The three friends took little time to find their group again and where warmly greeted by Speckman, and the tour went on. They passed by many more rooms, talking about more projects and future ambitious, and many of the students were greatly impressed, but there were some that were busy thinking about other things.

Rick was looking to every side and them at his own hands; he looked guiltier than a bank robber in a police office. Penny was looking at Bernie at every few minutes, worried out of her mind for Bernie had been exposed to a quantity of that mysterious radiation that would kill any living being. She looked at him every few seconds to see if his fur was not starting to fall or if he seemed like he was going to have convulsions and fall to the ground.

Bernie tried to pay attention, but he was having some difficulties.

He felt that strange warming feeling in his body, and there was this strange tingling in his head, Bernie confused it with headache, but he didn’t knew it was much more than that.

In that same moment, many of his nerves were crazy making connections with a lot of more energy than they should have. His cells were working crazy as they processed this energy into them, and spreaded it to each other by osmosis, causing the feeling of heat and tingling that Bernie was feeling.

And after a few minutes, Bernie started to feel slightly dizzy. He tried to shake it off, but his dizziness grew, and when the Tour was almost in the end, Bernie had to support himself against the wall, and he held his head as he groaned

“Bern!” Penny said as she rushed to her brother, and so did Rick. Speckman noticed it, and walked to them as they stood in there “Bernie, are you alright?”

Before he or Penny could say anything, Rick said “HE IS ALRIGHT!” this startled everyone “Of course he is alright! Because nothing happened! Why would he not be alright if nothing happened!? He is perfectly fine because there was no accident and nothing wrong happened! Everything is perfectly alright!” he finished with a smile faker than a piece of glass passing by a diamond.

Penny felt like punching him in the face, and Bernie was just too dizzy to feel anything about the situation. Speckman just looked at him, a bit suspicious, but Penny quickly intermitted “Bernie is just a bit… dizzy.”

“Really? Why?”

This made the friends freeze, Rick seemed in panic as Penny tried to think in an answer, but Bernie answered first “Something I ate, maybe. I’m not sure.”

This answer seemed to be enough, as Speckman said “Oh, okay then, well, if you feel bad, I can drive you back home. I’m sure they won’t mind me taking a while to go home.”

“No, you don’t need.” Said Penny “We are okay.”

“Actually.” Bernie cut out “I think I want to go home.” He said, looking dizzier than before “I don’t feel quite good.”

Penny and Rick looked at him, and Speckman said “Okay then, if you feel bad, I’ll go talk to your supervisor and tell you and Penny are going home earlier because you don’t feel very good. I promise I’ll take just one minute.”

Speckman walked off, and Penny turend back to Bernie “Bern, are you okay!?” she asked urgently, and Bernie supported against the wall as he said “I don’t know, first I was dizzy, and now I’m feeling a bit tired.”

“Are you sick? It was the radiation, wasn’t it!? This is your fault, Rick! We need to tell dad now!”

“Penny.” Bernie said, holding her shoulder as he tried not to go down to his knees “If someone discover that we entered into a place that was forbidden, and that I was exposed to radiation, it will be a problem not only to us, but to dad also. It was HIS lab, and it was his project. He will be in trouble maybe even more than us.”

“But Bernie!” Penny screeched “You are sick after the radiation hit you! You might die!”

“I’m just tired, Penny!” Bernie insisted “I’m sure I’m not going to melt into fluid in a few seconds.” He said, and Rick finally chimed in “And if you did, they could fix you into the labs. I heard they can cure almost anything.”

Penny got ready to deliver a punch on his face, making him yelp and dodge, but Bernie held her arm softly, and was able to make she divorce about it just with a look. She could just drop it and look at the ground.

Speckman came back after a few minutes, and was guided Penny and Bernie to his car as they waved goodbye to Rick, who looked at them, looking worried and guilty.

Speckman drove a black colored car, and was now driving Bernie and Penny back home. Speckman had to keep his attention turned to the road, but was aware enough of his kids in the backseat to see that they both were acting strangely.

