I'm down for either. However you go outside, it's up to you as to what's going on.
Elijah Craigh
Interacting with: DeMarcus and Parker Blake, Lynnette Marshall


"Well about..." Eli's eyes wandered to a clock on the wall. "Four and half hours ago. I gutshot a guy in a goat mask just outside my house. Then goatboy just went up in flames and there was that Wilson boy, tied to a tree with razor wire and he was..." Eli let a small laugh that only showed his own disbelief in what was going on. "Skinned, no eyes, no face..."

He shook his head as he got to his feet and stretched out. As he walked over to the coffee pot and poured himself a cup. He couldn't help but notice Lynette as she walked in, her face looked terrible. Fresh bruises, eyes that looked like she had been crying, and a face that said her whole world had been crushed. Then the tears came as she slid down the wall.

He looked over at DeMarcus and Parker. They looked no worse for the wear they've been under. He was almost surprised that they looked so good. Linehouse must have sent one of the few good sheriffs to pick them up. Slowly made his way to the crying Lynette and squatted down in front of her. He let a heavy sigh before speaking. "Alright girl, you're alright. Lyn...nette, right? Come on let me see." He tried to be comforting but he was far from good at it. He didn't give her a chance to reply before he lifted her head as softly as he could. He was sure that as soft as he trying to be, his calloused hands were rough on her.

"Wow, they got you good sweetheart... Is it just your head or did they get you anywhere else." He couldn't say why but this screamed of drunk cowards looking to prove something. Eli wished to hell he had been there.

"One of you mind getting a first aide kit." He said looking at the siblings. He no sooner got the words out of his mouth before something made him look at the door. Something was off about the sounds coming from the other side of the door. It sounded like... Something braking...? Yelling...? Did the people outside breakthrough?
Double post, my boo.
@HecateProxy
Thank you. Thank you.

@SheriffLlama
Well, I can scare something up tomorrow if you like.

@AcerRo

Rape, murder, and lynching?

Oh and I saw that coming. As long as I don't have to roleplay as the swat it makes my life that much easier


Not really but not far off either.
I'm starting to think I may have lost my Harlan crowd.
@Xandrya I'd be willing to make it, I was anticipating that Violet was coming so I haven't worked on a post.

If by tomorrow after I have practice there is no post I can provide one. Although, it will be a little hard to deal with a swat team who knows exactly who and what we are. I mean, I don't even know if that's a fight we can win


You guys got plenty of time to do a round or three of posting before the swat shows up. Not being able to win is the whole point. The deck is stacked against us all right now. Wait till you see what's gonna happen in Harlan.
I'm interested.
FBI Field Office. Atlanta, Georgia.

“So, who do we have on our home grown freak list?” Asked Alan Mansfield, the Special Agent in Charge of the Atlanta division. He took his seat at the head of the conference table, sifting through the stacks of thick dark green folders with Classified written across each of them.

A round, balding man was the first to speak. “Jennifer ‘JJ’ Jureau, twenty-seven year old mathematician at a research firm for USA and one hell of a looker.” He said before letting out whistle. “She's as smart as she is pretty. She’s into kickboxing but I don’t think she’ll be a problem. Even if she runs there nothing to indicate she’ll be good at it. Upper class family, mother is a neurosurgeon, father an engineer. P.H.D at age twenty-five and a booty that-” He was quickly cut off by the man at the head of the table shouting for him to stop talking.

Without a moment's delay another someone else spoke up. A middle aged man with glasses. “Next we have Luna Yvilkov. We don't have a lot on her though. We think her father had Russian mob connection but we don't really know…” He paused for a scolding that didn't come. “Anyhow, we think after her father died in an accident, she moved with her mother to the Philippines. Records get even more dicy after that it she graduated ‘The Guardians’ at around sixteen.” He said with air quotes.

“The name might a bit on the nose but for bodyguards, they don’t get much better. Every bit as dedicated and dangerous as any jihadist. Wish I had ten like her.” A man with close cropped hair hair said. His manner was that of a lifelong soldier. “She’s gonna be a problem. She won't go down with a fight .” He concluded his thoughts with a glares from around the table. To those around the table, a soldier's place was on the battlefield, not here.

The middle aged man with glasses cleared his throat before continuing. “Luna Yvilkov is currently working for Ashton Conway and as of ten minutes ago, she's with him now.” He said adjusting his glasses. The two plus Jureau were last sighting entering a club in town.”

A heavy sigh came from the lifelong soldier, annoyed by his counterparts action.”Ashton Conway, former CEO of Conway Industries. He stepped down when his company's stock started to tank. Banks don’t really want to do business with him, nor does anyone else but he won’t go bankrupt anytime soon. Legally, as far as we know he’s done nothing wrong so we can’t hold or freeze his assets.” He said never bothering to look at the file. “He won’t be much of a problem. Especially if we can isolate his bodyguard.

