"Crunch crunch" comes the sound of man who was eating a meal, he appeared to be in a rush. He stood beside a table in which had a lot of scattered papers and books, the whole apartment was a mess.

He finally spoke "God Damnit, i am gonna be late." After a long sigh, the man left his breakfast which was a meal of bread and scrambled eggs, packed a bunch of cards which seemingly looked like business cards, the man stands up to his full height, he is about 6 feet tall, brown caramel eyes, a strong chin and a fit body, he was dressed as a typical 1970's private detective.

he was about to rush out of the house, he heard sounds made by a woman on high heels, "damnit" he thought to himself, that's the landlady and I am two weeks behind on rent, the landlady knocked the door really hard and said 'Dickson, you son of a dick" she then gives a small chuckle, apparently, what she said really cracked her up.

Dick moves towards the back window located at the far end of the room, he silently climbed out as he heard the landlady unlocking the door, he gets on the ledge of the building, then jumps down.

"My day is barely beginning and it already sucks" Dick mutters to himself as he starts running away from the spot.

Minutes later, Dick arrives at a building later on, it was a very small one, it only had a window located at one of the sides of the building, based on Dick's external evaluation of the building, it couldn't have more than four rooms, the building appeared burnt especially at the central part of the building, the other parts weren't left out as they were a few burns showing around but the central part had it the worst, also apparently, it was swimming with cops.

Dick had friends amongst the police force, he was a cop years ago but he had gotten tired of all the rules, so he quit, he looked around, when he found a familiar face.

"Tommy boy, that's where you are."

A man of similar height looks over at Dick's direction, a smile curves off his lips and he says

"whatcha doin' there"

"mate, ooh, you know, the usual, doing a few jobs here and there, how about letting an old pal through" Dick says without missing a beat.

"Did Mrs Hudson hire you to do this" Tommy asks

"Yeah" Dick says, "obviously she's scared that the murderer who killed her younger sister is after her too, I tried to dissuade her but I guess man got his limits."

Tommy smiles and says "I am gonna let you in but trust me, you are not gonna believe what you'll find."

Tommy then walks towards the burnt building "I had all my boys leave, I am sure you like that".

He lifts the police barrier which was wrapped around the place, Dick follows him, as Dick was walking along with him, he saw footprints big enough for a big wolf etched on the concrete floor, that wasn't the most amazing thing though, it appeared the wolf stood on his hind limbs as there were no fore limb tracks there.

"Could a wolf have gotten in" Dick thinks as he moves further but that wasn't the biggest surprise yet, he looked at the window, there were signs of something big clearly breaking out as he could see the broken glass and there were no big broken glass shards inside the building.

"You think the Hudsons rear wolfs" Dick says with a lighter expression on his face.

Tommy lets out a chuckle and says "you always got time to kid around, don't ya?"

it's what gets me wild, besides based on what i see, it ain't bad for a theory"

The pair then moves further, there were three bodies on the ground, one was lying in the main room with furniture scattered all over, most of his body was gone except his knee downwards to his feet, Dick sniffs in for a closer look, smells the feet and says

"Yikes, I am sure whatsoever did this to him must have lost his appetite, Jesus, that stinks" Dick finishes his statement by covering his nose.

"Heeey joker" calls Tommy, "when you are done with our Frankenstein over there, you might wanna see this."

Dick leaves the body, moves over to Tommy's location, it was a little girl, she had her head bit off, Dick inspects bite marks most probably a wolf around her necks.

"This is interesting." Dick says as the last body met the same fate, Dick looks over at the third body closely, the body was holding an object in his left hand, Dick bends and sniffs it, "aziroazide azide", Dick thinks.

All the bodies were burnt almost beyond recognition especially the first which only had knees remaining. The last body had the worst fate, it was impossible to tell the gender by mere looking except the first which was just half the legs but Dick speculates these are probably the hudson's kids.

"poor family" Dick thinks to himself.

"So what do ya gat for me" says Tommy smiling, he was expecting Dick to go all sherlock holmes.

Dick then adopts a teacher's look and starts "it wasn't only one of this things that were here, my guess is at least three"

"Why do you say that" Tommy asks looking puzzled.

Dick then points towards the first victim "see the footprints here, it's smaller than the one we saw at the entrance.

"Looks the same to me" Tommy says.

"It ain't, this is about three centimeters wider and two centimeters longer" Dick says still scanning the bodies, "also look at the knee remains, it's almost as if he was chopped off with a long blade"

"That explains the two, how about our third friend" Tommy asks who looked like he was struggling to keep a straight face.

