'We've been searching for hours, sheriff the dogs need a break you think we missed something?' a officer asked.
'I say we double back, swear collet creek, and then call it a night' sheriff says.
'Okey' the officer said.

At Nevermore Wednesday is seen talking to the sheriff as they, Weems and Celestia walks to Weems office.
'How could you miss a dead body?' Wednesday asked.
'Cause it wasn't there. No footprints, no blood, no sign of a struggle. Nothing, nada. My search party looked all night' says the sheriff.
'Well, your search party must have left their seeing-eye dogs at home, we saw that monster kill Rowan right in front of us' Wednesday said.
'Get a good look at this monster thing?' sheriff asked.
'It didn't stick around for a chat' Wednesday said.
'What about that dragon? Or maybe it was one of your classmates?' asked the sheriff.
'Sheriff I find that question offensive' Weems said.
'The dragon is right here, he's on my sister head and his name is Alvaro' said Wednesday.
'I don't care, cause I got three other dead bodies in the morgue, hiker just ripped apart in the woods' sheriff says.
'The mayor said those were bear attacks' says Weems.
'Well, the mayor and I disagree on that' said the sheriff.
'So you automatically assume a Nevermore student is the murderer, even though there's no evidence a crime was even committed' Weems said.
'I'm sorry, I forgot, you only teach the good outcasts here, right?' ask the sheriff.

'My guess is Rowan ran away, state troopers have put out an alert, and I've contacted his family, but they haven't heard from him either' Weems said.
'Dead people are notoriously bad at returning calls' said Wednesday.
'What were you two doing out in the woods with him, Addams sisters?' the sheriff asked.
'W-we heard a n-noise in the for-est and w-w-went to g-go in-investigate, t-that's w-when we stu-stu-stumbled upon the a-attack' Celestia said.
'Then what happened?' the sheriff asked.
'Then we ran into Bianca Barclay, and we told her to go for help, next thing we remember, we were awaking in our dorm' Wednesday said.
'And just to be clear, this monster wasn't a bear or some other wild animal?' asked the sheriff.
