Family comes before crime: Spin off the Criminal Case Files

Let them eat cake

I told the team about the place that Raven aka Conor bought for Red and how I do a lot of Red Snow stuff out of this house. Stuff that I do off screen I told them about the neighborhood how Skylar and Red were neighbors how it was a replica of our house but in mansion and I told them about how people can only get in with a code and there was a gate that you needed to use the code for. I used to buzz Raven in never gave him the code but he let me set it. But he hired people to look after it since I wasn't there often enough. One of the big issues about Maple Heights is that Red Snow has to go to all of the events which means I'll have to call in back up maybe a couple of otherwise clones to pull this thing off.

Red needed to attend and my girls know my secret. We would be doing these cases in and out of this house so that we wouldn't be going back and forth no one had the code not even the staff I had to buzz them in from an app on my phone I was the only person that had it and in any case I never told anyone but Justin but I still keep in touch with her. While she did kill a person I think that was all self defense. And with the house I've added stuff to it like there's a place for an HQ made to look like the office with cells and stuff so that it would be possible for us to actually do this in and out of the house where we were at and no one would never know. Bu like I was saying no one has the code including he staff because you never know who you can trust. People like Tess she had me spiraling in the last case Farrah wen into Nightshade mode and a part of me knows that I made a big mistake that I know I gave a part of our secret away but you know Ghost didn't come out and scold me about anything.

But somehow Tess was able to get into my head. I turned off my emotions and feelings for a reason on the last case and somehow someway even as Nightshade for lack of better term she somehow managed to like I said for lack of better term cast a bit of a spell on me. One of the reasons why I have a spell on my ring in the first place. Tess IDK she just was able to say all the right things I guess. And she knew which buttons to push which words to say or not to say. A part of me was really upset that she was one that did it and a part of me still wanted to be her friend. Up till she was arrested we were friendly with each other we kept in touch she helped me when my watch was going off and didn't let anything bad happen to me if she wanted me out of the way that would've been the time to do it. At the end of the last case we talked about how I needed to do cases where I didn't know anyone or at least wouldn't be so open to trust all and everyone because I'm way too trusting and I want to see the good in people. Maple Heights is both a good and a bad place for something like that. I know everyone here or well Red does anyways but I don't trust anyone that lives in this area. No one knows my secret except the people I work with.

The night before I called the other two Farrah's in I welcomed Farrah K back since she and the rest of BTR had just gotten back from their tour in London, I told them what I needed from them how I needed back up and I brought Red's team in too we would take turns being Red. Because Farrah and Red had to be in the same room. Agent Winter's had to work these cases. In the morning there was a buzz at the gate that woke us up. And I knew who it was. I buzzed everyone in so we could get started on this new set of cases. And we set up downstairs. My brothers told me they recognized the neighborhood. After King and the team got all settled in and thanked me for hosting I told my brothers they probably did because Skylar used to live down the street and Red saw her all the time when I was out here mostly off screen. And then King held his hand up asked if we heard that. Jones asked what King said exactly. Said that here in Maple Heights silence reigned supreme. He also said we had to be the most discreet we'd ever been. I rolled my eyes and wondered why Jones was here then but I said it in my head so no one else heard it but me.

Not trusting people on these cases was gonna be easy for me. I didn't trust anyone in Maple Heights and I would be doing my best not to talk to anyone when I didn't have to. Tess was hard these people wouldn't be. He'd felt I'd come along way leading my own cases. He said I started from the "bowels" of the city before investigating the "heart" which pumps the economy said I went right into the "soul of the city" and where we had been most recently the "eyes" of the vision of tomorrow. And now we had earned our place here in Maple Heights not that Red hadn't already ironically enough some of it thanks to Conner. King old us that now that we were here we were surrounded by some of the most powerful and important families here and some of them were founders of the city or the part we're in now anyways. He said some of these families had been here for centuries and they had to uphold a certain reputation and that we'd see power at play with the mayor's re-election beginning with his garden party. Now we try this out. I don't want to leave any of them out. I wanted to be there in person as myself seeing as this was the first of these cases. I'd give one of the Farrah's my visitor's badge so she could come into the event and give the other Red's invite to the event. So I (outfit 40) got ready and gave (outfit 41) the other two Farrah's outfits (outfit 42)
