Your dad taught you that sometimes you have to fight, but he also taught you that allowing the enemy to pick the time and place is bad tactics. The blocky figures lurch towards you, but you duck around a clumsy swing. You race back down the gravel path and quickly reach the shed. Kicking the door open, you turn and stand in the doorway. The figures have followed partway, but you've outpaced them. Here, they can't surround you. You snap a few pictures with your phone and call in cleaner support as per protocol. The figures, seeing your firm stand on defensible ground, turn and hurry away.
The cleaner team arrives in a few minutes, but the figures are long gone. The pictures and evidence from the monitors turns out to be blurry and inconclusive. But based on your account, the client agrees to hire the team to cleanse the property of magical beings. Either that works, or your confrontation has convinced the figures to leave. They don't return, and the client happily pays the company. V.P.I. marks the case closed successfully, adding to your growing record.
Mysteries remain, and you still have more questions than answers. But tomorrow is another day, maybe with another case.
