Blood Lake: Attack of the Killer Lampreys Page #3

---

sunrise on Lake Charlevoix.

It's like an angel kissed this

little drip of water.

Good morning, Mayor.

Hey.

You must be the guy they sent

from Fish and Wildlife.

I'm Michael Parker, sir.

- Ah, Bruce Akerman-

- Nice to met you.

...but just call me, Mayor.

Ok.

- I only have 3 years more to hear that title.

- Ok.

So, get me up to speed.

The turbines are working.

That's great Rich, but it doesn't

help with the fish problem.

Actually it does, Mayor.

Um, we need the turbines working to keep the

population of Lamprey's under control here,

and to the connecting waterways

to Lake Michigan.

That ain't gonna happen.

This is the best fishing in the

world. Right here on Lake Charlevoix.

Ain't that right, Will?

Yes, sir. The best.

Happen you hear anything about Ted?

No... No.

So, what do you think?

Two days at the most?

Well, It's-It's hard to say

at this point...

Look. I know this is a big

government job...

But I have a town to run...

that loves its summers.

I can't afford any tourists.

This is a small town.

We need all the revenue we can

get.

I understand that Mayor.

All I am saying is that, 2 days -

- might not be enough time to

cull the entire population.

I'll tell you what...

You get this done, in 2 days...

Scratch that...

One day, and I'll treat you and your

family to a fabulous steak dinner at Cobbs.

You'll love it!

Thick, Juicy...

You're not a vegetarian, are

you?

I don't want to offend your...

Western sensibilities...

No I'm not a vegetarian, But the

important issue here...

- I have a town to run!

- OK... great chatting with you.

Do you really think the lampreys

can get into Lake Michigan?

It's possible if we don't get

this population under control.

But that's 20,000 square miles!

That-That's insane, Will.

Yeah. Look, let's get back to base.

We'll talk about this after lunch.

Let's go.

- Ready?

- Yeah.

You're holding it wrong.

I'm like the queen of selfies.

Here you're majesty. Let me do

it.

That's cold. That's cold.

- You're such a jerk!

- Hey hey! That's freezing.

Oh good. It turn out cute

though.

Nicole!

Hey Nicole!

Hey Nicole!

Are you lost, boy?

Or just hungry?

What's your name, boy?

Look at you, scootin' your butt.

I'm gonna call you, Scooter.

Come on boy!

Hey Scooter!

Is that your little brother?

Oh yeah.

Scooter!

Scooter!

He looks happy.

Yeah...

He's kind of a weird kid.

- Really?

- Not like in a bad way or anything, but...

He's just always by himself.

He really looks up to my dad and stuff,

but my dad's like always gone. So...

Doesn't he have any friends?

- No?

- No.

We just moved here.

Scooter!

I'll be his friend.

Really?

Heck yeah.

I need a new fishing buddy.
