...; Father shot someone, or something that night, and whatever, or whomever it was, dragged him back to the stables at the hunting club, The Savoy, and cut him to ribbons.  We found mixtures of blood from both he and his attacker."  There was shock in her eyes.  "Why didn't you tell me this before?" she said painfully.  "Gabe," you reply,  "Cal is a member at The Savoy.  And I have reason to believe..." 

Gabrielle's politeness was gone.  "Edward, please!  You're grasping at straws!  Half of New Orleans belongs to that club!  And Cal wasn't wounded, don't you think I would have noticed something like that?  I know you don't appreciate how I feel, but I am going to marry him Edward, and nothing you can say will change that!"  You make an attempt to placate her.  "All I'm asking is that you give me some time; let me sort this out..." She cuts you off suddenly and loudly as Cal returns, "Edward, I'm pregnant."

Edward throws a punch

Uh oh. No one's written this branch yet. :o

Author Guidance for this Story

Rac7hel CHARACTERS:
-- You (Edward) - a police officer in your mid-30's
-- Cal Beauchamp - a wealthy, respected 28-year-old businessman who you know to be a murderer.
-- Gabrielle - your 19-year-old sister who is engaged to Cal and recently pregnant.
-- Joseph - normal-looking 30-something-year-old guy who does Tarot readings on the street.
-- Old man - an old man who dresses like a gypsy and works on the street, saying creepy rude things to people for money.
-- Nicolas Dias - depends on who you ask.

SETTING:
New Orleans, present day. Well, let's say pre-Katrina to keep it simple.

STYLE:
The title is Outsmart because the characters are constantly lying and hiding things from each other. OR ARE THEY??? Everyone has his own agenda and probably doesn't want to reveal what that is. But somewhere, deep inside this story, there really is a coherent plot.

NOTE:
If you want to add to the story and wish to know a little more of what Jillian and I are planning, email me and I'll be glad to fill you in!
