this creature come form?
Uh-huh. And what did you do?
Well, I made a few quick calls. I called the police. I even called my
favorite pet store. Then I called the zoo and they, uh, like "What? How did it get there?" and so on. Then they found out that it had escaped.
And how far is the zoo from here?
It's like just a stone's throw away.
