– EYES SLOWLY FLUTTER OPEN AT THE FLASHING LIGHT, and for a moment she thinks it’s some kind of alarm, shooting out of bed. a deep sigh escapes her lips because she should know better by now and she runs her fingers through her hair, tying it back as she counts the beats. a wry smile crosses her lips, she can’t help it. he’s nothing if not predictable, and she shakes her head, leaning back against the wall. “jesus christ.” 

elise throws a sweatshirt on over her camisole and lifts the window up so she can lean out of it to stare him down, knowing that he isn’t going to stop until she does. “i’m awake now, are you happy?” she asks, and she tries her hardest to look pissed at him, but she can’t keep herself from smiling. damn it. “give me five minutes, okay? don’t throw any rocks at my window,” she instructs with a little smirk, closing the window and the curtains behind her. funny that she could close the curtains on any given night to avoid such situations, but she rarely does. 

she pulls on a pair of leggings and laces her sneakers before leaning out the window, “i expect you to be waiting at the door, it’s COLD!” she calls, leaving the window open as she heads down the stairs of her house to his front stoop, yawning on his doorstep. 

When she sticks her head out the window, he flickers the flashlight once more (for good measure, ya know just to make sure she won’t fall back asleep) and excitedly waves to her from across. “Sorry, I only understand morse code. I can’t understand you right now.” he jokes, flashing the light a few more times with a devious smile. When Elise disappears to throw some clothes on, he complies to her request to be waiting downstairs. He practically slides down the bannister of his staircase and shakes the house. At this point, his family could sleep through a nuclear bomb thanks to years of living Terrence though. When Terrence opens the door, he quickly pulls Elise in and drags her up the stairs. “See, this wouldn’t happen if you just used your walkie talkie still. But no, someone went and put it away in a shoebox in her closet.” 

He opens his bedroom door and the scent of cigarettes hits them in the face. He takes a tshirt lying on the floor and begins to fan his bedroom out. “This fucking Topham thing is driving me crazy. You know Kara is even stuck on it? I’m so worked up about this whole thing. You’d think we’d be able to figure out where a stupid piece of paper went.” He stops fanning and motions to the board on his wall. It looks like something a crazy person put together with all the newspaper clippings and pictures hung up, but then again Terrence was arguably insane. “Jessica Conway needs that money. The Kleins are already rolling in so much dough that I’m surprised they haven’t turned into the little Pillsbury guy yet.”

The streets were usually dead this time of night, but the the light’s on Terrence’s car cut through the sleeping darkness of Nick’s street. The boy shuffled around in his car seat to catch any sign of life from the house. He couldn’t tell if the house was still awake or not, but it didn’t stop him from calling Nick’s phone. 

“Get the fuck outta bed, Nicky. Listen, I’ve got the seat warmer on in my car and it’s calling your pretty little cheeks. Me. You. 3 packs of Redbull. A large bundle of red yarn I just bought from the craft store. A frozen bag of pizza rolls. A 4th pack of Redbull. Perhaps some Adderall I stole from my mom’s medicine cabinet. You know what that all means? It’s how we’re spending our Saturday night. Get in the car cause we’re pulling an all nighter, baby. The bad boys of Sedona are gunna whip up some theories for the next Sleuths meeting.”

Terrence liked mysteries, which is why he became so obsessed with Aj when she first came into town. He might have been annoying her with his constant questions and always asking her to hangout with the group, but he found her interesting. Terrence was trying to figure her out, which hadn’t been going anywhere, but some 3am Google searching started driving him into his theory psychosis.

“I figured it out.” he starts, expecting her to know what he’s talking about when he sits down next to her after their class lets out. It takes Terrence a moment of staring at a confused expression to explain himself. “No, I’m not talking about the Topham thing. That’s a backburner project at the moment. No, I’m talking about I figured out why you’re so quiet and like never tell us anything. Have you met us? We’re like the most charming group of people ever.” Terrence goes on, rummaging through his tornado of a bag to look for something. He finally slaps a bunch of articles from online about witches, psychics, and even the wikipedia synopsis for the movie Matilda. “I think you’re a witch-- like a legit witch. The reason I’ve never seen you scratch your nose? Because then you’d accidentally cast a spell like Samantha Stephens.”

Terrence only grew up with one sibling, but having Andrew over as much as he was made him always feel like he had a brother growing up. Not that he didn’t love his sister, but she wasn’t exactly jumping at the opportunity to do some of the things that Terrence liked to do and Terrence didn’t always want to be her guinea pig when she felt like playing makeover. So Drew was over (again) and indulging in Terrence’s pleas to play Super Smash Bros with him. Terrence’s eyes were glues to the TV until the fatal “GAME!” sound played once Terrence’s character went soaring off the platform.

