Look for batteries
From Create Your Own Story
You look for batteries. Even a non-traditional scientist would have batteries around, right?
You look in cabinets and under benches, but find nothing. This is taking too much time. You hear another crash of thunder, and mad laughter. It's coming from outside! You rush to the window just in time to see a carriage racing down the path. He's getting away!
Not like you can do anything about it, though. You keep investigating the lab for anything interesting. Aside from some questionable machinery, all you find is more notes.
Finally, the door bursts open. The man you met at the door earlier is there with a few others. They take stock of the scene. "Melissa! The doctor got away, and Klaus got the monster. We're going to burn this place down so he can't continue his work. We need everyone out. You covered this area?"
"Yeah." You reply.
While you exit the castle, you wonder how exactly they're planning to burn a stone castle. As you leave, you see a couple people dragging a huge yellow-green and brown corpse out of the woods. That would be the croc-bear.
It's been a crazy day.
Two weeks later, you're back in the states. Your activities in Romania have caused your boss to suspend you while they investigate, so you have a lot of extra time on your hands. You find yourself often going back to the notes you picked up from Doctor Kreuger's lab. Your high-school level knowledge of biology is really not sufficient to understand this stuff, but what you do understand seems crazy and kind of fascinating. You're thinking of enrolling in a couple courses at the local college to get a better feel for it all.
Life brings you some strange turns sometimes.
