Ike stared at Imbir, making themselves comfortable on his old jacket.
"Not wanting to go out at all?"
They remained seated.
"Okay. . ."
So Ike left for the day.

"Wait!"
Mya looked through the pictures,"So Henry 8th created The Church of England so he could marry Anne, not be bond by The Catholic Church and Pope?!", Maritza nods,"I only know this cause of the Musical, Six, the songs are amazing and while not completely accurate the history it's still a bop and how Aaron gets through history, using History remixes.", Trinity shrugged,"Well, while they're not completely accurate, obviously, they have great songs and Hey it helps Aaron learn, he loves Musicals; Like you learn better with practical work, Maritza, Enzo with flashcards and so on."
. . .
"But he really created his own religion just to marry again as soon as possible."
"I'm looking forward to when we cover his first daughter, The Famous Bloodly Mary; Mary Queen Of England."

In art, Abigail checked on Aaron and Nicky,"So, wjat are you two thinking?", Aaron looked up,"We're thinking of doing art pieces from The Musical Epic, we're just deciding what we should do since there is so much we could do.", Abigail nods,"I've never heard of that, I'll need to check it out; But whatever you deicide, I'm sure it will be amazing and don't be afraid to experiment.", Abigail left them to check on another table.
Aaron held up a sketch,"My idea is to make an art piece of Athena and Odysseus, standing in her dimension on her clock.", Nicky smiled,"I'm not sure yet what I'll do, but I'm leaning towards something from from The Wisdom Saga or The Final Saga.", hard to choose from such an amazing Musical.

"You can confirm? Leslie died due to suffocation?"
"Yes Sir; While Crowface slammed his head in, not enough to kill him immediately but enough to kill him slowly and painfully, highly think this is the worl of someone that has a very personal grudge."
Keith nods, same with Valeria's death.
"As of now, I can't think of anyone that would go this far for someone to suffer, though Gerda has said Leslie has upset people, someone dangerous but that person is dead. . ."
Keith sighed,"But, can you get me in touch with Gale and Mayor Tavish? Seeing as Gordon's now dead, it's possible Crowface is starting to cut of Cult Members.", the line went quiet.
. . .
"Ehm."
"Sorry Sir; it's just, I though you'd have been informed that Mayor Tavish was murdered 2 years ago, Gale was nearly killed though he's barely alive, some machine went wrong and took his leg."
. . .
"Gale has been saying for years, 'He's Coming For Me.", maybe talking about Crowface."
. . .
"Get me in a room with Gale."
Time to see an old friend, one last time. . .

Enzo stumbled out of PE, Finch skipping out like all is right with the world.
"I am. . . Bit for PE. . . Running, sure but God. . ."
Delory shrugged,"Eh, I got more into it when your sister is constantly challenging me.", maybe, Enzo sat down, maybe he should do more than just play video games, make inventions and only run when running from Cultists or Crowface eventually.

Lunch rolled around, Ivan and Lucy taking a break in the library.

Mr Murtaugh sighed, pouring himself coffee,"I like January; A nice slow month to get back into things, and it will slowly, hopefully, get warmer.", Matthew nods, then frowns,"Don't you ever feel warm or boiling in the turtle neck and lab coat?", Camila piped in, looking up from her book,"He's been wearing the same thing for years, he's probably gotten use to it and isn't bothered by the heat.", Mr Murtaugh nods,"It's practical, Steve Jobs wore the same thing every day for his life.", mean it was practical, especially the gloves.

Once hone for school, Nicky got on call with his mom.
"Hi Nicky, how's your dad yourself been?"
"Pretty good, we miss you; Especially Dad."
She smiled,"I'll be back by the end of January, don't worry.", Nicky nods.

Miguel handed Jay the documents,"I know you and Luanne are planning your Anniversary Trip in March, I can take care of Nicky.", Jay smiled, stapling the papers,"Thanks Miguel, I just wouldn't want to overwhelm you and we're looking at all options.", Miguel shook his head,"No problem, Nicky's a good kid, he balances his friends out and besides, it's a week off for you and Luanne.", Jay nods, they haven't got all the details but it's in the works.

Gale lay in the bed, his wrists cuffed to it but not like he could go anywhere.
"How the fuck am I to do anything with one leg!!!!"
He got no answer.
"Gale."
That was a voice he hadn't heard in a while.
"Keith."
. . .
Old friends.