“There is also a little girl, Violet Black, fifteen years old, bounced around a lot with her parents. Homeschooled most of her life, did a little public school before taking some online college classes… Wish my kids were that motivated. Anyhow we're still working on some more intel on her. The has records all of the world.” Said the Soldier in the suite.

“Alright, what are these other files from… Harlan Kentucky?” Alan Mansfield asked without every looking up at anyone. “...From the London office? This is out of jurisdiction.” He stated flatly.

The eager middle aged man with glasses was quick to speak. “I asked for them, We know only of one other event like what happened here. That was in Harlan county. No files we have stand out for any reason, just some dumb hillbillies who walked into the circumstance. All of them all unremarkable. Isaac Reynolds, is career criminal specializing in petty theft. Demarcus and Parker Blake, interracial siblings. Demarcus works at a lumber mill and Parker is a waitress at a dinner. Another seventeen year old waitress from Danville named Lynette Marshal and some coal miner named Elijah Craigh. He was in the military, we’re waiting on the DoD to send us his files. From the look of things, local sheriff's office has them all in custody.” The middle aged man with the glasses ended, secure in the fact he had outshined everyone else at the table.

“Alright, get a swat team on the three at the club. Make it as quick as possible, I don’t even want to see this one the news. Got it? I want everything on the this Criagh guy and little girl.” Alan Mansfield said look through the stacks of folders. “We’re done here.”

As everyone left, it was solider that had a concerned look on this face. He could have sworn he had heard the name ‘Craigh’ somewhere but he couldn’t place it.
I'm working on a post for those in Buckhead.

Those in Harlan, just need to get to Eli and can figure what's what from there.
Eli stuck around long enough to answer a few questions. No one really wanted to believe him. However, they didn't have much choice in the matter. They all knew him by reputation and sadly, personal experience. They knew he wasn't one to lie, or to be trifled with. When the question seemed to be done, or at least at short stopping point. Elijah escaped into his run down shack of a house and took one more long pull on his bottle. Packing a few more things into a duffel bag and got ready to leave.

If there was one thing you could always count on in these hills, its that every shit apple redneck was looking for a payday. Cops were no exception. Eli tossed two rolls of money on the table as he walked passed Linehouse. "Going to the station. Problem?" It wasn't a question. Linehouse shook his head and hoped to all that was holy that Elijah was telling the truth. If worse came to worse, Linehouse would tell people he just escaped.

Elijah was a bit of a... Folk lore. The hermit or troll in the cave to stay away from. One day as a teenager he just up and left. Some months later he sent a letter detailing that he had join military and would return one day. People followed his exploits, well they followed as best they could, but details became more and more harder to find. Then one day, out of the blue he had returned. Every now and then some friends would show up and spend a week or two with him but they always kept themselves and stayed out town. All anyone saw of them was a vehicle coming and going.

As time went on, rumors started to spread about Elijah. Why he was always alone, what he did the military, Elijah never listened nor did he care. He just went on about his day and tried not to say too much. Silence was always the best counter. Rumors ranged from a family that was murdered or left him to him being wanted for war crimes. No one was really sure to make for him so they left him alone for the most part. The only people he really ever talked to where those at cash registers, the waiters or waitresses and bartenders. Elijah was may have been cold and silent, but he wasn't rude or impolite. People were scared of him, even law enforcement officers were worried about him. They had good reason to be, he wasn't one to out looking for trouble, but if it found him... G-d help anyone around because it was going to be bad for everyone involved.

Eli wondered how long it would take for him to get pulled over, but the cops never came. As truck sat at the edge of the road. He figured if he was gonna leave these hills, there was only one person he owed anything to. A trip to the grave yard would solve that issue. He pulled into the grave yard and walked to an isolated part, all of the tombstones had the same name of Craigh etched on them. He walked to one with the Ophelia A. Craigh and sat in front of it.

"Well Mama, I've done this time. I think I really stepped in it this time. You know that Wilson boy? Always covered in grease and oil? Found him tied to a tree in the front yard... Looks like he'd been skinned alive." His voice was a bit shaky as he stared off into the distance. Say what you will about Elijah Craigh, but even bad men loved their Mamas. "Adalida and Riley are doing good I hear they moved in some family..." Eli said trying to find the right words.

"I don't know what's going yet, maybe I'll find out but I can't stay here. Every methhead and oxyfiend will be after me before long, and the cops ain't worth a shit around here so I gotta go or be ready to kill a lot of people." He rubbed the side of head with a now sobering hand."I'm sorry I didn't turn out any better. Lord knows you tried Mama... I'll... Tell the girls you said hello if I see them." He bent over, kissed the tombstone and patted it a few times before leaving with a heavy sigh.

I didn't take much longer for Eli to get to the Sheriff's office. He walked in and made his way to the break room and placed one of his bags against the door. "Lorrie." Was the only thing he said, the name of the front desk lady. He sat against the wall, ready to get at least a little sleep before someone came in. There was feeling he was going to need every bit of rest he could get.