“Goddammit.” he groaned, the back of his head bouncing against the couch and he threw it back in defeat. Terrence leaned forward and reached for the beer and pizza they had ordered that was sitting on the coffee table. “You know I don’t mind you ever hanging out, Drew, but my mom has been saying we should just give you your own toothbrush and sock drawer at this point.” Terrence laughed against the rim of his bottle, playfully kicking Andrew’s leg with his Halloween themed sock. “It’s kinda weird, though. Ya know we’ve been friends forever but I don’t think I’ve been over to your place.” Terrence knows that all the previous attempts at prying have gotten him nowhere, but he can’t help but try again. “Is it because your house is haunted?” he laughed, but for all he knew it could likely be the case. Maybe Drew was just trying to save Terrence from demonic possession like a good friend. “I’m flattered that you want to protect me, but you should know that getting possessed is my life’s goal-- besides getting Jenny at the diner to marry me so I can get her cobbler recipe.”

It was the middle of the night, which was Terrence’s prime thinking time. Through his window you could see the boy pacing around his room muttering to himself as smoke travelled out his window and disappeared with the wind. He was trying to rid his room of the scent of stale cigarettes for two years now, but then something like the Topham case would keep him up all night and suddenly he was driving to the gas station and buying another pack of Marlboros. Terrence almost threw his phone out the window when the alarm reminder to ‘go the fuck to bed’ rang, but stopped himself when he spotted Elise’s window and an idea sprung to mind.

Grabbing the flashlight on his nightstand, he shined it towards the girl’s window in an attempt to get her attention.

... --- ... / .. / -. . . -.. / -.-- --- ..- .-. / .... . .-.. .--.

SOS I NEED YOUR HELP

Was she asleep? Likely. Did he consider that people actually liked to sleep and weren’t up 24/7 like him, Leo, and a Redbull induced Nick? Nope.

-.-. --- -- . / --- ...- . .-. / -.-. --- -- . / --- ...- . .-. / -.-. --- -- . / --- ...- . .-.

COME OVER COME OVER COME OVER. . .

He kept flashing the code over and over and over, not planning on stopping until she stuck her head out and made herself known.

The Sleuths weren’t exactly dripping in diamonds and pearls. Even Kara, who had been left her dad’s fortune, still had to make the most of it so she wasn’t buying cars and Paris trips every week. Maxine, however, came from money and therefore made her the best insight into the world of the Kleins and Topham. When he walked into The Shed and spotted her, Terrence cleared a spot off her desk and sat himself down. 

“Mad Max, you live in a large, and definitely haunted, house. Do you know think you could lose important documents in there? Like if your parent’s will suddenly went missing would you get suspicious?” he asked, crossing his arms as he continued to think. “I know you hate talking about the money thing, but seriously do you think it could just be tucked away in an old ‘Fashionable Canes For Foxy Grandpas’ catalogue in some drawer?”

    Kara was feeling frustrated and stressed out. She’d been making no progress in any of her research. This wasn’t completely unheard of, but it usually didn’t feel quite so defeating. Usually she’d find little bits here and there that would lead her to other research that would lead her farther, and she’d get somewhere. But right now, she was getting nowhere and she couldn’t stand it. She couldn’t do anymore research right now, not for her own sanity. Instead she’d texted Terrence and asked if he was free. Spending time with Terrence always made her feel better. 

    She made her way to his house as quickly as possible and before she knew it, she was standing on his doorstep. Kara knocked on the door and waited. She could feel her heart beat a little faster in her chest. It was ridiculous that she still felt this way right before they hung out, after all these years. But sometimes her excitement got the best of her and she got antsy. It was a conscious choice not to read too much into it. Those were threads she did not want to pull at. 

When Kara texted Terrence asking to come over, he quickly sprang up out from his couch and started cleaning up the living room. Most of the time he didn’t care about what kind of mess the other sleuths walked in on (as poor Elise had to deal with constantly), but something about the girl seeing the half folded laundry he started and Klondike bar wrappers on the coffee table made him actually want to straighten up. When there was the knock at the door, Ava started to run downstairs to get it before Terrence picked his sister up and placed her back on the bottom step of the stairs. “What’s your problem?” she asked, Terrence still trying to shoo her back to her room before another knock came. Not wanting to keep the ginger waiting longer, he opened the door, smiling widely. “Hey, hi, how are ya?” he asked nervously before the voice behind him chimed in.

