The Agency Pt 6 <Doughboy>

"Mommy mommy!" the girl screamed as she woke up from her sleep.

The girl's mother rushed into her room, "What's wrong Bessie?" Her mother asked.

"There is a monster under my bed, it attacked me," the girl said crying.

"You know there are no such things as monsters Bessie,"

"But this was real, it was big and hairy and scary like a big dog and it bit me, look."

The mother was paralyzed in fear at what she say, a very large bite wound like that from a dog. 8 Year old Bessie had been terrified of dogs most her life ever since she was bitten as a toddler and for months have complained of the monster dog under her bed, a monster that until now Mrs. Johnson didn't believe was real.

The girl was rushed to the emergency room where doctors agreed it was a dog bite and from a rather large dog, perhaps a pit bull or rottweiler but there is no way any dog could have been in Bessie's room. A police report was filed as well just in case a stray dog is found that is some how breaking into homes.

The agency got a hold of the police report as it does all police reports. Agent V was called into his bosses office, "Agent V I have a new case for you," he placed the report in front of the agent and he thumbed through it.

"You want me to look into a dog attack?" The agent questioned.

"Not just any dog attack agent. This is an odd case. No way a dog could have been in that room, and the girl just so happens to be terrified of dogs as well. In addition we sent an agent to question the doctor who looked at the child. He admitted it's a dog bite but left something out when talking to the mother Mrs. Johnson, this bite is far too big to be from any normal dog. Find out what bit this child and put a stop to it."

Naturally the first thought in the agent's mind was werewolf but no werewolf would ever dare attack a child, and they don't just bite and leave, this has to be something else but what.

The agent flashed an official looking police badge to Mrs. Johnson and asked to have a look around the property. The agent found no foot prints, scratch marks, diggings, droppings or any sign of animal activity at all on the property.

"Officer did you find anything?" Mrs. Johnson asked.

"Nothing, do you mind if I look around your daughter's room?"

The woman showed the agent to the child's room where she was currently playing. "Bessie, this is officer Sims," that was the name on the agents fake badge, "He is going to look around your room for a bit so let's leave him alone in here."

"Actually if you don't mind I would like to talk to Bessie as well." The woman agreed and stayed in the room with the agent and Bessie. "So Bessie, tell what did this monster look like?" the agent asked as he was looking under bed.

The shy little girl said, "Well, it was very big, had a big fangs, and it would come out from under my bed and scare me. Last night is the first time it ever attacked me, it bit me as I screamed and ran back under the bed."

The agent emerged from under the bed and asked, "Did it walk on two legs like a person or on all fours like a dog?"

"All fours."

"Do you think you could draw me a picture of the animal?"

The girl nodded and got out her color crayons and some paper and scribbled out a picture of what looked like nothing more than a very big dog.

"Excuse me officer, but why these questions, the doctor told us what bit her?"

The agent looked at the drawing and answered, "Just some follow up questions that's all." He stood up and then asked, "Do you mind if I see the bite wound?"

The mother was reluctant to remove the child's bandage but agreed. The bite was on the girl's lower leg, as if she was kicking at the animal and it bit her, and it looked like nothing more than a regular dog bite aside from the over sized wounds.

The agent thanked the two for their time and walked outside into his unmarked car and drove off. "I don't know what to make of this one boss," he said over bluetooth headset. "From the bite wound, girl's description of the animal, the drawing she made and what the doctor said to the other agent it appears to be a very big dog, only thing is there is no evidence a dog was ever in that room or on that property."

"Whatever it is, we must find it and stop it before it attacks again and if I were you I would keep a look out on that house, it might appear again."

The agent agreed and hung up the phone. The agent had never had such a case before. He dealt with mutant animals before but none that could appear from no where.

Later that evening another police report came in that the agent was called to investigate. It was in the same theme as the other case. A man who was terrified of bees was rushed to the emergency after he called 911 about being attacked by giant hornets. When paramedics arrived they were surprised to see no hornets on the man's property and even more surprised at the size of the sting wounds. Unfortunately the man died in the hospital.

"Agent V, whatever this is it is starting an epidemic, this must be stopped right away!" His boss exclaimed loudly from the other side of his desk. The agent hardly gets yelled but this is turning into a very odd and very deadly case.
