"I-I... Grh... I just need more time! Okay?!" I shouted on the phone as the detective on the other in of the phone sighed, "You're losing it... It's been months now, Fox... These tapes have no meaning behind them, probably just some high schoolers prank okay?" He murmured to me as I played the latest tape... "... There has to be some deeper meaning... Listen, we know these kids went missing on Mount Ebott, that's a fact... We can't jus-" "It happens every few years, we now how poor Ebott park security is... Just drop it... Toby, listen... There's other cases out there that need your attention, you're one of our best detectives... There's a couple of other smalltime crimes you can focus your skills on..."

".... No one on the force is gonna blame you for dropping it... Just label it an elaborate prank......" "But... But-..." The tape repeated in my eyes as I started it, "But nothing... There is no Monsters under Mount Ebott... There is no human soul magic... It ain't nothing, okay?... And most of all, those missing kids... They're long gone... The best we can do is send a search party out for that Frisk kid... They're the only one that has any chance of survival.... It's still recent..."

I sighed and put my hand over my head and took a long deep breath... The tape ending again with some sort of vague horror shown on screen.... Unable to tell if it was real or fake.... I sighed on the phone and rubbed the area between my eyes, I hadn't slept in days...

".... Alright... I'll... I'll give it one more night... If I can't find anything by daylight.. I'll drop it okay?" I said, as the detective agreed, "Good... Got a case with your name on it... Car crashed off a bridge into a lake without a body being found... Some serial killer was in a chase wi-" "Yeah-Yeah... Just send me a doc over it-" I said, "Goodnight-" I added on before I closed the app on my phone and placed it on my desk....

It doesn't make any sense though... Why post 4 Tapes about missing children and monsters underground..... What kind of kid would get a laugh from that?... Leaving them in bizarre places for people to find... Or police.....

Over Kids legitimately missing..... It's near diabolical.... What's even more strange... Is the lack of persistence.... We got a decent chunk of tapes in the span of 1 month... 4 Tapes... Each with different knowledge to give to us....

But now... 2 Months later... The trails gone cold... Not a single tape to add to study... No more information over monsterkind... It's like... Whoever was making them... Gave up.... Or was stopped....

Without enough information to continue I.... I just can't keep going on....... I picked up my document titled "The Ebott Tapes" And closed it, grabbing a paper clip to close it shut as I put it in my files.....

As I began to leave my office, my little white dog barked as I nearly forgot he was there, I gently put my leash around his neck and closed my office down for the night... Locking it as I walked my dog home for the night....

"Whatdya think boy?... Think it's all just some prank or... I don't know... Game?..." I asked, as my dog barked, I sighed and walked home with him... Glancing up as I noticed some weird darkness begin to cover up my line of sight...

"What the-" I held my hand out as the darkness began spreading. My eyes widening as I picked my dog up.... Some odd sort of shadowy prescence filling my vision as I began scampering off, running, trying to outrun the endless void, my dog began barking anxiously in my ear, annoying me as I tried to focus, "I-I'm trying over here, boy, I'm tr-" I wasn't fast enough, as the darkness consumed my vision, the void consuming not only me but the world around me....
