Welcome back everyone. Enjoy and review.

The Next Morning

Basil sat in his dinning room. As he ate breakfast, he looked at a notebook he written things down in.

The first thing on his to do list was to go to school. The second was to go find Vram Banana.

What kind of a name was Vram Banana any way? Basil wasn't anyone to judge but the name was just odd.

Was there a connection between Vram Banana and what Lee was going through? Maybe but given Basil's experience since coming to Toronto he had not found anything that he ended up getting involved with ever connecting to what was going on with Lee's stuff.

Finishing his breakfast, Basil took the bowl into the kitchen and put it in the sink.

As he filled the bowl with water, a sound came to Basil's ears… He knew that sound… It was the sound worse than hearing a garbage truck go by at night just when you were trying to get back to sleep.

Looking at out the kitchen window, Basil saw something horrible sitting on a tree branch.

It was Murder! The vulture that belonged to Bela Legendre!

But it was impossible! Murder had been killed!

Twice!

The first time Murder had been struck by lightning! The second time he was some sort of Frankenbird and had been broken apart! And now once again Murder lived! But how!

"What must I do to be free of you?" asked Basil. That was a legitimate question.

Murder just squawked in response. It was a terrible thing to hear.

Basil leaned closer. Murder had a mohawk, flaring nostrils and some large, goofy eyes. Was this Murder? Or was it just a bird that looked the same? The black feathers, the orange neck… It looked like Murder but was it Murder?

"Who are you?"