Then Dick says third body "He's holding a container containing aziroazide azide: the source of the explosion, The hudson kids were spotted outside and alive at 10:30pm yesterday by the neighbours and by 10:50, we heard an alarm meaning that whosoever did this were people the kids clearly trusted as they made their way into the living room invited since no sign of forced entry, also, they are the ones who sounded the alarm."

"The kids apparently struggled as we can see burnt crisps of their clothing around the house"Dick says.

Then he points to shoes scattered all over the place.

He goes to the kitchen and continues "Even here was thrashed before the fire as various cutleries are all over the place."

Dick then continued "two of this things couldn't have killed them all in 20 mins and still clamp that substance on the kids hands"

"Are you saying it was forcefully put on him" Tommy asks,

"Yh," Dick says without hesitation "but it appears the third guy is human at least he was throughout his stay here,"

"Why do you say that" asks Tommy who looked intrigued.

Dick then points at the body "other than the burnt spots, no signs of claws, just our regular buddy overpowering another during a fight, also I have a feeling these things can take a smaller form"

Dick points to the door "That had to have a weight of at most 89kg and height of 194 centimetres to go in through these doors without causing a crack in the door but whatsoever can swallow a head whole can't possibly be that small, so our friends are shape-shifters, also that break out wasn't done by any of them."

Dick continues "This is clearly obvious as the shape of the beasts ain't shown and this burnt couch has some tiny glass shards to it, I nearly missed that myself, but I know the smell of tempered glass anywhere and it's strong around that couch, have the ballistics check that out" Dick finishes, pointing to one of the couches.

"That's reasonable" says Tommy stroking his beardless chin.

Then Dick paces," I say one of them walked out of the house carried the couch and brought it back in."

"But why do that" asks Tommy.

"They probably wanna misled the police or something into thinking it was just a mindless beast who got loose or something and has no intelligence but I guess they were real amateurs" Dick ends with a laugh.

Tommy then smiles and said "How much do you get for all this?"

"Better than when I was a cop, I'd be taking my leave now."

"Wait, what do you suppose made these tracks" called Tommy.

Dick then stops at the entrance, looks up and says "I don't know what they are exactly but probably intelligent wolves who can stand on their hind limbs and are capable of changing into smaller forms."

"You suggesting were wolves" asks Tommy with a look of unbelief on his face.

Dick turned back towards Tommy and says "That sounds like a fantastical creature"

"It is, read it up in one of my daughters book" Tommy answers.

Dick smiles, in between his smiles, he says "And they call me the crazy one." He then disappears from the room.

Dick walks very briskly along the pavement about forty metres from the building he just frequently investigated. Apparently, he didn't fill Tommy on all of the details, he knew who overpowered the third victim, about five hours before the incident, he was with the Hudson family, their driver had red hair and so far the only red haired individual known by the Hudson family according to his source was the driver, he had caught a red strand of hair in the crime scene without Tommy his pal watching, now all that was left was to contact his source which was just one the woman who gave him the case.

"Hello, Mrs Hudson" Dick calls as he puts his phone to his ear,

"Dick, you incompetent son of a bitch" was shouted by a feminine voice at the end of the call.

Dick ignores what she said and continued if my intuition is right "you are gonna be attacked tonight, the driver, what's his name, Joan, have you seen him with any new friends lately"

"Hell, if I care" Mrs Hudson screams at the other end of the call "My sister is dead and now, my only kids and you talk there like it's all right, you bastard..."

Dick cut the call, he couldn't stand any more of the nagging "guess I will have to check it out my self, " he thought to himself.

Dick had once encountered Joan at one of the top notch bars in town, he looked at his wristwatch, it was 4:57pm, time had really passed "I hope I meet him at the bar tonight," Dick thought aloud.

"Entrance fee" said a big burly man at the entrance of star sapphires club.

Dick scans through both of them with his eyes and says "look here, you muscled overweights, I am here to interrogate a suspect and if you don't lemme through, more people will die."

Then the other man who was standing alongside the big burly man, he was also muscular but shorter, maybe five feet 10 said "Ooh yh, we got a special price for people like you."

Dick's face lightens up and says "What's that"

"Five dollars" he said without flinching his face.

"Isn't that already the normal price..." Dick was interrupted as the big burly man spoke look here "I have had a long day and don't make my night any worse."

