The Crow: Surrender The Night

"People once believed that when someone dies a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead, but sometimes something so bad happens that a terrible sadness Is carried with it, and the soul can't rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, the crow can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right."
It was a rainy night, Red lights and sirens feeling the air, Mikey looks out the round window above the crime scene and the once residents loft. He looks down to see the police covering up Gerard Draven's body. "Devil's night. on night when all hell breaks loose." He mumbles and gets another look at the home before going back to the ground.
Paramedics are working on a bleeding Lindsey and cops dusting for finder print and working around in the scene. He comes across a wedding invitation on the ground. he picks it up and reads it. "Huh" "Who would have their wedding on Halloween." he thought with an oddity. "Hey sarge!" a cop calls and gestures to a wedding dress on the ground. "Yeah. Lindsey Webster and Gerard Draven. Wedding was tomorrow night." He said simply. "Who the fuck gets married on Halloween anyhow?" The cop asks hastily. Mikey looks away to the rest of the crime feeling a sorrow for the couple. "Nobody."
"Sir? we got to move her." One the paramedics call out urgently. "Do it!" he orders. They nod quickly and proceed to do so.he runs a hand through his blonde hair and sighs. "Devil's fucking night! What's the count so far?" The other cop asks. "A hundred and forty three fires." he puts his hands on his hips and looks across the the street. Fire fighters were putting out a fire. Above their head on a telephone pole a crow lands on it and watches. "Their slakin' off from last year!" the cop exclaims. "Three hours to go. maybe their slow starters" Mikey laughs. "Slow starters my ass, chaotic terrorizing slums." Runs through his head.
The head of the police Ray arrives and asks a word with him. "Look Sir, she's in critical condition and we got to move her!" he protest after Ray demands a wait. "I realize that, but you can't come in here and move her like this. We got procedures to stick by. You guys shoulda cleared tis with me first. This the victim?" he motions over to Lindsey. "No, it Amelia Earheart, detective, we found her and you missed it." he retorts. "I don't care what her name is, I didn't give the order to move her. Jesus Mikey, I can see why they took away your gold shield." he joke sarcastically shaking his head at Mikey. "Yeaah.." Mikey rolls his eyes. "I wasn't big enough an ass-hole. c'mon lets go."
Bandit's Pov
I was riding on my skateboard to Gerard and Lindsey's place. I was so filled with excitement, because their wedding was tomorrow night, on Halloween! a magical night. When I go there I skidded my skateboard when I saw police and ambulance over at their place. No no no nothing bad happened did it? I have a bad feeling. I tuck my skateboard close and push through the crowd and head to the ambulance. There was Lindsey bloodied and wounded lying there,helpless. "Lindsey?" by breathe catches in my throat. "Stay back kid." some police guy in a blue uniform and and blonde hair holds and arm out stopping me. "Gerard?" she calls out.
"Just don't worry about him." the police guy say. Who is he to say that? "Tell him to take care of Bandit. "Look I will. just lay back. c'mon c'mon." They load her into the ambulance and drive away. I watch after the vehicle, wondering and confused and sad. The police guy turns to me. "You bandit?" he pulls me off to the side. "Yeah." I look down and rub my arm across the skateboard.
"Yeah, look. your sister....she's gonna be ok." He didn't sound so sure. I look back at him, yea he's lying. "She's not my sister. Lindsey just takes care of me.She's my friends Her and Gerard. You lied to her about Gerard." "Look I had to." he defended calmly. "And your lying to me about Lindsey, she's going to die too?" I know I just do. a twinge of loss starts building up in my heart, but i'm able to keep calm and normal. "Hey.... uh c'mon now come on... s okay she's gonna be fine." he lays a hand on my shoulder trying to comfort me. I know that in my heart things change and this night will happen one year later..
