Giovanni said. "You have mentioned a couple of times that they may be dangerous and I do not disagree, but what then is our duty to do? Should they be rehabilitated and brought back into..."
Giovanni drifted off as something caught his eye to his right. The moment was accompanied by a scratching sound that reminded Giovanni of the old adage "nails on a chalkboard." Another sound, a sort of scuffling, caught his ear as well. Giovanni turned the light to face the wall and what he saw horrified him.
A humanoid type of creature stood before them. It wore a heavy coat and was hunched over. As Giovanni's light crossed it, if lifted a clawed hand to shield it's eyes from the light, giving an angry hiss as the light went past it's eyes. The eyes of the creature were distinctive - almost completely dilated and it's skin was translucent.
Giovanni's words were reactive, "What the hell is that!?"
The creature turned and screamed rage at the two men as it got used to the light. It flexed it's clawed fingers and began to move towards them.
