Hunting 101 - Class 6 (Wednesday period 7)

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

When the students came into the Danger Room, they found John leaning against the by-now familiar black car, the main street of a small town behind him.

"Good afternoon," John said when they all had arrived. "First an announcement. I won't be having office hours tomorrow as something has come up and I need to go out of town for the weekend. If you have anything you need to discuss, you can see me after class or wait until my office hours next Tuesday.



"As promised last week, behind me is the town of Hume. As the information you were given tells you, recently two teenage girls -- Ashley Taggart age 15 and Valerie Brown age 16 -- died under identical mysterious circumstances. They were found dead in the town's dance studio after having been practicing alone. There was no signs of violence on the bodies, according to the autopsies, their hearts just gave out.

"This is typical of the kind of information a hunt starts with. So let's see what you can make of it. Your assignment is to find out what killed those girls and stop it. You paired off last week so go to it." He smiled at them. "Impress me."

"Doesn't look out of the ordinary so far," Wyatt said, looking around for the owner.

"Somehow I don't think Mr. Winchester goes for the 'cursed item here' neon sign approach." Neil said wryly as he closed the door but he did pause for a moment to study his surroundings closely.

He didn't have any magic abilities...okay he didn't have any abilities at all, not like Wyatt or Chris but he could try to make up for it by being observant.

"A lot of this stuff looks like permenant fixture...so you'd think if it was cursed, more people would be affected." He agreed.

"Good point," Wyatt said, nodding. "It's gotta be something two girls might share between them, not something that'll effect the whole studio."

"Right." Neil nodded and began to look around.

"Let's try to find someone to talk to." He decided, looking for where a manager or owner might be hanging out and heading in that direction.

"Hello? Is anyone here?"

A man came out of the office in the back. "Can I help you?"

Putting on a polite smile Neil stepped forward, since he had called out and approached the man.

"I hope so, Sir. Are you the manager of this establishment?"

He nodded. "Matt Thatcher," he introduced himself.

"We're investigating the deaths of Ashley Taggart and Valerie Brown," Wyatt said. "What can you tell us about how they were found?"

Re: Dance Studio

The man's expression grew serious and sad. "Such a tragedy. Ashley and Valerie were both such lovely girls and talented dancers."

Re: Dance Studio

"Were they friends?" Neil asked in a curious tone.

Re: Dance Studio

Matt smiled sadly. "Best friends. Valerie was devestated when Ashley died."

Re: Dance Studio

"Do you know if Valerie took anything of Ashley's after she died? A memento of their friendship?" Wyatt asked.

Matt thought for a moment. "There was a pair of dancing shoes," he finally said.

Bingo! Neil's mind practically shouted and he exchanged a quick look with Wyatt.

"Do you know if Valerie was wearing them when she died? I mean...was Valerie of a same size as Ashley or did she just keep them as a momento?"