"Fine" Dick said as he left the area, Dick had found some dirt on the shorter guy, he also noticed his clothing was squeezed in some parts and ironed in others.

"This could only mean one thing" Dick thinks "the shorter man had tried to sneak either into or outside the club, the only challenge now was figuring where that place was"

Dick kept moving round till he found something like an outer ventilation shaft.

"Lady luck keeps favoring me Dick smiles to himself as he set the shaft cover down.

He then bends his back and continues to push inside, when he crawled for a while he found another opening,he quickly came over to inspect and saw he was directly above the female restroom.

Dick sees a female, by the way she was constantly moving, she was drunk, Dick then opened the shaft and climbed down, he must have missed a footing or so cause he fell down, THUD!!!!.

Dick picks himself up, then he heard the sounds of females approaching, quickly, he moved to the drunk lady and began to smooch her hungrily, either the lady thought this was her prince charming or she was horny, she kissed back even more intense than necessary.

Two skinny ladies came in,they both let out giggles as they left almost immediately. Dick pushed the woman aside, dusted his clothes and went towards the door.

"Wait" the woman called but Dick paid her no attention, he got into the club, he looked around, people were partying, then his eyes caught something and as fate would have it, he saw Joan dancing with a lady, then he saw Joan whisper something to her ear, she smiled and they both left the area, Dick followed almost at their same pace.

The couple left the club, they apparently got into a blue beetle model vehicle, one of the best cars of that time, Dick tried to shield himself from the bouncers as he left, he hoped he wouldn't be recognised from earlier, He then stops a taxi, a taxi stopped and a man wound down the glass and said where to, just follow that vehicle Dick said as he entered into the vehicle.

The taxi followed the beetle for a while until the beetle stopped at a big house, it looked unkept and really spooky, Dick got down and paid the taxi man, the taxi man bid him farewell and drove off, Dick checked his inner breast pocket, pulled out a pistol and entered the building, he checked the door, it was opened, he moved in stealthy until he heard screams from a feminine voice.

Quickly, Dick rushes into a room where the screams seemed to be coming from, he then sees Joan with fangs hanging from his teeth and a red glint in his eyes and the lady was at his side on a bed with visible horror all over her face, she still looked unharmed as no sign of injury was shown.

"Did you do a make-over, you look uglier than ugly Betty" joked Dick as he fired at Joan.

Joan dodges the bullets like they were nothing, to Dick's dismay, Joan was right in front of him, it was as if Joan teleported.

"What the ... "Joan didn't let him finish that sentence as he punched him across to the other room. Dick then held his tummy, he coughed out blood and thought to himself he had heard tales of creatures like this while he was younger, he had forgotten about them as he thought they were all fiction. Then an idea got into his head.

"He smiles and says Joan "whatsuppin, ain't you a whimpy faggot."

This seemed to enrage Joan as he dashed after Dick, Dick ducked at the last second, rolled on the ground, grabbed his weapon and fired it at Joan's head, it didn't do significant damage but it got Joan more pissed, he then picked up Dick by his sleeves, he says "I never liked you, you shithead."

"That makes two of us" Dick says straining a smile. Joan then threw Dick towards the door, Dick landed outside the building, the door was broken as he had smashed into it. Joan closed the gap which was about six metres in less than a second.

"Any last words" he says looking hungrily at Dick.

"Yeah, see a heart doctor" said Dick as he took a wooden piece of the door and plunged it into the left side of Joan's chest.

"Aaaaarhh" Joan screams bleeding, this was the first time Dick saw him in pains throughout their battle.

Dick felt a sense of accomplishment and says "I heard about a wooden stake to the heart of a certain creature of the night, I guess this had to do, I was baiting you right from when I saw you in the room."

Dick then stops, dusts his clothing and says "What do you want with the Hudson's and where are your other friends."

Joan smiles, with the red glint in his eyes and his fangs showing off, he looked really scary, Dick must be good at acting cause he didn't show fear at least not facially.

"You are an interesting one" Joan started "I should have eliminated you, anyways, I am sure Maxie and Renee will take care of you."

"So those are their names uh, you guys look scary and all but your names sounds like a toddler gave them to you" Dick ends smiling.

Dick then remembers the girl in the room, he quickly rushed in, he then saw her, she was still in the same position he had left her, she was hot, he didn't pay attention to her when he first saw her cause he was bothered with thoughts, she had long blonde hair, brown eyes, a perfect face and a small nose and round lips to compliment, he moved closer to inspect, she also had nice curves.

