CHAPTER 2

Nov 3rd | 63℉☁

▸ Due to last night's storms, a quarter of Blackwell is still without power. It seems a tree has fallen on a power line, which will be promptly inspected by BWI and fixed ASAP.

▸ The worst of that storm is now over, thank god. Weather reports cloudy days from here on out.

▸ Fairweather and Winters kids are still missing. Local authorities and volunteers are resuming their search in the immediate area. Please, if you have the time, go join the cause.

▸ In a sad turn of events, the remains of Kara Samson have been returned to the family not a week ago. Details surrounding her disappearance and cause of death have not yet been released.

▸ Rumors say that the county morgue outside of Elkins was broken into early this morning, but officials decline to comment on the matter.

▸ Today's news radio is brought to you by Black Lodge Bar! Head on down to Black Lodge for their all day Monday happy hour!

▸ And now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

THE RISING IS NOT IN EFFECT

[ the tree, really. ]

I'm not the person to go to in those matters.

[ lifts his hand a little. put it away. ]

But we could talk.

[brabble]

[ it's a local newspaper, if you don't give local happenings a big front page, especially when it affects so many local job posts, you don't sell as much as you could.

she doesn't let go, holding to it like a boy holds on to his penis. ] About?

[eternalboy]

[ mouths the words because she didn't put away the thing. ]

[ "Co-operation." ]

[brabble]

[ and she turns the audio recorder to him, showing how it's not even on. there's no need to mouth it unless he thinks they're being watched ]

Is this off the record?

[eternalboy]

[ good. ]

It's off the record.

I'll show you mine, you'll show me yours. A hint for a hint.

[ pockets his hands. how about it? they're both working for the same cause after all. ]

[brabble]

What could I possibly know that the sheriff's office doesn't? [ she shrugs with a little smile, which is mainly a fake one. ] Do you want to see a fallen tree?

[ you first, basically ]

[eternalboy]

Not especially. And I think you've also seen enough of those. I mean, they look essentially the same. [ takes out the business card she gave to him a moment ago and gives it a closer look as if to make sure. it's like he thought. a temp. ] Photographing crime scenes must be what you're more interested in. Am I correct? It's just a shame that those are so hard to find in time. Often the press gets there only after the police has made an official statement.

[ puts the card away and looks around them like he was playing time. ]

I have no idea what you know but it would be nice to keep in touch.

[ in case she finds out anything. he can help her in return. ]

[brabble]

[ the nuances of news reporting is apparently lost on this guy. not that she's surprised, a lot of cops are not fans of reporters or news, since it interferes with their jobs a whole lot, but sophie can't be bothered to calm her journalistic-wannabe titties. metaphorically speaking.

she's a temp, yeah, but has been for about four or five years, so don't even give her that look.

she shrugs at his assumption. it's not that she's interested, it's that they are relevant. ]

Well, my e-mail and phone are there. [ she points to the card ] You want to give me yours?

[eternalboy]

[ he's still new enough not to have any personal experiences with messy journalists, but he has heard a lot of stories and prejudice sits tight. ]

Sure.

[ takes out his own business card and hands it to her. ]

Catch you later.

[ waves his hand and goes. his expectations concerning this deal are pretty low but he's forever an optimist. ]
