While this touching scene was going on, the scoutmaster and the teacher for Andy's class were keeping their charges under control, and ro8unding up the ones that were still scattered. The reporter and cameraman, camera wolf actually, had decided to get footage of the creatures that had followed them out of the rift. Close up, it was clear that these were real creatures, not some sort of clever special effect, and the reporter was already mentally accepting the Pulitzer prize (though the US had collapsed and balkanised under the stresses of the plague years, the nation of Sariel, the most cilvilised component had adopted many of it's social elements.)<br/><br/>He was also watching the family group like a hawk. This was too important a story to mess up, so he wasn't about to annoy them by interrupting them while they were being reunited. He had been listening to what they'd been saying, mentally licking his lips at the fact that the fox-boy, Andrew Reynarder, claimed to have recordings of what had happened over there. The kid was certainly right that his story would be worth a mint, and if he played his cards rigtht, Hill Valley Channel 2 News could be in on it.<br/><br/>He'd made a quick call to his boss back at the news room, and had the cameraman send off the footage they already had. After convincing him that it wasn'rt some sort of practical joke, he'd gotten permission to try and set up some sort of deal. He motioned the cameraman to not record his initial approach, and came up to the group, talking to the father first, but not excluding the others from his gaze.<br/><br/>"Hi, I'm Joel Mattews from Channel 2 News. I was hoping to get an initial interview with Andrew Reynarder. I was sent here to cover the service, but it looks like this has turned into a far bigger story... My cameraman recorded the uh... whatever that was appearing, and the things flying out of it, as well as that defence Mr Reynarder and his friend put up. With an initial interview, this could be a massive story."<br/><br/>Andy's father responded. "I've seen your reports. We're still getting over the shock of this ourselves. But if my son feels up to it..."<br/><br/>"It's okay dad, might as well get it over with." Andy shrugged.
