Beck wakes up to find herself in the arms of a gigantic [[gorilla]]-like animal, which seems to be trying to feed her serviceberries. Beck refuses at first (due to the fact that she can't swallow the amount that is being forced into her mouth), but concedes shortly after realizing that it may be all she will eat for a while. The animal is alerted to the sounds of hunters coming through the woods, and runs off with Beck in its arms. They eventually end up with several other of the creatures, who turn out to be actual sasquatches. At first Beck only sees her abductor's rival and her single offspring, but then later meets the alpha male, who is none too pleased to see her. Nonetheless, she is accepted as one of the group. She even comes up with names for them: the big red one, her abductor, is named Rachel (after the biblical Rachel who was [[Laben]]'s daughter), Leah (after Laben's other daughter), her son Rueben (after Leah's firstborn son), and Jacob (after [[Isaac]]'s son and the husband of the two), the alpha male.

Reed tries to convince the party that it was no bear that did the damage, but most of them refuse to believe and proceed to set out bear stands in an attempt to capture one. Arlen seems to be the only one who will believe Reed, as no bear would have simply picked up a person and carried it. Cap, on the other hand, wishes to find out for himself what it was, and soon has his opportunity as another attack is reported not far away, by a young couple by the name of Ted and Melanie Brooks. Cap takes the saliva and dung samples left by the beast and attempts to get them analyzed at the university that he used to work at as a professor, before being fired because he was repeatedly finding problems with [[theory of evolution|Darwinism]]. The samples do not match any known creature, as they seem to contain the DNA of a chimpanzee, that has been contaminated with human DNA. Soon he meets up with several of his former co-workers, who seem to be trying to cover something up. This becomes apparent when Cap begins investigating the office of his former co-worker, Adam Burkhardt. He finds several jars, with preserved specimens of various mutated animals, none of which have survived.
