Epilogue
It was about dinner time when I got home again so, not
surprisingly, Will was there.
"Hey, you're just in time. We're making sautéed
chicken." Francie greeted.
"It smells great, Fran. Is there anything I can
help with?" I asked.
"You can chop some tomatoes,"
"Okay," I said grabbing the tomatoes and a
knife and taking them over to the cutting board. Will was sitting on the other
side of the counter reading a newspaper.
"You seem to be in a good mood. Did your trip go
okay?" He asked.
"Yeah it was fine," I answered.
"So did you have a good time shopping?"
Francie cut in.
'Well actually I didn't make it to the mall, but it's
okay because I had a nice time making out with my handler instead.' Of course I
didn't say that part out loud.
"Yeah, I found some really cute stuff. Maybe we can
go together sometime next week," I suggested, then explained, "My
boss gave me the next two weeks off."
"Well it's about time!" Francie exclaimed
grinning widely
"Yep," I agreed as I gathered up the tomatoes
and dumped them into the pan of chicken. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Will
staring at me suspiciously. I could tell he was wondering if there was more to
my 'trip' than I had said.
"Buddy, if you only knew!" I thought to
myself.
Just as Francie and I were setting the table to get
ready to eat Will let out a loud snicker.
"I swear to god! They fire me for being a heroine
addict, but they'll print stupid tabloid crap like this?" he laughed.
"Like what?" I asked curiously and came over
to read the article he was speaking of.
"Wolf-Woman" in Los Angeles?
There have been many sightings of the so-called
wolf-woman in the surrounding suburbs of Los
Angeles within the past week.
Residents have described a human like creature, displaying the behavior of an
animal. Witness accounts of the appearance of the wolf-woman are vague and
inconsistent. Some reports have the wolf-woman wearing clothing while others do
not, and estimates about height and weight have been difficult for
investigators to obtain. However, a few details remain consistent in the
sightings. The wolf-woman is described as having brown hair, and being of
Caucasian race.
Many are skeptical about the credibility of the
sightings of the wolf-woman. Rodney Clayton of the National Park Service
suggests the possibility that witnesses have been seeing 'a cougar or mountain
lion that has wondered down from the mountains.' Police investigators also
pointed out that animal like behavior is a symptom of severe autism. However,
no clinics in the area have reported any missing patients. The local police and
the Wildlife Fish and Game have both conducted investigations, but in spite of
numerous reported sightings, no one has found any solid evidence of the
wolf-woman's existence.
As I read to the bottom of the article two words echoed
in my mind, "Oh hell."
