"Finally. Ain't ya a beauty."
He was done with stuffing the fox.
He leaned back, taking his goggles off and he moved the fox to the shelf.
"Now, to add a bit of colour to those crows and ravens-"
Otto then heard squawking.
A Crow had placed itself on his Grandfather, and was going off the handle.
He growled, grabbing his gun and loading a shell in.
"Okay. I've had it! Quentin, Beatrix; Come out now and I'll let you both walk out peacefully!"
Otto walked around his home and workshop, squinting at anything that could Quentin and his sister.
"You two keep bothering and interfering with my business!"

Otto aimed his gun, either at one of his project with a sheet or it's them hiding under it.
They grabbed Otto, lifting him off with no effort.
Otto's gun hit the ground, the Crow continuing to squawking.
They weren't planning to kill him, not for a while from what they were told.
Soon Otto stopped struggling and they dropped him to the ground, kneeling down and removing one glove to check that he was alive and was content; Though the pressure marks and claw marks might have been. . . Excessive.
Shouldn't have worn these.

"Over here!"
"Kids!"
Matthew, Lucy's Father, rushed over with Jay behind him,"What are you doing?", they had pulled out some sheets and a cart, also had his paint and masks.
"Painting the Go-Kart for Delory."
Lucy shrugged,"You were talking with the others so we didn't wanna bother you.", Matthew was trying to remember if he had even locked the dang cupboard.
Then a a cop car and ambulance passed by them, sirens going off.
Matthew frowned,"What's happening down there?", Aaron shrugged,"Maybe something to do with the school? Or. . . Something.", then Matthew raised his hands, and the kids quieted down immediately.
"Okay: I'll help you kids out, mind giving me a hand, Mr Roth?"
"Sure thing."
So Matthew put on a mask and handed one to Jay,"I appreciate you kids taking the steps like protecting the ground with the sheet and putting this on.", so Matthew took it as a lesson to show them how to do it.
"So about giving Lucy's Wheelchair a makeover??"
. . .
"We'll ask the doctors."
"Yay!"

"A week?!"
Wilson nods,"Yeah.", Otto was looking at his neck, while the pressure marks from the hands were gone he did see some scratches still.
"What was I attacked by? A bird???"
"Not sure."
Keith stood by,"We checked your house and there was a definite struggle and seems like someone was looking for something, and sorry but your uh. . . Dead crowd and ravens all taken.", Otto stared at him, Wilson was trying to motion for Keith to not mention that part but.
"SO I GET STRANGLED AND LOSE MY PROJECTS?!?!"
Oh boy.
Wilson faceplammed.

"Can you think of anyone capable of this?"
Wilson shook his head,"No; I know Otto's been having trouble with Quentin and Beatrix but I don't see them going so far to hurt Otto.", wtiu that, Wilson said he was gonna get Otto's hat and hand it back.

"Sir."
Leslie showed Keith that results,"Not much was found, even with the scratches so maybe whoever's wearing the gloves has sharp nails?", that's a big maybe, though Keith did some some gloves like the Halloween Store could cause damage like a Hand Blade Glove so, maybe the killer's wearing something like that??
