[25 Aug] Ross's Corners Redux

"But I left Boston to work in Arkham, if you rang me. I would have told you this, organised something for us to do" she then thinks about the P.I that they would have used. She knows of Billy. Could it be him she thinks.

"The P.I you used. Did you get a name or anything"?

Matilda listens to what her father says about Martha and is still upset. “I want to help any way I can. She's my twin sister. I know a P.I who might give some advice on looking for a missing person” she says before looking at Arthur.

“I'll come home as soon as I can. I think work would understand if I didn't come in. I just want my sister found"

“I'll contact you when I'm on the way home. I just feel that I'm needed there. I love you dad” and she puts the phone down.

She turns around and sees Billy and he's dragging something. She then just starts to cry. “What are you dragging Billy?” She asks as she is crying. “Also what do you know about finding missing people?”

"So something killed his son in this house then" she says to Arthur before she tells him

"I don't know how much of that call you heard but my twin sister Martha has gone missing and I'm worried about her" she then carries on crying "I will be heading home to be with my parents soon"

"That was the first thing I thought of. But I need to be with them and travel home to be with them" she says to him.

"It ain't safe but my sister is one of the most important people in my life. I'd let you come with me, but you might feel awkward love"

“She was last seen in Boston last month. She was there looking for me. She thought I still lived there. She had gotten a flat there” she explains to Billy whilst still crying. “My parents hired someone called Thomas York. Is he any good?” she asks him thinking he would have an idea of who he is.

She's worried that it is linked to someone being after her. “What if this person who's after me thought she was me as we are identical twins” she says to them.

"That is a possibility but I don't think that is the case. I've had the warnings,but if I've put her in danger then I'd never forgive myself"

She moves closer to Arthur after she says that and softly says "of course I'd want you to see my family. I just wish it was in better circumstances. Plus I wouldn't want you to feel out of place"

Arthur: Billy waits to see if you need to examine the body. You notice that Matilda is wearing a lovely red silk scarf, odd you hadn't realised until know, but you must have been distracted by returning to the farm house.

Matilda: In your distress you have only just noticed you are now wearing a lovely red silk scarf. But you left the house wearing one, so why would it be strange to now notice it around your neck.

Everyone:Unless you both have more you'd like to do here we can finish this scene. If you could write a exit post that would be nice.

“Of course I want you there. I want you to support me and help me. I'll make arrangements when we head home”. She says to him, more to make him feel involved.

She looks at Arthur when he mentions her scarf she looks a little bit confused about it for a few moments. “Oh yeah, I've started wearing more red. The colour suits me” she says, wondering why he's said something now.

“Thank you and as soon as I've got the time off to travel up then I'll let you know” she still feels upset but she's trying to hide it. She also has told her parents about Arthur but not everything and she's worried about him meeting them.

“How do you explain how the body was found. Seems strange that firstly he was here then you find his body. I thought the house was safe” she says as they walk to the car.

Matilda listens to Arthur explain about the body and the story they're going with "Yeah I can go along with that if need be" she says. Her mind still on her sister.

"Did this body have any similarities to any of the other bodies"

Matilda hears him explain that they all had the mark of his God carved into their chests. She looks away "why would someone in his cult do that?" she thinks to herself she wasn't sure if it was their way of offering to him. She knows that different cults had their ways. This one just didn't feel right.

"We'll work it out together love" she says to him, trying to make him feel at ease, knowing that it won't help.
