     Slowly, but surely, the Killer Nose clumsily wobbled across the kitchen floor towards Jamison. Instinct told him to climb up on the kitchen sink, but the frantic detective soon realized he was still vulnerable. Jamison pointed his pistol at the Nose hoping to land a fatal bullet. In an instant, the creature reared back on its haunches and spurted out a gargantuan nugget! The immense boogerball shot out of the nasal cannon and enveloped Jamison's entire hand and firearm, rendering them both useless.
