Opening the door to an open garage, Shroobz walked in while carrying Nadwe wrapped up in his blanket.

He chuckled and held Nadwe against his chest "This is one of our training floors for our K-9 units little man. Looks like we came just in time too, watch." He points over to the set up of a messy RV living room as the K-9 officer kept a hold on his German Shepard.

"Ready...Out!"

He let Shepard go as he ran over to the setup. He sniffed around before stopping at the record player stand, sitting beside it.

The K-9 then walked over and moved the player to the side, picking up a cotton ball as he smiled. "Atta boy Scoob!" He pets Scoob’s head as the dog panted happily; wagging his tail.

Shroobz chuckled "They let me name him haha."

The K-9 officer looked over and smiled "Hey Shroobz!" He put the lead back on Scoob and walked over. "Whatcha doing back here? I thought you were comfortable with an office job." Shroobz nodded, "oh don't worry Fred, I'm more than comfortable with an easy job." He laughed and gestured to Nadwe "But well I thought I'd show this little man around; show him the good and exciting jobs."

Fred tilted his head and looked at Nadwe "A baby? Is it-?"

Shroobz scoffed and laughed "Oh god no at 24?(Idk his age so im guesstimating xD) hell Nah, I’m still in my partying years. It's Laffen's; said he adopted him."

Fred looked at him with skepticism "With how rowdy your friends are?" Shroobz laughed quietly, "Yeah man, that was the first thing I asked."

Scoob started becoming excited as he whined, trying to jump up on Shroobz as he quickly backed off.

"Hey Hey! Scoob Heel!!"

Scoob whined and sat down, his tail wagging frantically. Shroobz laughed softly and knelt down "You can meet Nadwe if you are nice and don't bite his face off please."

Nadwe looked at Scoob as he came closer, sniffing him all over.

Nadwe fussed and whined as Scoob backed off, alert. Fred pulled Scoob back and looked at Nadwe "Is everything alright?" Shroobz stood back up and bounced Nadwe gently "Yeah, he's just been fussy since Laff left him with me. He would take him to the meeting room to work, but the superintendent ass is with him and you remember how he felt having his own grandkids come to the office."

Fred nodded "Right, they distracted everyone from working and kept them locked in his office all day…Man, he is not good with kids."

Shroobz set Nadwe down on the floor and chuckled "Makes me surprised he even has kids. Poor bastards must have been hell growing up with him."

A third officer came over "Hey um, Shroobz? Do you have those signatures I need for the...you know?"

Shroobz smirked "The petition to vote Chalmers out? Yeah, I left it in the break room cabinet where he would never find it." He looked at Fred "you don't mind watching Nadwe for a minute right?" Fred shook his head and smiled "Course not!"

Shroobz nodded and followed the third officer out. Fred then turned around and noticed both Scoob and Nadwe were gone.

"....Fuck"

Meanwhile, in one of the larger meeting rooms, Laff was standing in the middle of the room with two investigation officers by a big cork board and Superintendent Chalmers off to the side, watching them.

"This the latest reports of homicides in the surrounding area Mr.Gas. File #1 occurred around here-" the investigation officer on the left placed a thumbtack on the map hanging on the corkboard. "-and files two and three both occurred five blocks down the road."

Laff scratched his chin "Any identification on the victims?"

The other shook his head "No sir; all three heads were cut off, their hands sawed off, and as much as I am uncomfortable to admit this; their privates were shaved too."

"How old are the bodies?"

"A couple of days. We've already gathered blood samples for mitochondrial DNA testing; we are just working on finding the victim’s families.."

Chalmers growled from the corner "Well FIND them, you dumbasses!"

One of the investigation officers scratched his head "It's kind of hard if there is no face to put on the news.."

Laff let out a hum of agreement "These lowlife bastards are cutting off the victim’s heads, hands and nearly violating their privacy to ensure the victims cannot be identified. I haven't ever encountered any cases such as this.." He rubbed his head "Couple of sick sons of bitches."

"We did manage to recover one of our only leads from every single scene. Someone spelt out "B.T.S" in the victim’s blood on the wall or ground beside the bodies."

'B.T.S'...

"Hey, I've heard that somewhere!" The other investigation officer exclaimed, "It's from the 'Holy-Service' commercial that airs at night!"

Laff's eyes widened "Mate, you don't believe people are taking that scam seriously??" One of them shrugged "Unfortunately someone living by my parents has. My father told me about a Nutso neighbor that kept exclaiming his brother-in-law was a vampire. The next week rolls on by and he says he hasn't seen him since."

Laff facepalmed "Oh my LORD people are taking it seriously!"

Chalmers got up and walked over "So we are aware that these murders are being committed by an organization known as 'Holy-Service' that is affiliated with some pompousass super-team known as 'B.T.S'." He groans "This is a cult-like Koresh all over again."

“We could put out some patrol cars on the lookout for anyone that could be associated with B.T.S or the ‘Holy-Service’, but without any leads that’s kind of hard.”

“And we can’t really tap into others phone lines since that is considered illegal.”

Chalmers growled “I don’t care! Just fucking take care of it before things get worse!”

Laff nods “Of course sir-!” He was interrupted by the door opening on its own. Everyone in the room turned around and saw Scoob walk in, carrying something wrapped in a blanket. Chalmers stuttered “W-WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS-!?” Scoob set the bundle down as Nadwe squealed happily.

Without thinking Laff instantly picked Nadwe up. “Nadwe!? Mate what are yous doin-”

“Mr.Gas?”

Laff froze in place as he was nervous about looking back. Shroobz suddenly appeared in the doorway “Hey Laff! Do you know where Nad-we...” he noticed Chalmers expression.

Chalmers took his hat off and rubbed the bridge of his nose. “What did I tell you about the policy of children at the workplace?”

