THE NEXT MORNING, OUT AND ABOUT IN THE SMALL TOWN ARRINGTON Sonya and I are taking a stroll, snacking on some plastic bags of peach rings.

"So, instead of getting uneasy vibes, you can actually, sense an uneasy vibe from someone?" Sonya asked me as we stroll around.

"Yeah. Someone and anyone." I tell her. "But I'm adjusting to it though."

"You've always had uneasy vibe since we were little kiddies, so, maybe, it's been magnified or something." said Sonya, eating a peach ring.

"Yeah. And maybe, my spider-sense vibe can come in handy with Craig, Maggie and Me." I said to Sonya.

Sonya and I exchange smiles at each other and she one-arm hugs me and we proceed with our stroll.

FLEURY MONNE SPEAKEASY LOUNGE

Eric, Matt and I are sitting in a slope booth, drinking small glasses of rum.

"Thanks for the rum cocktail drink. It's really good." Eric said.

"Really? A small talk conversation?" Matt said. "We should be having parties now that She-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named is gone for good."

" 'Who's She-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named?' " Eric asked, confused.

And Matt gives him a knowing look, referring to She-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named to Eleanor Reese.

"Ohh, okay, I get it." Eric said.

"You guys are still the Playful Jokesters, aren't you?" I asked both Eric and Matt.

"Yeah. We are." Matt said.

"Are you and Vivienne still together?" I asked him.

"Sadly to say, me and Vivienne aren't together anymore." Matt said.

"Oh, gosh. But you and Viv are buddies right?" Eric asked.

"Yeah. Me and Vivienne are buddies." Matt said. "And what's with Cody Asher?"

"I don't know, but there is something about him though." I said.

"You can spider-sense vibe from Cody Asher, right?" Eric asked me.

"Yeah." I said, and my phone buzzes in my plaid jacket pocket. I pulls out my phone and looks at it.

Christine Avery

I answer my phone. "Hey, Christine."

"Hey, Violet. I think I may have something on Cody Asher. I'm at the Special Agent Ops." Christine said to me.

"Okay, I'm on my way." I said, hanging up my phone and glances at Eric and Matt. "I'll see you guys around." I added, getting up and walking away.

SPECIAL AGENT OPS FIELD OFFICE

Christine and I are sitting at a computer with Cody Asher on the computer screen.

"Cody Asher is a former boarding school teacher at the Cypress Boarding School. After working there, he somehow quit and left the Cypress Boarding School." said Christine Avery.

"And he's been practicing dark voodoo hoodoo ever since." I said.

"Indeed I have." Cody Asher said, in his Australian accent, drawing our attention to him. "Christine Avery. Violet Benton. How a sweet pleasure to discover your base of ops."

"Cody Asher." Christine Avery said.

Cody Asher looks at Christine Avery and grins, menacingly. My spider-sense vibe picks up from him; Cody Asher and I exchange looks at each other.

"How do you know about my spider-sense vibe?" I asked Cody.

"You'll be surprised to know how much I know of you, Violet." Cody Asher tells me. "And not just you, this small town Arrington itself."

"So, you have schemes for this small town?" Christine Avery asked Cody.

"Indeed I do. This is small town Arrington is nothing anymore. Most of the shops has been boarded up, and most of the townspeople here have moved away. So, is the small town odd Arrington is worth cleansing and saving?" Cody Asher asked.

"Yeah. It is worth cleansing and worth saving." I tell Cody Asher.

Cody thrusts his hand at me, creating a dark gray smoke around me. And I start to choke on the smoke, causing me to fall on the floor.

"Leave her alone." Christine Avery said, aiming a revolver handgun at Cody Asher.

Cody Asher looks at Christine unfazed by her threaten of a revolver handgun. He looks at me and stops choking me with his dark gray smoke.

And Cody Asher disappears into his dark gray smoke.

Christine looks at me and walks over to me, crouching down to me. "You okay, Violet?"

"Yeah. What the hell was that?" I asked, bewilderedly, gently soothing my throat with my hand.

BENTON HOME

The Benton Gang and I, along with Christine Avery, has reconvened at my house and is sitting in the living room.

And Christine has told them about Cody Asher.

"So, you're saying that Cody Asher used some voodoo hoodoo?" Cherry asked.

"Yeah. And I practically choked on it." I said. "I think Cody Asher is a dark magician."

"How does he get his dark voodoo magic?" Jonny asked.

"Craig, Maggie, Violet and I discovered six dead pale bodies at the Lounge Center and another six dead pale bodies in the Woodland Woods." Christine Avery said.

"So, Cody Asher has fueled himself with twelve dead pale bodies." Ava said, a bit disgusted. "Eww."

"Is there anything that we can do to stop Cody Asher?" Monica asked.

"Don't know, guys." I answered, unsurely, and folds my arms. "But my spider-sense vibe was right about Cody Asher. And he's a strong magician."

JEN'S DINER

That night, I'm sitting at the diner counter with my soda pop.

"Hey, Violet." Jen said, sweeping the diner floor.

"Hey, Jen." I said to her with a small smile. "How are Leonard and You? Cassidy?"

"Leonard and I are fine, Cassidy is too." Jen answered, and becomes worried.

"What is it?" I asked her.

"It's this small town Arrington. What an Odd Twisted Town it has become." Jen said.

"Yeah. It has." I said to Jen. "It really has."

3RD POV,
FLEURY MONNE SPEAKEASY LOUNGE

Jonny slowly walks inside the dimly lit main room. He and Monica exchange confused looks at each other.

"Jonny?" Monica said.

"Monica? What are you doing here?" Jonny asked her, confused.

"I don't know, I gotten a text message from an unknown person saying to meet you here." said Monica to Jonny.

"It's clearly a trap." Jonny said to Monica.

"Indeed you're correct, Mr. Harper." Cody Asher said, slowly approaching both Jonny and Monica.

Jonny and Monica exchange confused looks at each other and looks at Cody Asher again.

Cody Asher then, blows some power in Jonny's and Monica's faces. "Phesmatos sanguine."

Jonny and Monica both passes out onto the carpet floor. And Cody Asher smiles, slyly, to himself.
