You've never been one to run away! You pull out your sturdy police baton and drop into a fighting crouch. This isn't the first time you've had to defend yourself on the job. The blocky figure sees your threatening posture and takes a swing. You block his arm with the baton, and it feels like batting a big rock. You remember the figure behind you, and dodge its fist, too. But the third figure hits you in the back of the head. With sickening speed, the gravel path rushes up to meet your face.
You wake up the next morning with a terrible headache and blurry vision. Bruised and shaky, the client helps you to the hospital. The doctor diagnoses a concussion and prescribes several days of bedrest. You describe the figures, but it was dark, and you can't remember any details. By the time you recover, your case has been reassigned to another investigator, perhaps someone who can produce results. Your poor performance goes into your permanent record with Validus Paranormal Investigators. Most frustratingly, you never did learn the truth. Tomorrow is another day, though, with new mysteries.
