Wednesday and I were at the Jericho county coroner- medical examiner

Thing had gone through the vents so he could cover the surveillance cameras With black bubble-gum

Dr.Kinbott tell us that we should get out more. Says we need to open our minds to new people and experiences. Who are we to argue with her professional cliches?

Thing had opened door half way as we were standing in front of them

We ducked down as we got in and the door closed behind us

"While we do the autopsy. You find the files of the monsters other victims and make copies" We told thing as she started walking around the room

We heard a loud tap

"Don't pout. Your scalpel skills are questionable " Wednesday told thing

Wednesday pulled out of her tools

"Do you remember on our 13th birthday when uncle fester gave me that cadaver. You slicked right through that man's carotid" Wednesday asked thing

He resigned tao

As she sighed

We both started on different ends of the bodies trying to find the right one

"There you are" we both said in sync as she pulled the cold body out

Wednesday had pulled out her voice recorder "Thursday, 7:23 p.m. The body is that of a 50- year- old male. Lacerations and defensive wounds appear on both hands." She said as she lifted up the cover

Ew

"What remains of the chest and torso indicates a frenzied attack. Subject has been almost entirely disemboweled. This is Curious Subjects left foot is missing. It appears to have been chewed off at the ankle" Wednesday said as we looked at the subjects foot

Thing had came running back as I asked "have you seen a left foot anywhere?"

As thing said using sign language to tell us something but was going to fast

"Calm down.who's coming?" I asked as thing calmed down and told us to hide quick

We put the body back searching for somewhere to hide I point at a storage box it was empty

Wednesday nodded as we both got into the box fitting perfectly

"Appreciate you coming back to the office, Doc." I heard the sheriff say I've hear his voice so many times since I've been here I recognize it clearly

"No problem, Sheriff." The doctor said "whatever I can do to help." He finished

"Whatever or whoever is responsible for these killings... in all of my years, I've never seen injuries like them. I think you should see this before I issued my report on the last ray victim it's a real noodle-scratcher" he said as I hear a door open

"The killer cut off two toes from the victims left foot" he said

The foot was right beside us the whole time shit

"Best guess, they used a surgical saw. The final autopsy reports still pending." The doctor said

"Minute you've done, send it straight to my desk.  Media blackout on the toes." The sheriff said

"Sure thing, sheriff." He replied

"Been a busy couple of weeks, huh? At least I'm going out in style Friday's my last day" he said you could tell by his voice he had a big smile as he closed the door to the fridge

"Happy retirement, doc. " the sheriff said

"Gonna surprise Mrs.Anwar with a four-week cruise excited to trade rob shears for Mai Tais see yourself out. I'll lock up" he said trying to keep the Conversation up said the sheriff left

One thing we forgot to do was...Close the door to the box

The doctor opened it up as he pulled us out

"Ooh look a set of twins.. but I don't remember these two coming in" he said as he touched our faces

"Full rigor. You girls have been dead for a while haven't y'all" he said talking to us even tho we were "dead"

"Guess you won't mind waiting another day for me to cut you open" he said as he smiled and pushed us back in ••••••"Tierra Rica" by Carmita Jiménez"

Enid came over to us as we were looking at our board

"When I suggested giving your side of the room a makeover,  I did not have Ted Bundt's Pinterest in mind. " she told us

"Still not as creepy as your stuffed unicorn collection" Wednesday said as he turned around to look at Enid while I kept on observing the body parts

"Is this why you snuck out last night?" She asked us

"We made an un sanctioned trip to the morgue to copy the flies of the monsters victims " Wednesday said

"Okay, there are so many levels of ew in that statement, and I don't even know where to begin" Enid said

"If I were to go back and take samples of each part that was taken off I could possibly identify the bite marks or the object used to take this off if this is the monsters doing then the bite marks I could make teeth out of it and it should match up" I said putting my hand on the pictures

" we need to get inside its head but y/n that would be a good idea discovered any patterns or anomalies. I've already made a big discovery but after y/n said I think she found out more" Wednesday said as she started taking the pictures off

"Turns out all the monsters victims had have body parts surgically removed the first one a kidney, second a finger third a hall bladder" Wednesday told Enid as o continued thinking

"Wednesday I don't fee" Enid was trying to tell us something

"And the bearded man from the meeting house two toes do you understand what this means? These murders aren't mindless. He is collecting trophies like a seasoned serial killer. It's impressive actually it's like they are trying to make someone or something using these body parts but if it was a monster then someone human is working with the monster if Wednesday said that the monster foot prints turned into human ones" I said putting all the pieces together as I turned around as I heard a thud

Enid had passed out weak stomach

"Fetch the smelling salts. Again"I said to thing•••••"Many carnivorous varieties turn to sexual trickery or deception" Ms.Thronhill told us as she put the plant down

"I tweaked my back fencing" Xavier told us as he grabbed his note book

"The orchid produces a pheromone that mimics a female insect, luring the males in. Now, once the plant is pollinated, what do the males insects get in exchange?" She asked the class

"Nada. Just like all the guys at the Rave'N." Bianca said as all the guys laughed excepted for Wednesday and I

"Okay, okay. I know you're all excited about Saturday, which is why I haven't assigned any homework" she said as the class cheered

"But I do still need volunteers for the decorating committee anyone interested come and see me up here." ms.Thronhill said as students started going up

"You guys are not gonna volunteer? Aren't y'all lined about disco balls and spiked punch?" Xavier said with sarcasm

"There's even a DJ. Mc Blood suckaz." Xavier said

I wasn't paying attention I was still thinking about the monster and what we saw this morning and last night

"I'd rather stick needles in my eyes." Wednesday said but I heard it blurry "I'll probably do that anyway."

"Or you could invite someone and have a little fun" Xavier told her

As Wednesday got up "let's go y/n" she said as I got back into reality

"I'm still waiting for my invite" I said as I winked at Xavier and Wednesday and I left •••••Xavier had walked out out a shed as Wednesday and I were spying on him

"Why are we here again Wednesday" I asked as I rolled my eyes

"We need to do this Xavier didn't get those scratches from fencing he is hiding something and I know you know y/n" Wednesday said with thing on her shoulder as she looked at me

"Is she about to find out" I thought to myself as she started walking in with me following

There was drawings everywhere they were small tho they were big and it's like I've seen it before

Have I seen this monster before

"I suppose every artist need a muse. " Wednesday said as she picked up drawing

"Xavier, you just became that more interesting" Wednesday said

As I grabbed the papers out of her hand

"Wednesday we shouldn't be here" I said as she took the papers back out of my hands and put it in her pocket

"Y/n.. Wednesday" Xavier said from behind

"Xavier..hey" I said as I turned around

"What are you doing?" He asked me as I replied quickly "nothing"

"We just saw you come out this way" Wednesday said

"What is this place?" I asked looking at it

"It's kind of my private art studio I cleared it out, fixed it up, so Weems let me use it." Xavier Said

"I would would love to see inside" I said "why don't you give us a tour?" Wednesday said

"Not right now. It's a total mess." He said quickly

"I shadowed a crime scene photographer last summer I'm not easily phased " Wednesday said

"Maybe another time. Why were you looking for me?"

Wednesday pushed me forward "my dear sister had something to say to you" I looked at her crazy

"Oh what's up?" Xavier asked me "Well I didn't want to wait long and make the first move do you want to go to the Rave'N with me?" I asked quickly cutting off the conversation

"Of course I would love to go to the dance with you i thought you would never ask" he said with a smile as Wednesday turned around as I followed her leaving him there
