Day 3
"Still no sign of
@blybrook PE", said
@SaltySteve PE as they drove down the highway. Hotel California was playing on the radio tuned to a classic rock station. The dueling two-minute long guitar solo was going on and on as he thought to himself how much time could he possibly have left if he was in fact alive and was captured by who knows what.
"So what's the plan? ", asked
@jean15paul_PE from the back seat.
@SaltySteve PE replied, "
@tj_PE and I will visit the county coroner as our FBI agent cover and take a look at the body. I'll need you all to check out the lore on werewolves to know what you are up against." As they continued driving, the music faded out...
At the hotel, the group used their favorite reference, the internet, to help aid their search. "Get this", said
@structurenole15, "this here says that there are several forms of werewolves and that the more pure blood or natural born werewolves can change at anytime, while werewolves turned from humans can only transform during full moons. They are stronger and faster than humans and in werewolf form have sharp teeth and claws. The best way to kill them is decapitating them." "That's pretty intense!", exclaimed
@JayKay PE as they looked up from the book in
@SaltySteve PE's library of lore. "This one also says they are vulnerable to silver.",
@JayKay PE added.
Meanwhile, at the morgue,
@SaltySteve PE and
@tj_PE went up to the desk and flashed their badges. "We're from the FBI investigating a string of murders and we believe the bear attack victim might be related to our case. Do you mind if we take a look at your report." The desk clerk looked puzzled. "The victim was attacked by a bear, he wasn't murdered. I'm going to need to speak to your supervisor to confirm.", replied the desk clerk. "Certainly", said
@SaltySteve PE as he handed him business card with the phone number to his friend " Special Agent Osborne". After a few minutes of the desk agent on the phone with what sounded like a very irrate man on the phone, he finally said, "I'll get that paperwork for you, just give me a minute to get it." "How did he do that?", asked
@tj_PE. " Lots of practice.", said
@SaltySteve PE, "he's done this many time for
@blybrook PE and I". The desk agent returned with a folder containing the report including several photos. "As I said, the ME ruled it as an animal attack and didn't suspect any foul play.", the desk clerk explained. But
@SaltySteve PE took one look at the photos of the victim and knew they were wrong. The claw marks were much too small and precise to be a bear. Besides, a bear would have ate more than just the heart. They thanked the desk clerk and headed back to the hotel to regroup with the rest of the team.
At the hotel they were looking at Google Earth looking for anything in the area where the victim found. "If it is a werewolf we are looking for, they usually stay off the grid so we are looking for any farms or old structures that might be nearby. " I think I got something here that fits the description", said
@beccabun PE as she zoomed in to see a farm about a 1/2 mile south of the wooded trail. "Well it's a full moon tonight. Let's check it out", said
@SaltySteve PE.
The team loaded up and headed out to the farm. Armed with several machetes, they slowly and quietly made their way to the farm. It appeared to be empty and there was a foreclosure sign at the gate. "This must be the place but where to find them, let's split up.", said,
@SaltySteve PE, "I'll take the barn with my team and
@tj_PE will lead the other team to check out the house."
Team
@SaltySteve PE headed into the barn, which looked abandoned by the previous owners. There were plenty of tools, a tractor, and several stables. Up in the hayloft they noticed a small light . Carefully they climbed up to investigate only to find a sleeping bag set up with a few personal items. It appears that there was in fact someone hiding out there but could not be found.
@beccabun PE was waiting with a few others at the first floor of the barn as there was not enough room for everyone on the hayloft. Just then the barn door swung open and a crazed human-like creature appeared and charged at the group. They all ran out of the way in time behind the stables except
@beccabun PE who was too late and was caught by the werewolf who, with his sharp claws, hacked at them in the neck causing blood to spew out and killing them instantly.
@SaltySteve PE jumped into action from the loft jumping over the railing and in one fell swoop beheaded the werewolf. "There's one thing you can't deny," said
@NikR_PE who was still at the top of the loft, "that man's got style."
@beccabun PE was lynched by the town, they were a regular hunter.
