Scorpio walked around until he came by a graveyard, he noticed they were in the middle of a burial.

Scorpio: Hmm, must be from the motorcade from earlier.

Stranger: He was a good man.

Scorpio looked over and saw a young man standing next.

Scorpio: Who was he?

Stranger: He was the town's doctor, everyone respected and loved him, which makes what happened really confusing.

Scorpio looked over.

Stranger: Sorry, where are my manners, my name is Joseph.

Scorpio: Pleasure, my name is Scorpio, what do you mean by confusing.

Joseph: Well lately some of the the townspeople has been disappearing or found dead by what appears to be animal attacks, but his death was clearly murder.

Scorpio: Interesting.

Joseph: Yeah, I was planning on thanking him a few days ago, but I never got the chance to.

Scorpio kept listening.

Joseph: I'm a soldier, and I was enlisted before the impending war so I was sent out early, I had to leave my pregnant wife behind. While I was away, she went into labor, there were, complications, but thanks to the doctor, my wife and child survived.

Scorpio: Congratulations on your child.

Joseph: Thank you, excuse me but I have to get home now.

Scorpio nodded and Joseph left, before making his way back, Scorpio decided to get more information on the missing people and attacks.

Benny leaves and Scorpio sits down.

Taurus: I think she likes you.

Scorpio: Could've fooled me.

Virgo came downstairs shortly after.

Scorpio was talking them about what's going on around town.

Virgo: We should help figure this out.

Taurus: I don't think we should get involved.

Scorpio: Yeah last I checked, we're exorcists, not the police.

Taurus: We should just stay the night and leave before we get sucked in.

Suddenly a old lady walks out the kitchen.

Old Lady: What do you mean leave, you were sent here for a reason.
