Claude drew in a breath deeply. He had always assumed that the Nazi was dead. But if he now seemed to be in his early 60s, that meant that he aged 5 years in the last 60+. Claude as a Sasquatch could live 200 years, but for a human to be unchanged in 6 decades was unheard of.
What could be keeping him alive. How could be still be around. He would have to be at least 120.
Maggie interupted his train of thought, "He wants the Sumo and wants it bad. He thinks that it is special, that there is some property of it that is near magic. He described it as a portable fountain of youth. Thats why he hired me, to find Sumo. He would place me in places where he deemed it likely to find one. I dont know how he determined them. But they were always misses, well, always misses until he turned up in the airport."
"OK. That expalins why he might want Sumo. But how the h*ll is he still alive."
"I dont know. I have never seen him do anything strange. Except...except..He had this fridge, that he kept refilling. It was always filled with Tomato Juice or V8 in these little beakers. Lately though he hasent been refilling it, and the fridge has just emptied out. Weird right. But one day he left an empty one. I picked it up and smelled it and it smelled like blood. But even if it was blood, that wouldnt make him live so long"
Claude thought for a second and became angry. No, blood could not explain his longetivity. Not human blood. But, maybe, Sasquatch blood could.....
about Sumo
Sumo is Elaine's #1 Marathon Running Fan. Sadly, Elaine lost Sumo somewhere during her work commute from Midtown West to Midtown East. Building security checked for Sumo everywhere, but he was no where to be found. Luckily, Sumo was found by a young British boy vacationing in NY. He took it back to his parents home in Notting Hill, but he himself dropped it while skipping down to the Picadilly line. The Sumo was then found again and put on Ebay...
