"So," Erwin licked xeyr lips, "What do we do?"
Xey pulled xeyr coat tighter around xem with a sigh, William not stopping as he walked toward the cemetery, "We go to the cemetery, we find what the police didn't, I kill whoever took my wife"
"The corpse" Hudson rolled his eyes a bit, "Look, I loved Abigal too. She was a good friend, but isn't this to far"
William stopped, Erwin stepping back slowly as he spun on his heal, eyes practically glowing in anger as he gritted his teeth, "To far? TO far?!" He snapped suddenly, "Her grave was robbed, how is anything to far?!"
Hudson put his hands up, "I'm saying, maybe we shouldn't do this. Murder is to f-"

He was cut off.

"If you don't like it, leave." William turned again, stuffing his hands into his pockets and walking again, quicker this time.
Erwin glanced between the two, but followed William eventually, jogging to catch up.
Hudson took a breath, sighing before following once more.

They did, eventually, arrive at a fenced off graveyard, the sun already setting and giving it a eerie glow, William ducking under police tape as he kneeled next to a pit.

A empty pit.

A dug up grave.

No.

A torn up grave.

He narrowed his eyes, Hudson kneeling behind him before putting a hand to the ground, closing his eyes and breathing gently for a few moments before standing and opening his eyes again, "Two people 10 graves down, not armed or anything just dropping off flowers." He looked toward Erwin, "Your turn, kid"

"I'm not that much younger" Erwin protested, sticking xeyr tongue out but none of the less made xeyr way to the grave, sitting at the edge of it before xey jump down, disappearing down the pit before no sound was able to be detected.

It stayed like that for 5 minutes, before the sound of nails scratching on stone were able to heard, Erwin clawing xeyr way out of the pit with xeyr tongue stuck out in concentration, "Found a pouch, nothing else."
Xey spit on the ground, "Clearly the police are shit"

William let out a snort, before extending a hand, Erwin throwing what seemed to be a leather pouch into it.
Though William dropped it quickly, wincing as he shook his hand and wiped it on his clothing, "Ogre skin"
"Why would that be here?" Hudson spoke up, finally after his while of silence leaning against a tree, the couple before having left long ago.

"I don't know" William admitted, "But it seems like we might be a bit more in trouble than we thought"
"Are you suggesting someone made their way into this world?"
"Didn't we seal it off?"
"I thought we did"

The trio almost began talking over eachother with just how fast they did speak, their voices practically blending together before William suddenly stood and gripped the pouch tightly, sighing as he closed his eyes
"We'll go back to my home, we will examine the pouch and try to find any sort of clue on it, clearly it came here." 

He narrows his eyes

"And someone came with it"
