“You still look human to me.”

“That’s because the witch who cast the spell starts with the genitals.”

“So… you’ve got the genitals of a newt now, but the rest of you is human?”

“Yes.”

“I see.”

“So what have we here?”

“It’s an abduction case.”

“How do you figure?”

“Do you see a victim?”

“No.”

“There you go! The victim was abducted.”

“There’s a question I’ve gotta ask.”

“Shoot!” [Gun fire.] “What the hell are you doing???”

“You said shoot, so I’m shooting.”

“I meant ask me your question, and put that gun away.”

“Alright. What’s up with the pile of dead dogs over there?”

“I called the K9 Unit. These are cadaver dogs here to help in the search.”

“Did they turn up anything?”

“Not yet. We’ve given them the victim’s clothes to sniff, but so far no reaction on their part.”

“That’s a bit vexing. What’s the name of the leader?”

“Rex.”

“Come here, Rex. I’ve got a treat for you!”

“Nothing.”

“Yeah, tough crowd.”

“We’ve got to give it time. They haven’t been at it long.”

“Oh, they’re recent graduates of the cadaver dog academy, I take it?”

“Yes, a freshly minted batch of cadaver dogs. Top of their class too. They are excellent at playing the role of cadavers.”

“Well, if those dogs find something, please let me know.”
