The Horrorscope - Episode 38: Burnout in Hellfire

We need to catch those two, says Wasa. I do doubt the fact that they’ll catch the bait and go after your pal, Kei, he continued. What? asks Ken. Don’t worry, Kei isn’t alone. He is with Ram, Pincer and Mary looking for that criminal that went missing, says Wasa. I didn’t even think about it, but why would you send Kei with them? That’s dangerous? asks Ken frustrated. That’s exactly why I sent him, since I couldn’t send you, explains Wasa. Ken sighs as he looks at Wasa asking what he wants to do next. Have you followed their trajectory through town? Maybe we can find their location, says Wasa. I did try. But I do need another set of eyes, which is why I came to see you in the first place, says Ken. Are you okay? You seem so out of it, says Wasa. Yes, it all feels so much, says Ken. I know, says Wasa as he pats Ken on the shoulder. I want to be angry. Since my partner died and I couldn’t do anything about it. I want to feel a certain way, but I just can’t. My mind is simply blank, says Ken. I can’t tell you that I understand it. Each person mourns in his own way, and you were unfortunate enough after ten years and that whole ordeal to lose someone again. So, don’t worry, you can lean on me and others to help you. Come on, we need to catch those fuckers and bring them down before they can do more damage, says Wasa.

What the fuck is with this arrow stuck here? asks Pincer. Look, there are more, says Mary. This is giving me weird vibes, says Ram. You don’t think someone was… says Pincer. Hunted? asks Kei. Yes, hunted… says Pincer. This is quite the way off where the tracker was found, says Mary. Maybe that’s where they got out? asks Ram. Maybe, says Mary. But then why didn’t anyone notice them? asks Kei. Oh, I get it, says Pincer. You’d think someone would notice people dragging people out of the sewers, right? asks Kei. Right, says Ram. So why wasn’t there such a report? asks Kei. Because that’s not where they got out, says Mary excitedly. Exactly, says Kei. They must have went out the same way they came in. You’d also notice someone going into the damn sewers, not just going out, says Mary. Bingo, says Kei. Okay, but where is that? asks Pincer. Why don’t I look it up? asks Ram. Do that, says Mary. Why don’t we do that up, instead of sitting in literal shit? asks Pincer. You don’t want anyone really knowing or seeing you, now do you? asks Mary. Once he finds the map, we’ll think of where to follow and see if we find something, says Kei. Call captain Wasa, Mary tells Kei. I don’t have his number, but I have Ken’s. But that’s a good idea, says Kei.

Kei? Kei are you okay? Ken asks furiously. Yes, we’re fine. Don’t worry. That’s not why I called, says Kei. I have a lead, they both say in unison. You go first, says Ken. Is captain Wasa with you? asks Kei. Yes. Why? asks Ken. Where are you? Can anyone hear you? I want him to hear this as well, says Kei. Hold on a second, says Ken as he goes to close the door with a key and puts Kei on speaker. Done, captain Wasa can hear you, says Ken. So, we’ve found arrows quite a bit off from where the tracker was. It seems whoever came after the criminal, they were having fun and was hunting them. So even in this shit and with rats around, we just might find a clue or a lead to who is behind this. Even though we’re still in a pinch, says Kei. Understood, says captain Wasa. What else? asks Ken. That’s about it. Ram is now looking for a map and we’ll let you know once we know more, says Kei. Good, says Wasa. Here’s what we found, says Ken as he tells Kei about seeing X and Y at his apartment and tracking them down together with Wasa. Found it, says Ram. Well, Ram found the map. We’ll keep in touch, says Kei as he hangs up. Fuck! They might be in danger, says Wasa. What? asks Ken. There’s a rat with them and they might be walking straight into a trap, saya Wasa panicked.
