Whateley Independent Fiction (138)
Ain't no need to go looking for trouble, when trouble already knows your name, your family's name, and if you had a dog, it'd know that one's name too.
"How much trouble are you trying to get us in this time?"
"How much trouble you got?"
"There are still mysteries worth chasing:
some by the light of the moon,
some in the change of the seasons,
some by the turn of a card,
some on the edge of a knife."
Now that everyone's been introduced around and settled in, Abbie Elliott can get down to work.

Tell me if you've heard this one before: Two young men walk into a Dunwich bar.
The first one says to the second one there, "I hope you're having fun."
... except the first one there isn't really there yet, they're both underaged, the other one has a sacrificial knife in his gut - because, why not? - and the bar is really a hospital. Welcome to Whateley, gentleman. The first unit of blood's on the house...
Four families on four converging roads to Whateley: it's not the destination as much as it is who you bring with you on your journey.

To fledgling Heroes learning their trade, the Twelve Jurors are an example of why one should think twice about hot pursuit when the other side holds a grudge. Bad Guys have bad hair days; who knew? Case closed. No one ever asks about the rest of the story.
