You’re resting in your abode around 9 pm drinking your favorite prohibited drink when there is a knock at your door. Being a deputy constable, you of course answer. It’s not totally uncommon to get disturbed in the evening. You recognize the individual as Dr. Nivek, the town Vet. He tells you that three of his friends are in town and are at a medical conference at the elementary school (long story, not important) when another person told them three boys had broken into the town library. Two had run but one was being held by the cleaning staff.
Before this happened, Navillus Mit, local farmer, had shown up to speak with Dr. Nivek complaining the some of his cows had gone missing and a few were found dead. Thinking they might possibly be related the three acquaintances went to question the library intruder. The one who was caught was Coon West, a local troublemaker. All he would say was that he was researching a high school paper. When the team went to investigate the room the intruders were discovered in, Coon somehow got past Dr. Nivek and the janitor. The team chased him and Dr. Nivek followed as best he could but he lost them near the covered bridge at the end of school street.
Someone had gone for the constable but he is out of town. Dr. Nivek lost his friends and came straight to me.
