The scene returns to the murder scene in the upstairs apartment. Blake Madison has finally decided that his safest alternative is to call the police and direct them to Muller's body. Two detectives have proceeded Madison into the apartment. They have found only mangled clothing scattered on the bloody carpet, with singularly strange bloody footprints leading out through the window and down the fire escape. The prints appear to be of a four-footed creature. The back paws have seven toes each, the front paws three toes each. As if that is not enough, the front paw prints appear to have claws with barbed tips. Detective first class Joe Kawalzki leans in a door way, his palm clasped to his forehead. "Keerist, Madison", he moans; "Do you ever get involved in anything that doesn't turn into a friggin' nightmare??"
