 James McLeroy stayed with the group to keep an eye on their Dover investigation, while O'Shea gathered an "extermination team" to take care of the meat factory. Dover's apartment was underwhelming to say the least. A one-room in a run-down worker's residence about two miles from the factory. After learning from the P.I. that Dover likely wasn't home the group went and broke into his room. One of Dover's guards living across didn't take kindly to that and threatened them with a gun, but Fred bluffed his way close to him and knocked him down. The guard didn't have much information to share. Rosalie however found some books under the bed and spotted a gargoyle-like creature watching the scene unfold before suddenly disappearing. James McLeroy stayed with the group to keep an eye on their Dover investigation, while O'Shea gathered an "extermination team" to take care of the meat factory.

-James insisted on informing his boss, so they all retreated to the nearby "CHECK LATER" speak-easy. While the guys hung at the bar Evelyn and Rosalie studied the two diaries and uncovered some details of the magics that were in play. Soon after the Mobsters arrived to put an end to all this and the investigators joined to watch the attack from afar.+James insisted on informing his boss, so they all retreated to the nearby Wild Flower speak-easy.

 Just as the Irish started their assault, two nightgaunts snatched Evelyn out of the car and brought her into the factory. A somewhat aloof Jacob Dover welcomed her and was happy to use her as a hostage, thinking she belonged to the Mob. Augustus and Fred joined the attack to make sure she gets saved. The fight itself was short, as Tommy-guns made quick work of most of the armed junkies Dover had under his employ. Dover's call to bargain with O'Shea ended with a bullet through his chest, but something was wrong with the black blood that started to gush out. The nightgaunts, now free of their master, dropped Evelyn and soon fled the building. Evelyn herself acted quickly and tried to dissolve the black blood with a nearby water hose.  Just as the Irish started their assault, two nightgaunts snatched Evelyn out of the car and brought her into the factory.

 But it wasn't enough, a mass of pitch black ooze congealed around a pile of old bones that had been left in the stunning pen. Despite being showered in bullets the thing slowly crept towards the attackers and gored one of them with a tentacle wielding a cow skull like a weapon. As everyone started to flee, Evelyn showered the black mass with water causing some damage before running away as well. Once outside, the investigators fled towards the small river just east of the factory, as the black mass slowly dragged it bones along the ground in pursuit. It initially stopped when at the river bank, but after being taunted by several more salves of machine gun fire it attempted to jump over the stream. Some of its tentacles reached the other side, but its main body landed in the stream and it started to dissolve while trying to pull itself out of the water. Left behind was just a pile of wet old bones, soon drifting towards Narragansett bay... But it wasn't enough, a mass of pitch black ooze congealed around a pile of old bones that had been left in the stunning pen.

 +=== Aftermath ===
 +
 +The News reported the incident as a clash between rivaling Mafia gangs, with the established mob coming out on top. Internal police reports recorded unusual traces and dragging marks of unknown origin, but the mob had cleaned up their own casualties and with them the obvious evidences of the Black Bones creature. To them, less drug dealers on the streets seemed good enough reason to not pursue the case strongly.
 +
 +With the supply of the Black drying up most of the addicted went into hard withdrawal. A majority of victims was able to return to their normal lives, but a few sad souls never regained a true connection to the real world and had to be locked away for their own safety. Fortunately, the Black forming the bone creature seemed to have diluted strongly enough to not cause Problems in the Providence bay. Still, there might be pockets of the ooze lingering in the riverbed...
