[1] It's not a fun day to wake up and find two of your housemates droned. Crowe leaves the house, not wanting to deal with them, only to find out later that 3 of his friends - Aaron, Kakyoin and Flay - are also droned.

To add insult to injury, he finds something in the mailbox with his name on it. It's a small manila envelope. There is only a photo inside, and he stares at it for a long while. It's a mugshot of him when he was 15, when he was caught trying to burglarize a museum in Italy. Considering his infamous last name in the crime world of his homeland, he was quickly booked and thrown in jail until his uncle helped get him out and cleared his name.

To anyone who approaches him, his expression is completely unreadable, blank. Crowe wasn't quite sure what Mayfield was trying to tell him with this one.

[2] Later, there's a motorcycle zipping through town at an unsafe speed. To anyone who knows Crowe, the bike is recognizable. To anyone else, the helmet covers his telltale hair color, and the sunglasses might make it harder to tell who's driving. But you better look out if you're crossing the street, or waiting in your car at that intersection - there's a Ducati coming up fast. A bit later, he'll be driving on the highway, looping through over and over and over again, getting as much speed as he can handle.

Eventually, he runs out of gas, and he simply hops off the bike and walks it back into town, towards home. Approach?

[Ken was out on his own bike that day, but not going nearly at the insane speeds as Crowe was. He sees the kid and stops.]

Hey! Haven't seen you in a while.

[Mart'll approach while he's taking it back home.]

Dude!

That is a bitching motorcycle!

[ It's very possible that Ian saw him zipping around town, but now that that thing isn't moving at unsafe speeds, he hops down from whatever tree his was in to get a better look ]

Gods, that thing moves fast.

[Silence still isn't sure how he feels about the events of the past couple weeks, or Nusakan's part in them - although he didn't take part himself at all. He's been flying around as much as his wings will allow, partly for pleasure but mostly to distract himself.

He's a little bemused when, from up high, he spots someone walking back from the highway. And he's a little too curious not to investigate...especially since his wings are tiring again and he needs to land anyway. He lands a few yards ahead of the person walking, folding his wings and tilting his head in an unspoken question. What happened?]

[have a concerned Hitler.]

Crowe? Are you okay?

[Walking with him as he walks back, Teensy to his tall.]

Crowe.

[She says, as if that expresses everything.]

(The Sniper's at the gas station getting supplies when he hears a motorcycle zip by. Huh, didn't think anybody else would be on the road today.)

[It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, something something, crossing the road with bags full of cabbage because this totally isn't a played out joke or anything already. Of course, given how zoned out he was whistling to himself, he barely had time to notice the incoming roar of the motorcycle. Or, you know, the actual motorcycle about to crash right into him.]

[Here's hoping a tap on his shoulder will draw him out of whatever daze he's in, because that is what Caesar is doing. He gives the boy a prod with the very book he had previously borrowed. That Agatha Christie one, And Then There Were None.]

Hey. It isn't a very good murder mystery if no one ever solves the crime.

[Also hello.]
