After the station had been shut down for about a week for repairs from the fire, Nick and Judy went back to work. On the way there Nick, decided it would be best not if he didn't drive. Judy agreed with his precaution and drove them there. When they pulled into the parking lot, Judy stopped Nick from leaving and said "So are we not going to talk about what happened last week?" Judy asked. "Not here, not now. We need to focus on who this guy is." though both Nick and Judy realized, at this point it wasn't a HE, it was something... else. They got out of the car and walked into the department, it was dead silent. No yells from "falsely accused" people or the jokes of games of other officers. Even Clawhauser was silent as they walked in. "Do you think they know? That I knew about what was going to happen?" Nick whispered to Judy. "There's no way. Were the only people that knew it was going to happen." she told him. They went about their day as they normally would, until the sleepless night and stress of everything finally got to Judy, and she slumped unconscious at her desk.

Judy lifted her head and saw a dark, empty office greet her. "What.. how long have I been out?" she looked at her watch, then remembered, she doesn't have a watch. He got up trying to find the nearest clock, then had a thought "If the station is closed, why didn't Nick wake me up?" she thought as she made her way though the station. When she made it to Bogo's office, the closest place with a clock she could think of, she paused. She heard what sounded like, dry leaves blowing against a concrete wall. When she entered the room, she realized she shouldn't have opened the door. Just as nick had described to her. It was a grey, empty room besides the chair in the center of the room with the light above it. In the back of the room, there it was. The wolf thing, but like nick had said, it wasn't right, something that shouldn't exist in the real world. "Well this isn't exactly the real world, now is it?" the thing said matter of factly. "How did you... know I was thinking that?" Judy asked with a hint of fear in her voice. "Well your asleep, aren't you? My domain is this realm." he told her. "Why are you doing this? The cult, the murders, all of this!" she shouted at him. She noticed seemed to flinch a bit at the noise, like how you would expect someone to react to a shout when they have a headache. "Its a secret, because it would ruin the surprise wouldn't it?" he chuckled as he spoke. "What surprise are you talking about?" she said, slowly raising her voice as she spoke and watched the thing. "STOP raising your voice please, we are inside. And again it would ruin it if I told you.". That's when Judy had an idea. She always kept the small thing of fox repellant on her belt. She quietly unbuttoned the pouch and then began yelling and shouting. The thing began grabbing at its ears and blocking the noise, until it shot out a massive hand and brought her face to face. "I said be quiet!" he yelled as he lifted her up. "Than you have the right to remain silent." and sprayed the can of repellant into its eyes it screamed in pain and dropped her to the floor just as she hit the ground, she awoke at her desk, in a cold sweat.

Nick took one look at her face and said "You saw him, didn't you?" blankly. "You hit him on the head with the bat right?" she asked him. "Yah, and then I woke up." he told her. "Strange..." she said trailing off. "Ok, we have to find out who I doing the murders DIRECTLY not causing them." he said firmly to get her attention. She snapped back to reality (OH! There goes gravity) "Sorry I just had this, feeling that something bad happened..." she said. "What do you me-" Nick was cut short "Get off your ass, come on!" she ran full speed towards the exit. Nick, knowing better than to ask questions at this point just ran after her. They got into the car and immediately pulled out of the lot and sped away. "Where the hell are we going?" nick said nervously "Just like you I saw something, Clawhauser was in his apartment and he got up to answer the door and then there was screams of pain and pleads for mercy..." she said to him with a shaky voice. "Judy, focus on the road, I almost killed us the same way remember?" he said.  After about 7 minutes of driving, they arrived at set of apartments. They made their way up to number 4C. When they knocked on the door, it swung open without resistance. They looked at each other anxiously as they slowly made their way in and stopped 10 feet in due to the smell, and the sight. There were piles of... of empty food containers and cans, all carelessly thrown around. "God, I thought I was messy." they both gave a sigh of relief, and turned to leave when they looked down the hallway. There appeared to be some sort of stain leading to the bedroom. They followed the stain to the door when a stench even worse than the first one hit their noses, causing them to turn and gag. When they turned back into the room, they saw the cause the of the stench. Clawhauser hadn't been dead for very long, maybe 10 minutes at least. His stomach had split in a plus pattern, causing all internal organs to come spilling out. His throat had been cut in a way to make it look like 2 doors opening to the esophagus. Both arms and legs had been snapped at the elbows and knees, and they had been turned around. His heart had been cut out like all others, but they found it this time. It was next to him with a surgeons knife impaled it. As they turned to walk out, they found words written in Clawhauser's blood, presumably, spelling out

"Karnate does not take well to disrespect"

"You think this karnate person is the one we saw?" Judy said shakily. "I don't think. I know it is. How the hell did he make it back?" nick said. "What? You know who karnate is?" judy asked him in a serious tone of voice. "No, that son of a bitch we had a deal, you goddamn cheat!" Nick screamed at the wall before slamming it over and over again. "NIck?" judy said, softer and calmingly. Nick looked at her, dead in the eyes and said "We need to go. I f anyone will know what to do, he will." Nick said as he got up and headed towards their car.
