Thank you for the reviews everyone, and I just want to say that I do like Sara. I'm sorry if I was being cruel about teasing her, but I wanted a playful element in both my story and my character. Sara is in no danger, Irons on the other hand… well we'll get to that later.
I'm not going to use the yellow boots, but I have another idea, more evil by far.
Oh I don't own any of the Witchblade characters, Raven is mine.
One's WillJake McCartey walked into his and Sara's office carrying the only salvation known to man, COFFEE! Sara was at her desk staring at her computer. Looking at Sara Jake could tell that she hadn't gotten much sleep last night for she looked like a raccoon with those dark circles around her eyes. Putting a cup of coffee down on Sara's desk he began to talk about their most recent case.
"So Pez we got an eye witness on those roof-top murders."
"Hmm."
"She lives in a building across from the Penning's murder scene."
"Hmm."
"Yeah she said that the murderer was parading around in a hot pink dress with
neon green fishnet stalkings and a fuzzy blonde wig."
"Hmm."
Jake sighed and walked around behind Sara to see what she was looking at on her computer. To his surprise she was staring at a quote she had typed on her computer.
'Suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some gently rapping,
Rapping at my chamber door.'
"Hey isn't that from the poem that Poe guy wrote?" asked Jake.
That seemed to catch Sara's attention, "You know where it's from?"
"Yeah it's called… I know it's a bird, but… anyway it's by Poe."
Sara quickly jumped online and started searching for anything and everything by Poe. Searching through his works Sara saw one titled 'The Raven.' She clicked on it and started to read (no I'm not going to write it because it would take too long and if you want to read it just look it up; you should also look at some of his other stuff, they're really good). Sara got to the quote that she had been staring at and rereading ever since she wrote it down last night.
'Why would that voice say that to me, what is the significance of it?'
***
'A little birdie Sara, just a little birdie.'

Sara looked at the title 'The Raven.' As she sat there trying to find a connection, her cell phone rang.
"Pezzini."
"Hello Sara."
"Nottingham? What do you want?"
"There's a new piece to your puzzle Sara."
Sara frowned, "Piece, puzzle; Nottingham I didn't get very much sleep last night so if you could hurry up with what that is suppose to mean I'd be really grateful."
"I see you had a visit from little birdie."
"The Raven, yes," Sara at up straight in her seat, hoping that Nottingham could her something.
"Raven to be exact Sara, she likes to be called Raven. The Raven is just too formal," teased Ian (Teasing Sara is one of his favorite things to do, what don't tell me you didn't know).
"So does this Raven have a last name?"
"…"
"Nottingham?"
The line went dead. Sara put her phone down and sighed in frustration to all this cryptic talk.
'Might as well see what I can find out with just the name Raven.'
Sara started to do back round checks using the name Raven when she came across a certain file. Seeing the picture of a woman with black eyes made her stop. Looking through the file she found out that her name is Raven Cole, she's 23, and she was adopted by Kenneth Irons.
