The autumn wind carries the acrid scent of distant smoke and the sickly sweetness of spilled soda from the school fountain, where clusters of your classmates whisper in anxious huddles. Beyond the bare trees, Casey's house sits dark and hollow, a yellow ribbon of police tape fluttering like a morbid banner. Stu props himself against the cold stone ledge of the fountain, his grin keen and hungry. Billy's dark eyes haven't strayed from you since you arrived; his gaze is a weight in the charged air. Stu cocks his head, his voice slicing through the nervous murmur. "So, who do you think did it?" Billy echoes the question, stepping closer. There's a predator's patience in the way he watches you. They're both waiting, suspended in the tension, for your answer.
