A State Trooper directed traffic out of the way of the smoking truck. Several ambulances, fire trucks, police cars, and unmarked government vehicles were scattered along the highway, examining the scene of the accidents. As the scene unfolded, one government agent argued with local authorities over jurisdiction, as the cameras and press filmed the scene.
"The suspect will be escorted by helicopter to a hospital facility," the agent argued.
"Agent Manning!" one reporter called out from the crowd. "Is the FBI sure that the victim in this crash was the serial killer known as the Kennel Cannibal?"
"We are not prepared at the moment to make a positive identification," Manning responded, in his typical whitewash tone. "But I can assure you that the FBI will be working closely with local officials to confirm the identity of the victim, and to deal with the animals associated with this case."
As additional questions poured forth from the crowd, a big truck with ASPCA written boldly on the side pulled up directly behind the wreckage. Two officers in animal control uniforms began to transfer the dogs - both live and the remains of the dead - into the back of the official vehicle. By this time, the remaining few beasts had transformed themselves back into the harmless Xoloitzcuintli. And although the passengers in the cars had no idea of their potential danger, the officers took every precaution to contain the canines before they shape shifted again.
Almost as soon as they had arrived, the BPRD clean up vehicle, disguised as an ASPCA truck, was ready to leave the scene.
Just before the doors to the trucks closed, a large cloaked figure quickly moved into the animal rescue vehicle. No one saw exactly who it was, but it was clearly smoking a cigar.