"You done sight seeing" she says with a serious tone, she looked like she was trying to toughen her facial expression

"Uh uh" started Dick, he usually always had something to say but this was an awkward time, "you know that guy" he finally says.

"No but call me Suzy" she says as she left the bed, she wasn't longer looking terrified as earlier.

"Probably a man admiring her in her undies had gotten her enraged" Dick thought.

Suzy continued "I used to think vampires were myths but who was almost killed today" she says putting on her dress, it was a short red sleeveless dress.

"So that's what they are called" Dick says smiling, she then turned at Dick and said and you are?, "Dick, call me Dick" Dick said looking uneasy.

"You fight these things on a regular" Suzy asks putting on her shoes. Uhh as Dick was about to finish his sentence, he then heard sounds like a wolf howling, "We gotta go" Dick said, "His friends must have arrived."

Suzy smiles "vampires and were wolves don't work together"

"Were what" Dick asks as he grabs Suzy's hand and started off towards the exit.

"Are you kidding me right now or you have no idea what those are?" Suzy asks looking puzzled

"Well, I don't" Dick says as he got outside.

He then looked at the roof, he saw two wolves, they were both really big at least 134 kg and eight feet in height, also they were able to stand on their feet.

"So wolves finally took walking lessons uhn" Dick chuckles aloud, even Suzy smiled at his joke, the wolves then stopped their howling and looked at Suzy and Dick, then at Joan's dead body which was a few metres away, then the two wolves both howled in unison like they wanted to attack.

Dick grabs Suzy, yanks her forcefully in the vehicle "Do you have the key" she asks, Dick enters the vehicle, inserting a key in the ignition and started the engine, while he was battling Joan, he had pickpocketed the key from

"Way ahead of you, dollface."

Dick started the engine and drove as fast as he could, the two wolves followed throwing everything in their path away like a bunch of toys, Dick looked at the mirror, apparently, the wolves would catch up if he didn't go faster, he poured on his speed and drifted into a small alley way just out of reach as one of the wolves had nearly pounced on the vehicle, the wolf then bashed the road, this caused the other wolf to crash into it, this put the two wolves off their speed as they both hit a building fiercely almost in unison.

Then Dick brings his head out of the window, took a material from his pocket, and threw it towards the wolves and said "here, have a smoke" as he brought his head back in and sped out of the area with a large explosion following, BOOM!!!!. if Dick had delayed, he would have been caught in the explosion too.

"What just happened" Suzy asks looking shocked.

"Well, I had some goodies from earlier". Back at a crime scene, Dick had found some of the substance which caused the explosion at the entrance of the building, he scooped some in hopes of narrowing it down.

"It's a flammable substance and while I was driving, I saw a used cigarette in the corner so I threw it at the cigarette and voila" Dick says with a confident grin on his face.

"You are good at this" Suzy says smiling.

Dick then grins his teeth and says "My Dick game is better, love."

Suzy let out a hearty laugh

"ooh really."

Dick woke up, he had a mild headache, he sat up on his bed and tried to recall the events of the previous day, he thought about it and laughed. He was about to discard it from his mind till he saw Suzy sleeping soundly on the other side of the bed, he then realized he wasn't even in his house.

He looked around the room and saw different frames, Suzy alone in one, Suzy with a man, where she was in a wedding gown and the man was wearing a suit and also the man alone in various frames.

Dick got up immediately from the bed and started putting on his clothing, starting with his pants, he knew his luck when he slept with married men, he was usually found out and almost lynched, he had enough escapades in the past to be serious about this. Up so early said Suzy re-adjusting her posture on the bed.

"Yes" Dick hurriedly said still trying to put on his clothing, Suzy then looked towards the frame where she was with a man in wedding attires,

"Dick, could you sit, there's something I have to tell you" Suzy said with a more sober look on her face.

Dick looks towards Suzy's direction "where's your man?"

"Away on a business trip, won't be around for two days."

"Okay fine, guess it won't hurt to have a little chatter" Dick says with a relief on his face.

"It's about yesterday, i was scared shitless" Suzy said regaining her composure, "I don't know what came over me, it was if I was under a spell, when he looked at me, I couldn't control myself, all I just wanted was to please him, i felt like his slave."

"So your Prince charming is a red head who looks like shit" said Dick smiling

"Not funny" Suzy said adopting a more serious tone at Dick.

