Monster Belt - Chapter Two The sun dipped low over the hill, sending its lingering beam through the long village hall windows. In its warm terracotta glow, a mixed group of Crypto zoologists, journalists and local residents crowded inside the old stone building with its wide open doors attempting to catch the breeze. Jess sat on one of the chairs on the back row at the rear of the hall, next to her best friend. 'I can't see,' Claire strained her neck. 'Let's stand over there.' Jess pointed. Giving up their chairs, they leant against the wall near the exit for the toilets. On a platform, at the front of the room, a panel of two sat behind a long desk. 'We've heard it all before,' Jess yawned, looking through the doorway at the freshly cut grass that sloped down to the long line of parked vehicles. 'Don't even think of leaving,' ordered Claire, 'This could be just the place to meet Mr. Right.' Jess mentally whisked through everyone she had ever dated and deduced there was no such thing as Mr. Right.
