Hunting 101 - Class 12 (Wednesday period 7)

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

The Danger Shop was set up to look like a small village. John and the Impala were parked by the sign saying "Welcome to Hamlin".

"I said last class that when dealing with something that is a little less common, the most valuable thing you can do is research. That's what today's assignment is about. You were on the road and came across a newspaper article talking about a rash of children disappearing from the village of Hamlin. There was one boy, name withheld, whose siblings disappeared, talked about a figure in the night and hearing music. That's all the information you have. And that's more than you would start with on some hunts." John smiled slightly.

"Your assignment is to pair up and find out what's happening here, what's doing it and how to stop it. You can examine the area, talk to the people, go online at the library, whatever you need to do. It's completely up to you."

[OOC: Sorry this is so late; I had an orientation thing for a new job which took longer than I thought it was going to. Wait for OCD's up! Have at it!]

"No clue," Alec said, thumbs in his pockets as he walked up to the doorstep beside Alanna. "All we know is his siblings were taken and he wasn't. Maybe we should try and find out if there's some difference between them, why he was left behind." He knocked at the door.

The door swung open and a woman sniffled at Alec and Alanna. "Can I help you?"

"Um..." The red head blinked a few times. "We're from the newspaper?"

"We're here to do a piece on the missing children for the high school paper," Alec broke in, giving her a sympathetic smile. "We just want to talk to your son, if that's okay."

The woman sniffled again and gave them a look of disbelief. "He's spoken to the police," she said tearily. "I don't want him any more upset than he already is."

"Ma'am, often it helps for the person to talk through the event. And your son would probably appreciate talking with someone slightly closer to his age." Alanna could do sweet and charming, really. Not very well, but she was somewhere in the general area.

Alec nodded, trying to look sweet and sympathetic still. "I promise, ma'am, we're not here to make anything worse."

The woman looked at the both of them and then sighed, stepping back to let them in the open door. "Fine."
