far PATOMES could reach. He would need a test subject that he knew was going to be a fair distance away at a later time. He thought of different ways of testing his range but nothing really practical was coming to him.

It was some time in the early morning when his brother started moving around the top bunk more than he had been. They'd both tossed and turned all night not able to sleep. Eventually Eric jumped from the top bunk to the floor. Jeremy turned to watch his brother only to see him walk out of the bedroom into the hallway. Jeremy got out of bed and followed him.

He found Eric standing in the living room looking out at the street. Jeremy watched his brother from a few paces behind. Neither moved for several minutes. His mind was on how the world outside the window had changed overnight. He wondered if his brother was feeling the same way he was, experiencing the same fear of strangers he'd never known before. Eric finally turned and saw his brother. "You're not supposed to be up. Go back to bed."

They stood looking at each other for several seconds before Eric walked past. His brother's wet facial fur matched his own. Jeremy heard a muttered "The fuckers" as his brother passed.

With nothing else to do he followed Eric back to the bedroom and climbed back in bed. The next morning eventually came.

Everyone in the family struggled through the day. Their mother was unusually distant to her sons. The entire day dragged on in an endless period of mourning and distraction. Jeremy's mind kept coming back to the two cops and their attitude. Finally, after watching his older brothers Ian and Sam shout at each other without their mother putting an end to it he left the house. He got on his bike and started peddling.

Before he knew it he was miles from home and coming up to an overpass for the interstate. He had simply picked a direction at random but now that he was here he remembered his need to test the range of PATOMES. He stopped at the top of the overpass and watched the vehicles go under him. It didn't take long to know that the trucks would fit his requirements nicely. Watching for a truck driven by either wolf or leopard he soon spotted his prey.

Seeing an overweight wolf in one of the trucks he quickly targeted the driver as he sped toward Jeremy's perch. He was certain he'd tagged the wolf before he passed under his vantage point. Just to be sure he'd acquired his target he added a bit more fat to the trucker. He smiled at the confirmation. He quickly labeled his test subject to easily identify him from the many others he'd already added.

He watched as another truck neared, this one driven by a tiger. Thinking of his bullying neighbors he targeted the tiger as well. Several minutes went by before another suitable driver appeared, this one a leopard. There was a longer pause as drivers of other specie went by. Finally another wolf driver happened by and Jeremy targeted him as well.

He was about to give in and head home when he saw a lion behind the wheel of another semi. Targeting him too Jeremy figured five semi drivers going in random directions would give him a good indication of PATOMES' range.

Turning back for home he left PATOMES open to monitor his five test subjects. He rode down the overpass only to find three older kids waiting for him just past the freeway exit. They stood blocking the sidewalk watching and waiting for him. He'd seen and experienced this before. Slowing to target each of the three he stopped several paces from them.

"Just give us our bike kid." the bear ordered. His voice full of confidant arrogance.

Jeremy waited until there was no traffic and turned onto the street to go around them. He was on his bike and they were on foot so he got around them easily. They of course chased after him. He decided it would be their last mistake. He turned toward a corner convenience and peddled to the back alley where no one could see what would happen. He stopped and waited for the predators to catch up to him.

The cheetah raced up right behind him and pulled him from his bike as he stopped. Shaking Jeremy to keep him off balance the cheetah pushed him up against the back wall of the convenience store. The bear and tiger ran up seconds later. The fat bear was out of breath and furious. He stood right behind the cheetah panting out "You're gonna pay for running from us kid."

Jeremy activated the subtraction program for him a second later. An instant later he triggered it for the cheetah and then the tiger.

The tiger was gleefully picking up Jeremy's bike as the bear stepped up next to the cheetah. A second later the bear was staring Jeremy eye to eye. He was clearly stunned at having lost his eight inch advantage over the weasel. The cheetah too was showing signs of wanting to disengage from the now larger weasel only Jeremy had also taken the opportunity of their struggle to also take hold of the cat.

Jeremy felt his cock surging large in his shorts as the bear's height fell below eye level to him. He changed his grip on the cheetah as the cat's shirt was becoming too large for him. The tiger was behind his bike holding it and staring openmouthed at the scene. He hadn't yet caught on that he too was shrinking, or perhaps he had but just didn't know how to react.

