Rosa carefully pushes the blanket aside with the barrel of her rifle.

Bloody handprints are streaked across the the wall behind the blanket.

Gavric grimaces.

"Let's do the rest of the first floor."

Rosa nods and moves stealthily to the living room and den, taking a good look around.

The carpet and walls of the bedroom are bloody.There’s an overturned dresser and clothes are strewn about the floor. Jonah’s documents confirm he was coming home from a reservist weekend when the storm hit. The keys go to the jeep outside. The living room and den look like a struggle has occurred there.

Gavric takes the lead and moves to the dining room. He makes sure that the sonic weapon is switched on.

Rosa follows, covering him.

Five cars can be seen from the window, the two police cruisers and the jeep don't have snow or ice on them since they came before the storm. There are three large bowls of dog food in the kitchen, but no dogs anywhere.

Gavric

"Downstairs is clear. Let's head upstairs."

He starts moving up the stairs, weapons ready.

"Keep an eye on the dining room entrance," Rosa tells the Sheriff, "in case anything else comes up from the basement. Wherever those dogs are, they may be infested." She follows Gavric upstairs.

Going upstairs you can still see down below. The familiar smell of rotting meat permeates the air upstairs.

Rosa looks into the bathroom first to make sure it's clear.

The curtain is drawn around the bath/shower. Blood is all around the outside of the tub.

Bracing herself for what she might see, Rosa uses her rifle barrel to push aside the edge of the curtain.

The rotting bodies of three large dogs are in the tub, if you had to guess you'd say three labs. The bodies are torn apart like an animal has been feeding from them. There are large apelike hand prints in blood on the tub.

Gavric curls his lip in disgust, and then wishes he hadn’t as pain shoots through his torn mouth.

“That means we likely have more of these things on the loose. Let’s check the bedroom to our left.”

Rosa nods, letting the curtain fall back into place before proceeding to the bedroom.

The bedroom has a carved wooden statue in the doorway, it looks like one of the creatures the agents just killed. It has immaculate detail, especially on the phallus.

The sound from the laptop grabs the agents attention next. There is a webcam video playing. Two women bring in what looks like a homeless man. He seems confused as they start stripping him and taking off their clothes. In the heat of passion, worms come from their mouths and they begin stabbing the homeless man as he screams, even after he quits making any sound at all.

There is a phone behind the laptop.

There are pictures hung up on the wall of one of the girls from the video, papers around the room tell you her name is Tilda Hastings.
