||Chapter 70: A Slow Sunday||

Aaron tore the kitchen role, holding a tissue to his nose to stop the blood.
"Well, least it wasn't a bloody nose caused by your sleeping sister."
Mya shrugged,"I did apologise.", Nicky sighed, least they were able to get him here before the nosebleed possibly got worse.
Nicky shuddered, hearing the rain and wind, the wind was really picking up and the rain was coming down hard.
"Horrible weather."
"Yeah. . ."
Aaron sighed,"I dunno, how some people sleep through this. Dad I understand, he takes a lot of medication to sleep without being woken up by the sound of the tiniest sound.", Nicky nods, Mya somewhat shivered as the wind really began to hit and almost sounded like a clap of thunder.
They may be in the middle of a storm again.
"Well. . . It is, what? 7ish? I think it's okay to have breakfast and watch TV until my family wake up."
That relieved Mya, so they all got bowls of cereals and drinks, moving to the living room to watch cartoons.
Aaron paused, his phone pinging and opening it, it was a text from Maritza.
'Sorry if you're asleep or I woke you, just wanted to let you know this whole thing is really getting to Trinity.'
'She's struggling to sleep, I think the fire, break in, chase and you know, after everything from a few years back she's really tense.'
'Not your fault, just an update as me and Enzo are talking to her, I know you're focusing on Nicky and Mya keeping them calm'

Aaron nods.
But, what was Crowface looking for and why?? Who was it under that costume???

When Jay woke up, he heard the TV on and worried for a moment he potentially left it on before going to bed.
But no, he found the 3 kids watching cartoons and having breakfast.

It was early in the day, windy as heck but Molly and Leonard were looking for things in the store for Halloween.
"Oh, let me just grab something back in a sec."
Molly went off, Leonard minding the cart and looking around the store that was now buzzing with people and Halloween Decorations-
Leonard paused.
Down the aisle, not far from his wife was a familiar person.
A green sweater or vest that mafr them stand out, brown hair and all too familiar smirk.
Hard to miss him, he was trying to catch his eye and his smirk was filled with confidence and anger.
"Hey excuse me could I get-"

Molly jumped, hearing something crash and turning around her husband was standing over a man-
"OH MY GOD BLAKE!"
Blake sat up slowly, knocking some products away from him that broke his fall. . . Somewhat.
Holding his face, where he had been punched by the Mayor.
Madison rushed to him, his cheek was bruised and there was a nasty cut.
Leonard was frozen, turning back to aisle. . . He was gone.

In the back of the store, Madison examined the injury.
"It's definitely bruised, will do for a while. . . This cut, may have been from the ring."
Blake nods,"I see. . . Your husband can pack a punch, that hurt like hell now that. . . It's setting in.", Molly bowed her head,"I'm so sorry, I have no idea what happened.", Blake waved his hand,"It wasn't your fault, I probably startled him. . . He looked a little lost.", Molly looked at her husband, noticing he fidgeted with his hands and was looking around.
"I'll make it up to you, Blake."
"Don't worry."
Madison cleaned the cut, getting a plaster over the cut,"You're lucky he didn't hit your eye.", Blake nods, lucky him. . . Supposedly.

Leslie was watching TV while Keith spoke with Ike and Norman, going over the notebook that Trinity found.
"Okay. . . Lot of big or complicated words in this, but very nice drawings."
Ike nods,"Sounds like Robert, he's the reason we have the vocabulary we do and he was really good at drawing.", Keith nods, putting it down,"I figured you two knew more or could help more, considering you two. . . Uh. . .", Norman nods,"Makes sense, and what have you uncovered.", Keith stood up,"Well, a pattern I've been noticing is that, shit seems to hit the fan on Thursdays. See here, Miguel getting attacked by squirrels, The Buzz Saw Accident, Trinity's Medical Shock; Thursday. The Blades House burning, Thursday and the break in of The Peterson's; Thursday.", Norman nods,"I noticed that too. . . Is there something special about Thursday?", Keith checked his calendar, looking down the row.
"Halloween lands on a Thursday this month, and to my knowledge no other events are happening this month."
Ike nods,"So, Crowface and The Cult are planning something for Halloween, which is bad considering the fair is back in town and. . . The only thing I can think of is the missing people that would vanish from there, back in the day.", Norman nods,"Yeah. . . That's what I can think of as of this moment.", Keith nods, taking his hat off,"Same; But this time I want to be more prepared, I want this to end once and for all, not have to live in fear of these people coming back.", Ike and Norman agreed, they wanted this to end too.
Norman remembered Gorden yelling as he was shoved into the police car, promising this wasn't over but it felt so. . . Distant, he just barely heard as he fell and was caught by Ike.
Ike tapped Norman on the shoulder, he rested his hand on his shoulder to comfort and to bring him back to earth.
Then a racket came from the other room, Leslie stumbled away from his desk before muttering how he needed air.
. . .
"Is Leslie okay?"
Keith shrugged,"Dunno, he won't tell me anything but he's been distracted more than normal and drinking.", that was odd.

Mr Peterson finished screwing on the last door and took a step back.
"That should do it; New doors, will throw out the old ones and new keys, I'll give a back up key to The Roths if anything happens.", Jay nods, Diana folded her arms,"And no trapping the house.", Mr Peterson nods, Jay turned to Diana,"Trapping the house?", "Yeah.", Mr Peterson put his tools in his bag,"There was a time period, I was very paranoid to the point of trapping my house, my aunt's house and to my student dorm; I've gotten better, but even before the paranoid I always had an interest in traps, probably because of Scooby Doo.", huh, the more you know.
From across the street, Saul was getting the kids excited for decorating for Halloween.
"He's really nice, great with kids; Has kids of his own?"
"No, no, not married or has any kids of his own. . . But yeah, he's an amazing uncle and brother."
Mr Peterson nods.
