||Hello Neighbour: A Better Timeline||

||Chapter 60: A Plan In Motion||

Beatrix sat in her cell, looking at her hands as her mind was going wild.
So The Forest Protectors killed The Investigator? It wasn't Otto??
He wanted to scream, cry, shout. . . Something! Memories of how Quentin and her would spy on Otto, call the cops on him and even to this present day. . . They hurt him.
Beatrix hid her face in her knees, God why was she and Quentin such idiots!?
"Now then. . ."
She glanced up, Crowface was standing though was twitching all over from the shock therapy they used.
"Trinity Blades has the coin; She is our current target, minus Lucy Yi and The Peterson Children, and the adults themselves."
"Given what happened at The Theme Park, so many members and leaders were arrested so we need to change tactics here."
Beatrix remembered that all too well, how everything came out that day from Gorden getting exposed to then the entire neighbourhood making sure those Cult Members didn't get away and were taught a lesson, guess they didn't learn or those that remain hidden that day.
"There is the concern of the other kids, constantly going in The Theme Park for Go-Kart riding."
A member nods,"And not to mention, the Roth's kid sleeping walking around.", Beatrix tensed at that, remembering an instance of that but his mom had quickly found him and directed him back to bed.
"Yeah, there's that. . . He could be an easy kill, make it look like an accident-"
"NO!"
Beatrix jumped, though the Cult Members did too but they turned their heads to Crowface, the one that shouted that, in possible surprise at the reaction and. . . Maybe even Crowface was too.
His outstretched hand, he lowered, his body language possibly uncertain. . . Maybe surprise of what he yelled.
He didn't have any problem when the other kids were brought up. . . But then when The Roth's son was brought to the table.
Crowface twitched, clearing his throat,"I have. . . Other plans; Given we lost a lot of Members after Gorden, Gale and The Old Mayor, and others with that Theme Park, I ask that you all instead give me some time to think. . . By the 10th, I'll have my plan in motion but. . . Leave the Roth Kid out for a bit, I need. . .", he trailed off, then walked out muttering something about needing air.
. . .
"That. . . That came full chest. What was that reaction??"
One Cult Member let out a gruff,"I don't know. . . It's been off lately, more hesitate to get stuff done.", Beatrix was confused, scared and worried.
But. . . Now she was more intrigued about Crowface, who or what was it and why was it helping them??

Crowface walked through the woods, he was. . . Conflicted.
He shouldn't be though, this was no different from killing cops, children or anyone; Why is he having seconds now, why is he holding back now?!?
He stopped.
Kid 12 O'clock.
. . .
Approaching, it was the Roth's son sleep walking.
Slowly approaching him, clearing his throat to be able to Mimic his father's voice, he picked up the boy and began to walk back to the neighbourhood.
"Let's get you back to bed. . ."
Adjusting his grip, and adjusting his cloak so the boy wasn't cold but. . . He didn't know why he was doing this, but he was; Every now and then he'll find this kid sleepwalking into The Theme Park, The Meadow or just walk aimlessly into the woods.
So. . . Sometimes he just carries the kid back to bed.

Climbing into the window carefully, taking off his mask so it wouldn't fall and risk waking his family.
He put the kid in bed, tucked him in and moved the teddy closer to him, the boy immediately held it close and seemed to be at more comfort and smiled.
. . .
Crowface climbed out the window, putting his mask back on before disappearing into the night of Raven Brooks.
This town will soon have to face their next plan.