Penny didn’t stopped looking at Bernie. She just couldn’t avoid, her brother had been bathed in radiation! She was just looking at him, as she was very worried. It was that ape’s fault for making the challenge, and Rick’s fault for activating the thing, and her fault, for not having stopped him. If something bad happened to Bernie, she was never going to forgive any of them! Nor the ape, nor Rick, and not even herself.

Bernie was yawned as the features of the city passed by them as they drove in the car. Suddenly Bernie was feeling tired, very tired. He could feel his eyes getting wet at he suddenly was feeling like he had run a lot. He looked at the features as his eyes fought to remain open. He was feeling more and more inclined just to lay in the seat and sleep.

Speckman noticed this behavior in his children, and as a caring father, of course he was getting worried by seeing them like that.

Bernie was feeling tired as he looked at the window, the features of the street passing by them as they passed by the places, passing by the blocks, and going in direction to their house. As Bernie saw the buildings and other things pass by them, his eyes seemed to grow heavier and it was becoming harder to keep them open. He was feeling more and more tired, as if he had ben awake for the whole night before.

He wanted to close his eyes and sleep. Just surrender to the sleep and pass all day sleeping in there. But, they would be home soon, he would be able to climb up to his room and lay on his own bed and sleep.

He just needed to remain awake for a few more minutes. Just a while more.

Just a while more…

After a few minutes that to Bernie seemed like an eternity, they finally arrived in front of their home, and Bernie could lazily open the door. He stepped out, and shook his head to remain up and awake, his legs felt weak, and he had to search support in the car not to fall to the ground.

“Bern!” Penny exclaimed and ran to him, to help him get support, what Bernie was very thankful to.

Speckman noticed, and said “Bernie, are you alright?”

“Y-yeah.” Said Bernie “I’m fine, just a bit tired.” But his voice and the way he was acting said that he was not as good as he was trying to pretend. Speckman loopked closely to him, and placed a hand on the dog’s forehead.

“Bernie, you are burning in fever! And you are sweating!” he said as he felt the heat and the sweat cumulating under the dogs fur “Are you sure you don’t want me to take you to the hospital?”

“I’m fine.” Bernie said “I… just need to… rest a bit… in my bed…” Bernie said, those words getting out more sincere than he actually wanted to.

Speckman looked at him “Yeah, I could stay in here…”

“You need to go back to work.” Bernie said “I’m going to be fine.”

Speckman looked at him, and after almost a minute, he said “Okay then, if there is any problem don’t be afraid of calling me. I’ll come right away.” Was what he said, and waved goodbye to them as he drove back to his work.

As soon as his car turned, Bernie turned back, escaping from Penny’s support and rushing back to home. He was feeling so tired, and was also dizzy, it was hard to walk straight. He quickly searched in his pocket for the key, ignoring Penny’s calls. He took a few second to fit the key in the lock and open the door.

As the door swung open, he rushed inside, without looking for anything. He barely saw mom’s note in the table telling she had went to see a friend and that was going back to dinner. Bernie was too focused on getting on his room and crumbling down in the bed.

“Bern!” Penny called, making him turn around to see her. Oh man, he just wanted to let himself fall back and slip in unconsciousness.

“Where are you going?” she asked “We need to call an ambulance! You need someone to examine you!”

“Penny, we already talked.” Bernie said, just wanting to skip the discussion and be able to get onto his bed.

“Bernie! Look at you! You are not ‘okay’! You need a medic!”

“If someone know what happened dad will get in problem!” Bernie said at her “There will be investigations, he might be fired and his project might be canceled! We can’t do that to dad!”

“B-but…” Penny tried, but Bernie said again “I just need to rest a little.” He turned around to walk back to his room, his legs seeming to be made out of concrete “I’ll be brand new once I sleep a bit.”

And with that said, Penny could only see as Bernie climbed the stairs and walked off to his room.

Out of her sight, Bernie could let out a huge breath he had been holding back. Bernie now could feel the sweat cumulating in his eyebrows, and his breath was strong now, as if he was not able to drawn enough oxygen from the air. His vision now was not only blurred, but doubled.

