I grab my gun as quick as I can and aim down my sights. The Cripton moves but I aim and take a few shots I hit it once but the rest I missed. It ran away before I could catch up to it and completely disappeared. It left a small trail of blood so I take a sample of it and will test it later to see if it matches the black blood I found before.
Pete runs out moments after I get done taking the sample. "What took ya so long?" I grieve. "Well, I had to keep everyone under control after they heard the gun shots." He explains. I give him a nod and put the sample in my case. "Let's get back to the station." I tell him.

"Aster!" I shout as I take the samples out of my case. "Test these and fax the results to my office." I give her the three samples and she puts her gloves and mask on. "On it!"
I look up at my offices sign. "Detective Klive" I read to myself proudly. I open my door and set my suit case down. I sit down in my chair and sigh. I turn the chair and myself to the side and push myself over to some drawers. I open the drawer marked with the letters a-c. I open the drawer and flip through the files. I mumble the past case names as I find my desired file. "Ah, here it is." I pull out the file that labeled CRIPTON and read through the documentary.
"So far only two of this species has been found...unsure of the location it came from.... 13 possible deaths causes by this creature.... immune to bullets but will slow them down and can bleed, but the best possible way to kill the Cripton is supposedly with fire infusedd with a certain toxin called Sarin....one was successfully killed with the mixture." I scan through the page and tap my forehead.
"Perfect!" I remark. Remebering that I had a sample of the Sarin in my personal finds. I roll myself over to my desk and pick up the small container labeled Sarin. The liquid has a pale turquoise color too it. Then I head down to the armory to get one of the flame throwers.
Luckily I snuck in without anyome noticing and I grab one of the guns. I quickly head out and go back to my office. As I open the door I can already hear my printer going off. I set down the gun and took the papers out of the printer.
"The 2 black blood samples are the same and the blood does lead to Mr.Glender." I figure out. So that rules out a murder. If the blood matches to the Cripton then it's definitely the Cripton who killed Mr.Glender.
I take the papers and sit them on my desk and then go back to grab the flame thrower. Next I grab the Sarin container and pour it into the gun. I grab a note pad and think of any ideas on how to find the Cripton, trap it, and kill it.
After awhile Garrison comes in and sits in a chair in front of my desk. " So I talked to Aster about what you were working on and I thought I'd ask if I could help." He says with an exciting tone. "Sure, I could use it." I reply back still trying to plot my plan.
"Ok, so let's think. Why would he Cripton kill Mr.Glender? Is there something to the surroundings that influenced the Cripton ' s presence? Or was it just that the Cripton ran into him?" I question. "Well Mr.Glender's house was a bit succluded and so was the diner you went too with Pete. Maybe it tries to attack it's prey to where it thinks that we won't get to it in time or hours later to when someone finds the body?" He thinks.
"Clearly it's got its own method and that sounds like a legitimate reason. Even though it would probably help to think of more reasons to why it killed him, that seems pretty logical." I reply back. I brought out my file on the Cripton and read too him what I had scanned through earlier.
"I see you've already got the flame thrower, but do you already have the Sarin in there?" He asks. "Yup, now we just gotta figure out where it is and to trap it."
"It feeds on humans, so one of us will have to be bait. Honestly I'm no where near as good as you with guns so I will be bait. Since it has to be in a succluded area I presume the forest near the Kanestead Plantation. I'll walk through the trail into the forest, you park in the entrance to the trail. If I see it I'll click my walkie-talkie button twice giving off the static. That will be the signal to come in and help me kill it, got it?" "Got it!"

After we packed everything up, we head out towards the plantation. It's getting late so the sky is darkening. Hopefully that won't be a problem to see through the forest. I look at my watch and see the digital numbers show 7:30. I sigh and scratch my neck nervously. I hope everything will go as planned.
I hop out of the car when we arrive and fix my walkie-talkie to where it place is on my belt. I load my gun and put it in its holster and take a deep breath. Garrison gives me a hopeful look. He pulls me in for a hug and tells me "Don't worry about it. You'll be fine I promise." "Ok." I say as I pull away. I cross my arms and walk slowly into the forest unsure of what I await too. "Here we go." I sigh.
I look back at my watch and it reads 7:41. I put one hand on my belt and one in my pocket, ready to call or take out my gun, just in case.
As I walk through the lush forest I hear rustling and the rattling of trees all around me. I get spooked every now and then and stop and put my hand on the holster of the gun, ready for something to happen. But nothing does and I content each time. I look down at my watch once more and it says 7:46 and take another deep breath. I resume my sight back to the trail and notice how dark it's getting. I curse quietly as I see something skitter quickly across the ground. I take out my walkie- talkie and put my thumb on the button, I don't push it yet though. I see it skip past again and then hit the button twice. I try to put my radio back into my belt but am knocked down quickly.
At first I'm shocked and unaware of what is happening but then I realize a face is a few inches above mine growling furiously. Suprised I something I can't identify but also I'm also unsure if it's the Cripton at the same time. Soon I am knocked out.

I wake up tide to a chair behind a man working quickly and madly laughing and whispering things to himself as he switches out odd medical tools. I feel something behind me and I slowly turn my head to see it. I calm down only to see its Garrison but he is knocked too. I look back at the person working on something and try to get a closer look. It's the Cripton. He's making it stronger and more lethal.
Suprisingly the tape he tied me down with is dull and I quietly qiggled myself out. I tip toe over to the weird guy and once I get close, I tackle him. He is strong and quickly throws me on the ground and the wind is instantly knocked out of me. I struggle to get up but the person holds me down with his foot. I grab it and try to move it but have no luck. He has a srynge in his hand filled with a dark green liquid. He bends down and shoves it into my neck and gag and try to scream but can't.
I wake up on the ground with the Cripton ' s fangs stuck into my neck. I can't move but I can hear something in the distance. My sight is blurry and I'm coming in and out of conciousness. I feel the fangs lift out only too see that Garrison kicked the Cripton off of me. He pulls the trigger and lights up the monster. It disenegrates and it's ashes are swept away in the wind.
I'm awake but I can't move so Garrison picks me up and puts me over his shoulder. He runs to the car and drive back to the station. I try to move but it hurts so he picks me up again and carries me inside.
I'm set down on the table and Aster sticks me with multiple shots and other things. I'm so tired I just fall asleep.
I wake up soon afterwards and sit up. " Great! sleeping beauty is awake. The Cripton fangs were filled with amnesia serum. It caused you to hallucinate into a lucid dream and then you fought yourself out of it. Aster got all of the poison from the fangs before you could have another dream. You should be fine now." Garrison explains.
