Welcome back everyone. Enjoy and review.
Dratted Bird
Letting go of Murder 2.0, Basil shook a fist at the bird as it started to fly around in circles above the heads of the three students below. Looking at Lee, Basil pointed a thumb at the bird of evil going round and round above them.
"You, uh, you want to help me?" he asked.
"I could ask you the same thing." Lee looked up at the bird and then shook his head. "So have you found anything?"
"Just something that says 'Beware of his Eminence' or something like that…" Basil shrugged. "I don't know, maybe he's someone like Cardinal Richelieu…" He then ran a hand through his white hair. "Man, do I ever like him as a patriotic supporter of the monarchy but hate him as a power-hungry cynic… I hate cynics they're like fascist dictators… The only good ones are the ones that have been buried."
Lee stared. He then looked at his phone. "Okay, I think I'll go meet Holger on the roof." And with that, he departed for the roof.
With Lee gone, Basil had to look to Cherie for help. Sucking on a, well, lollipop. "What?" Looking up at the bird, Cherie shuddered. "No way, you get that bird yourself! Murder and his ilk are evil!"
Basil raised his one solitary eyebrow, since the other had been burnt away. "Did you just say 'ilk?'"
Smiling, Cherie nodded. "That I did, my D'Artagnan, that I did."
Grimacing, Basil regrettably took off his shirt and tried to catch Murder 2.0 with it. "Don't call me that, Cherie! D'Artagnan never got a happy ending!" Failing to catch Murder 2.0, Basil put his shirt on. Cherie had been blushing the whole time.
"S-So, what should I call you then?"
"How about your Menelaus? He got a happy ending!"
Smiling, Cherie kissed Basil. "I can think of something simpler, love."
And then, unexpectedly Murder 2.0 made an exit by crashing through a window. Was it dramatic? Yes. Was it comic book-y? Yes. Was it awesome? Most definitely yes!
Basil just stared. "Didn't expect that."
