AND DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR BLOG? YEAH! ANY INTERESTING CASES RECENTLY? MMM... NOT REALLY... I'VE HAD CALLS ABOUT DOGS GONE MISSING, SEVEN CATS TOO. AND THEN A MISSING PARROT, TWO MISSING TORTOISES... AND A MISSING HAMSTER! DID YOU FIND ANY OF THEM? JUST MY NEIGHBOUR'S CAT. YOU DON'T SEEM SATISFIED. WELL, I'M NOT.
YOU KNOW I PREFER MONSTERS, VAMPIRES AND ZOMBIES. I WISH I COULD SEE SOME REAL ONES ONE DAY. AND THEN? WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU SAW A VAMPIRE STANDING IN FRONT OF YOU? I'D TAKE A PHOTO! WHY? THEN NEWSPAPERS WOULD PAY ME A LOT OF MONEY FOR IT! SO I WOULD BE RICH AND FAMOUS! INTERESTING PLAN. BUT ARE YOU SURE YOU CAN CATCH A VAMPIRE ON CAMERA? MAYBE NOT... BUT I COULD TRY IT OUT FIRST WITH SOME OTHER MONSTER. DO YOU THINK MANY MONSTERS ACTUALLY LIVE IN LONDON? MORE THAN YOU THINK, MY DEAR FRIENDS!
I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN TO SCARE YOU. MY NAME IS... LON. LON CHANEY. AND YOU'RE KYLE, AREN'T YOU? YES, SIR... DO WE KNOW EACH OTHER? NO, WE DON'T. AND I SUPPOSE YOUR PARENTS TOLD YOU NOT TO TALK TO STRANGERS... BUT I KNOW YOU, I MEAN, I KNOW YOUR BLOG... REALLY? AND I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN HELP ME. YES, BECAUSE NOBODY WILL EVER BELIEVE I AM A... WEREWOLF! I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME. A FEW DAYS AGO... ... I WOKE UP AT NIGHT, I FELT LIKE I HAD TO GO OUTSIDE. MY HANDS WERE COVERED IN HAIR AND THEN... I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING. IN THE MORNING I WENT BACK HOME, BUT MY ROOM WAS A MESS. AND LOOK, I FOUND THESE FOOTPRINTS ON THE PAVEMENT... LOOK... THEY LOOK LIKE WOLF TRACKS... A VERY BIG WOLF! SO, DO YOU THINK YOU CAN HELP ME? OF COURSE I CAN, WELL... I'LL TRY! THANK YOU. IF YOU FIND ANY SOLUTION, PLEASE POST IT ON YOUR BLOG. I'LL READ IT! THEN? SEE YOU... GOODBYE, MR. CHANEY.
SO ? ARE YOU HAPPY? I DON'T KNOW... WHAT? YOU'RE ON A CASE! YOU... YOU WANTED ONE SO BADLY! I DON'T KNOW... THE GUY SEEMED A LITTLE BIT... STRANGE. WELL, IF YOU WAKE UP AT NIGHT HOWLING LIKE A WOLF... OF COURSE YOU FEEL STRANGE! SO, DO YOU BELIEVE HIS STORY? NO. I DON'T BELIEVE IN VAMPIRES OR MONSTERS. I'M SORRY. BUT DON'T WORRY, I'LL COME WITH YOU ON YOUR FIRST ADVENTURE! WILL YOU? WHY? BECAUSE THAT MAN NEEDS YOUR HELP AND YOU NEED MINE! AND THEN, YOU KNOW, HEROES ALWAYS NEED THE HELP OF A SMART AND PRETTY GIRL! YOU SHOULD ADD "MODEST GIRL". SO, BOSS, WHERE DO WE START ? MMM, LET ME SEE... I THINK I'M GOING TO DO MY MATHS HOMEWORK FIRST. CAN YOU HELP ME WITH THAT, TOO? OK, I WILL. THE NEXT DAY. KYLE, DID YOU SEE THIS IN THE MORNING NEWS ? What ?