Bernie stumbled across the hallway to the close distance to his room, and finally was able to reach the door.

Bernie almost fell to the floor as he opened the door, breathing heavily as he closed the door behind himself and, unable to hold himself anymore, he finally dropped to the ground, breathing heavily.

He was able to summons some strength into his body, and struggle to get near his bed. He lifted his arm, and grabbed his mattress, only for his arm to fall back and drag the mantress to the ground with him.

Bernie felt tired, felt cold, and felt spent. He barely cared that he was on the ground, he just pulled the mattress over himself, and covered his own body. His doubled vision barely bothering it as it became darker. Bernie finally allowed himself to rest, and fall into a deep and dreamless slumber.

Penny was left in the living room, having just watched Bernie go to his room and hearing him close the door.

Even after what Bernie had just said, Penny still couldn’t fight that feeling inside of her that something just wasn’t right. That something really bad was happening to Bernie, and that she was responsible for it.

Penny had that way of strong and independent girl, but when it came to her family, she was very worried and willing to do anything. She was very caring about Bernie because he was her brother, and she didn’t wanted anything bad to happen to him.

She sighed, as she walked to the couch an sat in it, she turned the tv on, only to try and distract her mind. Cartoons. She was too old for it. Comedy show. She wasn’t in the mood. News. She was too worried to care and to hear about even more tragedies. Documentary about history.

Yeah, it seemed to be the best option about now.

She just laid there, watching the documentary about the events leading to the second world war. Penny just thought that it would distract her mind. But it didn’t quite worked.

Her thoughts were still wondering to Bernie, and the way he went off to his room that quickly. She was still thinking that she would call the medics and have them take Bernie to a check up, even if there was no problem.

But, Bernie was bathed in radiation! How could be nothing wrong? How could he be fine!?! It made no sense at all!

Bernie could be up there throwing up and his fur could be falling off! He needed to be examined! There was no way of someone passing by what he had and don’t be affected in any way!

Penny felt her stomach go wild with these feelings and worries. She laid her had in the couch, and watched at the documentary playing on the tv, on the images of black and white.

She was going to watch for just five more minutes and she was going to Bernie’s room to see what was going on. To see if he really was fine and if he needed anything. If there was anything happening them she was going to call the hospital in the same instant.

Penny just looked at the documentary, barely paying attention to the images or to what the people were talking about.

The events of that day had been tiring to her. All those feelings and worries and all the sudden actions took it’s tool on her, and only now it was catching up. Penny barely even noticed, as she just stared into the tv as her eyes slowly closed.

Penny could just watch without any action as the paramedics took the barrow out of the house. The paramedics seeming oddly calm as they took the patient in such a state.

Penny could barely look at Bernie in that state.

Most of his fur had fallen off, and his bare skin was exposed in the face, his lips were blackened and his eyes were red in color. His face was a picture of pain, and he fought to breathe, as if every breath took all of his strength.

Penny could hear the medics saying “He was exposed to radiation. There is nothing to do for him now.

“Maybe if he had received treatment earlier, maybe he wasn’t like that now.” Said the other “Now there is nothing that can be done.”

Someone crying called Penny’s attention. She turned her head just to see her mother crying in a chair, and her faqther trying to confort her, but he also had tears in his face.
“Mom! Dad!”

Her mother looked at her, her face sadded beyong reason “Penny…” she said “How could you let this happen!?!”

Penny was actionless under her mother’s eyes, she could do nothing at that, she even tried to talk “I-it all happened suddenly!” she tried to say “B-Bernie keep saying he was alright! He said we could get in trouble! That dad could lose his job!”

“It would have been better!” her father shouted, making her jump “I would have found a way of getting out of this! My work wasn’t worth losing Bernie! His safety was the most important! What were you think!?!”

His tone made Penny flinch inside, she saw her father like that in very rare times, and never with her or Bernie. His face was in pain, and he could just lay his head in his wife’s shoulder as she cried in his’.

