The man looked over at the officer in question and raised an eyebrow. The officer hung his head and said," It attacked me sir. I was defending myself."

"There you are Sergeant. A simple case of self-defense. Now that the hurkle has been taken care of we no longer need to disturb you . Good day," said the man and turned to walk away.

"Where do you think you're going?! I'd like some answers here. Self-defense? What kind of crap is that? That hurkle or for that matter any hurkle is not going to harm anyone. They're too bumping happy to hurt anybody. And tell me why you were chasing me for. What's so special about this hurkle? Stop walking away from me and answer!"

The man paused as he was entering into his traveling craft. "You are finished with this Mr. Omeric. There is nothing left to find out, no loose ends, no nothing. It's over. Forget you ever saw a hurkle. You'll be a happier man that way." With that he got into the traveling craft and drove away.

Omeric stared after the traveling craft feeling defeated and lost.

"Shame ain't it?"

Omeric turned around to see Ed standing behind him. "Yeah. This crap stinks. Bumpin government agents".

"That's why I got out, ya know. One hurkle, a thousand questions, zero answers. And the department don't like it when you go snooping around after the government guys have told you to but out," said Ed.

"I'm beginning to see what you mean. I'm going to go back now. No need to stay out here now. I'll just take the hurkle back to forensics, see if they can tell me anything," said Omeric.

"I don't think so Omeric. They took the hurkle with them when they left."

He looked around and saw that Ed was correct. "Schwit. Though I shouldn't be surprised. Oh well. See ya round Ed."

"See ya Omeric."
