Violet (VO) And so, it happened. My best friend, Christine Avery, has turned to the darkness of herself. Her sociopathic darkness. She knew that, in some point, in her life, that her sociopathic dark-side, will emerge. So, she thought that she would go ahead and embrace it herself. But before, she did though, Christine Avery had given me her lanyard special agent badge. For safekeeping. So, that means, that she's gonna come back to herself. Hopefully. But not right now anyway. Right now, Christine Avery has become a bad seed.
*~*~*
ARRINGTON ASYLUM
The next day, Craig, Maggie and I had arrived in Scarlett Sweeney's padded cell room.
Scarlett's dead body lays in a body bag with a strangle wound around her neck.
And Christine Avery choked Scarlett to death with a lanyard.
"This is Christine Avery's first time doing this." Craig said, crouches down beside Scarlett Sweeney's dead body. "She could be anywhere in the small town Arrington."Craig, Maggie and I exchange worried looks at each other as he slowly gets up to his feet.
My phone buzzes in my blazer jacket pocket. I pulls out my phone and looks at it.
Christine Avery
I answer my phone as I look at both Craig and Maggie. "Christine?"
"Hi, Violet. And don't worry about tracing this phone number. It's a burner phone." Christine Avery said on the phone.
"Christine, where are you? I'm worried about you." I asked her, worriedly.
"I know you are. But I had to do this, Sweetums." Christine Avery said on the phone.
"Christine? I know you. You don't have to do this. You're a good person." I said to her.
"I'm sorry, Violet. And I am grateful for you for having convinced me of confronting Eleanor Reese. You're my best friend. And I care about you deeply. I have to go." Christine Avery said, and hangs up her phone.
"Damnit." I said, and looks at Craig and Maggie. "She used a burner phone."
"So, what the hell do we do now?" Maggie asked.
"We can visit Cody. He can use his wizard magick. He can sense where she is." I suggested to Craig and Maggie.
"That's a good idea, Violet, Maggie and I will handle it." Craig said.
"Really?" I said, bewildered.
"Yeah, really." Maggie said to me. "Violet, I get that Christine Avery and You are best friends. But right now, she's not herself. And we don't know what she's capable of doing."
