A detective that took over the case looked at the new murders that were happening. The homeless population was getting reduced and new visitors to the town were also found mutilated. The killers have to have good local knowledge and after consolidating all the information on the map, the map looks like a scatter diagram with<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(147, 101, 184)">Mirkwater</span>in the middle.<br/><br/>"Since the killings were religious and have an occult undertone, I need to meet some experts to learn more," the detective said. Over the next few days, the detectives were out talking to anyone with occult knowledge, from various tarot card readers to the owners of occult shops it was a casual meeting and some of the experts were paid to share information. After overlaying some ley lines on the murder maps, it was clear that the murders happened at specific places strong in energy and<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(147, 101, 184)">Mirkwater</span>was where all the lines meet.<br/><br/>==========================================<br/><br/>Tawny just completed her ritual with a few out-of-town reporters and saw a police car outside and a plump man visiting the "Mystic" that was run by the cultist. She waited for the man to leave and went to the other cultist running the place.<br/><br/>"I think the police are looking into leylines and our safehouse may not be safe," Jen said. "Do you have any safehouse on leylines with people inside?"<br/><br/>"I think Jake and Heather were trying to summon something last week, and it required 13 sacrifices, maybe we should check with them?" Tawny said and quickly got on the motorcycle with Jen to meet Jake.<br/><br/>==========================================<br/><br/>It was an old house outside the city with a well on the outside and thick woods around the house. Tawny parked the bike at the back of the house and met up with Jake and Heather. "I think the police are on to something and investigating the leylines," Tawny said. "This is on a major leyline and the police may be coming to investigate."<br/><br/>"The owners have been sacrificed long ago," Jake said. "What can they possibly find?"<br/><br/>"Did you complete the ritual?" Tawny asked.<br/><br/>"A few days back," Jake said. "We sent the demon to aid our sister in Mirkwater."<br/><br/>Tawny looked around the house, Heather was rather good at cooking and created various spices and broths from the rituals to attract spirits and shadows. She opened the refrigerator and saw jars of organs sitting in bottles.<br/><br/>"Look, what if the cops find this?" Tawny said.<br/><br/>"Why would they come out here?" Jake asked.<br/><br/>"Because you are on a leyline!" Tawny said.<br/><br/>Flashing blue and red lights can be seen outside the house and 2 uniformed policemen were outside in the police car.<br/><br/>==========================================<br/><br/>Inside<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(147, 101, 184)">Mirkwater</span>, a young lady with dark eye rings was sitting on a chair, rocking back and forth. "Ok, activity time is over..." A fat guard said. "Go back to your cell now!"<br/><br/>The young lady seemed to ignore the guard and did not seem to hear what he said. "I said, playtime is over, go back to your cell... NOW." As the lady continued to rock back and forth in her chair, the guard grabbed her hair and yanked her out of the chair and threw her on the ground.<br/><br/>"Don't hit me..." She said and suddenly realized she was on the ground. "Please don't hit me..."<br/><br/>The guard kicked her and laughed as she fell again. "Be more alert, so you don't get hurt..."<br/><br/>All the other ladies simply watched as the young lady staggered to her cell. She looked really tired like she had not slept for days, and she probably may not last much longer here in<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(147, 101, 184)">Mirkwater</span>.
