Chapter 108

Does he find someone? Or does something happen?
A police incident
Hunter's eyes are caught by the flashing blue and red lights of a police cruiser a couple of blocks away. Curious, he strolled in that direction, still mulling over the events of the day and what the rest of the evening might bring.
As he got closer he saw that it wasn't just one cruiser but several, and yellow tape was stretched around an area of sidewalk. A growing crowd stood outside the tape, watching the officials inside the cordon and chattering to each other.
"It was horrible," a woman says, her voice aghast. "She was all torn apart!"
"Did you see it?" another asks.
"No, but someone else did, and that's what they said. Look at all that blood."
Hunter saw a black tarp covering a shapeless lump on the sidewalk. What seemed like several gallons of dark fluid puddled around it, and his nostrils caught the hot metallic scent of fresh blood. His eyes flickered over the figures inside the tape. Most were either cops or obvious technicians gathering and labelling evidence. His eyes were drawn to the one figure that seems out of place, a young man being interviewed by two bulky men in sports coats. He looked distraught, and kept casting shocked glances at the tarp covered shape, as if hoping it would disappear.
Something about him seemed familiar, and Hunter frowned as he tried to place him, his ears straining to hear what he's saying. His enhanced senses allowed him to make out the word "fiancé" and "here on a trip with her parents." The words were like a key and Hunter's mind clicked as he realised where he'd seen him before, and who the figure under the tarp was.
It's the girl he saw at lunch in the plaza. The tourist. The one he saw just before that other lycanthrope Lucinda approached. Sensing something, Hunter's eyes quickly darted around the crowd, and quickly singled her out.
Lucinda was not staring at the unfolding scene, but staring right at him, a cruel and feral smile on her face. She flicked a glance at the tarp covered body, then looked at Hunter, her smile broadening as she licked her lips and sneered.
Does he chase her? Ignore her?
