They all sat in the round booth at the back of Alice's 24 hour diner at 7PM. The diner usually was the host for late night customers, so this time was fairly quiet. Each looked at the other with some discomfort, but mostly curiosity. Herman, Clara Jean, Daniel, Bess, Star, Halle, and Annabeth all sat looking at Lamar who pulled-up two chairs, one for Herman, who couldn't sit in the booth, and one for himself.
"Now," Lamar said definitively, "You all have something from Mr. Evans. Something you've found, something he told you, or something you saw. We are here tonight to try and put the pieces together."
He looked around at each of them. They looked at each other. Alice brought coffee, tea and sodas for the table. "What else you need?"
Lamar said, "We're good right now, thanks, Alice." He looked back at the group. "Who's going to start?"
Across the street Nik was starting his shift at the bar. He had noticed some odd venders arriving with deliveries that only Leit could sign for. Nik thought he saw a guitar in his office. "Strange," he thought, "what does he want with a guitar?"
Meanwhile, Jamie was canvassing the area and turning odd corners, sides of buildings or other odd spaces into art. He was turning the neighborhood into his own canvas.
Vanyan and Linh sat together in an office at the police station. Each looking at the other. Neither really had a clue about where to start with Evan's murder, but they had to start somewhere.
Due date: Friday Nov. 30th by the beginning of class. You must have a dialogue with someone. Either another character, a common character, or a character that becomes a common character.
