On the Case

THREE WEEKS LATER

A black sedan sat parked outside Leonard's house in the midday sun as two agents poked around inside. Down in the basement, agents Julia and Brianna surveyed the wreckage of the scientist's experiment.

"So do we have any idea of what it was he was working on?" Julia asked, sitting on her haunches as she shined her flashlight on the destroyed casing.

"Not particularly. After we started getting reports of strange events happening in the town, Mr. Jacobs was brought in for questioning, but couldn't tell us anything useful." Brianna replied as she tried without success to activate the dusty desktop seated on a table a few yards behind Julia.

"Where is he now?" Julia questioned as she stood from the rubble.

"We let him go. He's back at his parent's house taking some time off. We might actually offer him a job depending on how this search goes. Of course, you would know all of this if you actually read the briefing they sent." Briana raised a disproving eyebrow at her partner.

"I read the important stuff!" Julia protesed as she stood, dusting the dust from her slacks. "Besides, that's what I have you for." Julia smiled and Briana rolled her eyes.

As they made to leave, Julia too one last look at the lab. "Hey Briana, you ever get a weird sense of Deja Vu?"

Briana glanced back over her shoulder. "Sometimes, why?"

Julia furrowed her brow as she looked at the lab. "Ah, it's nothing. Let's head into town to figure out what we're dealing with."
