Fred was curious. She'd been reading the paper and watching the news, as best she could. The appliance store wasn't all that fond of her sometimes, just sitting in front of the tv, catching what bits she could. She hadn't gone near the ClockTower because she wasn't sure she could just go up there without some sort of special reason. So, she stopped by certain internet cafes or the Library, when they let her, and started researching. Something about the animals everywhere seemed suspicious. Angel Investigations suspicious.
She didn't want to try hunting down Jack Heart, and she wasn't sure about anyone else. She wanted to solve a case on her own. Though with the animal population was increasing, she may have to look into getting a little help.
The brainy female, slightly new and improved, was being kicked out of the Library, and she guessed that if she were in any real trouble she could probably make a few "calls" maybe. Of course, in some cases, she would guess it would be her own fault if she got into trouble, but she was determined to solve this. She could do it.
Fred had no idea that her excursion into the Park to document some of the animals would lead her to finding something a little odd. She'd made sure to bring along a stun gun and a dog whistle. Well, if there were wolves...it seemed like a good idea at the time.
"This would be better if I'd thought to bring back up. Next time I should really do that. Then again, how long does it take for something with power to find you? I should really stop talking to myself. New and improved Freds only talk to themselves at home." A pause. "Not that anyone's listening, right?"
