Mel is much more relaxed after the shower.
-I don't know, but I would't be surprised. I mean this is in the middle of nowhere and nobody will care if the locals complain.

Re: Chapter ONE - The Drop
Nicely's bar and grill -
The nacho-guy replies amicably "Karl, Karl Muller." He toasts with John once more. "You from here John?" Finishing his beer and pulls a fresh one from the ice bucket.
At the alertness of his new friend, Karl (ie Marcus) sits at the table and watches the two unsympathetic barmen move out back. He hadn't seen anything alerting them, but then he had been watching the performance all the time. The old man who entered just now also gets up and follows John out the hallway. "You heard that too?"
Now, there's no sound from above.
"There's a ladder out back - I'd better go up and check. Don't want any dead birds rotting up there..." He whispers. Walker exits the bar.
Outside Nicely's -
The small airplane, a red and white painted Cesna is doing a slow left turn heading east.
At the back of Nicely's a truck is starting and leaving, moving south east.
Walker comes out of the bar and instinctively looks up the facade - seeing nothing. He continues to the right side of the bar.
Walker's room -
Benjamin closes up at Walker's. As he exits he sees the old man coming out of the bar.
Mel's and Kat's room -
The room is really neat. The bed is surely big enough to share and everything is well kept. From the bar comes music and blinking lights. A truck is driving off from a lot nearby. They have a bit of a trip tomorrow but who says they need to leave bright an early?

"Want to head down to the bar and see how Marcus is getting on?" asks Kathryn.

Re: Chapter ONE - The Drop
Letting out a long yawn, Benjamin decides to give it a rest and try fixing the laptop in the morning without being half asleep. As Benjamin gets up and leaves the room, he's surprised to see Mr. Walker already leaving the bar. "What's my old man up to?" Benjamin asks himself.
The other children cheered him on. His name voiced in a steadily rising pace, urging him to do it. “Am I really doing this?”, the young boy thought and struck his victim with a rock.

Re: Chapter ONE - The Drop
Marcus necks the drink and takes a bite of the ribs before grinning cheerfully at his companion: "back in a minute!" He winks and quickly heads outside to see if he can access the roof. He keeps his eyes and ears open, wishing he'd stayed at his quiet cabin cautious as usual, like a cat that was down to its last life..
Re: Chapter ONE - The Drop
John follows Karl and Walker up the ladder onto the roof. Climbing up the ladder, he notices the two women that he saw with Karl (Marcus) earlier walking past.

"Mr. Walker!" Benjamin shouts after, as he picks up the pace to catch up.

Re: Chapter ONE - The Drop
Up on the roof -
Karl, Walker and John hear Benjamin shouting from down below. As John checks the bruises on the girl´s body he´s quite sure she has been tied up for a long period of time. Her restraints have left clear marks around her ankles and wrists. Her back is ridden with gashes - she most probably has been beaten with various types of weapons or instruments. No kind of ID can be found in her clothes. A tattoo on her right scapula depicts three tears surrounded by feathers are in the foreground of a rising sun. Sadly, the sun had been setting much too soon for this angel.
Kathryn and Melinda can´t help but noticing the guys on the roof and Benjamin who is about the scale the ladder. The plane leaves the small village in it´s trail wind.
In Nucely´s bar -
Through the front doors, The Law enters, wearing casual, greasy clothes, donning a badge and a shoulder holster.
"Why the music stopped ya´ll?"
Police chief Ben Ostler waves his arms in a drum roll gesture and barks, "Double whiskey in the back room, and be quick about it Garrett!"
Kat and Mel slowed down their pace when the police chief stumbled around the corner and overtook their point of entry. If the people they´ve seen so far seemed dodgy, this fellow gave sleaze a new face.

Re: Chapter ONE - The Drop
Kathryn avoids the dirty-looking cop, instead looking up to the roof. "What's going on up there?" she calls.

Re: Chapter ONE - The Drop
Fredrick Walker pops his head over the ledge. "Got a fallen angel, up here, I´m afraid. She´s quite dead." He murmurs something inaudible and takes off his jacket and walks away from the ledge. Coming up on the girl he covers her torso and head with his garment. "Let´s let her rest, for now."

"We'd better tell the cops, then," says Kathryn. "One just walked in, but I don't like the look of him."

Re: Chapter ONE - The Drop
"What the hell is going on? Benjamin looks at the crowd and the woman on the ground. "Mr. Walker?" Benjamin runs to Mr. Walker side. She had looked like she had seen everything dark and ugly that anyone on the roof could think of, and Benjamin didn't dare to imagine.
Benjamin looks over at the young body, and tries his best what to do, but left motionless.
The other children cheered him on. His name voiced in a steadily rising pace, urging him to do it. “Am I really doing this?”, the young boy thought and struck his victim with a rock.

Re: Chapter ONE - The Drop
Examining the girl´s remains, Benjamin gets sick to his stomach and bends over next to her, vomiting. At his side Walker pats him on his back. "Yes, indeed, what the heck is going on... Must be them youngsters at the gulag. Nothing good comes of young men keeping to themselves, right?" He offers Benjamin a clean handkerchief and adds. "I go down informing the sheriff about our find. You stay put and get some fresh air."
Down on the ground Melinda and Kathryn arrive at the ladder. Walker starts climbing down. "We need to tell sheriff Ostler anyway, whatever state he may be in." ... "Much good it will do...", he murmurs.
Down on the ground he properly introduces himself. "Ladies, Fredrick Walker - handyman of this nice establishment. Pardon the circumstance."

Re: Chapter ONE - The Drop
"Kathryn Petersen," says Kathryn, who had held the ladder for Walker as he descended. "Well, at least things are interesting around here. What can you tell me about the sheriff?"

Re: Chapter ONE - The Drop
"What was that?" Walker asks as he steps down on firm ground again.
Before anyone can respond, a handsome man exits the bar. He looks around as if he´s expecting someone jumping him. He relaxes and walks towards the ladies and the janitor. "Trouble with birds?"
In the bar-
Garrett brings the whiskey to Sheriff Ostler

Re: Chapter ONE - The Drop
"Well, there´s a fatality up on the roof. I´d guess the poor girl fell out of one of them planes frequenting the air strip our west." Walker passes the handsome man and enters the bar.
Inside, he finds sheriff Ostler in the back room.
A few moments later, the sheriff steps out along with Walker.
Marcus, still up on the roof examines the body a little more.
In the bar-
"Ya´ll, the party´s just ended! Pack your things and leave! I have urgent police business to work out, this place is now a crime scene! Thank you for your cooperation." Ostler licks something off of his fingers and dries them against the legs of his trousers. He puts on a pair of mirrored sunglasses and downs yet another whiskey. Garrett comes running with a leather bag and hands to the sheriff.
From a distance a siren can be heard.
Satisfied with his search, Marcus looks at Benjamin and says, "Man, I have a friend to bury over in Vegas. This ain´t my problem. I´d better move on, can´t be stuck here for an investigation." With that he starts for the ladder.

Kathryn holds the ladder for Marcus as well, already standing near it from before.
