||Chapter 71: Crowface's Games||

Beatrix grabbed the bars, Crowface ignored her as they were sharpening their knife.
"This game is so interesting already, sloe and steady as it will be Halloween soon."
"Why don't you just kill us all when you had the chance, why wait for us all to heal from The Theme Park, Robert and Adelle's Murder to so much more bullshit you and your cult put us through!"
Crowface stood up, a Raven landing on his hand,"Now where's the fun in that? You see, Beatrix. . . I like games, and I like people in them; Certain people I want to ensure they lose the game, other members give me the hit and I just make it more interesting, a last write off for the soul if you will.", Beatrix couldn't believe what she was hearing,"A game?! So usually, you ruin your target's life and then kill thennfrom a drill gun, hit by a car or burn them alive and you turn all of that into a game?!-", then Beatrix seemed to realise something, Crowface stroked the Raven as he got closer,"Cat got your tongue?", "You. . . Said the game didn't begin until recently of this month, yet. . . You killed that lady that sold the house, the man in the hardware store and Headmistress Valeria.", Crowface nods,"I'll admit, those deaths are different; Some targets tend to be people that need to be dealt with quickly. Over and done with, like hitting that lady with the car after she sold two homes that had bad history such as fires and death, guy in the hardware store? Went against the cult and had to be cut short, gave him a quick death to get it over with. And Valeria. . . Her list of crimes could fill a dictionary, a cranky of bitch and witch that did nothing good for the school or the children.", when talking about Valeria, Crowface's voice was filled with venom.
"So. . . When I killed her, I just made sure the fire would give her a slow and painful death, false hope I gave for her to escape. . . The same false hope she gave to others."
Beatrix shuddered, sure Valeria wasn't a nice lady but it still. . .
"Okay, maybe she wasn't a good person but-. . . You had so many opportunities to kill the kids, especially The Roth's Son, why didn't you do anything when you had the chance."
To that, the Raven seemed to get chirpy or excited at the mention of The Roth's Son,"The Children. . . Well, Trinity played a large part in The Theme Park, helping The Petersons, those kids are digging themselves in the grave and as for The Roth's Son. . . That's a different case, besides you had so many opportunities to tell his parents of his sleepwalking and you didn't do shit.", Beatrix glared at them, but she could feel that Crowface's voice became. . . Somewhat different went talking about The Roth's Son.
"How did you know the layout of the house so well?"
. . .
How did I know.
"The layout felt. . . Familiar to me."

After Crowface left her to herself, Beatrix began to pace the cell.
"Okay. . . That's not a lot to go off-. . . But if they broke into Theodore's house, maybe they weren't looking for anything belonging to Theodore, but rather. . . His Dad."
Beatrix knew Robert had a lot to hide, she remembered how they found stuff hidden in the damn wall.
But. . . If assuming Crowface didn't find what they were looking for, assuming so, maybe they'd check the Observatory or even. . . The Weather Station.
Beatrix gulped, beginning to look around more for any tiny thing.
"I need to get out of here, get to that bloody station before they do. . ."
If she could get out, find Quentin and get the thing before them, maybe they could get the upper hand in this.

"Goodnight kids, try and get some sleep; School night."
Luanne made sure they were in bed, soon Aaron and Mya would be back in their house as Mr Peterson finishes installing new locks and making sure they work.
Another windy and yucky night, least get the bad weather out before Halloween.

~

Mya was completely out cold, fast asleep and Aaron didn't blame her, it was a long day and the beds were comfortable.
Aaron glanced over at Nicky, noticing his discomforting expression and him gripping the pillow hard.
Nightmare.
Aaron looked around the room, reaching over he grabbed Nicky's bear and slowly but it in his reach, once he took it he seemed to be more calm, held it close.
Aaron nods and heads to sleep.
