[QUOTE="talien, post: 4205854, member: 3285"] [b]Skinwalker: Part 4 – Police Station[/b] Colorados stood in the Phoenix police station, sharing the print outs of the fingerprints. “It’s an exact match.” “Whatever it is, it’s dead,” said Hammer, recovered from his wounds with several stitches along his arms and chest. “Nist didn’t have a twin,” said Colorados seriously. “There’s only one way his fingerprints could be on your vehicle when he was dying at the bottom of that chasm.” “Skinwalkers,” said Blade. “Right,” said Colorados. “Since Nist’s body still has its hands, it had to be the skin. Which would take incredible precision.” The whole conversation was making Hammer uncomfortable. “We killed it. Find out who the man was in Blackmoon’s house and you’ll have your murderer.” Then the lights went out. “Hey, hey!” said one of the cops. “Whoa, whoa, whoa!” Colorados picked up the phone. “Hello?” He put it back down. “WE’VE GOT LIGHTS, AND PHONES, OUT UP HERE! CAN SOMEBODY TALK TO ME? What the hell? Have we got emergency lights here or WHAT?” The emergency lights cut on inside the building. Over the intercom, Sinatra’s “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” began playing. “Are you kidding me?” shouted one of the cops. “We don’t have power but they pipe in music? Gimme a break!” Colorados stood up. “All right people, we’re going into a lockdown situation. That means everybody sit tight and don’t move unless someone wearing a badge tells you to.” He turned to the team. “Let’s go, I need to make sure the prisoners are secure.” Colorados led them to the holding cells. “All right, let’s go, gentlemen,” said Colorados. “Get up, show me some skin. You in a coma, buddy? We have a blackout. That means emergency head count. Hey lower bunk. Let me see some skin.” The prisoner gave him the finger. “That is special.” Colorados moved to another cell. “Heads up, heads up. Move it down there. Thank you. Thank you for joining us. Show me some skin, that’s it.” He moved to the next cell. “Heads up, gentlemen…” There was no response. “Gentlemen?” Two prisoners sat in their cell, shaking in fear. One man pointed to the next cell. Colorados walked over. Boots, a hat, a cloak, and other clothing lay carelessly on the ground. Colorados pointed his flashlight in the cell. The Skinwalker and a skinned prisoner were there. “What in the holy hell is that?” shouted Colorados. “Shoot it!” shouted Hammer. He drew his two Glocks. Instead of drawing his weapon, Colorados stepped over to the cell and unlocked the door. “What the hell are you doing?” screamed Hammer. He tackled the sheriff, but not before the cell door was opened. The Skinwalker simply stared at Blade. Slowly, Blade took a step forward. “Blade!” shouted Guppy. “Snap out of it!” Caprice and Archive fired their weapons at the thing, but it didn’t flinch. It just kept staring. Blade stepped inside the cell. Hammer got to his feet and, hurling himself at the cell door, slammed it shut. “What are you doing?” shouted Guppy. “You’ll trap him in there!” “It’s too late for him already,” said Hammer. The Skinwalker walked over to Blade and, clasping him in a twisted lover’s embrace, smothered him with its mouth. They stopped firing, watching in horror as Blade’s eyes rolled in the back of his head and he gagged. There was the sound of something huge squawking and flapping above the cell. Then the ceiling exploded as a huge pair of claws tore through it, grabbing Blade by the shoulders. With another flap of its wings, Blade was lifted into the air. “What the hell was that?” asked Caprice in shock. “A shantak,” said Archive. “Someone summoned it.” “It took him,” Guppy said over and over. “It took him.” “Let’s go!” shouted Hammer. “Anything that large we can track!” He shoved Guppy towards the front entrance.
