The gunshot still echoed throughout the pool room and, while it staggered, the creature was still alive enough to charge at the detectives again. It snarled and rushed towards their dim torchlight view, blood oozing like sap as they were finally able to see whose face it had stolen.
Meanwhile, in the dazzling opulence of the ballroom above them, the party had come to an abrupt halt. The guests ceased their dancing and began to form a large circle as the polished marble flooring clicked and receded, revealing thick glass and two little detectives about to meet their end.
Screams were met with applause and the dancing resumed.
