"Watch out!" Rick shouts. "This is where a big lug in an executioner's outfit offed my friend. Also keep your eyes peeled for a man in a scarecrow costume. He's about your height. Your build. Your.... ulp!" Eyes?
Rick now believes that he was just picked up by the scarecrow.
"Y'know, I killed a werewolf today."
Rick hopes he can be more interesting alive than dead. He sings.
You bet, you had it all, when jackals made Jackals made Jackals made You had it all when jackals made me crawl Always attacking me
Leaving me broken and dissolute dissolute dissolute But I have the key And I opened it at Ravencroft Institute

"Great."
Andrew steels himself for what's to come, he holds the steel rod in front of him, waiting for whatever got her to come towards him next. He takes careful steps forward. Whatever was coming was something he would have to deal with, and deal with with what he had.

Andrew slowly walks over to the black hooker and she begins to stir. It looks like she tripped on the debris on the ground near a stairwell going down. She moans. She might be hurt!

The silence in the car after Rick's little song was unnerving. Those eyes may be from the scarecrow, but Rick can't be sure. They remind Rick of someone else. Maybe someone older. Maybe Rick knows this cop's dad? Passing the car you notice the bodies are gone, The Hangman and Scarecrow are gone, there was just a broken down car.

"Here, let me help you up," Andrew says, getting her back on her feet. He still keeps the pipe in hand, ready for something to jump out at them.

"That's the car. Those are my Sun Chips on the ground, and I think that's my blood, but it could be our driver's." Rick says pointing. "Whatever you do... do not go out there. Do not even roll down the window. Not only are there killers out there, but Angelica unloaded an entire bottle of perfume. It's sure to reek to high heaven!"
Seeing as the cop did not turn around to say 'Boo!' or laugh in a creepy way, Rick started to feel more comfortable. Well as comfortable as a college kid can feel covered in his own blood locked in the back seat of a police car.
"Hey, sorry for my weirdness. It's just I lost a lot of blood. I think it's leaking mostly from my brain. However, if I stop talking or singing I'm afraid I'll never wake up. I really need to see a doctor. Y'know, you look kinda familiar. I don't know many people around here, so at first I thought you looked like the guy who disemboweled my friend Steve. However, now I think you look more like the old guy who sells corn at the gas station. Do you know Mal?"

Andrew helps the woman up to her feet. She is out of it. " Thought I saw something looking at me. It's not right. You... I mean we need to go down there." She points down at the stairs.

The policeman doesn't react. He just keeps on driving. Passing Mal's corn. He follows the dirt road around the corn and pulls up to the asylum and parks next to Mal's truck.

The stairs loom down. Andrew gulps. "You're right." He makes his careful steps down the stairs, holding the girl, and brandishing the iron like something's going to jump out of the darkness.

"I'll take that as a yes since you just pulled in next to Mal's truck." Rick says. "My friend Andrew might be around here somewhere. As far as I know, he's still alive. By the way, when I last saw Mal he was with a young black lady. The two you really have to worry about are a guy in a scarecrow outfit and a hangman-type with a hood over his head. I'm pretty sure the homeless werewolf guy is dead."
Does Rick ever shut up? Not while he still has 2 red stones of Health he doesn't.

Andrew begins his decent down the stairs into the darkness. Halfway down he hears a sound from below, like little feet. one more step, Andrew hears the squeak of rats.

The police officer gets out of his car and lights up Mal's truck cab with his flash light. He opens one of the back doors to the cop car, but leaves Rick inside. He unlatches his gun and walks toward the madhouse.

Rick stumbles out of the police car and follows the cop. [There is no cost to move under 5 mph. (MURPG guide pg. 80)]
In a hushed whispery voice, Rick whines. "Hey, don't leave me alone to die. You've got a gun. All I got is a bloody T-shirt. The least you can do is bandage me up before you go freak-hunting. At least give me an asprin or something for the pain. Please!!! I promise to give to the Policeman's Ball next year. I swear I will... on Angelica and Steve and Erik and ummm... that other guy's grave too!" Rick just wishes he knew where they were buried. It's bizarro that their bodies are gone. Maybe upstate New York is being invaded by pod people.
Rick could really go for those Buffalo Wings right now.

Careful steps in the dark.
"It's ok, it'll be fine. We'll find a safe place to hide. For now."
But would it be fine? Andrew didn't know for sure. He kept nervously cautious about everything, including the rats.
"I hate rats."

SLASH!
All Andrew used to see was black, now all he sees is red. Holding the black lady tight, Andrew cautiously descended into the blackness. The sound of the rats became loud and agitated. Suddenly Andrew saw two, barely-visible, red orbs, shining up the stairs and then he was raked across the face.
OOC: I think this is another death. I did 10 Red Stones to Andrew. After your 2 defense 8 Red Stones gets through. That's 3 White Stones! Dorkknight, thank you for playing. I am sure the viewers will love your death. Please PM me with any comments and I will divulge any clues as to what you were up against. Again, thank you.
The Red fades to black
Rick hobbled after the cop, who was already well ahead of him. Rick tries to get him to stop, but the cop just keeps on going. The cop walks up to the front door and looks through the slats. Whatever he say made him run around the building fast, to the left.

'Cop cars have bullet proof glass, right?' Rick thinks to himself. 'They at least have to be claw, pitchfork and noose proof.' He figures.
Rick hustles back to the car as fast as he can. First he tries to see if the officer left the driver's door unlocked. 'Please, oh please, let it be unlocked with the keys in the ignition. I swear, I'll not only give to the policemen's ball, but dedicate my life to law-enforcement if that's the case.' Rick already has a similar background as a resident advisor, so this isn't as fivolous a promise as it might seem.
If the two front doors of the car are locked, Rick will try the trunk. If everything else is inaccessible, he'll shut himself into back seat again. (After checking that once the door is closed it can't be reopened from the outside without a key.)
[OOC: I know this is probably more than Rick can do in one Panel, but I wanted to let you know what the plan was and you can tell me what happens. Thank you.]

Going back to the cop car Rick finds that only the door open is the one the cop opened, which is the back door and like all police cars, this door, once shut can not be opened from the outside without a key. So what does Rick do?

Before locking himself inside the police car, Rick decides to check if Mal was less dilligent about protecting his vehicle. He peeks into the truck to see if the keys are dangling from the ignition. Hopefully, they are.
