"Of course, sir. It's a lovely event," Katherine replied, the corners of her mouth lifted in amusement at the Montane patriarch. Either he was a lightweight or really into the pirate he was trying to portray, going so far as to accent his voice. Katherine remembered his voice very clearly, which was why she had tensed when she first heard it. It had been clear and hard during an address to the town and she had watched from the shadows upon her father's orders, ignoring the icy chill going down her spine at the age of fifteen when she thought that if the man knew she was so close that he would kill her. Now, he was rather harmless and her makeup and his own intoxication made it hard for him to recognize her. As long as she remained absolutely at ease, there would be nothing wrong.

Only a second later and he was distracted by guests, leaving Katherine to continue her journey through the slowly filling area. She liked the lights they had installed and took another sip of her champagne demurely. Eyes scanning the crowd for her friends, Katherine had turned her head just as a small object hit the top of Giuseppe Zanotti sandals. It took her only a minute to lock eyes with the owner of the voice that called to her and Katherine gave him a slow appraisal, eyes taking their sweet time in taking him in. He was tall, not Luke's tall six-foot-asshole-frame, but definitely taller than Katherine with and without her heels on. He also had a gorgeous set of blue eyes and while Katherine loved all eye colors, she was a sucker for eyes like his. Finally, her gaze drifted to the item that had dropped - a lighter.

It didn't take but a second for her to actually pick the lighter up and she traipsed over to the guy, a slight sway in her hips, a small smirk playing on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes directly fixed on his. She could have very well tossed it to him and went along her merry little way. But she didn't. He was cute and she wanted to play. Just reaching him, Katherine extended the lighter to him, peeking up at his face from beneath her dark lashes. "Now, what's a cutie like you doing all alone at a party like this? Don't tell me your girlfriend left you unprotected."

Sarah eventually learned to take a hint, leaving Sebastian to his staring out the window into the dark, cloudy abyss and his silence. Which was perfectly fine with him because, knowing and yet not knowing what he as about to deal with, that was all Sebastian wanted. Again, a drink would suffice. Hell, a drink sounded like a small piece of heaven. But he knew that wouldn't work, not if he was supposed to be focusing on the case. Or at least, what they could focus on since the crime scene could have very well been cleaned up or Halloween pranks could have tampered with the scene.

So caught up in his head, he had not been aware when the travel time had passed and they were landing in Maine, the small town being about half an hour away from the airport. Which worked in Sebastian's favor because he genuinely didn't know how he would handle a ride that lasted more than an hour and then try to meet with anyone. He wasn't anywhere near tired, but he knew himself. He would have been far too irate to meet with Paige. Hell, too irate to meet with anyone but a mattress. Preferably in a not so seedy motel. Shaking the musings away, he waited to be told when they could exit the plane, gathering his laptop bag and backpack. His suitcase, which his sister had claimed was too small for a fully grown adult, would be waiting on the conveyer belt. "It was nice to meet you as well," he replied to Sarah, who offered him a shy smile now with a twinge of embarrassment since being rejected. Sebastian's smile, in turn, was tight-lipped but not cruel. "And get home safely." He said nothing more after that, allowing her to lead the way out of their seats, past the stewardess and down the pathway that would lead to the sitting area where other passengers would be waiting to board their own planes.

Something or someone was on his side because it didn't take too long for him to retrieve his suitcase nor hail a cab, and Sebastian was quick to text his soon-to-be partner of his arrival.

To: Paige Connery
About 30 mins away. You still there or is there somewhere else you want to meet?

Getting in the cab, Sebastian sat back in the back seat, one leg crossed over the other and rifling through the paperwork he had already gathered about the small town. The driver must have caught a glimpse through the rear view mirror at a particular piece of paper or something for he decided to cut in through the companionable silence, "You new to North Point?" Sebastian only spared him a quick glance upwards before returning his gaze to the documents, responding distractedly but cleverly, "Yeah, I've got business to settle." The driver let out some kind of noise, of what Sebastian found it hard to name. But it didn't take long for the other guy to return his gaze back to the road and continue speaking. "Well, I've been living in this part of Maine for over a decade now and the only kinda business anyone needs to be having in that town is leaving." One of Sebastian's eyebrows quirked, interested. "You don't say?"

The other man only hummed out of confirmation for a moment, no longer speaking and Sebastian could feel the weight of his unspoken words without even knowing what the guy was going to say. The man seemed to shudder for a moment before shaking his head, a look of resignation in his eyes when he finally met Sebastian's gaze again through the rear view mirror. "That town...that town's not good for new people." He seemed to curse to himself, low and on a whisper, but Sebastian caught the tail end of his sentence: "It's not good for anyone."