The cheetah started struggling against Jeremy in desperation fighting for his freedom and drawing the other two's attention as they watched and waited for the outcome. It wasn't even a contest with Jeremy's greater strength and new size advantage. Another second and he had the cheetah turned around and gripped by the back of the neck. True to their reputation the cat stopped struggling with Jeremy griping him from the scruff of the neck.

In the few seconds that had gone by during their scuffle the bear and tiger had dropped to chest high to Jeremy. The cheetah was small and light enough for him to hold off the ground.

Looking at the tiger Jeremy promised "Keep my bike up so it doesn't get scratched up and I'll go easy on you."

Looking at the bear he thought the ringleader was going to run, he had that look on his face. "What? Not so confident now?" Jeremy taunted the bear.

The bear chose that moment to run. He didn't get more than two steps before he stumbled over his shorts that had fallen down around his knees. Looking from the bear tangled in his own clothing he saw the tiger was still holding his bike and trembling in fear. He stared at Jeremy, he eyes crotch level to the weasel now. He followed the tiger's gaze down. His cock was pressed down within his shorts showing off his massive size. The tiger appeared mesmerized by Jeremy's size.

Looking down at himself he could see why. He bulged thick against the fabric of his shorts. He used his free hand to adjust his stiffening cock to a more comfortable position. With a sigh of contentment he examined himself in appreciation. His cock spread out to the side of his shorts which pressed it tight against his body and he even began to curve around his hip. He had almost a foot of weasel greatness on proud display. Looking back to the tiger he taunted "That'll be bigger than all of you soon."

True enough the tiger's head was down below the crossbeam of his bike. He was even starting to have trouble keeping the bike standing upright. Checking on the bear Jeremy saw he was fully tangled in his clothes still. His panic was not helping his escape. The cheetah had a panicked look on his face too. He stared at Jeremy, eye level only due to the weasel holding him up so high. His clothes had fallen off of him and lay at Jeremy's feet.

His bike finally toppled over pinning the tiger. The weight of his bike too much for the dwindling cat to handle. Jeremy looked at the cheetah in complete triumph. The cat's body was only as long as Jeremy's forearm. He noticed his forearm was even thicker than the cat's chest from the muscle he'd added to himself.

Jeremy smiled and said "Its fucking predators like you that killed my dad last night. He was my dad and no one knows who killed him. Since the cops have no clue you'll have to be the ones to pay."

The cheetah squeaked "You can't do this. It's wrong."

"I thought that too but the cops said it was predation. By the way they explained it, yeah, I kinda think it is sort of okay if you can get away with it."

He again changed his grip on the cheetah. He had to now that the cat was only six inches long. He looked at the tiger who was now standing in the middle of his bike. It formed a good prison for the other cat. It would take too long for him to climb over or crawl under Jeremy's bike to escape. The bear was out of sight but still visible as his clothes moved from his failed attempt to get out of them. He stepped over to his bike.

He leaned down and picked up the tiger. He was four inches long. Jeremy smirked at the thought. He wasn't even thinking in terms of height for his three attackers now. He moved over to the the bear's clothes. Kicking lightly at the clothes he prodded the bear toward the edge of his own shirt. Shaking his head he transferred the cheetah to the same hand as the tiger. They were both only two inches long and easily small enough for a single paw. He searched through the bear's clothes until he found him.

Now only an inch the bear screamed his terror as Jeremy picked him up between two fingers. Putting him with his friends Jeremy picked up the clothes scattered about the alley. He threw the discarded clothes in a handy trash dumpster. He stood his bike back up and leaned it against his side. Jeremy stared down into his paw.

All three were now only an inch in size and stood on his paw pad with room to spare.EXTERNAL TRANSFER COMLETEACCOUNT BALANCE 76371 UNITS

He made a few more selectionsSAVE CHANGESREADY

He activated the save. Jeremy looked around for something to hold his captives in. He needed time to figure out what to do with them now. He knew only that he wanted to punished them in a way that their size would be a deciding factor. He wanted the safety and privacy of home where he could properly torment them too.

He saw an empty sports drink bottle next to the dumpster. They all fit through the narrow neck of the bottle nicely.

That night the news had nothing about the disappearance of Jeremy's father. There was however a story of the disappearance of three kids that were last seen near a freeway onramp. All available resources were being deployed to solve the case.
