God damn...what the hell was that?  Why are my ears wringing?  That hurt...a little.  Smoke...noise...da hell.  That is the first thing that goes through your head as shake off the rubble and shock.

"WHERE IS HE?"

Darren shakes himself as he gets to his feet.  He looks around, wiggling a finger first in one ear, then in the other to clear the ringing.  Okay.  Where am I, and what the Hell happened?. He thinks to himself.  Whatever it was, he most definitely hadn't been prepared for this.  Noone goes to work thinking something's going to explode.  Or whatever just happened.

The wall of the building is in shambles.  It was one of the walls to the conference building.  It had been a long drive south to the convention center, but Tinley Park seemed nice and this was not expected.  You were simply walking on the sidewalk to the entrance when the wall exploded.  You are not the only person bowled over by this and there are many hurt.

"WHERE IS HE?  I SMELL HIM!!"

The yelling is a large beast of a man (wererat?).  He stands almost seven feet tall, has the beastly look of a half-man/half-rat, and a slight small (you didn't smell it before, but there is a musky smell in the air now).  He is definitely nothing you have ever seen before.

Darren looks around quickly, seeing if there is anyone he can help.  His mind working furiously.  What is that creature?  And who is he looking for?. He thinks to himself.  "How do I get the injured out of here?. As he thinks, and assessed the situation, he quickly dials 911.  He tries to avoid notice as he moves through the dust calculating exist routes, assessing the injured, and helping those who need it most.

You are able to move way and dial the phone as the 'rat-man' is sniffing the air.  "YOU DO NOT MAKE FUN OF RATLIN' AND LEAVE!  YOU ARE SO SMALL AND SMELL SQUISHY!  WHERE  ARE...AHHH...THERE YOU ARE!!"  The rat-man (Ratling?) turns his focus, his nose, to a man raising out of the rubble.

"Son of a bitch." comes from the man getting free of the rubble.

People are leaving the area fast.  There is screaming and yelling.  There are a few people caught in the rubble explosion (it looks like three).  Squealing tires adds to the noise.

"Tinley Park Convention Center, Main Entrance.". He says into the phone, when the 911 operator answers.  "There's been an exsplosion, three people seriously injured.  several others injured as well.  Send police and ambulances.". He continues.  Then says loudly enough for Ratlin to hear clearly "THERE'S A RAMPAGING RAT-MAN THAT SMELLS LIKE A SEWER." . He says, just before he hangs up the phone, and quickly puts it back in his zippered case.
