The Wither Skeleton Detective: The Grizzly Case

Prologue

It was a peaceful night on Mob Town city limits. No one is a happier man than Richard Heartstone. Why was he happy you asked? It's because he just got a huge raise in his job. He works at Walmart. Organizing all the merchandise and mopping up floors finally payed off. He sat in living room thinking about the raise that he's getting tomorrow. "How much am I going home with?" He wondered out loud. He couldn't wait till his wife returns from work to tell about the good news. It was a long wait, but a few hours later his wife finally returned home from work. "I'm home!"   Clair Heartstone announced as she opened the door. "Why welcome home honey," Richard said as he began towards his wife. Clair closed the door behind and turned around to look at her husband. "You look more happy than usual," Clair said. "That's because something amazing happened to me," Richard replied. "Ooh," Clair said. "What happened?" There's was a moment of silence between the two before Richard said. "I got a raise,"
"You did!?" Clair said. Richard nodded which caused them to embrace each other with a hug. "I knew you are gonna get one," Clair exclaimed. "Especially after all the hard work you do."
"You know what?" Asked Richard "we should celebrate. Want to go out for dinner to celebrate?" They ended the hug while Richard waited for an answer.
"Sure, where are we going?" Clair asked.
"I'm thinking about Applebees," Richard said as he put on jacket.

After having dinner to celebrate the occasion, Richard and Clair head back home and turn in for the night. Richard was in the bathroom brushing his teeth. Once he was done, he put on his pajamas and laid down next to his wife on their king sized bed. "Are you ready for tomorrow?" Clair asked as she turned to her side to look at her husband.
"You bet," Richard replied. "And I'm going to work even harder tomorrow."
"That sounds like a plan," said Clair. "Well we should be getting some sleep. We don't want to go to work tired."
"Yeah that's probably a good idea," Richard said. "Goodnight Clair."
"Goodnight Richard," Clair replied with yawn as they closed their eyes and let sleep take over without knowing that danger lurked around the corner.
