[QUOTE="talien, post: 4780650, member: 3285"] [b]Wild Hunt: Part 2 – Having a Ball[/b] The next morning, Hammer and Jim-Bean visited the second crime scene. It occurred in an alley two blocks away from the first murder. Police tape cordoned off the area. Inside was another taped outline of the victim. Hammer looked around. “Coast clear. Do your thing.” Jim-Bean nodded and kneeled down. He put one hand within the tape outline. And he was back. “Well?” asked Hammer, staring at him curiously. “This…this thing. It reminds me of those dogs that attacked you.” “PROJECT RELISH,” said Hammer. “Anything useful from that vision?” asked Hammer. “Not unless you count a bouncing basketball,” said Jim-Bean. “I got a good look at the thing though.

One dog, maybe. But not a whole pack—“ Jim-Bean ducked into a small church overlooking the parks in the middle of the north side of the Hob’s Court, The Church of the Savior. Hammer muttered an oath and then caught himself as he entered the church. He hadn’t been to church in awhile. He looked around. Jim-Bean was sitting at a pew, apparently in prayer. It was a tiny church, nondescript except for a sparkling fountain to one side. Hammer joined Jim-Bean on the pew. “What are you doing?” “Praying,” said Jim-Bean. “Since when?” “You got a better idea?” Jim-Bean closed his eyes and resumed his meditation. Hammer sighed and then joined Jim-Bean in prayer. He eventually felt a presence at his shoulder. Hammer fought the urge to draw his pistols. A Greek Orthodox priest, complete with black garb and long beard, smiled benevolently down at them. “It is good to see you gentlemen,” he said in a thick accent. Hammer nodded politely. “You are the government men searching for the vampire, yes?” Jim-Bean cracked open one eyelid to look at the priest. “Vampire?” “Yes.
