Avery muttered something as he walked into the library, pulling his hood over his head tighter. He had thought the library would be empty, everyone would be socializing so he could read his crime novels in peace.

Phoebe whipped her head around. "Come out of the shadows Luna, I know you're there. An excellent, now you can help me as well. And no you don't have a choice." She turned her head to the two men in front of her."I don't care boys, you're helping me. Your skills may come in handy. I don't necessarily need you to be social. It might come in handy if you're not."

Luna sighed and stepped out into the open. Her arms were crossed and her book was in one hand. She was frowning at Phoebe, "I don't see why you're doing this."

"Delilah was a close friend of mine. The last time I saw her she was fine and now she's dead. The faculty here isn't going to do shit so I'm going to, and you all are helping me. Now stop asking stupid questions."

"People get killed all the time, you can't go detective because your friend died. Delilah would have known the risks of being an assassin in training. If the faculty did do something about it, then they would have to investigate every student death."

"If your mother was murdered would you not do everything you could to find the person who murdered her? Or would you go about your day and forget she ever existed?" Phoebe crossed her arms and glared.

Luna paused and she scowled, "Fine. I see your point."

Phoebe grinned gleefully. "Glad you see it my way. Now, we still won't get far with the four of us. We need more, so everyone find someone. I don't care how. Coerce them, manipulate them, seduce them, whatever."

"Why don't you do it yourself Ms. Popular?" Luna responded leaning back against a shelf, "It'll be a lot more affective."

Aya walked in. She moved quietly so as not to be seen or heard.

"Why do the work when people can do it for you?" Phoebe smirked. She looked around the library. She didn't want anyone finding out what they were up to.

"Yeah well," Luna started leaving the section, "Good luck finding someone to do it for you."

Phoebe reached forward and grabbed her hair. "Don't even think about leaving. I can make your life a living hell, don't think I won't."

Luna scowled and yanked her hair out of Phoebe's grasp before turning around, "I had figured who were done speaking. So I left."

"I don't give a shit. I need your help. I want justice for my friend. Her killer deserves to be punished. And who's to say he won't kill again. Maybe it will be that quiet kid in the back, maybe it will be you. So I think it's in your best interest to help me solve this murder."

Aya sighed and stepped out. "Phoebe, release her."

"Yeah, and you shouldn't pull everyone in because YOU want to solve this. It's not our problem, we all know the risks."

"If you don't help me now, it will be your problem. Your friends will be the next to start droppings. Help me now so it won't happen."

Luna sighed again and glanced around trying to find a way out of here. What friends? "Fine. Just can I leave to go work on my project?"

"Yes" said Aya, "You may." She gave Phoebe a threatening look.

Avery watched the people, they were in his usual spot. "What are you talking about?" He asks from the corner where he was watching them. His best skill was stealth after…

Donovan's figure slumped when he realized there was no getting out of this. He sighed and sat down, leaning against the bookshelves to listen to the others. The girl Phoebe had never said anything about him having to contribute actively. At least not until she started ordering him around. He groaned softly at the prospect. It was not going to be fun…

Phoebe rolled her eyes. "You dont scare me little girl." She turned back to Luna. "I'll be in touch." She turned her head to face the newcomer. "Just solving a murder, you?" She said all too casually.

"Watching you solve a murder. Its about the girl… Hmm… Delilah, wasn't it?" Avery drawled, like Pheobe, all too casually.