“Hi, Kara!” Terrence shot his sister a glance before she gets the clue. “Bye, Kara!” Ava sings before running up the stairs, leaving Terrence and Kara alone. “Don’t worry, I didn’t tell her you were having a freak out or anything.” he assures, grabbing her hand and bringing them to the kitchen table. Terrence’s moms weren’t culinary artists, so their kitchen was packed with Aldis chocolate cake instead of fresh baked anything. Even if it wasn’t homemade, Terrence had still cut a slice for her and tried to dress it on the plate for Kara as nice as he could. “Alright, what’s the matter? You look like someone took your favorite book at the library out or something.”

[terrencehq]

Terrence walking into Jenny’s diner like he owned the place wasn’t anything new, but the boy practically trips over himself to get to the counter Nadine is standing at. He doesn’t even wait for Jenny at the front to sit him down and give him a menu before he begins to (as usual) distract Nadine from work. “NAY, not only are you just so lucky enough to be graced with my beautiful face this glorious afternoon, but you get the opportunity-- no-- privilege to hear the breakthrough I’ve made. I’m a genius, Nadine. I’m a fuckin’ genius!” 

Jenny begins to approach the two, but Terrence interjects before she can. “Jenny, love of my life-- I promise I will give you back second prettiest employee, you being first of course, in like thirty minutes, but this is IMPORTANT-- Anyway, Nay, so I’m home in our basement trying to find my old copy of 1313 Dead End Drive, because I’m tired of just playing Uno in The Shed, and my sister walks in and I’m all like, ‘Ava, why are you down here?’ because she hates spiders and she’s like, ‘I’m looking for moms’ will.’ and at first I’m thinking my sister is planning on Ronald Joseph DeFeo Jring our family but she’s all, ‘Someone at school said that Mr. Topham didn’t leave anything to his family so I want to make sure that if mom and mom die then we’re not left poor and homeless because I am not living with grandpa.’ So suddenly I’m like, ‘holy shit!’, drop the search for my favorite childhood board game, and SPRINT here-- Speaking of which--” Terrence turns his body towards Jenny across the diner, who still doesn’t look thrilled, “JENNY, get me a grande eau au citron! Please and thank you!” 

Terrence clears his throats, turning back to Nadine, “There’s no will, right?? I’m thining Topham wasn’t actually just a war vet, but a still-working CIA agent sent to investigate the aliens. When he died the government didn’t want people knowing they’ve been paying him all this money and blow their operation for having agents infiltrate our small midwestern town so they take the will and that’s why it’s missing!” After what seems like forever, Terrence finally stops speaking and just sits there waiting for Nadine’s reaction. “Whaddaya think?”

[ALEX FITZALAN, CISMALE, HE/HIM] have you seen TERRENCE BRADDOCK-KENNEDY around sedona? TERRENCE is a CRIMINAL JUSTICE MAJOR AT SCC, but they're also THE LEADER in the sedona sleuths, so you've probably seen them around the firehouse shed. they're known for being ADVENTUROUS and CHARMING, but they're also known to be NAIVE and IMMATURE. when they're not at the shed, i can usually find them at JENNY'S. i can always recognize them by their (high school yearbook filled to the brim with signatures, conspiracy board with red yarn, old photos hung up that refuse to be taken down, bag that's never been cleaned out, shouting loudly about demons in the local diner).

[ THE LEADER: This role is the glue of the group, the one who holds everything together. They’re probably the planner and organizer, and the one to say, “Let’s split up!” Their role has emerged naturally over time. ]

ABOUT

FULL BIO CAN BE FOUND HERE

Terrence’s grandfather, Stan, is the town crazy dude who has this weird cabin in the woods and believes in Moth Man. He’s a survivalist though, so his mom, Reggie, ended up being super into outdoorsy stuff. She’s now the local park ranger and will take people on hikes.

Reggie met Terrence’s other mom, Gemma (who is the local high school drama teacher), and they fell in love. Kansas ain’t that cool with lesbians though so they hadda go through some shit. They eventually adopted Terrence and his younger sister Ava & now they’re a happy family!

Terrence loved hearing conspiracy stuff and scary stories from his grandfather and his mom. He started loving mysteries because of it and started helping people around town with small tasks and unsolved things. He was super charming so everyone liked him as long as no one brought up his weird family or two moms. 

He’s super nice to everyone and is always willing to help with anything. He’d drop whatever he was doing to lend a hand.

