While the meeting was still on and everyone was still sharing their ideas and theories. One of the officers yelled "What about werewolves?" From the middle of the crowd of officers in the room and everyone turned their eyes to him."Yes, those attacks look like what werewolves could do. Look at the claw marks, look at the bite on the necks of the victims, if those are not werewolves then, I don't know what it is." Another person said, to support the previous theory."And has it ever occurred to you all that those bite marks might be something else? I know vampires bites on their victims neck, too." Hank countered the theory and idea that it might be werewolves."Well, I know that vampires don't have claws, they'd have gone for the heart and the victims hearts are all intact. Moreover, vampires have kind of been extinct or what should I call it? Like a myth." Another person spoke against Hank in support of the previous theory."Why are you all supporting this theory when it's so unreal

Martinez chuckled, a mischievous glint in his eyes.Tom rolled his eyes, trying not to let his irritation show. Martinez was always pushing his buttons, and today was no different. He knew his colleagues meant well, but sometimes their joking went too far. With a forced smile, he replied, "Lisa is fine, thank you.

"Hey, Tom, speaking of plans, did you talk to Hank about the werewolves' allegations?"Tom's expression grew solemn, memories of his unsettling encounter with the alleged werewolf flashed in his mind. He shook himself out of his re

During the night as Tom was still doing some investigations and findings in his room, everything he came across kept on pointing at werewolves and he had no option than to call Martinez despite it being the middle of the night.He picked up his phone from the table and dialed Martinez's number, but it took more than while dial for Martinez to pick up, but when she finally picked up, her voice made it evident that she had already slept off as she made sounds of yawning and stretching, her voice barely above whisper."I'm so sorry, Martinez for calling you by this time of the day, I just needed someone to share my theory with. I'm still pretty convinced that these attacks are caused by werewolves..." Tom stopped speaking as he wasn't receiving any response from the other end. "Martinez, are you there?"
