The news of Tommy's death had hit Ellie and her family like a bomb. Her parents were devastated, always hoping that their prodigal son would come back home. Ellie had lost her only sibling, and best friend. She kept hoping that she could get him into rehab, but now it was too late. The call had come late, and Ellie had rushed to the apartment he owned to gather personal items and see what the police knew. They said that it was over drugs, and that there was little they could do. That wasn't good enough for Ellie, and she planned to do more.<br/><br/>Tommy's, or "Spider's," apartment was disgusting. He had always been messy, but finding all the drugs and various accessories made Ellie almost sick to her stomach. She had never gotten into that, and she never planned to. Heck, she was even a lightweight when it came to alcohol. The only things that she grabbed were family photos, his laptop and a blanket that she had made for him in junior high. She managed to make it through that without crying, but she went to her hotel room that night and sobbed pitifully. Her parents just couldn't bear to come and see their son's final remains, so she identified the body...although it was difficult...and vomited afterward.<br/><br/>All this made her determined to figure out something. The rage at his death was enormous, and she wanted to find the killer. No matter if it was drugs, that didn't matter. Tommy was still a young man who could have had a bright future, and now he was dead. She wouldn't stand for that. They would pay.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>She had asked various police officers and neighbors about where she could get information, and they had suggested Club Ecstasy. It really wasn't her kind of scene, but she was naively fearless, and it seemed like the best lead. She put on a red dress and black heels, trying to look as sophisticated as she could. It wouldn't do to look like a country bumpkin, although she couldn't quite pass off as a city girl yet. Her red curls were loose and down her back, and her pale skin was even more pale under the club lighting. She arrived and managed to get in by a few eyelash flutters at the bouncer and an innocent smile or two. Once she was in, she went to the bar and decided to start there. She began showing the most recent photo she had of Tommy around and seeing if anyone knew him. Unfortunately, no one had, and she was beginning to wonder if this was all a big mistake.<br/><br/>Her Dress (http://images.urbanoutfitters.com/is/image/UrbanOutfitters/16380248_60_b?$detailmain$)
