Elsey walks into the local bar, The Tricky Mister, and asks her old buddy Cyrus to pour her a drink.
"Something girly," she asks him. "Something the boys will laugh at."
She smiles and looks around the room. She thinks about who else might walk into the room tonight. She turns back to her girly drink and waits for Sir James to arrive, as he undoubtedly will at some point.
Just then, the front door opens and in walks....

Sir James stopped abruptly and grabbed his bottle of expensive perfume. He sprayed Rivergallery several times, then slowly breathed in.
"Ahhh, much better" he sighed and looked at the two women standing over the now unconsious Bella on the floor.
"What was all the haste Sir James, it's so unlike you to be in a hurry to get somewhere" Elsey remarked pointedly.
"Where is that coin that that remarkedly good looking woman gave you?" He asked her.
"We were just discussing it" Rivergallery said as Elsey held it up to the dim lighting of the bar.

Sir James takes the coin from Elsey and examined it closely.
"Just as I thought" he murmered to himself
"My dear Elsey, we must get to Tomas! Last time I questioned him about a suspect all he would say is 'the howling wolf will come at full moon'. I suspect he may have more answers for us"
"Good work Sir James!" Elsey said as she lead the trio out the door.

Tomas's shop smelled of incents as Rivergallery pushed open the heavy wooden door with her right hand. The trio looked around upon entering the shop. On the large sitting rug they saw one very huge gigantic...

dog.

Oct-1-2004 17:46

The dog's hackles went up and he began to growl menacingly. Elsey slipped behind Sir James, trying to hide from the scary dog. Slowly, Sir James reached into his pocket and threw something over the dog's head. The dog went running, and Elsey saw that Sir James had thrown doggie biscuits. She looked at him, shocked.

"You just Happened to have dog biscuits in your pocket?!"

Sir James shrugged and contiuned into Thomas's shop. Rivergallery followed closely behind the two of them. They tiptoed through the building, looking behind shelves and seeing where Thomas could have gone. He was usually right out in the front, near the door and waiting for customers.

Oct-1-2004 22:30

Moonshh, stealthily following on tiptoe, unbeknownst to the other three, is worried that the reason why Thomas hasn't asked her to do a favor - yes, the last favor she needs for a treasure hunt - is that he has been bumped off himself. Could it be? Wouldn't Thomas have seen this dire event coming?

Oct-2-2004 17:00

Elsey hears a floorboard behind her creak under the slight weight of something or someone. She slowly peeks around behind Rivergallery and sees nothing. The 3 continue walking and soon come to the door that leads to Thomas's private quarters. They knock, hearing no reply, Sir James tries the doorknob. It turns, the door squeaks open, and they enter slowly, fearing what they might find.

Moonshh, still following stealthly, watches them enter the private quarters. Seeing that they had left the door open, she knew that she could enter as well, not worrying about the squeak caused by the door hinges.

As she enters the back room, she feels someone put one arm around her body and the other hand over her mouth.

The unknown person then whispers, "Don't scream, and I'll let go of you."

Moonshh simply nods, scared to see who it could be who grabbed her. She turns around slowly and finds it was Elsey who had grabbed her.

"Why were you following us?" Elsey demands.

Oct-2-2004 19:45

When Moonshh realizes it's Elsey who is holding her, she sags with relief.

"Oh, I am so glad it's you," she says. "Thomas' friends keep getting bumped off; he has asked me to investigate five murders in the last week! And while I don't mind doing him favors, I must admit I was peeved when he wouldn't tell me anything about the treasure I am looking for. You'd think five favors would be enough, but noooooooo. I have to do another favor for him now, or he won't tell me anything. And now that these five friends of his are gone, I'm afraid I'll never get to do him another favor; I don't think he has any more friends left...

...besides us."

"Uh oh...wait a minute! We could all be in danger, just by being here, ourselves!"

Just as these words leave Moonshh's mouth,

Oct-2-2004 21:47

Elsey hears a high pitched scream. She and Moonshh run toward the sound only to see Rivergallery alone in a room. Elsey and Moonshh look at each other and give questioning looks.

"What happened?" Elsey asks Rivergallery.

"One minute he was here, the next minute he was gone." It dawns on Elsey and Moonshh that Sir James is missing.... again!

"Oh, geez, not again," Elsey sighs. "Sir James is missing AGAIN!? Perhaps..." She pauses for dramatic effect, "Perhaps Sir James is responsible for all of the missing people!"

Rivergallery and Moonshh look at her like she's completely lost it.

"No, I'm serious," says Elsey, "when was the last time you saw Sir James in one place for a long period of time? Perhaps he's slipping away and murdering people on the sly! He DOES have all those people out there who look JUST LIKE HIM, so just because you THOUGHT you saw him, doesn't mean it was REALLY him."

Being the new girl in town Daisy thought it would be neat to get her palm read. She walked into the shop. The wind blew her long red tendrils around her face. A man ran by knocking her into the door frame.

" Hey!" She yelled. " Watch it Buddy." She watched him run down the street thinking to her self How rude.

At the Shout Some people came running into the front Parlor.

" Hi, I'm Dai.... She stopped and looked At the three girls. She missed her friends back home so maybe she could make new ones. She cleared her throat and started again.

" Hi I am Daisy. You'all Just missed this crazy guy that ran right into me."

" Where did he go." Elsey Asked running towards the door.

" It looked like he was going to that Bar down there."

They all ran out leaving Daisy behind.

" So much for making new friends." She said a little sad.

Not seeing anyone in the shop she turned and left walking towards the Bar.

She didn't see the Shadow lerking int he ally way. He watched her and walked slowly behind her keeping in the shadows.

" DAISY " he whispered in to the wind so it would carry to her.

Daisy whipped around but didn't see anything.

" Your next on my list little one."

Daisy freezes she isn't one to be bullied but of course she isn't stupid either. She turned on her hill and ran the rest of the way to the Bar.

Digging into her pocket she pulled out her fake I.D and Jabbed it under the Bartenders nose heaving for a breath.

" I need a Fuzzy Navel Pronto." She said in Gasps. She realized she didn't say please and knew if her mother was still alive she would have gotten the evil eye.

" Please." She said making a point to draw in one last steady breath.

She looked around. Not knowing anyone she walked to a booth and sat down. At that moment the dooe opened and came in a really cute guy.

" Hmm Wonder who that is?" She said to her self.

Walking behind him wasanother cutie and a real pretty girl.

She watched as they scrambled up to the bar. She could tell the girl was underaged. Underagers know there own. She chuckled with the thought.

Oct-8-2004 01:25

The Bartender gave them their drinks and asked the first guy that walked in to take the Fuzzy Navel to the red head in the booth. He turned and Smiled a killer smile when he saw her. The group strolled over and the cutie put the drink on the table.

Daisy looked at him with a sheepish grin. and scooted over in the booth so the group could fit in with her. She was determined to make some friends.

" Hi my name is Daisy. Have a Seat. And what are your guyses names"...........
