Case number: 232960
Date reported: May 18
Crime scene: Ravens Pass High School football stadium
Civilian witnesses: Mark Gannon, age 14; Alex Reid, age 14
Disturbance: Mark Gannon and Alex Reid, eighth-graders at Ravens Pass Middle School, somehow managed to summon two ancient demons into our realm.
Evidence: The Ravens Pass football stadium was torn to shreds. Additionally, after some investigative research on the Epic Warriors trading card company, I discovered that the company’s CEO had several ties to a local Ravens Pass cult that practices black magic.
Suspect: Tyler Wulfe, CEO of the Epic Warriors trading card company
CASE NOTES:
AFTER THEIR DUEL WITH A PAIR OF DEMONS, MARK AND ALEX APPROACHED TYLER WULFE TO TALK TO HIM ABOUT THE DANGERS OF HIS CARD GAME. INSTEAD, WULFE HAD THEM EXPELLED FROM SCHOOL AND CHARGED WITH VANDALISM OF THE FOOTBALL STADIUM. THAT’S WHEN MARK AND ALEX CAME TO ME FOR HELP.
I PAID TYLER WULFE A SURPRISE VISIT. AT FIRST, HE SAID HE DIDN’T HAVE TIME FOR SOME CRAZY DETECTIVE. BUT WHEN I SAID I HAD PROOF THAT HE WAS PRACTICING BLACK MAGIC, TYLER QUICKLY CHANGED HIS TUNE AND INVITED ME INTO HIS OFFICE. AS I ENTERED, HE HANDED ME WHAT HE SAID WAS HIS BUSINESS CARD. AS I EXAMINED IT, I SAW THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY A BLANK EPIC WARRIORS TRADING CARD. STARING AT THE CARD, I FELT A STRANGE PULL TOWARD IT. IT SEEMED TO BE CALLING TO ME. I’D SEEN THIS TYPE OF THING BEFORE — AN ENTRAPMENT SPELL IS EASY TO IDENTIFY, IF YOU KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR.
I FLIPPED THE CARD OVER JUST IN TIME. WRITHING AND SCREAMING, TYLER WAS SUCKED INTO THE TRADING CARD. THAT’S WHERE HE’LL STAY UNTIL I CAN CAPTURE THE OTHER CULT MEMBERS AND BRING THEM TO JUSTICE.
DEAR READER,
THEY ASKED ME TO WRITE ABOUT MYSELF. THE FIRST THING YOU NEED TO KNOW IS THAT JASON STRANGE IS NOT MY REAL NAME. IT’S A NAME I’VE TAKEN TO HIDE MY TRUE IDENTITY AND PROTECT THE PEOPLE I CARE ABOUT. YOU WOULDN’T BELIEVE THE THINGS I’VE SEEN, WHAT I’VE WITNESSED. IF PEOPLE KNEW I WAS TELLING THESE STORIES, SHARING THEM WITH THE WORLD, THEY’D TRY TO GET ME TO STOP. BUT THESE STORIES NEED TO BE TOLD, AND I’M THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN TELL THEM.
I CAN’T TELL YOU MANY DETAILS ABOUT MY LIFE. I CAN TELL YOU I WAS BORN IN A SMALL TOWN AND LIVE IN ONE STILL. I CAN TELL YOU I WAS A POLICE DETECTIVE HERE FOR TWENTY-FIVE YEARS BEFORE I RETIRED. I CAN TELL YOU I’M STILL OUT THERE EVERY DAY AND THAT CRAZY THINGS ARE STILL HAPPENING.
I’LL LEAVE YOU WITH ONE QUESTION—IS ANY OF THIS TRUE?
JASON STRANGE
