Late Phases Page #3

- Like a mountain lion? Or a bear?

- More like a dog.

- You're sure?

- Yeah. I could smell it.

- You've been in Crescent Bay a while?

- No. It's our first night.

Mr. McKinley, we get phone calls

once a month about Crescent Bay.

The police ask us what could do

something like this.

It's actually a very common thing.

Once a month?

This has happened before?

It's a secluded community.

Town basically ends there.

And the woods begin.

Sometimes I'm surprised

it doesn't happen more often.

It's a terrible location.

Even with the gates.

What do you think, Doc?

Does it look like a dog

did this to Shadow?

In passing.

Are you kidding me?

The whole point that we came out here was

so that they were going to take the dog.

We can't take that in my car.

It's a company car.

- He was supposed to leave the dog here.

- Okay. Stop that, Will.

Hi, Ambrose, I came straight from work.

I'm so glad you're okay.

Anne, which car are we taking?

Are we taking you

to take a new guide dog?

No. I'm taking Shadow home.

Dad... seriously?

Yeah. I can take care of myself.

Now, which car are we taking?

- Speed limit's twenty...

- I know it's twenty-five. I got it.

Fine.

There's a lot of cops here.

Let me get you inside. I'll come back

and figure out what's going on.

I want to see the cops.

No. Let me get you

in the house first. Please, Dad.

Just take care of the dog.

I'll see you in a minute.

Please, Mrs. Kaye.

You really don't

want to go in there, Mrs. Kaye.

Let us take you down to the station

and finish your report there.

Oh, for God's sake! How long

does it take you people to do your job?

I just want to get this over with

and move on with my life, okay?

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Are you alright, sir?

Yeah. I was attacked last night.

- Are you Mr. McKinley?

- Yeah.

Excuse me for one second. Excuse me.

Miss?

- Yeah?

- Is Delores your mother?

She was. Yes.

Well, I'm sorry.

She seemed like a nice lady.

Thank you.

God, this place.

I should have taken her out of here

the moment I heard the stories, but...

there were so few options and I swear

I never thought she'd... I'm sorry.

You know the woman

who used to live here?

I only met her once.

You guys need a statement from me?

No, there's no need.

It's just an animal attack.

You got any leads?

Suspect may have sharp teeth.

Hey. Hey.

Sir, attacks like these happen all the time

around wooded areas like this.

The problem is the elderly

can't defend themselves.

So we suggest during the day

you don't walk by the perimeter

of the woods if you're alone.

And at night, please, stay in your house,

keep the doors closed

and the windows closed

until we sort this out. Okay?