Laff closed his eyes and let out a nervous, quiet sigh.

-oh fuck me…-

Sitting inside the new superintendent's office wasn’t as comfortable as it was for Superintendent Hider. The atmosphere was dense, nerve wracking, and quiet. Tapping his foot, Laff waited anxiously for Chalmers to return; holding Nadwe in his arms as his breathing was unsteady.

Nadwe cooed quietly and held onto his deer.

Sitting beside him, Shroobz chuckled softly and rubbed his head “Relax Laffen, you’re one of the best workers on the force so there isn’t any way he would fire you.”

“I-I know-! I know, I’m just-...anxious.” Laff shuddered. “Meeting with Chalmers is harder than meeting with Hider-! And i actually liked Hider, Shroobz!” Earning a chuckle, Shroobz shook his head “Man just relax, it’s gonna be fine. Besides I’m in this mess too since I tried to cover the fact you brought Nadwe with.” Laff groaned softly as he heard the door open.

Chalmers walked in and sighed quietly “Mr.Gas, attention, now.”

Laff was quick to stand up, holding Nadwe tight in his arms. “Y-Yes sir-?”

Chalmers sighed and looked him dead in the eye “you are lucky I’m letting you off with a warning.”

Laff blinked in surprise, shaking his head “I-I’m Wha-?”

Shroobz leaned back in his chair “Told youuuuu.”

Chalmers fixed his hat “And...seeing how you don’t have enough money to afford a sitter with you bringing your son to work, I’ll put the word forward on your raise. Just as long as THIS-” He waved his finger around to gesture to Laff and Nadwe, “Never happens again; understood?” Not wasting any time, Laff instantly responded “O-Of course Sir-! G-God mate-Thank you Superintendant!”

“Can I get a raise?”

Chalmers glared at Shroobz “Your bum ass already works 12 other jobs you don’t deserve a raise.”

Shroobz huffed and leaned back “Fair.”

Shaking his head, Chalmers looked at Laff “You’ve got the rest of the day off Mr.Gas. Now get out of my sight before I change my mind.”

Laff was quick to nod and walk out of the office, shaking from excitement from the good news as Nadwe babbled happily. -Oh mate-! I can’t believe how this day turned out so fruitful!- Nadwe squealed softly and giggled.

“Really Laff? You got a raise??”

Laff nodded as he paced in the hallway “Yeah mate! Chalmers have never been so kind before! Bringing Nadwe to work wasn’t such a bad move..” Socks laughed quietly and scratched his head “Well, Me and Meme are still sorry that we didn’t come home earlier, w-we were just having a really fun time and-”

“Did you two did the-”

Socks blushed deeply “AH NO NO LAFF W-WE DON’T NEED TO SAY NOTHING!!” He laughed nervously “Whatever happens out of town stays out of town, right?? T-That’s the rule, right???”

Laff stifled a chuckle and nodded “Yes mate, that is the rule. I won’t ask nothin’.” He tilted his head “but does this trip outta town mean you and meme are a thing now?” Socks laughed nervously and messed with his sleeve “A-Ah...Well...maybe?” Chuckling softly, Laff smiled “Hey though mate, you two are really cute together; I think you twos would be a good match.”

Socks smiled softly “that’s really nice of you to say Laff. I actually need to go, I really need to pay attention to the road.” He laughed quietly.

“Ah mate, what have I told yous about that?”

“Oh shut up Laff you don’t even have a car.” Socks laughed and hung up.

Laff chuckled softly and put his phone away before walking back into his apartment. He closed the door softly since Nadwe was sleeping in his bassinet. He looked around and picked up a few stray books as he listened to the TV play.

It changed to the commercial for ‘Holy-Service’ with Syce on the screen.

“Hello! My name is Syce! And I am here tonight to inform you about the horrors of UNHOLY CREATURES!” He waved his hands before gesturing to a screen behind him “Unholy creatures include Werewolves, Sirens, Kitsunes, Literally ANYTHING that can shapeshift, and most importantly; VAMPIRES. These creatures can hide anywhere at any time! So it is your best interest to keep your eyes peeled for any unnatural occurrences!”

Laff groaned softly and shook his head as the commercial droned on.

-Syce, you’re just gonna get yourself killed..-

He kept straightening up the living room as the TV kept playing, taking into account every detail about the commercial. It wasn’t until the list came to an end that Laff became somewhat intrigued.

“Vampires are one of the most elusive creatures to ever exist! Including their unholy offspring with humans; known as Dhampir! If humans and vampires crossbreed, it could mean WAR! BLOODSHED! AND DEATH!” Syce proceeded to mimic the echo of the word ‘death’. “THANKFULLY, The creation of a half vampire has been unheard of for the past 20 years! And it is BEST to keep it that way! On the off chance you believe there is a vampire in your home; HERE are the list of mysterious powers they have!”

Syce proceeded to pull out a chalk board and set it up with a pointer. “Vampires are ULTRA sensitive to sound! The SLIGHTEST floorboard creak can set one off!”

Laff tilted his head -floorboard…?-

“They are also immortal, have super strength, agility, regeneration, and they can take control of other animals! So if you assume that there is a vampire, or worse yet; a HALF HYBRID, call our hotline now and we will dispose of them in god's divine manner!”

Laff stared blankly at the TV as he started to collect some of the key points. Half vampires could be in the sun without being hurt, having a heightened sense of sight and sound, and can control animals. This...almost correlates with the strange effects going on as of late. Nadwe wakes up instantly if the floorboard in the room creaks slightly and the strange behavior of the station's best trained K-9. It was almost like…

“...Nah mate, can’t be.” He shook his head and set down the stack of books on the counter as he walked into the kitchen. He then stood still for a moment before glancing back at his room.

-...right?-
