Chapter 25

We called the same driver and he took us back to the Museum. Ginger started texting on her phone and then led us to the back door that we previously used. The same guard that flirted with Ginger met us at the door and led us back to the restoration room. We took the portal back and met the Boss at the other side.

We sat heavily in chairs that had been pulled from somewhere and put into the Boss’ office. After being in this room several times, it still felt just as awkward and uncomfortable as it did the first time. I couldn’t relax in this room, so this debrief better be short. I needed some sleep. Now that the adrenaline from the encounter with the Demon and the zombie raccoons had worn off, I was in desperate need of some sleep. The others looked equally tired.

The Boss paced behind his desk. “I’d like to know what happened and why you all look like some critters handed your butt to you,” he said.

Ginger cleared her throat, “There was a demon too. A super strong shadow demon.”

He stopped pacing long enough to take a seat behind the desk, “Go on. I’d like to hear more about this demon. No mention was made of a demon in the initial report,” he said with a hint of steel in his voice. The Boss liked knowing what was happening and the added danger of a demon displeased him greatly.

Ginger shivered before responding, “He was one of the more powerful ones I’ve ever come across, but I can’t speak for the others. He could create nightmare visions and was found with the zombie raccoon. Also, he seemed to be controlling them?”

The Boss sat quietly for a moment before continuing, “Were these your normal garden variety of raccoons or could they have been some sort of demon? Did you by chance get a specimen sample for Dr. Mendel?”

Ginger pulled out a sealed vial filled with fluid and another with clumps of fur. “Here you go, figured the doctor would want to run some tests. But these weren’t a demon, they looked like mangy raccoons. They were missing patches of fur and their eyes glowed brightly. They also had some wickedly long claws. They had to be three or four inches long.”

“So, the zombies appear to be something new or something contaminated a regular raccoon. I’m not sure that’s an improvement to it being a new type of demon. I would also prefer that to be the case.” He rubbed his hand across his face tiredly, “This means that the demons have found a way to dement animals. So, we now have to worry about demented critters in addition to demented humans. I’ll make the proper agencies aware of this development. The lot of you need to get cleaned up and someone bring the vials down to Dr. Mendel.”

We walked out of the Boss’ office, “You can get some chow and head back to the quad for some rest.