And there was nothing that Penny could do. It WAS her faul. She let Bernie get in there. She didn’t called help in the same moment. She let Bernie and Rick keep secret about it instead of searching for help. It was her fault, and nothing was going to change that.

“Penny…” someone rasped, and she was forced to look back at Bernie. The dog now was facign her with his reddened eyes, there was blood coming out of them, and of his nose, and of his mouth. He had a hand outstretched in her direction, as if he wanted her to help him, as if she could somehow give him support.

“Penny…” Bernie called again as his hand tried in vain to meet her.

Penny looked at him as it was all her fault, tears streaming down at her face as she could only turn her eyes away and say “Bernie… I’m so sorry!” she started to sob as she could still hear Bernie’s rasped voice called for her

“Penny”

“Penny”

“Penny”

“Penny.”

“Penny?”

Penny was crying silently in there, as she suddenly opened her eyes, and meet her mother looking at her. She was wearing a blue colored shirt and white long skirt, and was carrying a yellow purse in her shoulder.

Penny looked at her mother, who looked worried at her “Mom?”

“You must have fallen asleep while you were watching tv.” She said, the tv that before was working now was turned off. “You were crying, were you having a nightmare?”

Penny looked at her, and could only mumble an answer of “Yes. I guess so.” And then she remembered something and turned to her mother “Didn’t you said you were coming back for dinner?”

“Yeah, and I came, it is nine a.m.”

“What?” Penny said as she jumped and looked at the clock. It was truth. She had blanked out for almost four hours!

BERNIE!

Penny jumped out of the bed, and past by her mother

“Penny?” she asked as her daughter ran in a rush past her and up the stairs.

How could she have slept in such a situation? What had happened to Bernie in these four hours? How was he now?

Penny went up the stairs, almost tripping in her own legs as she did it rushing. She arrived in the door of Bernie’s door, and opened it. Looking around, she saw the empty bed, and a few pillows in the ground.

When she took a better look, she froze as she realize that the mass in the ground were not pillows.

It was Bernie! He was in the ground, curled over himself with the mantress over him, laying in the ground and seeming to be out cold.

“Bernie!” Penny cried out and ran to him. She touched his body and he felt warm, and seemed to be breathing. But this did not diminished her worry. She shook him “Bernie! Bern? Bernie!”

After a few seconds, Bernie groaned, and blinked a few times, before opening his eyes, and raising enough to sit in the ground.

At first he seemed to be confused, and looked around the room before his eyes focused in Penny’s worried face. He blinked a few times, and said “Penny?”

She looked at him and hugged him tight “Oh Bernie.” She said “I’m so happy that you’re alive! I saw you in the ground and I thought…” she trailed off, as she was unable to finish the sentence. She was just too happy to see that Bernie was still breathing, this making her feel more secure.

Bernie was still a bit confused, and could ask her “How long have I slept?”

Penny was still hugging him when she said “Almost four hours. Mom just arrived.”

This surprised Bernie. He didn’t thought he was going to blank out for so long! He must be even more tired than he thought.

After a while, she finally let go of him, and said “Bernie, how are you feeling?”

Bernie took a moment to answer, and taking a look at his own body, and back at Penny, he said “I… feel good.” And he said more “Actually… I feel great! And… hungry.” He admitted.

For a moment, Penny thought that he was kidding, but he pushed the blankets off himself and got up, leaving them into the ground. And he walked to the door out, just walking out and leaving Penny behind, a bit stunned, before she went after him.

“Mom!” Bernie called “Dinner is ready?” he asked loudly as he went down the stairs, his mother was in the living room, and she turned to him.

“Bernie!” said Penny as she went after him

“Bernie, sweetie, are you still with the same clothes of this morning?”

“Yeah, I didn’t had time to change, when the dinner will be ready?” Bernie insisted, surprised in how hungry he actually felt after a long nap like that. Bernie felt like he hadn’t eaten since yesterday.

“Darling, I just arrived.” She said with a smile “Just let me get a bath and then I’ll start to prepare dinner. Oh, and Bernie.” She says, getting the dog’s attention “I wasn’t able to find other meat for you in the market, I only found fish. Guess we will have to ask some food for you since you don’t like it.”

