Zack and Loona head home to sleep the rest of the night away. Then as morning was around, Loona drove Zack to the hellhound adoption center. Sweets was already there, as he was waiting for them in the parking lot. Loona, Zack, and Sweets proceed to enter the place, but Zack is worried about Loona, especially since this place brought too many bad memories.
Marge: *Looks at Loona with a stern face* So, what brings you here?
Loona: Business with a murder case.
Zack: She's helping me solve this murder, especially since the victims are related to this place. *Shows the photo that was in Julia's bedroom*
Marge: *Eyes widen* Let me see.
Zack shows Marge the photo and Marge was in utter shock. Normally Loona wouldn't show any sympathy for Marge, but Loona deep down felt a bit bad for her. Especially since three friends have been murdered, and Marge might be the only lead they have.
Marge: I might as well explain. The one hellhound you see in that photo, the white and silvery husky, that's Matthew. When I first had him here, he was 7. He was born mute, so he couldn't talk. Despite that, he made those friends and had a great start. Then a few years later he got adopted and things sounded alright. But then he had to be put back into the foster system as his family didn't want him anymore. Then he got savage and... he tried to bite people by their neck... *Wincing*
Loona: Were his friends still around?
Marge: Yes, but they knew something was wrong. I shouldn't have separated him like that...
Loona: You mean, segregated?
Marge: You know what I mean. But then Matthew got too old for the system and I was stuck in a dilemma. Either put him down, or send him to a hospital.
Loona: Please tell me you chose the hospital option.
Marge: I did. Because after seeing your case, and the trauma you went through, I thought I'll give Matthew a chance by sending him to Dr. Somna and Dr. Gene. It seemed to work. However, I haven't heard any recent news, despite the fact he's been in hospital for at least a year now.
Loona: You gave them a call?
Marge: I have, but Gene wouldn't respond.
Loona: Then call Somna.
Marge: Oh... *Facepalms herself* I should've thought about that...
Marge dials Somna's number and gets a response. Marge and Somna talk for a while, and Marge then asks about Matthew's condition. However, Marge's face began to show concern while she was talking to Somna, and Loona could tell something was wrong.
Loona: What's wrong?
Marge: Matthew's gone. He was checked out several months ago.
Loona: *Eyes widen* Oh Shit.
Sweets: *Interjects* Can I ask you something, Marge?
Marge: Certainly.
Sweets: When Matthew was adopted and returned, did his parents ever come to you?
Marge: *Thinks and eyes widen a bit* No, only Dr. Gene did. He told me his parents dropped him off at the hospital and Gene brought Matthew here.
Sweets: You didn't find it suspicious?
Marge: *Facepalms herself again* No... He was a recognized hellhound doctor so I trusted his word. Especially since Gene is a hellhound himself.
Sweets: I see... *Looks at Zack*
