Wednesday and Xavier are teachers at nevermore now. It's been ten years since their last interactions due to an event of the past and maybe it's time they repair a lost friendship that may even be more.
~MENTIONS OF MATURE THEMES~
Wednesday, Miracle, and Enid arrived to the Weathervane, Enid volunteering to drive and quickly Wednesday headed towards the entrance which looked to be taped off by yellow tape.
"Enid be on the lookout for any familiar faces."
"Weds what's going on?"
"Someone tried to kill Rose and Xavier and I'm pretty sure that's who killed Tyler, I need to see the Sheriff."
"Also Miracle is my daughter and her father is Xavier along with Rose being Xavier's father as well."
"Is wavier back?"
"Wavier?" Miracle chirped in.
"Yep she's yours alright Wednesday.
"Addams!?" A gruff voice called out.
Wednesday looked around for the voice and it turned out to be Sheriff Gaplin. Wednesday walked towards the entrance signaling for Enid and Miracle to follow.
The three entered the restaurant coming face to face with the sheriff.
"I'm terribly sorry for your loss Sheriff, I know Tyler was turning his life around." Wednesday said looking hr sheriff in the eyes sincere in every word.
"Thank you Ms. Addams, he told me about your grace and heart being big enough to give a second chance and I appreciate that, it really boosted his s-spirits." Gaplin said choking on the last words.
Wednesday could only stare and pull Miracle a little closer as she stared at a parent going through what she believes is the worst pain ever.
"Anyways I'm glad you're here, I was gonna have to call ya in anyways."
This alerted Wednesday as she looked a bit confused. "For?"
Gaplin sighed before he began. "Well our suspect left behind a photo."
Miracle began to write in her notepad, causing the Sheriff to look at her suspiciously.
"It's just homework." Wednesday said quickly speaking up for her child.
"Ok anyways our suspect left a photo behind, it appears to be an older worn out photograph."

"Death is an easy price to pay for hurting her."
Wednesday was frozen looking at the picture, she had not the slightest CLUE what was happening now.
"I have to ask Ms. Addams, are you seeing anyone?"
"Well yes, my high school sweetheart Xavier Thorpe."
Gaplin reached for his radio. "I need the file on a Thorpe, Xavier... prime suspect in a 10-67 at the Weathervane."
"My father didn't kill anyone." Miracle said stepping forward.
"If it's true little girl, you have nothing to worry about... now let the grown ups do their job."
Wednesday began to feel her anger rise. "Listen sheriff I'm sorry this happened but you will NOT talk down to my daughter."
Enid stepped up grabbing Wednesday's arm.
"This isn't called for, it didn't help us the first time and it won't help this time. We know Xavier's innocent so there's no need to worry." Enid said trying to cut the tension.
"Yea we'll se about that." Gaplin said skeptically.
The sheriff looked back down at the picture. "I still meed answers Addams... I want you and Thorpe down at the station at 8 am sharp."
"This discrimination of pinning the blame on an outcast when you know damn well your son was an outcast is disgusting and unjust." Wednesday was fuming.
"Go somewhere and make a speech or be quiet, there's no discrimination... I'm doing my job."
"Oh like you did last time?"
"That's not fair..."
"No what's not fair is the charges you're trying to bring against Xavier with no EVIDENCE at ALL! Talk about unjust justice."
"Wednesday we should just leave." Enid said trying to slowly pull her out of the cafe.
Wednesday looked over to Miracle bending down to zip her coat up.
"Don't want you to catch a cold."
With that the three exited the Weathervane and headed back to Nevermore. .
Wednesday, Miracle, and Enid returned to her apartment texting Xavier on their way there. They walked in and went over to the living room area.
"I have a strange feeling this killer is trying to frame Xavier." Wednesday said pacing around.
Miracle leaned over to Enid a bit. "Was she like this last time?" Miracles whispered to her aunt.
Enid looked towards Wednesday nodding. "Yea she loves a good investigation."
"Will you two focus??!" Wednesday said in a stressful tone.
Knocking coming from the door interrupted the exchange. Wednesday quickly walked towards the door checking the peephole before opening it.
Xavier and Rose entered the apartment and Wednesday turned heading back to the living room.
"Well hello to you too." Xavier teased entering the apartment.
"AHHHHHH!" Rose exclaimed as she ran towards Enid startling everyone and tackling the woman into a hug.
"Rosey Posey, it's so good to see you sweetie." Enid said hugging back.
"Enid?" Xavier said looking at her like he'd seen a ghost.
"Hey Xavier, it's so good to see you." Enid said moving to hug Xavier.
They embraced for a while as Xavier closed his eyes and just let the embrace take him away.
"If I didn't know any better I'd say you two have gotten pretty close." Wednesday observed.
"Yea it wasn't easy for me... when you left that is." Xavier started looking down feeling the tears well up.
"Xavier stop, let's not travel back to that time, it was tough for all of us." Enid said giving Xavier one last squeeze before releasing him.
"Alright reunion time is over, it's time we get down to serious business." Wednesday stated.
"What exactly happened Wednesday?" Xavier asked.
"The killer left behind a picture and I'm afraid if we can't come up with a suspect they're going to arrest you Xavier." Wednesday explained.
Xavier's eyes widened along with Rose's.