“Oh, okay, could you ask now?” Bernie asked eagerly, what surprised both his mother and sister.

“Bernie, are you okay?” asked Rose, worried about her adopted son, and Bernie quickly said “I’m fine, just feel a bit hungry. If we ask now than when it must arrive in here? I’m starving!” Bernie said.

Rose and Penny shared a look, and Rose said “Well, guess I can call the food now, what about a pizza?”

“Sounds great, could you call then now?” asked Bernie, almost tripping on his words. Both Rose and Penny were surprise, for Bernie normally didn’t acted like that.

“Bernie, what is wrong with you?” asked Rose, and Bernie seemed to take notice, and he said “Sorry. Is just... man, I’m so hungry.” He said, clutching his belly as he spoke. Actually, his belly wasn’t hurting, he just knew he wanted to eat something, and that was how he knew he was hungry. He just felt like he needed to eat something, and as soon as possible.

Rose seemed to get moved by him “Oh, Bernie, I guess you must had a long day. Your father told me that you were not feeling good in the labs. I’ll call dinner for you.” She said, and went for the phone. Bernie was thanks full for this, and Penny, could just look worried at Bernie. First, he was deadly tired, and now, he felt hungry? Just what of earth all that radiation had done to him?

Rose ordered that pizza, extra big, to Bernie’s own request, it was going to take at least twenty-five minutes to arrive. Bernie told he was going to wait, and Rose left with them fifty dollars for payment for the pizza, and went to her room to bath and then she was going to get the dinner ready for the rest of the family.

As soon as she went off, Bernie ran to the kitchen. Penny soon followed him, and got him picking up some apples, in one he had already gave a big bite.

“Bernie!” Penny said, and Bernie turned to her with an innocent look “Mmph?”

“Mom just called Pizza and you’re going to eat?” Penny said, with her hands in her hips “You are so hungry you just can’t wait just a little?”

Bernie chewed the apple that was on his mouth and gulped before speaking “Sorry. I’m starving! I’m just having a quick bit before the pizza arrives.” Bernie said, and ate half of another apple with one bite soon after.

He went to the living room with some apples on his arms and a few bananas. Penny just looked at him as he carried all of that to the room.

They both were in the living room, Bernie had ate all the apples and the babanas in just ten minutes, and he had went back to kitchen to pick more. He made two trips into the kitchen, in the first getting more apples, and in the second he got a cookie package, that he ended rather quickly as they watched tv.

Penny could just look at him as he ate rather quickly, as if he never had seen food before. Bernie was never this hungry before. It had to have something to do with the radiation and all the thing.

Penny had no time to think about it as the front door opened and they heard a voice calling “I’m home.”

It was their father.

“Hi dad!” said Bernie and Penny at the same time, and Speckman returned the compliment, and asked “Bernie, are you feeling better?”

“Yeah, much, just hungry.” Said Bernie to his adopted father “Did you saw someone delivering a pizza in here when you entered?”

Speckman chuckled “Guess not, your mother is there?”

“Taking a bath.” Said Penny “She is going to serve dinner soon.”

Speckman smiled, and left Penny and Bernie into the living room as he went upstairs to meet with his lovely wife. Bernie and Penny stayed into the living room, watching tv, but Bernie was barely paying attention to the program as he said “When the pizza is going to come?”

Penny looked surprised to him “Seriously?” she asked “You are still hungry after eating that much?”

“Yeah.” Bernie nodded absent-minded as he said it “I feel like I could eat a horse… or two.”

Jeff went inside his room, just in time to see his wife finishing wearing her clothing, she was wearing a white colored shirt and skirt, a set that combined with her, and remembered him of just how lucky he was for having her in his life.

He smiled, and walked from behind, until he hugged her, surprising her, but she smiled when she saw his face. He kissed her cheek and she purred in his touch. “Welcome home, darling.” She said to him.

“Is always good to be home after a long day.” He said back to her, and she smiled, and turned around, putting her arms around his neck, and pulling him in for a deep kiss, which he received with happiness and eager.

