...can't dismiss. Dias is one of them. I belive he's the most likely to be able to help me, but there's a problem. The reason he's so caught up in all this is that he absolutely despises evil. He hates evil a lot more than he loves good. He'd much rather kill me than cure me."

"I see," you offer. "So... Have you any idea how I should go about getting information from him? Besides just telling him that I suspect someone and seeing if he tells me anything about the condition..."

"You'll have to use that sharp mind of yours, Edward. But be careful not to give him too much information or get him personally involved. The last thing I need is for Nicolas Dias himself to be hunting me." You stare at each other unblinkingly for the last few seconds that you're alone.

Gabrielle enters the room beaming, somehow smiling at each of you individually yet simultaneously. "Dinner is served," she declares, and turns around. You and Cal follow her into the dining room.

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!
