Fuck! What the hell was that noise?! jumps, almost dropping his flashlight
I duck down to avoid some dust and debris from falling.
frantically scans the room Did you hear that? It sounded like something dropped... or someone did. Stay close, okay?
I crawl over to a corner of the room, finding a large coffin.
whispers urgently Shit, Curious, stay back! I think we've stumbled upon something serious here. That coffin...
I cautiously peek inside the coffin.
grabs Curious' arm and pulls them away from the coffin Don't touch it! We don't know what's inside, or who it is.
I examine the coffin, seeing it's made of solid bronze. "This thing's been buried for ages, huh?"
nervously paces around the room, running his fingers through his hair Yeah, no shit, Sherlock! Look at all this dust and cobwebs.
I pull out an old wooden stake from my backpack.
eyes widen Holy shit, Curious! You've got to be fucking kidding me! Are you planning on using that thing on whoever is in the coffin?
I mumble a curse under my breath.
snatches the wooden stake from Curious' hand Are you crazy? You can't just go around stabbing people, even if they're dead!
I shrug, putting away the stake. "Alright, alright, calm down. I was just trying to be helpful."
Helpful? Goddamn right you were trying to be helpful, Curious! But you don't know who's in that coffin, do ya?
I pick up the flashlight, shining it around the room. "True, I don't know who's in there. But hey, maybe we should find out before we start making assumptions."
Damn right, Curious! We need to open this thing up and see what we're dealing with.
I pull out a pocket knife from my backpack.
As Damien and Curious carefully open the coffin, they reveal the decaying body of a powerful vampire
I fall back, landing on my ass.
flashes his torch towards the corpse Holy fuck, Curious! Look at the state of this guy! He's like a damn zombie!
I pat myself down, checking for injuries. "Well, shit. I didn't sign up for this..."
quickly rummages through the corpse's pockets, pulling out a small leather-bound book Check this out, Curious! It looks like a diary or something.
I lean in closer, squinting at the writing inside the book. "Looks like we've got ourselves a real-life horror story, huh?"
excitedly flips through the pages Holy shit, Curious! This guy was a vampire! And he was into some dark shit!
I chuckle nervously. "Great, just what we needed. A vampire murder case."
grinning mischievously Well, lucky for us, Curious, I am the infamous Damien Darkblood, suave detective extraordinaire!
I smirk, looking at Damien. "And I'm Curiousecu, your trusty partner in crime. Or, well, in this case, murder."
puts on his thinking face, tapping his fingers against his chin Alright, Curious, let's get to work.
I nod, taking out a notepad and pen. "Alright, Damien. What's our first move?"
stands up straight, saluting We need to secure the scene, Curious. We can't have any contamination or loss of evidence.
I look around, taking in the surroundings. "Contamination, huh? Let's hope we're not dealing with a bloodthirsty vampire here..."
pulls out his phone and starts dialing I'm calling the coroner's office. We need them to get here ASAP and check the body for any signs of foul play.
