The Monster of Piedras Blancas Page #5

Tonight I had the strangest

idea that I had a visitor.

What do you mean?

Nothing really, I guess.

I just had the feeling that

somebody was watching me.

You go swimming alone again at night

and I'm gonna ship you back to that fine

school of yours before vacations over.

- Daddy, you're not serious.

- Yes, you bet I am!

You're really angry.

Better get to bed.

It's getting late.

I'm sorry, Dad.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Jimmy, you don't have to

come to the cemetery.

Okay, Mom.

Mister Kochek!

Mister Kochek!

Hey, Mister Kochek,

where are ya?

Mister Kochek!

Mister Kochek!

Mister Kochek!

Mister Kochek?

We lay these brothers

to rest with this promise...

...that their untimely shall

not go unaccounted for.

As we put them to rest

in the good earth of

their native village

I shall read these words,

for they were men who

lived and died by the sea.

"Oh, most powerful

and glorious Lord God,

at whose command the winds blow,

- lift up the waves of...."

- Murder, murder, murder!

Mom!

Someone's been murdered!

Mom!

Someone's been murdered!

Who is it, Jimmy?

Mister Kochek.

- He's dead. He looks awful.

- Where, Son, where, where?

I went his store to

buy some candy

and he was in

his office, dead!

Mom, he didn't

have any head!

Doc, can you hold them here for a few

minutes 'til I get back to town?

- Ya, ya, sure.

- Come on, Eddie, let's go.

We're not through here yet, folks.

Let us repeat

the Lord's Prayer.

Our Father, who art in Heaven...

This is no place for

women and children.

I'll send 'em home.

Come on, please,

go on home.

Until the doc has

looked at the body,

we'll give you a report.

Go ahead now.

Eddie, put the body

on the counter cloth.

- How'd it happen?

- You'd better have a look.

Eddie, you better

get outside

and get yourself some fresh

air so you feel better.

Okay.

Yeah, and poor little Jimmy

had to see a thing like this.

- Is that Kochek?

- Yeah.

Same way?

A complete transection of all the

veins and arteries, plus the esophagus,

the trachea, and the spinal cord.

I couldn't have done

a cleaner job myself.

And no blood again, Doc?

- Pumped dry.

- All right, that does it!

Now let's have a look around

and see what we can find.

He must have been killed

last night or early this morning.

Now look,

this blob of ink here,

it's completely dry.

Now I'd say that much ink wouldn't

dry in less than 4 hrs, Doc.

What do you think?

- Yeah, I say 4 hrs. minimum.

- Yeah.

I drove by here about 10:30 last

night. The door was open.

So I stopped in to see if

everything was all right.

Kochek said he

had to work late.

It was hot in here and he left

the door open to get some air.
