CHAPTER SIX

'After its transformation, the creature wasted no time in unleashing its newfound power on Robert. It pounced with lightning speed, catching him off guard and leaving him defenseless against the brutal attack. In just a matter of minutes, my husband was left lying in a pool of blood, his body torn and mangled'

Tears streamed down her face as she clutched at her wedding ring, a symbol of the love and commitment that she had shared with her husband. The ring felt small and insignificant in her trembling hand, a stark reminder of the enormity of the loss that she had just experienced.

'I'm sorry about your loss Mrs. Robert' Luke said as he imagined how disheartening it would be if that kind of thing happened to jane. 

As she gazed outside the window, she couldn't help but wonder what other terrors lurked in the shadows, waiting to pounce on its victim. But even as she trembled with fear and uncertainty, she knew that she would never forget the love that she had shared with her husband, even in the face of the most unspeakable horrors.

"At this point, we have to return to the precinct so we can do more research and investigation," Sophia said as she concluded writing in her notebook.

"Thank you so much for your time, ma'am. The information will go a long way in helping us bring down this terrorizing creature."

'Thank you so much for your time ma, the information will go a long way in helping us bring down this terrorizing creature'. 

"As they walked down the hospital hallway, Luke kept pondering what he had just heard.

"How can a human being transform into a ferocious animal? Is it even possible? Could there be a way to identify which person turns into this animal?" He began to feel a sense of fear that led to negative thoughts about subduing the creature.

"I know you're already feeling terrified about the whole half-man, half-wolf thing, but you have to hold yourself together. We will definitely get through this," Sophia reassured him. She was also having the same thoughts, but she tried as much as possible to control her emotions.

They went to the precinct immediately to inform the captain of their recent discovery. 

Sophia and her partner walked into the captain's office, their expressions serious. The captain looked up from his desk and immediately noticed the tension in the room.

"What's the situation?" he asked, his voice steady.

Sophia took a deep breath and began to recount the details of their investigation. "We received a tip from the wife of the first victim about the creature terrorizing Greenwood," she said. "The witness described the creature as a half-man, half-wolf."

The captain leaned forward, his eyes fixed on Sophia. "What did the witness see?" he asked.

"The witness described the creature as big and ferocious, with razor-sharp teeth and claws," the detective replied "She narrated how it transformed from a human being to a wolf up till how it attacked her husband."

The captain nodded thoughtfully. "This is a serious matter," he said. "We need to investigate this further and take all necessary precautions to ensure the safety of the people in the area. I want you and your partner to work together to gather more information and track down this creature."

Sophia and her partner nodded in agreement, knowing that they had a tough task ahead of them. As they left the captain's office, they knew that they needed to be careful and vigilant in their investigation. They were determined to find this creature and put an end to its terrorizing of the countryside.

'But how do we find this creature, like how can we know where its next prey is located so we can at least get a view of what it really looks like?' Luke asked as they made their way to their workspace. 

'To be honest, I don't know how!' she blurted out. She had already started feeling tense and frustrated about the whole issue. 

'I think you need a cup of creamy coffee to cool you down' Luke suggested trying to make her feel less tense. 

"Her smartphone rang immediately; it was her baby sister, Alex, on the line."

"'Hello sis, I just want to inform you I'm 10 minutes away from your doorstep. I hope there is something I can eat once I get there because I am famished,' Alex said with excitement in her voice.

"Wait! Alexa, this is not the right time," Sophia said as she adjusted in her seat.

"I'm already on my way, sis. Let's talk about that later. About what I asked earlier, is there anything at home?"

"Yes, there is. Check the freezer and fix yourself something!" She hung up. Luke had already arrived with two cups of coffee in his hands.

'Who was that boss? Luke asked as he sat down and handed a cup of coffee over to her. 

'It's my baby sis, she called to inform me that she is on her way to my place. Only God knows who broke her heart this time' Sophia sighs as she sips from her cup. 

'Hmm.., what is that supposed to mean?' He chuckled. 

'Yeah, my sister has always been impulsive and takes a lot of risks. She's the kind of person who lives for the thrill of it. She's always been that way, even when we were kids. She'd climb trees that were way too high, or try to skateboard down steep hills. As we got older, her behavior only got more extreme. She's been in and out of different complicated relationships, and she's gotten into some dangerous situations that could have gotten her hurt or worse."

'That sounds really tough' Luke said as he shook his head. 

'It's frustrating, but at the same time, I can't force her to change. All I can do is be there for her and hope that she'll eventually come around but she comes when something is up' Sophia concluded. 

'But did you inform her of the current situation of the city?' 

'She didn't even wait for me to say anything about that. She said we will discuss further at home' She answered. 

'Alright.' Luke glanced at his wristwatch to check what the time was. 'It's already 4:30 PM, where do we start concerning getting hold of the werewolf because we don't know when and where it can strike again?'
