Reborn- His Scarlett Moon

It was clear that the situation was not normal.

“What could have done this kind of damage?”

Sherry wondered in her head, barely able to look at the gore and grime but curious nevertheless,”It looks like a very large canine. Maybe a wolf or a bear?”

She exclaimed after watching the zillion bite marks on the man’s body and chest. He was bit and scratched by what was evidently a wild and rabid beast. A larger member of the family.

“A bear? That’s unlikely.”

Josh walked in from behind.

He was not there when the first batch of Ryan’s men had rushed in.

“But these wounds are deep and vicious. It could only be a bear. A wild dog or even wolves don’t have such strength or… ” Sherry was trying to make a point when Ryan cut her off as usual and jumped right beside her.

“Let’s not jump to conclusions just yet. We need to investigate this further.”

Sherry watched Ryan give Josh a peculiar look and Josh seemed to understand and nod in agreement.

They examined the body more closely. Suddenly Sherry noticed something unusual.

“Look at the marks around the wounds.”

She was touching the corpse, lifting it’s neck and shoulder to demonstrate what she had noticed to the rest of the people. It had so roused her curiously that she had forgotten her fear or tackiness,

” They’re too precise and uniform to be from an animal.”

“What are you saying?”

Chong entered from the back just then.

“I’m saying that these wounds were made by something with not sharp claws and teeth but sharp brain cells along with these. ”

Sherry stood her ground. She might have been a college drop out but she grew up beside a dump yard. She was familiar with canine scavenging and their ways of attack. This time she knew she was not wrong, no matter what Ryan and his men wanted to tell her.

“Like what?”

Chong looked more curious in Sherry’s answer than the sorry state in which stood his own garage.

“I don’t know yet. But we need to find out.”

Sherry concluded with her arms folded in front of her chest.

Ryan seemed oddly disturbed at her confidence.

” I think you should be heading back home Sherry. I’m going to call in some backup and we’ll start combing the area for any signs of a predator.” Then he turned towards Josh and asked,

” Drop her off at my place. ”

And threw his own car keys at him.

“What about the bulldozer? Could it have attracted the animal?”

Sherry seemed oblivious to the order that Ryan had just given out. She insisted on continuing her sharpening of her sleuth skills .

“It’s possible. We’ll have to check it out too. But right now, our main priority is keeping everyone safe . Whoever is behind all these, has knit an intricate web. ”

The tension in the air grew. Everyone knew that they were dealing with something dangerous, something that could strike again at any moment.

Sherry seemed most determined to find out the truth, no matter what the cost.

” Josh, do I need to repeat myself? ”

Ryan asked , narrowing his gaze.

Josh turned to pull Sherry along but she shrugged him off.

” No! I am not leaving. None of you are leaving. Why do I have to leave alone? Whoever did this, look at my lucky socks, lipstick and underwear.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

I am the one at the center of this all it seemed. But I don’t understand how a simple thief could finish off by killing a man?

It’s deeper. Much more deep than it seemed.

It could be with the stuff you keep doing everywhere, but I fail to understand what it has got to do with me? ”

Chong and Ryan exchanged a look.

Then Chong came closer, ” Let me take a good look at your face! ”

He said , closing the gap between himself and Sherry, who was standing beside Ryan.

” Why does your face seem so familiar? ” He asked, scratching his own chin, ” It seems like I have seen you somewhere. It does seem like you belong to the world where I breathe. ”

Sherry stared back at him.

” Did you bring your tools? Can you remove the tracker? So that we can trace it back to the place from where it is being monitored. That will give us a solid lead , out of this mess. ”

Then he paused for a moment, a salient smile crossing his face,

” It seems like somebody heard my prayers. I had been bored for so long. Finally it seems like I have a worthy opponent, who wants to play. ”

” But you should not get so worked up Ryan, ” Chong seemed like he was reprimanding him. ” Seems like your new partner has a head start, he knows about your whereabouts. He knows about your friends and foes. But what you should keep in mind is the timing of this bulldozer incident. He knows your thought process and your next step. This is not a game between equals Ryan, where you don’t even know the person behind all this. You need to rev up your . ”

It seemed like Ryan looked a little offended.

” Josh, help Chong take that tracker out, then trace the place from where they are monitoring our steps.

Chong’s right. We are still lacking distance in this relay marathon race. But once I catch up, it will be a new beginning for those that started this wonderful game.

I will make sure they get plenty of hours to live, begging me endlessly to end their unexplainable suffering. I will rupture their anal pipes and push their hearts out of their throats and make them chew their own shit. ”

He looked high as he played out his perfect revenge, spread onto a platter, in front of his eager audience.
