[They had no problem. They got this. But night here seemed heavier, darker than at the Curti Center. The stray calls of loons, alien in the distance, didn't help along with the peeper frogs and the crickets sounding off through the warm, damp woods.
The earth was soft and loamy beyond the worn in trails the campers and counselors usually took, aided by the sparkling waters of the lake. Hammer at the ready, Kanji kept his ears trained for the odd lilting sound moogles made in flight, perhaps the little flutter of wings.
One tree was roped off heavily, dabbed with blood and strewn bark everywhere. This must be where one of the victims was beaten to death against it. Kanji gestured to Suzette, who lit up her pom and nervously fluttered in closer. Somehow, despite the murders taking place days before, the blood still gave a faint shimmer against the blades of grass and the dirt.
As they neared the lake proper, following a trail where a body had been dragged in for examination after washing up on the beach, there was some sort of animal hissing, croaking, and water splashing nearby.]
