"Another man dead."
Sally plopped the file down on the table. One of the two women seated at the table reached for it, opening the file and scanned its contents.
"Same as before?" Asked the other woman. The lady with the file nodded.
"Perfectly sane man turns rabid. Goes on a killing spree, then shoots himself in the head." Sally stated grimly.
"What do you want us to do about it?"The woman holding the file questioned.
Sally looked at them both, which was hard, because the room was swathed in darkness, the only light being a tiny candle on the rough wooden table. It didn't help that the two women in front of her were dressed like shadows themselves, to better blend with the darkness.
"I want you to find out why it's happening, who's doing it, and above all, I want you to stop it. Twenty people were killed this time 'round, and I don't want it happening again. Can you help me?"
The two women shared a glance, then nodded.
"We'll do it."
