[QUOTE="talien, post: 4203994, member: 3285"] [b]Skinwalker: Part 3 – The Old House[/b] The rest of the drive was uneventful to Blackmoon’s house. It was an old, lonely house with a sunflower spinning wheel. Two cats sat contentedly in a window. Blade knocked on the door. A crazy-looking Navajo woman with wild hair answered. Cats spilled out, meowing loudly, through the opening. “Who are you?” asked the woman. “What do you want?” “Are you Michelle Blackmoon?” asked Blade. The woman squinted her eyes at him. “Who wants to know?” Blade flashed his badge. “We’re federal agents.” “Don’t even start with that zoning crap!” shouted Blackmoon. “You can’t tell me how many cats people can have. I’ll have as many cats as I wanna have!” “We’re not here about the cats, ma’am.” She looked past over his shoulder. “You got anyone else with ya?” Blade turned around. “Was that scarecrow there before?” asked Guppy. “I don’t think so,” said Caprice. “That’s not my scarecrow,” said Blackmoon. The old woman grabbed a shotgun from inside the door and pointed it at Blade’s head. “You’ve got ten seconds to get your ass outta my yard. And don’t think I’m gonna tell ya twice!” “Whoa,” said Blade, putting up his hands. “We just wanted to ask you some questions…” The scarecrow suddenly bounded into action. It pulled a huge scythe out of the fields and effortlessly carried it. It took one, two, three mighty leaps through the uncut grass and then it was on the roof of the house. It barely made a thump. There was a shriek of wood and plaster. Tile fell off the roof. Caprice and Guppy backpedaled to get a better look at it. “It just made a hole into the house!” shouted Caprice. “Go on! Get out!” shouted Blackmoon. “What the hell did you bring into my house?” She slammed the door behind her. Blade slammed his shoulder into the door. She had locked it. They could hear her screaming through the front door. “Oh get outta here!” she shouted at a form at the top of her steps. “GET AWAY FROM MY BABIES YOU SON OF A BITCH! I’LL BLOW YOUR F**KING HEAD OFF!” “Up the side of the house!” shouted Caprice to Guppy. They grabbed a gutter pipe and started climbing. There were two shotgun blasts. Hammer hurled himself through a side window into the foyer. Blade followed suit. Blackmoon was standing at the top of the steps, shotgun held limply in one hand. She gagged and gulped. Behind her was the Skinwalker. Its flesh was pulled tightly over a skull, as if it were the flesh of a smaller man. The lips peeled back in a grin. Blackmoon gagged again. The Skinwalker hurled her down the steps. Blade ducked to the side as the old woman’s body flopped down the steps. Taking the steps three at a time, he buried one of his hatchets in the Skinwalker’s chest. It laughed at him. Grabbing his wrist, the Skinwalker flipped Blade sideways and then kicked him down the steps. Archive dragged Blade’s unconscious body back through the doorway to the front of the house. To give them cover, Hammer fired both Glocks into the thing, emptying the clips. The Skinwalker jerked as the bullets hit, but they had little effect. As it pointed, Hammer’s flesh split open in great rents across his chest and arms, as if he was a stuffed doll who had burst its seams. He fell to the ground screaming. The Skinwalker started making its way down the steps when a series of gunshots interrupted its descent. Its head whipped around… Peering down through the hole in the ceiling, Guppy and Caprice had their weapons trained on it. Caprice emptied his clip into the Skinwalker’s chest, knocking it backwards. It windmilled at the edge of the steps. Guppy fired his laser at its feet. Screeching, the Skinwalker bounced down the steps. It landed on its back. Archive fired his Glock into its forehead. It didn’t get up. Caprice turned to Guppy. “We can cross Blackmoon off as a suspect.” They hopped down into the house and clambered down the steps. Their cistrons beeped. Caprice picked it up. “Hello? Yeah? We’ll be right over.” “What’s up?” asked Archive, tending to Hammer and Blade’s wounds. “Colorados wants to speak with us about fingerprints.” “The ones he found on our van?” asked Archive. “The same,” said Caprice. “They belonged to Virgil Nist.” “Who’s that?” asked Guppy, afraid to ask. “The dead man who you found skinned at the bottom of the hole.” [/QUOTE]
