I'd like to hear your theories on this case,” Sheriff Saucier said.
 
Badon was hesitant.
You won't like them,” he warned.
 
I don't like anything about this case.”
 
Very well, if you insist. These creatures are after selected women of the parish—a few at a time—for breeding purposes.”
 
My God!” The Sheriff couldn't believe anyone could be so calm when discussing something so ... disgusting as monsters breeding with women.
Are you serious?”
 
If you check the old police files,” Badon continued coolly,
you'll find that—beginning about 1840, women who lived near the swamp began vanishing mysteriously, one at a time. But the more recent records indicate it's four or five women at a time, usually over a six month period.” He waited for the Sheriff to absorb this before he went on,
Many of the women are tourists, not local people. This leads me to believe that the creatures have help from the locals.”
 
Why, in God's name, would a normal human being want to help these ... monsters?” The Sheriff cried.
 
Badon smiled.
Because they are related.”
