During the days that had followed their decision, Emma and Norman had contacted Oliver so he could help them with everything paper related for their plan of fostering.
The red deer had helped them get in contact with the orphanage that had accepted to take the two sisters. Emma had taken the habit to go visit them while they were at the orphanage. Norman and James would accompany her almost everytime. The two sisters had been able to get out of the hospital since their injuries had completely healed.
After a few months, Sherry and Carol were staying with them. James was excited to have some new people in their house with who he would be able to play with. He had showed them all around the house once they had arrived while Norman and Emma settled the girl's belongings in James's bedroom since they would be sharing it.
The house didn't have more than two bedrooms. Emma wanted to change that and eventually add more rooms to the house. Norman had agreed to it. While they waited for the renovation's plans, they decided to transform the office into a bedroom until the girls would be able to have their own bedroom.

Emma was patrolling with Yuugo when they got a call for screams. When they arrived at the scene, whatever was happening was already over. They were too late.
They had to walk through an alleyway before it brought them to an open area surrounded by old apartment buildings. A cul-de-sac, like we call it. A real horror movie scene, you know.
Blood was spilled everywhere. Four unrecognizable people were lying dead on the ground with all of their faces destroyed to the point you couldn't even tell what was the nose or the mouth. One had their throat slit open with a missing arm and foot. An other one had their belly open with their guts coming out of it. The third one had both their throat and belly open while the fourth one had their head missing.
The strong smell of dead body decomposing reached Emma and she had to hold back the urge to puke.
« Jesus Christ. What the fuck happened here? »
The cheetah heard her father muttered as he made his way toward one of the victims' body. Emma approached him but not too much. She was looking around when she noticed something on one of the victims' exposed chest.
The victim, that was a woman, had a weird mark that seemed to have been burnt right between her two boobs.
The ginger-haired girl took a look at the other victim to noticed that they all had that weird burnt mark. One was on his belly, one was on her leg and the last one was on his arm.
« Hey, Yuugo. Come take a look at this. »
Yuugo looked at his daughter before making his way to her side. She pointed him the weird mark.
« They all have one. This one is on her chest. This one is on the leg. This one is on the arm and this one is on the belly. Do you know what this is? »
Yuugo took a good look at the marks and Emma could see he was lost in his thoughts as his tail was wagging in irritation behind him.
« I have no fucking idea what this shit is. »
« Look. »
The white tiger turned around to see what Emma was showing him this time. His eyes widened a little. How did he not see it when they arrived?
On one of the wall of the buildings surrounding them was a message written in blood. Most probably the blood of the victims. In big, red, dripping letters, was written the words:
