In Today's Case: Winter Murder Part 2

Tess and Conan looked over to see that Bill was missing. Tess walked over to Alec since she was the one who yelled Bill. Tess looked at her.

"What happened?" Tess asked. Alec shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't know. I was standing next to Bill one moment and the next he screams and him and Blue are gone." Alec stated. Tess looked back at Conan. He nodded his head. They knew something was going down, but what? Richard walked up to Tess.

"Everyone needs to stay together." Richard stated. Inspector Maguire nodded his head.

"You're right Richard. Everyone into the middle of the room!" Inspector Maguire yelled. Everyone walked into the room. "Okay no one goes anywhere unless they're with someone." He added. Everyone nodded their heads.

An hour goes by and the lights still didn't kick on yet. Tess was sitting on the floor leaning up against the wall. Conan was standing a few feet away from her. And everyone else waited nervously for the lights. Christian walked over to Tess. He placed his hands on his hips.

"It's odd." He stated. Tess looked up. Conan turned to face the two. "How did a girl like you get here?" Christian asked. Tess stood up.

"Well if you must know." Tess stated, she pulled out her badge, "I'm a FBI agent from America." Tess answered his question. Christian nodded his head. Then something blue quickly ran by jumping on Christian.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!" he yelled. Tess pulled out her gun and started to shoot at it. He got it square in the leg. But it ran off. Richard and Inspector Maguire ran over to Christian... he was dead. Richard shook his head. He then looked over in the direction where the 'thing' ran off to.

"Well whatever it was. It killed him." Richard stated. Alec and Michel walked over to Christian's dead body. Alec shook her head. She covered her face with her hands. She leaned up against Michel and started to cry. Michel rubbed her arm. Tess looked at Alec as she cried.

"Don't worry we'll find that thing... whatever it was." Tess stated. Alec looked at her.

"Then do it now!" she yelled, "it killed Christian and my other brother! Find it! And kill it!" she yelled. Tess looked at Alec. Conan walked up to her.

"And I want to be there when it happens." Michel stated. Richard looked at Alec and Michel.

"Tess isn't going out there." Richard stated. Tess looked at Richard.

"Why not?"

"You just got out of the hospital!" Richard yelled. Alec then walked up to Richard and got in his face.

"Then you do something about it!" Alec yelled. "It looked like to me that she was the one with the gun not you!" Alec added. Tess pushed Alec back a little.

"Don't you dare yell at my uncle like that! Next time you do I'll make sure you don't do it again!" Tess yelled.

"Is that a threat?" Alec asked rudely. Tess shook her head.

"No, it's a promise and I ALWAYS keep my word!" Tess yelled getting in her face about it. Conan shook his head.

'She always looses her temper... then she makes a threat.' Conan thought. Rachel pulled Tess away. Inspector Maguire looked at Tess.

"Tess you do believe if she ends up dead..."

"I know. I know. I'll be a suspect since I threatened her. I know the whole thing Inspector." Tess stated nodding her head at the same time. Alec looked back at Richard.

"If Tess can't do it then who is?" Alec asked. Tess looked back at Alec.

"I told you I'll do it didn't I?" Tess asked her rudely. Alec glared at her. Richard shook his head.

"Oh no! You're not going anywhere! You're going to stay here." Richard yelled making her sit down on the couch. "You just got out of the hospital not even 2 hours ago! You're not going out to go get hurt again!" Richard added. Tess crossed her arms. She stood back up.

"Well I don't see you going to go look for it!" she yelled. She walked over to the hallway. She held her gun out ready to shoot anything that appears near her. "I'll be back." Michel then ran to her.

"I'll go to! I want to help you out." Michel stated. Tess and Michel were off. Richard sighed.

"Why won't she listen?" Richard asked. Rachel stood next to him.

"Because that's Tess for you." Rachel answered. Conan stared at the hallway. He didn't want Tess to go. She would get hurt. But Conan also knew that she could watch herself. After a few minutes there were gun shots to be heard. 5 of them. Conan in a reaction took off.

"CONAN!" Rachel yelled for him. He ran and ran. Worrying about Tess. He didn't want her to be hurt or die. He finally stopped when he heard a dripping noise coming from down the hallway. He watched as the dark shadow came forward. Conan took one step back thinking it was the murderer. But when the view became clearer. It was Tess carrying Michel. Tess looked forward.

