Officer Jeff
There wasn't a single cloud in the night-sky.
The stars shone like an ocean of lights in the heavens.
The siren of a police car echoed through the darkness as blue and red lights flooded the otherwise gloom village streets. Jeff saw a shadow sprint through the night, move into the side street between two rather old buildings. He stepped on the gas, did a sharp turn to the right as the police car barely fit in between the towering walls of concrete.
He saw the shadow attempt to escape, drove faster as he caught up with approaching speed. The next turn was right ahead, but the car wouldn't fit in there. If he was hesitant now, that bastard would get away with what he had done.
He couldn't let him get away with this. He just couldn't.
Jeff felt his hands clutch the steering wheel tight as he drove forward, his gaze locked on the shadow, then violently stepped on the brakes in the last moment possible.
The car came to an abrupt stop right after it hit the person with decreased speed. The shadow flew around three meters through the air before hitting a concrete wall. Jeff pressed a button on his walkie-talkie, got out of the car with his gun clutched tight in both hands. He moved closer to the shadow, which was already attempting to get up. The lights of the police car lifted the shroud of anonymity off the shadow, revealed it to be human. As the person saw the weapon, he stopped moving.
Jeff stared into the dark, sunken eyes of the male in front of him. The man was covered in blood not his own, his eyes gleaming in ecstasy as a wide grin formed on his face.
Jeff was now sure he had caught the right one.
"Mister Hoffner," he said as more police cars were audible approaching in the distance.
"You are under arrest."

Jack
Jack was laying on his back, hands behind his head to make up for his lack of pillow. He was staring up towards the reddened horizon, his mind circling about past events. He had moved on top of the massive climbing frame about one hour ago, couldn't rest.
The roof was accessible through a ladder on the highest floor of the building – a room where Hendrick and Jim were currently sleeping in. The flat roof was surrounded by a roughly one meter high fence out of wooden slats. Hendrick had assured them that they would be safe here, that the beast wouldn't find them here, yet he didn't feel safe. How could they sleep even though Anna was still gone? And why did this adventure not feel like he had always imagined it?
