Eve Windmere, the sheriff of a small rural farm town, heard a knock at her door late one night. Upon seeing who it was, Eve opened her door and let in her deputy, Claire Farrell.

"I've solved it, Eve!" declared Claire.

"Solved what?" asked Eve.

"The sheep stealing case," said Claire.

"Claire, I ordered you to drop it," Eve said sternly. "There are bigger cases out there. Plus, it's late."

"Look, this will only take two seconds," Claire said as she held up a file and later opened the curtains to get more light in the room. "I have proof that it was an inside...job."

Claire paused and suddenly saw a flock of sheep outside in a fenced area, while a full moon appeared in the night sky.

"Eve?"

"I told you to drop this case!" Eve snarled as she suddenly flashed yellow eyes and fangs, which was followed by her muzzle extending and her clawed hands being covered with hair. Claire expressed horror over her sheriff not only being the thief, she was also a werewolf.

"After all," the villainous Eve stated, "a girl's gotta eat." Eve slashed Claire's throat with her claws, and gave a demonic howl afterwards.
