Madness

Get The Fuck Out Of My House

I thought that after my little visit at his house, Roman would call me after having another dream but clearly not. We had nothing to go on with and time was running out. I did tried to call a few agency around Hemlock Grove that use plane or where we could rent one but no success. Peter and I split the list in two and I was hoping he had a little more luck than I did.
When I arrived at the apartment, the door was opened and I could hear two other male voices apart from Peter.
" ... You fucking little fuck. How'd you do it ? You got mirrors in here ? Some shit like this ?" I got closer and noticed that one of the guys had a baseball bat in his hands and he didn't seem scared to use it. "We want our goddamn money back." The other guy was looking around the room and nearly saw me. " Where's the dog ? I know there was a dog. You can't fake that kind of realism."
Oh those guys must be the ones Peter turned in front of ... I couldn't hear Peter's response but one of the two prick put the bat under Peter's throat and starting yelling, asking where his money was, so I'm guessing it wasn't really smart. I was about to go inside but Peter saw me and shook his head.
"Ok, Ok. I'll tell you exactly where it is." he said to the guy. "I took it and I gave it to an attorney to get someone out of a jam. All of it. And it's not coming back. So you can beat the shit out of me, but you're still not gonna get it."
"You're lying. He's trying to fuck us again. Gives us the goddamn money !" and he hit Peter in the stomach to somehow finish his sentence.
"Hey ! What is happening here ? Leave him alone !" I said rushing to Peter's side. He was on his knees and a small growl was coming out of his throat.
"Who the fuck are you ?" the guy with the bat said.
"It doesn't matter who I am but I can tell you that if you do not leave right now you're going to regret it !" I tried to tell him but he came towards me and punched me in the face. I fell next to Peter and I could see the bones of his spine moving just like last year in that church when Christina turned into a white wolf.
"Where the fuck is it ? Where is it dickweed ?" One of the guy said hovering over Peter.
Peter let out a low growl and suddenly got up and punched him so violently in the face, I heard his nose's bone crack. The immediate scream of the drug dealer seemed to snap Peter out of his trance and he yelled to the other guy. "Grab an ice pack from the freezer !"
The other intruder was so surprised that he didn't move and just looked at us. Peter yelled at him one more time and even I flinched a bit. While his friend was getting the ice pack, the other guy was screaming as if someone had cut off his leg.
"You sack the fuck up. You ain't dying." Peter got close to him, placed his hand on his nose and put it back in place. "There, now it'll heal straight. Put that on your friend's nose. Now get out of my house." Neither of the guys moved. "Get the fuck out of my house !" They ran away and Peter fell back on his knees.
"Are you ok ? Please don't tell me you're turning." I begged him.
"I won't." He said sounding out of breath. He lifted his shirt and on his ribs, claws marks on either side of his body were bleeding, as if his wolf had scratched his skin to get out. "I won't turn, but could you pass me the bottle next you ?" He got up only to sit a few meters away, against the wall. I passed him the bottle of alcohol and he took one sip before pouring some on his wounds ... And one more problem to add to the list ...

I got in town and saw some posters of a missing person on the walls. I didn't pay attention at the first but when I got closer, I recognized Letha's mom, Marie Godfrey. As I was reading the poster, a police officer was coming my way.
"Do you know her ?" He asked. After what happened at the Godfrey's mansion last year, when the two cops tried to kill Peter, I grew quite suspicious of them.
"Yeah, kind of ... I'm sorry, you are ?" I asked him.
"Chasseur, I'm the new Sheriff here." He answered extending his hand for me to shake. Chasseur, just like the woman who was investigating the murders around town and shot Peter when he was in his wolf form. I realized I was staring at him and I snapped out of it, shaking his hand. "And I'm Rose, Rose Ashford. I'm terribly sorry for staring but ... do you have any relation with Clementine Chasseur ?"
The second I said that I immediately regretted it. The look in his eyes froze me to death.
"As a matter of fact I do. She's my sister. Do you know her ?"
"No, not really. I just saw her a couple of times in town, that's all." I said, trying to stay calm.
"And how do you know Mrs Godfrey if I may ask ?"
"I didn't actually know her. I'm just ... friend with her nephew."
"Oh, yeah. The infamous Roman Godfrey." He had a little smile on his face and seemed to know a lot more than he let out. He was making me very uncomfortable and I faked an appointment to get away from him. I ran to the Godfrey tower and got in.

It wasn't very hard to bullshit to guy in front of Roman's office and got in, his "secretary" still following me.
Roman was eating and didn't even bother to lift his head. " I told you I didn't have the time to see anyone."
"And I told him you had a bit of time for me." As soon as he heard my voice he looked straight at me and he looked kind of torn between letting me stay or calling security. "It's important Roman." He told his receptionist to go and I couldn't resist making a little joke.
"I wasn't expecting that kind of secretary to be honest. A bit more blonde and a bit more breast. A woman actually." He didn't seemed to like it.
"Why are you here Rose ?"
"Alright ... I was in town and I bumped into the new sheriff."
"I hardly see why it's any of my concern."
"Because you didn't let me finish." I said. "His name is Chasseur. As in Clementine Chasseur."
"If you have something to say Rose, just say it. I don't have time for riddles."
"Have you seen Dr Chasseur after the little incident we had last year, at the Godfrey Steel Mill ?"
"No .. Actually I didn't."
"And don't you find it a bit weird that just after what happened she just vanished and her brother is now the new sheriff in Hemlock Grove ?"
"I'll ... look into it. Is that all you came here for ?" He asked.
"Well, sorry if I disturbed you that much I'll be on my way. Just wanted to give you the heads up."
"No no no ! You don't have to leave if you don't want to. I mean you're not really disturbing me. So ... How's life ?" It was a bit weird coming from Roman and I was about to answer when I got a message from Peter telling me to join him in town.
"Sorry Roman ... I have to go."
"Yeah, you better run. We wouldn't want to keep Peter waiting would we ?"
A woman came in the office and I took it as my opportunity to leave. "I'll see you around Roman."
