"Point taken", said Sibern and looked out the window.

It would be dark soon, and the rain had yet to settle. He didn't know if the others could feel it, but he had a bad feeling about this case. Although the deaths of the victims was nothing in comparison to what he had encountered during his earlier cases, there was something about this whole sordid ordeal that made his stomach crawl. Something wasn't right. Something was amiss... What it was he couldn't pinpoint, but just had a bad feeling that something was emerging... Something... evil...

"Sibern?" asked Kira and put her hand on the top of his.

"Hmm? Yes? What?" he replied, when he noticed that the others had been expecting him to say something.

"Are you... alright?"

He shrugged. "All of you should know by now, that when it comes to me... nothing is alright. But I will be happy to listen to that research of yours, Kira."

"Uhm... fine", she said.

She could tell by his expression that he withheld something from them. Some personal reflections, perhaps? But nevertheless something he really should share with the rest of them.

"I have been studying these... documents our lates victim was writing, and I must say that some of them gave me quite the goosebumps."

"Folklore, huh?" said Sibern and took a deep breath.

"Yes. The last thing he seemed to be working on before he died was some sort of local legend about 'the Pale Man'."

Sibern nodded. "I read that document before. Made a mental note of it as well, but I didn't have the time to dig too deep into the matter. So, go ahead, Kira. Did you find anything which we could relate to these murders?"

"Uhm, not really. I just... found myself spooked by the contents."

"How come?"

She looked at him and it was clear that she was slightly unnerved. "Because... by reading these documents I somehow got this feeling that there are more to this case than meets the eye. And I can tell that you start to think so too."

Sibern said nothing, but let his gaze wander around to the faces of the others to see if anyone agreed with her opinion.