"You know, you surprise me, for someone who knows little about creatures of the night, you barged into the room and what you said" the expression on Suzy's face softens, as she was about to smile, she quickly changed her facial expression and said "Was that really your first time."

"Yh," Dick said "I was also scared as shit, especially at the strength of that shithead but a man's gotta do what he has to do."

"Yh, speaking about what a man should do, you weren't so bad yourself last night". Suzy says smiling.

" Usually, I have the ladies screaming", Dick smiles, "guess I took alotta damage from last night".

"You know, I still haven't properly thanked you for saving my life" Suzy said leaning in closer towards Dick

"Yh and I haven't thanked you for letting me stay the night" Dick ends with a confident grin on his face. "

"Well, I guess we both even then" Suzy says staring into Dick's eyes.

"Maybe" Dick says. The two stare at each other for a while, Dick then leans in to kiss and just as he was about to...

"Honey, I am home" came a loud voice from downstairs, Suzy quickly changes her composure "Levi, I didn't hear the sound of your car and I thought you were supposed to be at work."

"Yh, but there was a fire outbreak late at night yesterday and i heard about from the radio, also, a vehicle similar to your's was mentioned " Levi says.

"Ooh" Suzy says, then turns towards with Dick with a 'You really had to over-do it' expression on her face, Dick gives her a fake grin. Levi continues, "I am coming upstairs, I hope you are alright, darling."

"Fuck" Dick thinks as he stands up from the bed, he quickly puts on his shoes. Suzy gives Dick a 'Get the hell outta here' expression and says aloud "Honey, I am coming, just getting into new threads."

She then turns towards the door and leaves, Dick looks around the room quickly, he sees a window

"Must I climb through windows everyday of my life" he mutters to himself as he moves briskly towards the window.

In the background, sounds of smooches between Levi and Suzy could be heard, Dick then moves and trips over a vase on one of the table stands of the room, the vase tumbles over, Dick tries to catch it but too late, the vase falls and breaks on the floor.

"What's that?"

"What do you mean?"

"Something broke up there"

"I am sure it's nothing"

"Wait here, dear, lemme check it out"

Dick could clearly hear the conversation, quickly, he carried himself over the window, as he looked down, it was about a 14 feet jump, Dick then decided to rest his hands on the window and stretch his body on the other side in order to limit the distance he had to jump.

"Not my six thousand dollars vase" Levi says, then he looks towards the window, blasted pigeons must have gotten in here and broke my glass" he continued. He then walks towards the window.

''Wait" called Suzy, "I have been naughty and I wanna be punished" she continued with a flirty grin on her face.

Levi turns towards her, his annoyed expression had vanished, he was smiling.

"Let me just shut this window."

Levi says, he then goes there, looks about

"not a bad view" he says as he closes the window.

Dick quickly moves across the street, he had to get to his apartment quickly, Joan knew who he was at least based on the way he spoke, Suzy's husband didn't mention any life casualties meaning it would be safe to assume the two wolves made it out alive.

"Blast it, no wonder they are called were-wolves", Dick thinks to himself.

Also he had figured out the reason for the murders in the Hudson family, while he was investigating the reason behind his client's younger sister, all evidence was pointing to it being suicide and according to Suzy's testimony, Joan had the ability to control minds on a fundamental level meaning he was the cause of the younger sister's murder, at least that's what most likely happened, also, he had figured out the reason for the murders, the husband was most likely the main reason, he must have done something to offend those creatures or they needed something from him and they were either killing his family as revenge or a means to blackmail him. This only meant one thing, Mrs Hudson will be attacked tonight, she was probably supposed to be attacked the day before but his interruption must have delayed that. Now he had to do two things.

Save his client and also read up on these creatures, they had to have weaknesses.

Dick then stops in his tracks, for some reason, these creatures only attacked when it was night, usually it would be the safest bet as it is the best time to commit crime but Joan had always put on lots of clothing in the day time, when Dick had first seen him, he thought he was just a fag who had been traumatized sexually by various guys so he dressed awkwardly cause he was a pathetic victim but maybe it's cause the sunlight affected him negatively, but it couldn't be the light that really affected him, when he had barged into the room where Joan and Suzy where, there was a fluorescent lamp in the room and it was on, wooden stakes could not be their only weakness as Joan could have easily killed him if he wanted so he needed to think of a more instant way of killing these things.

