Hunting 101 - Class 6 (Tuesday, period 5)

[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.

"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."

"Are you the one that found them, sir?"

His expression grew distressed. "Yes. I came in in the morning and found them collapsed like broken dolls in front of the mirrors."

Annja managed to hide a wince. "Were the two girls friends or in the same class?"

"Best friends," the man said with a sad smile. "They were practically inseperable."

Johnny was curious. About a couple of things. "Did you notice anything peculiar around the girls? Perhaps on the floor, or... anything with the studio itself?"

The man shook his head. "Not really. Except..."

"Except...?" he asked quietly.

"It almost looked like the poor girls danced themselves to death. Just fell in mid step."

Annja was really hating this. Anytime kids were involved, she got tense.

"You said they were best friends, sir. Did they often exchange clothing or anything like that?"

At the orphanage, some of the girls had shared sweaters and things. So she thought it was a valid question.

"I'm not really the best person to ask about that," he said wryly, "but it wouldn't surprise me."

"A reaper," he said quietly to Annja, his brows raised in question. "We need to talk to their families."

"Thank you for your help, sir," Annja said as she turned to leave.

When they were out of earshot, she nodded at Johnny. "We do. We should also try to find out if there are any other girls that they were very close to."
