orpheus comfortably laid back on wednesday's bed, a book in his hand as his eyes danced over the words. wednesday and thing were at her bulletin board, looking over the pictures of the case.

a timid enid came up behind wednesday, hands behind her back as she eyed the pictures with distaste, "when i suggested giving your side of the room a makeover, i did not have ted bundy's pinterest in mind"

wednesday fixed her with a stare, "still not as creepy as your stuffed unicorn collection" the girl turned back to her board as orpheus glanced up from his book with a slight frown, "it is pretty creepy" he added, shooting a glare at the unicorns that adorned enid's side of the room.

enid only ignored the comment, sighing as she looked at the back of wednesday's head, "is this why you snuck out last night?" the blonde asked, bringing her hands to rest in front of her body as she shot orpheus a glance. "and i assume you did as well" she added.

"thing, orpheus, and i made an unsanctioned trip to the county morgue to copy the files of the monster's victims" her words left enid with a look of disgust, "okay, there are so many levels of ew in that statement, i don't even know where to begin"

"i need to get inside it's head" wednesday said, ignoring enid's words as she turned to face her, "discover any patterns or anomalies" she added as orpheus shut his book and sat up. "we've already made a big discovery" he hummed as wednesday began taking things down.

"turns out all of the monster's victims have had body parts surgically removed" wednesday walked up to enid, holding the pictures out to her. "the first one a kidney" she pulled a picture out, enid holding it with uncertainty. "the second one a finger" she continued, not caring for enid's visible discomfort.

"wednesday, i don't feel–" enid was cut off as wednesday presented her with another picture, "the third one a gall bladder" orpheus added as wednesday hummed, turning to walk back to the board, "and the bearded man from the meeting house, two toes"

she placed another picture in enid's hands, staring her striaght in the eyes, "do you understand what this means?" she asked, prompting orpheus to stand up and begin explaining, "these murders aren't mindless. he's collecting trophies like a seasoned serial killer"

"it's impressive, actually" wednesday added just as enid dropped to the floor, having had enough of the pictures that were handed to her. wednesday and orpheus stared down at her body, before wednesday turned back to the board where thing tapped.

"fetch the smelling salts" wednesday told thing, before adding, "again." orpheus stared down at the blonde's body with a frown as he stepped over her, "i'll see you in class" he said, not waiting to help with enid before he shut the door, quickly making his escape.
