The Unkindness Of Raven

The Unkindness of Raven|5

FIVE| - Sebastian

            MAXIMUS SANGUINE was the Newly Elected Captain of the basketball team at Eddington High, here in Louisville . He was generally very liked by his team mates and was always as friendly as possible to anyone at his school. He was found murdered at the bottom of Apple Creek Cliff. He is believed to have died somewhere between 10:00 pm and 11:00 am. Chief Armstrong have interview number of suspects and are trying to word out who's guilty. They are yet to provide a character profile and would like you to work with them  to find out who murdered the once young striving athlete.

       "What you doing?" Lionel asked, walking into his room, with a foam plate that has two slices of Pepperoni and a ginger beer in his hand. Sebastian looked up from the newspaper clipping, settling it on his school books.  "Just doing some homework," he grin at his cousin.

"Which class did they teach about Maximus murder?" he asked sarcastically starring at him.

   He hand him the plate and place the chilled ginger beer soda bottle on-top of  one of his texted book that had a piece of crumbled up napkin on it. "Just felt doing some reading," me mumbled as he took a bite to the warm pizza. 

"I am warning you Dude, Raven Sanguine ain't the girl to keep messing with. Her brother used to threaten the team with his dagger knife not to make a move on her." he stated with such seriousness in his voice, It was like he cares for her.

"Was she your girlfriend or something?" Sebastian decided to asked.

"Hell No, she's too hot for me to handle." he chuckled.

   " She's -" he tries to come up with a word.

"She's Like Ember, About to start a wildfire." he smiled to himself.

"Your one sick dude, You know that?" Lionel mumbled.

" How did you find a word to describe her, the only word anyone used to describe her around her is unkind and aggressive." he lean, cocking his butt on his desk, as he cross his legs at the ankle. 

"You guys just don't see what I see beyond her blue eyes and rip jeans. She's spitfire on the outside but i'm telling you she's sweet, determine and so herself. You hardly see that in the girls around here in Louisville" he explains.

"You even know her eye color already," he laugh out.

" All I see in those eyes is someone ready to commit murder if you mention her brother name." he uttered. "Your just dumb, all you see is below the belt there's so much more you can learn about a girl just by starring in her eyes." he said to his cousin as he bite into his pizza again.

"Yeah whatever," he replied starring down at the black and White photo of Maximus Sanguine for awhile before he got up and straighten his t-shirt.  "I'm going to bed." he blurted out.

"Where were  you earlier I came out to ask you for some towels but I couldn't find you anywhere?" he asked.

"Sorry I went to deal with something with Sean at the park." he answered.

"At ten o'clock , on a school night?" he asked with furrowed brows.

"Yeah, this is Bournville where everyone goes to bed at six." he laugh.

"Who falls asleep at ten O'clock?" he asked, Lionel shook his head before vacating his room as a text chimed onto his phone. It slide the photo of his sister on the side to see it was from an unknown number. It reads;

        Meet me outside. LB

 He got with his phone, He went to the window to see a bike parked at the end of the pavement with a guy leaning on it, as he took a cigarette from a pack he had in his hand. He watch as he slip it between lip, reaching for his lighter in his pocket as he slip the box back into his leather Jacket. He watch as used his free hand to cover the the cigar, so that he could light the cigar, he flash it thrice before a small flame of fire emerge and lit the cigar. 

     He turn away, slipping his foot into his Nike padded slipper as heads out the  door, down the hallway and out the back door before slipping out the back door. "You know your one hard dude to find Baxter." he greeted the tall guy.

"And I don't like people trespassing on my turf asking about me." he greeted back as he blows out a huff of smoke into the cool night air. Aren't you going to learn your lesson from the last time?" he asked with a smudge grin.

"You know me, I'm like a wave hard to keep down." he chuckle as he lean on his bike in the exact position he was letting the smoke surround him. 

"Your one sick dude." he grin

"So I've been told." He took out his phone and went to Gallery to pull up a photo of his sister.

     "You know her?" he hand him the phone. He stare at the photo before handing it back to him. 

"Maybe, Maybe not." he blow out some smoke to his left.

"Don't give me that crap Baxter, She's my sister. She went missing last summer. Same time as the death of Maximus Sanguine." he spilled.

"Who?" he asked.

"The Basketball Captain." he answered.

"Oh that dude." he stated as he stare at the pavement below their feet as his gaze shift to the window where Lionel was looking out at us. He turn his back, dropping his Cigar, stepping on it.

"Why don't you asked Lionel, he and the Dude were pretty close according to my source." he spilled starring at him as he stare at Lionel still starring at them as he texts on his phone.

"How close?" he asked.

"How the hell am I supposed to know? I hate the dude,." he gritted.

"Rumor has it that he was one of the last person to see the dude alive." he uttered in a whisper. "Who to tell? maybe he was the one to push him off the cliff." he stated.

"I don't believe that, he hasn't got the gut. I'm telling you." Sebastian said.

       "If you say so but don't square him away just yet, he knows something. " he said as I lean off his bike. "What make you think so?" he asked as he climb onto his bike.

     "He was pretty upset that morning  when they found the kid body. He even got in a fight with his best bud Sean. The weird looking kid from down the block." he stated. He nodded knowing just the guy he was talking about. "I'll ask around about your sister, but i'm not sure if I'll get anything." he murmured as he started his bike.

"And Sebastian-" he  called out.

"Stay off my turf." he warned as he speed away down the road into the night, kicking up gravel as he ride away. Sebastian watch as he curve the bank before riding out of his view away from him. He glance up at Window to see that Lionel was gone probably back to his room as his Aunt and Uncle drove into the yard with their grey BMW car.
