What is that noise?

EEERRrrrteeeTrrSkrrssh

It's almost like nails on a chalkboard, but --

THUNK

but what the hell is that thudding sound? Like something hitting a wall...

Manning, Director of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense, is on the trail of a mystery. He pops another antacid as he walks down the hallways of the Bureau, following the strange screeching noise that detoured him from heading to his office.

He turns a corner just in time to see the tip of a red tail disappear around the bend.

"Hellboy?"

His eyes narrow and he picks up the pace, reaching the end of the hall and turning, stopping in his tracks when he gets there.

THUNK

"Crap."

What he sees is Hellboy from the side, and the big red ape has just slammed Manning's desk into the door jam of an open storage closet.

"Hey!" Manning shouts and Red looks up.

"Crap."

Hellboy turns his attention back to the desk, Manning's desk, and starts forcing it through the door.

"Hey! Hey, stop! That's my desk, you -- "

Dropping the roll of Tums in his hand, Manning starts to run.

Red works more earnestly and shoves the desk with much noise, and probably damage, through the door. His tail snakes around the door hand and pulls it closed behind him just as Manning arrives.

"HEY!"