"Jimmy." Tess stated. Conan ran over as Tess got on her knees and placed Michel on the ground. Conan ran over. He looked at Tess.

"Are you hurt?" he asked. Tess shook her head.

"No."

"What happened?" Conan asked. Tess looked up at Conan.

"Well I was walking when that thing or creature came running out at us. Then I heard a scream so I turned around to see someone on top of Michel stabbing him over and over again. When the creature yelped the person stood up and ran off." Tess answered. Conan nodded his head. Tess looked up at Conan. "The yelp sounded like a dog." Tess stated. Conan looked at Tess.

'A dog?' Conan thought to himself.

"Tess! Conan!" Conan and Tess looked to see who called their names. They saw Richard, Rachel, Inspector Maguire, and Alec running down the hallway. They stopped in front of them.

"Are you okay?" Inspector Maguire asked. Tess nodded her head.

"Are you sure, we heard gun shots." Rachel stated. Tess nodded her head again.

"Michel!" Alec yelled once she saw his dead body. She fell to her knees. She started to cry.

They went back to the living room just to hear Alec's sobbing. Tess had her ears covered; she was sick and tired of hearing her sob. Conan ignored it, Rachel tried to comfort her. Inceptor Maguire and Richard puzzled about the attacks. Conan knew one thing. There was a dog committing the crimes. But why? Why would a dog do it?

"Someone make her stop..." Tess said softly. Alec stopped she then looked up at Tess. Tess knew she heard what she said. Alec stood up.

"HOW ABOUT I KILL YOU'RE BROTHER!!!" Alec yelled. Tess stood up.

"MY BROTHER IS ALREADY DEAD!!" Tess yelled at her back. Alec stared at her funny. Everyone went silent. "MY BROTHER DIED AT MY OWN HANDS!!! BEFORE YOU SAY SOMETHING YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT IT!!!"

"YOU SHOULD TAKE YOU'RE ADIVE!" Alec yelled. Tess and Alec had a stare down for awhile. Conan heard something growling over in the corner. He looked to see it was the creature. It was standing behind Inspector Maguire.

"LOOK OUT INSPECTOR!!!" Conan yelled. Inspector Maguire turned around to have the creature lung at him. Tess pulled out her gun. She went to shoot but she was out of bullets. Rachel ran over as the creature pinned him onto the floor.

"TAKE THIS!" Rachel yelled. She kicked the creature square in his face. The creature looked at Rachel then attacked her pinning her to the ground biting onto her arm. Rachel screamed. "AAAAAAAH!!!!!" Tess ran over. She tackled it. The creature hit their head on the ground. It yelped and got up then ran off. Rachel stood up bleeding. Richard ran over to her.

"Rachel are you okay?" he asked her. Rachel nodded her head.

"Yeah it just bit me." She stated. Inspector Maguire stood up.

"Thank you Rachel." He stated. Rachel smiled.

"You're welcome." She told him. Tess looked at Conan. They knew that this creature must have been trained to kill.

"I'll take you to the kitchen." Richard stated. Alec stood up.

"I'll show you where it is." Alec stated. Richard and Alec took Rachel to the kitchen.

They walked in. then there was a shadow. Richard, Alec, and Rachel stopped. The shadow lunged at Rachel.

"AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!" Rachel yelled. Richard struggled to get the shadow off of her but he was much to heavy. Then Alec tackled him. Rachel managed to rip something off of him. Tess, Conan, and Inspector Maguire ran into the kitchen.

"What happened?" Tess asked. Rachel stood up.

"That shadow attacked me." Rachel answered. "But I managed to rip off a piece of his shirt." She added. Rachel showed the piece of the shirt. Conan and Tess knew who it belonged to. Conan shot a stun needle at Richard putting him to sleep. Conan went behind a counter to hide himself.

"Richard are you okay?" Inspector Maguire asked.

"Yes I'm fine. But everything just hit me. That piece of shirt was a huge clue in this murder game." Richard stated. Tess let Conan do this murder. "That shirt belongs to Bill!" Richard yelled. The shadow pushed Alec off of him to show Bill's face.

"Yes it was me!" Bill yelled. "Me and my dog blue!" Blue then came out from the shadows of the room.

"Why?" Alec asked. "Why did you kill our brothers?" Alec asked.

"Because I hated them! I wanted them dead!"

"Killing someone doesn't do anything for you besides bring you to jail." Richard stated. Tess and Conan smiled.
