Smoky Hallows Transcript

Jerith Walker Shanelle finally arrives home after the long bus ride, walks upstairs to her room, and flops down on her bed with a small groan.

It isn't long after this that her mom opens her door. "Hey Shawny, could you take out the trash bags for me? Mo will be over here soon, and I'm working on fixing dinner."

Shanelle sits right back up. Her face is twisted with distress, throat tight. "Ugh what the FUCK! I just got home from a long, awful day of dealing with school, and I get home and all anybody wants me for is chores!" she stands, whining.

"Now listen here, missy. First off, if I ever hear you say that word again, you'll be doing all my chores for the next week. Now I've been busting my ass around here trying to get this place cleaned up; the /least/ you can do is follow one simple instruction."

Shanelle sniffs and stalks past her mom, wiping an eye. She pulls out her phone.

To: Courtney - 5:40 PM
Today SUX.

Courtney had gotten home a while ago. She picks up her phone when it buzzes, almost nervously. Stares down at the text.

She presses her lips together, angry tears welling up in her eyes. Hovers her fingers over the keyboard, holding back a variety of responses. Finally she settles with,

To: Shanelle - 5:43 PM
Oh so NOW you want to speak with me??

Shanelle had just sent a "Hello???" the moment she receives a text from her. She furrows her eyebrows.

To: Courtney - 5:44 PM
Whats That Supposed To Mean? You Still Moody From Earli Today?

She gets a text from Nova soon after.

To: Nova - 5:45 PM

Jerith Walker Courtney tenses when her phone buzzes again. She calms down, but only slightly.

To: Shanelle - 5:45 PM
You know you were kind of a bitch.

Shanelle rolls her eyes. Okay, we'll just see how Courtney feels about being ignored, then!

She works on taking out all the trash bags in her house. Checks her phone. Nova still hasn't responded. Small frown. Is SHE being ignored? If so, what did she do??

Courtney gets anxious when she doesn't get texted back straight away.

To: Shanelle - 5:50 PM
Shanelle?

Shanelle gets hopeful when her phone buzzes, but nope. Only Courtney. She angrily stuffs her phone in her pocket again.

Trashley Marie Danielle walks through her door late, it's almost 7:30 PM. "Dani! I ordered you a pizza earlier. Pig out babe!" Dani wrinkles her nose to the smell of beer and pot in her house. She cleans up on her way to the kitchen. "Thanks." She whispers bitch under her breath. She walks over to the pizza box on the pile of dishes. Opening it she sees a half eaten slice and closes it. "You know, I am not really hungry. Night, love you." She walks into the living room and kisses her overly high mom on the forehead. Running up the stairs she enters her room. It was so clean and smelled so nice compared tot he rest of the house. Dani had been gone for almost five days and her mom hadn't noticed, or maybe she did and just didn't care. <That sounds a lot more accurate>. Laying down and she looked up at her ceiling toward all the glow in the dark stars her and her dad had put there when she was younger. Things were so much better then. When he was alive, when mom was better. When we lived in this house but that was okay, because we had so many good things. Memories of him slowly became dreams as she fell asleep.

Trashley Marie Waking up Dani groans and kicks her wall. She mutters a few profane words and goes to her wardrobe. She grabs out a black tank top and jean shorts, her usual. Over the tank top she wears an oversized button down. The shoes she wears to accompany the outfit are high top basketball shoes. Her baseball call is backward and her ruffled black hair sticks out on all sides. She skips the make up routine and heads straight for door. "Bye mom." Closing it before her mom has a chance to speak. She lights a cigarette and starts her long trek to the high school.

Maya Rice Felix, after having spoken with the authorities at the school, had been sent out to Danielle's home in search of her unresponsive mother. They had attempted to contact her by calling quite a few times, eventually deciding that it would be much easier to send an officer directly to the house. They truthfully couldn't hold Danielle in a classroom for more than the duration of the school day, and didn't want to waste time waiting for a response from her mother. Things needed to be sorted out.

Felix approaches the house located at the address he has been given by the school. He glances around, checking his surroundings as he walks up to the door of Danielle's residence. The neighborhood was, to say the least, suspicious. A growing sense of dread builds up in Felix as he takes a few more steps forward, knocking on the door of the house.

"Redinborough Police!" He calls out, hoping that whoever is inside will be more quick to answer the door if they're aware of the fact that there is an officer waiting outside.

Maya Rice Felix can't help but feel a bit surprised that the door was answered so quickly. He had quite honestly been expecting a wait. Lips curling up into a smile, Felix looks down at the younger boy, softening his voice a bit. He doesn't want to scare the kid off.

"Hello," he starts, smile widening. "I'm Officer Herron. I was sent here looking for a Ms..." He takes a moment to recall the name. "Hennette? Would that be your mother, perhaps?"

Trashley Marie He giggled at the officers comment. "That is my sissy. My mommy is Mrs. Beyer. Mommy is out. I'm Danny Hennette!" (Omg i didn't think of the telling you that the moms last name is different then dani's) Easily distracted by the gun, Danny jumps happily. "Is that real!?"