They shared that kiss for a while, before finally breaking apart and looking lovingly into each other’s eyes.

“I love you.” Said Jefferson, and Rose answered “I love you too.”

He smiled at her, and then, he brought the subject “Is Bernie okay?”

Rose looked at him “He seems to be okay. But he says he is very hungry.”

Jeff looked at her Hungry? “Just how hungry he said he was?” he asked, and she answered “He said he was very hungry, he asked me about dinner before anything else, and he insisted to ask for pizza before I did anything else. He looked to be very hungry.”

Speckman reflected about it “This is strange.” He said, and his wife looked puzzled to him, and he said “This afternoon Bernie was suddenly feeling strange. He was looking very tired, and he was feverish and cold sweating, and he needed support of Penny not to fall.”

Rose listened as he described what had happened to Bernie, and was quite worried for hearing of it. She had received a call from her husband earlier telling that Bernie and Penny had gone earlier home because Bernie was not feeling okay, but she didn’t got details of what exactly was her adopted son feeling. Knowing it more detailed made her know a bit more about Bernie’s conditions, and got more worried.

“And now, he is hungry.” Speckman said “I wonder if those things are related.” He said more to himself, inquisitive as he always was, both as scientist and as father.

“You think that there are anything wrong with Bernie?” Rose asked, and Speckman said “I’m not sure. It could be a lot of things. Maybe a virus or another thing. Maybe it could be just a cold. I’m really not sure.” He looked at his wife “We must keep an eye open, in any case he starts feeling bad.”

Rose nodded, and with that they both separated, Rose saying that she was going to prepare dinner, and Jeff going to the bathroom, and started taking a long bath after a long day at work. It was very good at him to relax in the hot water after a long day such as that.

Rose went down and to the kitchen, and started cooking the fish in the oven. The fish slowly started to cook, letting out some aromatic smoke as it was cooked to perfection. Rose purred as she felt the delicious smell of the fish. But she wasn’t the only one feeling that smell.

At the living room, Bernie felt a smell in the air, that he could not identify, but he knew it was of food. It remembered him of how hungry he was feeling.

“Man, when the pizza will arrive?” Bernie said, more to himself than to Penny, that was right by his side. Penny was about to say something, when the doorbell rang. Bernie then, surprisingly quick, raised from the seat and ran to the door, leaving Penny behind.

Bernie eagerly opened the door, and faced a squirrel delivery boy, who had the pizza box in his hands “Someone asked for an extra big  pepperoni pizza?”

“I did!” Bernie said in a rush as he picked up the pizza and opened the box, just when Penny arrived next to him, and she gave a look in the pizza. It had anchovy.

“Sir, excuse me but we asked without anchovy.” She said to the delivery boy “My brother hates fish, including anchovy, I don’t think he is going to eat…” Penny was taking, but trailed as she looked to Bernie and saw he had just taken a big bite in the pizza and made a delighted face.

“Bernie.” Penny said “It has anchovy! You hate anchovy!”

“I do?” asked Bernie “Well, this one is delicious anyway!” he said as he gave another bite, and brought the whole box to the living room, leaving Penny behind slightly stunned. The Delivery boy’s voice called her back to reality “It is thirty-five dollars and fifty cents.”

Penny turned to him, and offered him the money her mother left for the pizza. She barely noticed when she received the change back. She turned to Bernie, and saw him taking big, happy bites in the pizza, not even caring to have a plate or anything as his hands got stayned, but he didn’t seemed to mind it.

Penny walked close to him, he was eating eagerly, almost voraciously, and she said “Bernie?”

“Hmm?” Bernie turned to her, an innocent look in his face again and his mouth full of pizza and stained into the condiments. Penny asked “Are you sure you are okay?”

Bernie gulped down and said “Yeah, pretty sure. Man, I didn’t knew pizza was so delicious! Is the best I’ve ever eat!” And he took another big bite, ending another piece of pizza and getting another. Penny could only look worried at Bernie, but soon she was called.

“Penny! Jeff! Dinner is ready!”

