The sky couldn't be seen from the dining room window. All that could be seen was the millions of pearly white butterflies that flew past.

"Butterflies are good luck," my brother said.

And hours later, when all the pretty butterflies were gone, a calmness passed over us. In that moment we were both happy with who we were. And the next day he was gone.
******************************************
Butterflies are good luck?

Madelyn Cott has trouble believing her brother (Asher) committed suicide. She has found some signs indicating that he  was murdered, and is determined to prove this. She investigates  a series of clues, with the help of her love interest (Caspian Gray). Her investigations show Madelyn that while she always thought her brother to be a Robin Hood (someone who looks after the interests of the poor and down-trodden), it seemed that he was  actually a murderer. Discovering that she is living in a world of lies, Madelyn is distraught. She begins to uncover the truth about Asher's girlfriend (Janet Swift) and her role in Asher's death. Along with the secrets that gang leader (Victoria Herim) is hiding, Madelyn needs to find out what her brother's link to Newton Wes is and whether or not Newton is alive. He is the only link she has to her brothers death. Follow Madelyn Cott as she comes to terms with the fact that her beloved brother was not who she thought he was.

Hey there folks, I'm Cody Phillips, welcome to New Orleans. N'awlins is known for many wonderful things, our coffee, music and the ability to throw a damn fine party. We're also known as the city most people believe may be one of the most haunted places in the world. Well, let me tell you this, we have more than our fair share. I know because I can see them. But, listen, don't spread that around. Yeah? It's been a closely guarded family secret my whole life. Not even my best friend knows this about me. See, I use my 'gift' in my work as a homicide detective with NOLA's finest boys in blue. Now, I understand why you might call it cheating, and that's fine. But I always catch the bad guy with the victim telling me everything I need to know and give the family involved closer. So it evens out as far as I can tell. Now just as my life is moving slower than a gator with a full belly, the worst happens. I get the call about a homicide that's hit too close to home. It leaves the girl of my dreams coming home to face tragedy. The moment I see her I find myself reminded of the one secret no one ever knew. Ever since I was eight years old I have felt many different things for Emma O'Neal, and those feelings haven't disappeared with time. Problem is now that she's come home; I find myself fighting not only an unknown assailant out for blood, my partner's misguided beliefs but my own need for the enticing beauty I'm duty sworn to protect. Damn, I just hope I'm able to fight the feelings I have for this woman, and stay focused on the case. Otherwise, I might end up losing something far more precious to me than the honor I've worked so hard for: Emma's life.

"She was a rogue agent. A master in worshipping her work and herself. But suddenly she disappeared, without any track. Some thought she is dead, some thought she has taken a momentarily break and some thought she was still looking out for a chance to pounce on any other gang. I don't blame them, she had a track record for doing that and she was pretty good at it." Her last kill before she vanished out of this world of war, was one of the biggest group of smugglers.