"What's the difference between sunlight and a fluorescent lamp" thought Dick, fluorescent lamps made use of low-pressure mercury-vapor gas discharge lamps that used fluorescence to produce visible light while sunlight was practically caused as a result of spectral irradiance of a blackbody at about 6000 Kelvin. So the only difference was that sunlight was way hotter and possessed ultra violet rays. Ultra violet rays would be the weakness of these creatures at least whatever Joan was supposed to be thought Dick but he didn't have the faintest idea of how to weaponize it and even if he did, he had no tools. Then Dick took a seat on one of the chairs along the road pavements. He realized something again while he was facing Joan, the bullet penetrated his skin meaning their skin wasn't much different from a human's one. He then realized something else, the names Joan called them were names one would give their pet, also they way the wolves chased him, they had acted more on rage than with reason and for Joan to control them, he had to be using something as a leash against them most probably their weakness and it was probably in that building, the mind control didn't feel the same as Suzy's one, Suzy's one occurred when she stared into his eyes and she easily broke out, he was using something more simple for the wolves.

"I have got you now, fucktard" Dick shouted aloud, a woman who was walking her dog and coincidentally was at Dick's range of vision gave Dick a disgusting look and said come on Fifi, she hurried over.

Dick stood up, and tried to settle it but the sounds he kept making looked like he wanted to harass her. Just my luck, Dick thought to himself, he then continued on his way.

Soon Dick arrived at the building where he killed Joan the previous day, it was empty, no one was in sight, he then saw the wooden piece of the door he stabbed Joan yesterday, it was still there except Joan's body wasn't, his clothes were scattered all over the ground.

"Could the cops have come here" Dick thought, upon closer inspection, he realized that there was something like black ashes on the ground, also around the clothes and there was no sign of police intervention, if there was, they would have definitely still be there, Dick then moved towards the clothes.

He caught a whiff of the clothes and he shouted "Jesus, why don't you learn to wash"

"This creatures have no personal hygiene," he muttered.

He was about to leave when his eyes saw something shiny hanging from the pockets of the trouser on the ground, Dick picked it up, it was silver and it seemed to be in the shape of a key.

Dick pocketed it, he then entered the building, as he moved, he then realized how unsafe the place was, he constantly kept fearing the roof will drop and crash on his head, he began to check the rooms one by one. He eventually gave up as he could not find any thing unexpected. Dick then stopped.

He begins to brainstorm "okay, that Joan prick ain't very bright but based on the way he handled me last night, he is the type who loves to toy with his victims, he could have killed me straight up but he took his sweet time, he probably enjoys to torture the women he cavorts with, so its probably in the room i saw him with Suzy yesterday" Dick thinks.

Dick hurries over to the room, he looked everywhere then he saw an old lamp stand at the edge of the corner. He moved closer and realized something, everywhere around the lamp was collecting dust other than a knob close, it looked like it was tampered with frequently. Dick moved and pushed the knob, at the far end of the room, an entrance opened up in the wall.

"Jackpot bitches"

Dick said as he moved towards the opening.

Whosoever constructed this building must have been real geniuses Dick thought, the opening opened up into a bigger space, the space looked like a cave, it had lots of ammunition but something peculiar about it was all the bullets were either silver or a bright-blue substance which Dick couldn't recognise. So this creatures are nerds, that explains the bad odours Dick said joking to himself, he then moved towards the ammunition parchment, he exchanged his pistol with another weapon which was designed like the glock 17, he took different ammunition, he noticed that a safe distance was kept between the silver bullets and the blue coloured substance. Also the silver weapons were fewer and it seemed to have been used frequently.

"So that's your kryptonite" Dick says smiling as he helped himself to packing ammunition.

When he was satisfied with what he had taken, he looked and saw a big sword, it should weigh at least 250 pounds, Dick thought, he looked closer and saw blood around, this must be what cut that child's body Dick said, he then noticed a small opening close to the sword, the opening looked like it was just the right size for the silver key he found outside, Dick then inserts it, he first tried to tilt it left but it wouldn't budge, then he did the other way and he heard a click, he then looked closer and it appeared to be the linings of a typical safe, it was a small safe, Dick opened it,and some paper parchments then fell out, they were letters, he looked at the contents of the letters, apparently Joan was working for someone who kept giving him orders especially on murder missions, also, he probably provided the ammunition and Mr Hudson was their hostage, they were trying to break him. he took up a letter, apparently, he was wrong, Joan was supposed to kill Mrs Hudson but it was not the day before, it was today, she was going to be kidnapped and tortured.