It was her mother, and Jefferson was already coming down the stairs, wearing long sleeved white T-shirt and long legged blue pants. He walked to the kitchen “It smells delicious!” he said as he walked down, and saw Bernie feasting in the Pizza that was brought to him “See you’re already having your dinner, Bern. I’ll let you eat.” He said, but he noticed that Bernie seemed to be rather voracious on the pizza, but he said nothing about it.

Bernie remained in the living room, savoring his pizza, while the rest of the family reunited into the dinner room, right to the side, and Rose revealed a beautiful and deliciously-smelling piece of salmon. Both Jeff and Penny licked their chops as they felt the delicious smell. Bernie should be the only one in the house that disliked fish.

The family served themselves of pieces of the salmon, being careful to remove the fishbones, as there were a lot of them, and having one in the throat was very uncomfortable. And soon, they were all eating, enjoying the meal.

“Mom, this salmon is great!” said Penny, and her mother thanked the compliment. The salmon was indeed delicious, Rose was very talented with cooking. But even a well cooked and seasoned salmon would not grant Bernie to eat it. The dog really disliked the taste of fish, and hated even more the fishbones, even having to separate them from the fish. Maybe it was because one time he got one stuck on his throat and had to be taken to the hospital because of it.

The family thought it funny after the initial scare had ended, but Bernie was still having a bad experience from that, and told that day that he was refusing to eat fish ever again.

Bernie just stood there, on the living room, watching tv as he ate his pizza, and time went by, as well as the show, Bernie took his hand to the box, only to find that it was empty. He had eaten the whole pizza without even noticing!

Man, just how hungry he actually was?

And the worse: he was still feeling hungry.

Bernie was wondering what he could do now, when his nose got the smell of something. It was something cooked, and it smelled delicious. Sniffing the air and following the smell, Bernie got off the couch and walked to the dinner room.

“This was delicious.” Said Jefferson, as he finished cleaning his mouth with a handkerchief, he and the family had finished their portion of the salmon, and now there was almost 2/3 of it still to be eaten. It was a generous amount of salmon

“Guess we still have it for tomorrow, also.” Said Rose, and she was about to pick it up and take it to the kitchen, when they noticed Bernie, sniffing the air, and walking as guided by the smell, almost like a zombie. He stopped in the table, and his eyes fixated in the salmon.

The family looked at him for a few moments, and then Bernie did something unexpected. He picked a fork, and dove it in the salmon, and took the thing into his mouth. He moaned as he chewed it.

The family just stared at him “Bernie.” Said Jeff “Didn’t you hated fish?”

“I do.” Said Bernie, still chewing, and taking another forkful of the salmon “But this one is really good.” He sais as he chewed it “The best I ever tasted in my life!” And without any warning, Bernie picked up the whole plate with what was left of the salmon, and carried it with him, leaving the family stunned.

Bernie had went straight to the kitchen, and the family, after recovering went after him.

They meet Bernie with the door of the freezer open, and he seemed to be digging at something in there. Bernie was eating the whole salmon, and what was most stunning, he seemed to be swallowing the fishbone and not care about it!

Bernie looked at them, who only stared at him, half stunned, half scared, and he said “The best salmon in the world!” and he kept eating, and he also picked a few more things in the freezer. A can of ham, some grapes, and even some frozen cheeseballs.

He was able to balance it all and passed by his family, saying “Good night.” With his mouth still full of salmon, and passed by them, and seemed to be walking to his bedroom. The family was still stunned as they watched the dog go his way.

“He took the whole salmon.” Said Jefferson

“And the frozen cheeseballs.” Said a stunned Penny

And Rose, finally said “There is something wrong with Bernie.”

The family could agree about this one thing. There was something going on, and while Jeff and Rose could not pinpoint what was it, Penny could tell very well what could have to do with it, but she just couldn’t tell, no matter how much she wanted.

She could just watch as the dog went upstairs with all the food, and eating a thing that, under normal circumstance, he would avoid eating at any cost.

There was something up with Bernie, this was impossible to deny.
