He was perfectly set there to collect any last information from the victim. “True, but there is also the possibility that Mr. “If anything happens to them, it’ll be on our heads,” Featherworth said. Rachel shrugged and reasoned, “Most people aren’t gone by dawn.” “It’s pathetic they slipped past us today.” “I know, that’s why I want to keep a close eye on those two.” She groaned. “You sure we shouldn’t be losing our minds over this kid?”įeatherworth nodded. Anyone that seems to know anything about Wilson ends up dead shortly after, before we could get anything from them or even offer protection.” Ringtail grit her teeth. Joan pulled a goofy face that made Rachel snicker before Rachel became serious again and continued, “It can’t be this simple. And his name is Bendy, Rach.” Featherworth sighed. If he knows anything about what Wilson was talking about, then we may be able to piece things together about why he was running in the first place. The waitress came up and took their orders. Wilson said some strange things like ‘They watch? Run,’ and something about an ‘ink machine.’ It didn’t make any sense to Devin, but it seemed that the Ben kid got it,” Ringtail said lightly. “Well, you said that the little guy, Ben was it? He was hiding something. We don’t have any clear description of the pursuer or pursuers. One had horns like a devil, one was a fish.” Ringtail let out a disgruntled sound, finishing the list.

The only details he gave was that they had oddly shaped heads and one of them wore a long scarf. He remembered seeing two other individuals run the same direction a while later. Hooferson said he saw the victim run past his shop toward the center of town. She didn't remember if there were pursuers, since her baby started crying and she had to attend him.” She said he seemed panicked and exhausted. Deer said that she saw the victim flee from the woods into town fifteen minutes before the accident. Ringtail sighed, knowing there was no helping it. Joan gave her a sharp look that only birds were able to pull off. “Can you read me the statements we’ve collected so far?” Featherworth asked.

The pair got a table on the second balcony overlooking the dancefloor. Rachel knew better than to let the crow make all the calls. Rachel had finally called for a lunch break, since the crow would work through it and dinner if she could. They weren’t getting very far, to Joan’s frustration. After that they had decided to go after the most promising witnesses and wait for evening to see the brothers. They had tried the brothers first, but neither of them had been home.
