"Are you certain of what you are telling me now, Mr. Rufford?" Councilman Everett questioned the man who sat opposite him with a desk between them in the council office.
Ben slammed his clenched fist against the desk as he leaned forward and said through gritted teeth, "I am dead serious, Sire. You can prove this if you take your men to investigate them all. Those people are not humans, just like I told you the last time I was here. You didn't find any wild animal in the forest, did you?" he asked, looking at the lawman across from him, who sighed and used his thumb and index finger to massage his temple like he was having a headache.
"There was no wild animal, but we can't just go into people's houses without proper evidence on your claims that you suspect they are responsible for Miss Dayna Foster's death. I have kept men in disguise around the house for days now and there was no unusual behavior from them that indicated they are not humans," Councilman Everett said.