Maya Rice Felix tilts his head, wondering why Danielle's mother isn't at home. He's half tempted to just leave there and then, but Danny speaks before he gets a chance to turn around and leave. Felix chuckles slightly as the kid's gaze comes to rest on his gun. "Yeah, it's real." He straightens up a bit, smiling down at Danny. "You ever thought of becoming a police officer?"

Maya Rice Felix's smile brightens, and he leans down to ruffle the hair on the top of Danny's head. The kid's happiness is quite infectious. "I'm sure you will," he says, nodding a bit. He then straightens back up, feeling his phone buzz in his pocket. When he retrieves it, he discovers the text Nyx had sent him. Reading quickly over it, Felix returns his phone to his pocket and then glances down at Danny. "Well, I have to get going." He takes a step back, waving at the kid. "Nice meeting you."

Maya Rice Felix comes to a halt, expression changing when he hears Danny say that his uncle isn't waking up. Although he knows he's supposed to be pursuing Danielle's mother right now, he is a police officer...certainly this would fall under his duties. "He's not waking up?" Felix looks down at Danny. "Have you tried to wake him up yet?" He tries not to jump to conclusions, but he has his suspicions...While he waits for an answer from the kid, he quickly retrieves his phone again and texts Phoenyx back.

Maya Rice Felix starts to smile, relieved, but his smile drops when Danny pauses. Damn. It wasn't going to be that easy. Trying to sound convincing, Felix says, "A warrant, yes." He smiles softly. "You don't need to worry about that. I'd only need one of those if you were in trouble." He prays that the kid won't catch on to his lie. He seems young enough to believe it...

Trashley Marie "Okay. Mister." Danny smiles big and jump up and down! "Yay! Let go play trucks!" Danny run into the house, jumping over beer cans and needles and old blunts. He sits at the end of his toy trunk. "Or no! Planes or army man! Yeah!" He roamed on and on about all the toys he had.

Maya Rice Felix lets out a quiet breath of relief when Danny allows him to enter the house. He immediately notices the scattered beer cans, the needles. A deep frown forms on his face...so he had been right to think that this neighborhood was questionable. "Where is your uncle sleeping?" He asks the kid, a hint of dread seeping into his tone.

Maya Rice He waits, hoping to feel a pulse, hoping that he won't have to deal with this today...He gets a bit startled by Danny's sudden approach, shifting away from his uncle for a moment.

He rattles off the address of the house, requesting immediate assistance.

Maya Rice Trying to keep the situation under control, Felix reluctantly moves away from the body once he's sure that backup is coming. He prays that Danny isn't fully aware of what's happening just yet. Maybe if he can distract him with the toys... "Alright," he says, trying not to think about the body in the kitchen. "Why don't you...why don't you show me your toys?" He forces a half-hearted smile.

Maya Rice Felix feels a vague bit of sympathy for the kid when he apologizes. "Don't worry," he says, shaking his head with a smile. "You're fine." He almost moves on, forces himself to just play with the kid, but when he realizes that he had mentioned a sister... "Your sister...what is she like? What does she look like?" He vaguely recalls the kid mentioning a sister earlier -- however, he hadn't fully been paying attention.

Maya Rice Felix and Dave are left waiting at the house for about five more minutes until an ambulance arrives at the house, it's sirens wailing loudly. Felix stands aside when doctors and paramedics rush in, watching them examine the body for a bit before eventually having to turn away. He informs one of the paramedics about the kid upstairs, mentions Danielle as well. He assumes that Phoenyx must be taking care of her. There's not much else he can do, not right now. He'll have to wait until he can get in contact with Dani's mother to take any further action.

Felix texts his sister, telling her to keep a hold of Danielle while she can, take her down to the station if they don't manage to contact her mother by the time the school day is up. After he finishes texting Nyx, he speaks briefly to Dave, requesting that he or another officer keep watch on the house, wait for someone to arrive home. While he /could/ take the job himself, he's already feeling quite exhausted, and knows he'll be able to get away with calling the day short and returning home. Nyx will take care of the high school student, another officer will take care of watching the house. With some final words to Dave and the medics, Felix heads out and away from the house, hopping into his car and driving off toward home.

Jerith Walker After Shanelle receives the texts, she sits up straighter and leans forward, peering out the window.

Just a bit further to her house.

She isn't particularly excited for the party, but it does cheer her up a bit. When she arrives home, she passes by her mom with a friendly smile and greeting, much to her mom's confusion. She heads up to her room and quickly picks out a dress, one of the few decent ones she owns; a lowcut, dark blue one with sparkles decorating the chest area up to the cut, with sleeves that fit just over her shoulders and no further. It isn't by any means long, only reaching down to her upper thighs, and it doubles as a push-up bra.

She puts it on and then goes over to her make-up stand, reapplying make-up and adding foundation and blush. She smiles at herself.

Maya Rice A fairly tall woman in a police officer's uniform stands inside, probably making idle chatter with another officer or two. When Danielle's mother bursts inside, the woman abruptly turns, hand already hovering over the gun clipped to her belt. When she realizes that there doesn't seem to be any cause for alarm, she shifts her hand, clearing her throat.

"Hello," she greets with a stiff nod. "Officer Vitello, Redinborough Police." She looks Danielle's mother up and down. "...I assume that you're a resident of this house?"
