Jacinda walked to join Ten looking down into the ditch. Ah shit! A cop lay in there, his head facing the wrong way. Yeah. This was bad alright.
So....shots fired. Someone running from the bench. Man found in a ditch. Which meant the runner wasn't the shooter.
She looked right and left down to see where it led. It wound and wended around a jog so that she couldn't see anything else.
She looked at Ten, thinking. "Who runs toward a gun shot?" There was something going on. She sighed, looking off in the direction they had been headed. Ah well. She dropped, turning so her hands cought the ledge at the last moment to break her fall.
She looked right and left, and then knelt at the body. Pockets looked to have been emptied. Still on squating, she took everything in.
Guy was big. Like one of those small town line backers who missed the glory and power and decided to become one of the local LEOs. Too bad buddy.
She looked at Ten when she joined her. "Even without his gun, this woulda been hard to do." The growth at the bottom of the ditch showed signs of a struggle, but far less than she'd expect. Like seriously.
Her hackles rose. "Yeah....this wasn't human." A feeling of loss came over her. Gah! They were gonna miss Katy tonight. But...maybe she was in town for a few more appearances....
OK girlie. Let's focus. We have a job to do. The loss drifted away.
Well...to be fair, it sort burned away...she loved her a good hunt. And that thrill was starting to rev her engines a little. She smiled at Ten and then looked at the trampled growth in the ditch.
The trail was pretty obvious. She pulled her staves, checked the charge. Her grin was wolfish. "Let's follow."
