Night Howl Page #4

---

Come on.

Hey.

Yeah?

[Receptionist]

I'm heading out.

Are you gonna come

back to my place?

Probably not tonight.

I've got a lot of things

going on at the house,

so I'm probably just

gonna head home.

Okay, well, if you

change your mind,

the offer still stands.

All right.

Well if something

changes I'll text you,

call you here in a little bit.

(banging)

What the?

What now?

(dramatic music)

(growling)

(screaming)

(growling)

(screaming)

(groaning)

(roaring)

(heavy breathing)

Kaci?

[Kaci] Yeah, hold on a sec.

(laughing)

And people say

chivalry's dead.

Yeah I just thought

it would be nice.

Well, after a night

like that I'm used

to waking up and

finding the guy MIA.

No, it's fine.

I can't usually pull off a hit

and run in my own place, so.

You're really somethin'

special, you know?

Special, huh?

Don't act like you don't know.

You know, I'm really

glad this happened.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

You don't regret it do you?

No, no, no, I'm

just not usually good

with these type of things.

- Coulda fooled me.

- Yeah?

So, what do you have planned

for the rest of the day?

Um, I think I oughta take a

shower, and that's about it.

Okay, well how

bout you do that,

and then we can get

the f*** outta here

and get our minds

off everything.

Sounds like a plan.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

- You first.

- All right.

I'm gonna go grab my bike.

Oh, no, no, don't worry

about it, I'll drive.

Are you sure?

I really don't want you

goin' outta your way again.

Am I not invited to

stay the night again?

Didn't think

that was the plan.

Come on.

So where are we doing?

We are going to investigate.

Investigate what?

This whole wolf thing.

Wait I thought you

weren't buying into that?

I wasn't, but clearly

there's something going on,

people are going missing.

The police say it's

some sort of dog

and they're doing absolutely

nothing about it, so why not?

Why not?

For one it's dangerous and two,

we don't even know

where to start.

Okay, cemeteries, abandoned

buildings, the woods.

Okay, well you're

not gonna find

the thing roaming around the

woods and I think we only have

like one abandoned

building here in town.

Okay, well let's start there.

Seriously, why

are you doing this?

You said everybody in

this town just remembers

you as the boy who

cried wolf, right?

What if we could change that?

And what if we can't?

I'm just known as crazy again.

Okay, well we just

won't say anything

unless we find proof.

You'll be fine, I promise.

Let's go.

Okay?

Okay.

(light music)

(door creaking)

Any preference

on a flashlight?

I mean, they're all

basically the same, right?

Yeah, I guess.

Oh, should we invest

in some weapons?

I thought we were lookin' to

find the thing, not kill it.

Right, no weapons.

[Kaci] Okay, I

think we're good.

Okay.

Hello.

I assume you're

paying for this?

Yes.

$8.95.

[Ema] Thank you, sir.

(beeping)

- Thanks.

- Thank you, sir.

(crickets chirping)

(doors banging)

You got the stuff?

- Yes.

- Thank you.

So this is the place, huh?

Yup.

Hope you're not

afraid of the dark.

I guess we'll find out.

Come on.

(thudding)

You got it?

[Kaci] Almost.

Huh, taught you well.

Yeah, you first.

Fair enough.

- Holy sh*t.

- Right?

All right, I gotta

confess something.

[Ema] What's that?

[Kaci] I'm a little

afraid of the dark.

Think it might be a little

late for you bringing that up.

I'll be fine, I think.

Okay, so if you

were a big bad wolf,

where would you be hiding?

Oh definitely

here to start with.

Yeah, this place is pretty

f***in' creepy, isn't it?

Right?

What'd it used to be?

Uh, it was a lot of things

over the last few years,

but I think most recently

is a mechanic shop.

Ah, well it smells horrid.

Yeah, something's definitely

f***ing died in here.

Okay, so we got a lot

of ground to cover,

why don't we just split up

and see what we can find?

Sounds like a plan.

If anything happens

just yell for me.

I'll come running.

- All right.

- Okay, I'm gonna go this way.

(dramatic music)

What the f*** is this?

(scraping)

(thudding)

Ema!

Kaci!

Kaci, Kaci, Kaci!

(growling)

(screaming)

(dramatic music)

(thudding)

Help, help!

(smacking)

Ah, help!

(sobbing)

(screaming)

Ma'am?

Ma'am where are you?

(growling)

Freeze!

(gun banging)

F*** me.

[Ema] Don't go near him.

[Officer] It's

okay, I shot him.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Do you mind telling me

what the f*** this thing is?

(growling)

(screaming)

Help me.

Please, don't.

(groaning)

Help me, please!

Ah, please help me!

(gun banging)

[Ema] Wake up, wake up!

Help.

Please, help.

Please.

Please.

Help.

I'm.

Kaci, Kaci, no, no, no, Kaci.

God dammit, no

Kaci, Kaci, please.

Kaci, please, please.

Please Kaci, please.

Please, please, please,

please, please, please, please.

You're Miss Gray, correct?

Yes.

I'm Dr. Mennik, I'm Kaci's

previous psychiatrist.

You're probably wondering

what's going on.

I don't understand.

Kaci suffers from multiple

mental health issues.

He has paranoid schizophrenia

and multiple

personality disorder.

He also suffered

trauma as a child.

He saw his mother being

mauled to death by a wolf.

And he still has

nightmares about that,

and he blacks out.

Sometimes for hours at a time

and he has no idea

what he's been doing.

Are you even allowed

to be telling me this?

Kaci wanted me to

talk to you about this.

He wanted to make

sure you're okay.

I'm fine, I just

don't understand.

He just blacks out

and puts on a costume?

That appears to be

what's been going on,

but I don't know for how long.

And he probably doesn't

know what he's been doing.

So, he's crazy?

Crazy is a harsh word.

Now let's just say

he's wired wrong.

Something like that,

you're born with it.

Now, I assume you know Kaci

to be a sweet, funny

gentleman, correct?

He's the best person I know.

Well, that's the real Kaci.

The man in the suit, isn't.

You have to remember that.

So is he gonna spend the

rest of his life locked away?

He has a good lawyer.

I assume he'll get

off pleading insanity,

but I don't know

what's going to happen.

I'm sorry, this is just a lot.

I can't really come...

I understand.

But if you have anymore

questions, give me a call.

(light music)

I ruined it.

I ruined everything.

Kaci, can you

bring me a trash bag?

Kaci?

Kaci?

Kaci, what's wrong?

Are you okay, honey?

Yeah.

Oh good, now go

get me a trash bag.

Have a nice appointment, man.

(gagging)

(light music)

- Sister, sister.

- Hey, this is a surprise.

What are you doin' here?

What, I can't come

by and fix you dinner?

- Seriously?

- Yes, seriously.

Get up.

Time to rest and relax.

Say no more.

I'll go inside and get

cleaned up a little bit.

So how's the babes?

I know he was

feelin' kinda green.

He's doing a lot better.

Ah it's just God, he's

growing up so fast.

How are you?

[Ema] I'm all right.

Any new guys?

No, no, no, not at all.

It's just been really hard.
