[QUOTE="talien, post: 4102741, member: 3285"] [b]Puppet Shows and Shadow Plays: Part 2c – The Begay Ranch[/b] Soon a swarm of police personnel were on the Begay ranch with a bulldozer. The agents were huddled around in a circle, all except for Blade, who stood off to the side with Colorados. “Forensics found multiple needle-like wounds in all the carcasses so far,” said Caprice, shouting over the beeping of the bulldozer backing up. “They pierced the heart and lungs of all the humans the sheep.” “Blowgun darts?” asked Archive. “Don’t think so,” said Caprice. “But there was traces of a tranquilizer evident in all the carcasses’ nervous systems.” “What kind of tranquilizer?” asked Guppy. “Don’t know,” said Caprice. “It’s not anything that exists in nature.” Jim-Bean took a deep breath. “Well gents, I’d say that since this seems like less than your usual serial killer on the loose, who also has a fondness for sheep, we can safely assume that there’s something a bit paranormally off about the whole situation, yes?” “That’s not the only weird thing,” said Blade, interrupting the conversation. They team became silent when they saw Colorados trail behind him within earshot. “Oh?” asked Hammer. “There are coyote tracks everywhere. But they disappear a few hundred yards out.” “I’m sure coyote tracks are everywhere,” said Jim-Bean. “And surely the desert…” “Have we got anything else?” asked Blade quickly. Archive nodded. “I took a look at the satellite images to see if there’s anywhere a predator of this size might hide out. It looks like there’s a cave formation about eight miles from here.” “Caves,” said Jim-Bean. “Great. You know it’s almost nightfall…” “Gear up,” said Blade. “We’re moving out now.” Jim-Bean approached Garrett. “You’re a big tough fellow, right?” Garrett laughed. “Tougher than one of you tea-swillin’ Brits, damn straight.” “I realize that we’re out in the middle of nowhere, but I’m sure a manly man like you has access to a wealth of material, specifically nightvision goggles. We could use a few pairs.” Garrett laughed even harder. “You’re with the Fed, boy! Go buy yourself some with yer fancy pants budget you get from all those drug deals in Columbia.” Jim-Bean rolled his eyes. “Conspiracy theory. Choice.” “Move out,” ordered Blade. Caprice leaned in close to Garrett. “Seriously, we could use any resources you’ve got.” Garrett shook his head. “You think I got those kind of resources?” he whispered. “We’re lucky we can put together candles and a match!” Caprice thanked the big man and left with the rest of the team. That left Colorados and Blade. Colorados crossed his arms. “You knew what those tracks meant,” he said. “Why didn’t you tell them?” Blade shook his head. “Because I don’t think they’d believe Coyote exists. I’m not sure I believe in him myself.” [/QUOTE]
