At the corner of a street, the Griffins and Joe are near a corpse. There are forensics surrounding the area searching for evidence. Joe is talking to the family explaining what's happening.
"Here is our victim and the forensics are searching the place for any clues from pieces of clothing to bullet casings. My job is to patrol the place to see anything suspicious and preventing people from interfering the investigation."
"Who's the victim?" asked Brian.
"His name is Jim Aisle. He has a family of three who also bought the farm."
"Do you have any leads?" asked Lois.
"The husband didn't kill the family, they were murdered before he was."
"Hey Joe, do we get see the dead body?" asked Chris.
"Sure, but you need protective clothing before you could touch it."
Peter puts on some latex gloves and walks over to the body. "I'm way ahead of you."
"Hey Peter, citizens aren't suppose to..."
"Hey Joe. You should check this out."
Griffins and Joe walk to Peter near the body. He's holding a wallet, he takes out a photo of the family with a Yorkshire Terrier next to them.
"Another dog-family murder. That's the forth time this happened," said Joe.
"Oh, I meant referring to that." Peter points to a dead dog skinned near a dumpster bin. They gasp in horror.
"That's gross," revolted Meg
"It looks like last year's Thanksgiving turkey," amazed Chris.
"It looks like the dog in the photo," though Brian.
Peter turns to Joe. "Er Joe, what do you mean by forth time?"
"Families who own a dog have be massacred. The killer left a note on each of the murder scenes. The weird thing is, they seem to be personal, almost and act of vengeance."
"Why would someone be killing families who have a dog if the person doesn't know who if person the killer is looking for dead or alive?" asked Brian.
"I don't know Brian," worried Joe. "But all of you are in danger now that you have a dog. Your going to put in witness protection until the whole thing is solved."
"Aw man, this is one of the worst experiences we ever had?" said Peter.
"It's not that bad," replied Lois. "Remember the time when went to the Rosenearls for dinner?"
Flashback
Peter and Lois drove up to a house and exited their car.
"It was nice of them to invite us for dinner," smiled Lois.
"Your telling me," responded Peter. "I hope they serve caviar. They know how to handle money like any other citizen."
They enter the house only to find the entire dining room in blood. There are corpses sitting in the table with their flesh eaten away. They find a young boy gnarling at a severed arm. He looks at Lois and Peter almost as though he's about to eat them. Lois and Peter are filled with fear on the inside and trying to remain calm by pretending that this isn't happening.
"Want to go out for some hamburgers?" asked Lois.
"OK," said Peter.
They walked slowly out the door, leaving the house.
End of Flashback
The Griffins are at the police station, in the room for a Witness Protection Programme. Joe is in with them handing them information and giving them details.
"Not to worry, we protected people from this kind of danger. You will be protected 24/7 until this whole incident is over," informed Joe.
"You mean we'll have tall guys in black surrounding us?" amazed Stewie.
"We got the best protectors in the precint."
"Oh yeah, I'm so going to enjoy this."
"Wherever you go our men will protect you at all times."
Peter have some doubts. "Come on Joe, that's the lamest load of crap anybody has ever thought of."
"Peter we got a serial killer on the loose and you and your family might be next."
"I know that but I'm not having talls guys invading my privacy."
"I'm afraid there aren't any other options."
Lois leans over to Peter. "Joe's right. We need to be protected. There's no telling who the killer will strike next."
"Lois I have life, you have a life, everybody around me has a life. I'm not gonna have a bunch of security rejects standing by me for any reason."
"Face it dad," said Chris. "We can't afford to lose a person's life at this moment."
"Chris' right," agreed Meg. "If all of us stick together we can accomplice any goal."
"You right," realised Peter.
"Excellent," said Joe. I'll sent in the bodyguards and...."
A cop pops his head into the room via door. "Sir, we got another murder; a family and an dog."
The Griffins were surprised. Peter turns to Joe who's only half-surprised because he knew the killer will strike again. "We could need those bodyguards now," said Peter nervously.
At the griffins residence, there's an ice cream van parked outside, only it's actual a surveillancevan keeping en eye on the place. The Grirffins are inside watching TV. "We now return to Big Brother,"
Cut to TV
"Janice, those clothes were meant to be washed days ago now I got nothing to wear!" shouted a contestant.
"If you haven't slept with Alexander then I would be so grumpy," replied Janice.
Another contestant walks into the kitchen holding a box of washing detergeant. "If anyone needs me I'll be doing the laundry."
Cut to Griffin's house
"Well, I guess we're stuck here for a while," sighed Meg.
"Not necessary,"said Chris. "We can leave the house but we have to use faux IDs just to confuse the family murderer until he's caught."
"He's right," agreed Lois. "We just have make best of the situation."
"You're telling me," smiled Peter. Now that we're under protection, we get free catering."