Eventually helped form the Sedona Sleuths and was deemed The Leader. He’s always coming up with the big plans and helping to keep everyone from killing each other. He loves his friends a lot and would legit die for any of them.

He can kind of be selfish and immature sometimes though without realizing it. He means well always it’s just that he’s a dumb boy.

Is going to SCC for criminal justice and wants to become a police officer or detective one day. He basically wants Grimley’s job and doesn’t plan on ever leaving town.

Whenever anyone in the group implies that they’re leaving after graduation he gets super angry about it. The idea of the group breaking up is one of his biggest fears. Terrence is afraid one day everyone is going to go away and he’s going to be the only one left.

HEADCANONS

His sister, Ava, is 16 and goes to the local high school. They’re super close and if anything ever happened to her he’s lose it. 

Even though Terrence is adopted, he says he doesn’t really care about finding out who his real parents are. In reality though, he’s just afraid to find out. Change is something he doesn’t like and the idea of his world turning upside scares him.

He’s closest with his mom Reggie. They go hiking and camping together every weekend that it’s nice out. Ava is closer to Gemma, but the whole family gets along equally.

Stan Braddock is NUTS but Terrence loves his grandpa. He thinks he’s the coolest person in town. One time he tried to teach Terrence how to hunt though until they both gave up and just decided to go back to his cabin and eat baked beans.

Terrence is totally against dating within the group and will give people a hard time for it. His motto is “don’t shit where you eat.”

He carries a backpack around with him that he’s arguably had since 8th grade. it’s so worn out and the group is convinced he’s never cleaned it out. He’s never seen without that or his field journal.

Terrence’s room is covered with newspaper clippings about their cases, a cork board where he puts his latest conspiracy theory down, and a shit ton of polaroids of him and his friends. 

In high school he ran track and got a scholarship to a pretty good university away from town, but turned it down. Everyone thought he was insane for doing it and his coach beat the shit out of him with his clipboard when he heard he didn’t take the offer to go to SCC.

His mom made him do the school plays in high school so he probably roped others in the group into doing it with him.

He drives a really nice car and it’s like the only thing he ever keeps clean.

Literally never sleeps. You can always find him at Jenny’s at like 3am drinking a milkshake and flipping through their latest case. 

CONNECTIONS

ROMANTIC

ONE NIGHT STAND: Terrence is always preaching not to have relationships inside the group, which is why he had a full fledged freak out when he woke up hungover and naked next to this person. They’ve only hooked up once, but it was really fun. Terrence makes them swear to keep it a secret though for the sake of his credibility.

CRUSH: They grew up super close and are maybe even neighbors. Terrence constantly snuck over to their house in the middle of the night to hangout and talk on their roof. Terrence has a crush on them, and maybe they also feel the same way, but Terrence has made it clear that dating within the group can only go wrong. He hides his feelings for them, but he’s constantly laying awake at night thinking about them and there’s been a plethora of paragraph texts he’s sent to his confidant about how shiny their hair is. (taken by KARA)

CLUELESS CRUSH: The boy tends to unintentionally flirt with everyone so it’d not be a surprise if he accidentally caused someone in the group to develop a crush on him. He’d be really clueless that this person likes him and just assumes they’re really close friends. (taken by MILO)

FRIENDSHIP

BROS FOR LIFE: Typical bromance where they’re obnoxiously close. They’re unbashfully affectionate and people in the group probably had theories they might have been secretly dating at one point. They likely call each other “bro” and “babe” all these time & Terrence definitely has made them friendship bracelets. If they ever take them off then you know it’s a serious argument.

THE UNOFFICIAL 5TH BRADDOCK-KENNEDY MEMBER: Maybe someone with a bad family situation that would always come over to The Braddock-Kennedy house growing up? His moms are really cool and they’re all for taking kids when they’re in need. Terrence definitely tried to kick the shit out of whoever was making them show up to his house in tears a few times, but they talked him out of it. (taken by ELISE and DREW)

CHAOTIC STUPID: These two are responsible and okay by themselves, but when you put them together it’s pure chaotic energy. They probably go along with Terrence’s occasional not-so-smart plans while everyone else is screaming at them to not. The group can’t let them sit together anywhere or else the two won’t get any work done. Terrence refers to them as his second in command. (taken by NICK)

PINKY AND THE BRAIN: Terrence is kind of a himbo at times so I’d love him to have a best friend/ close friend that recognizes he’s an idiot, but loves him anyway. He makes them absolutely bonkers and roll their eyes constantly. They can drag him all they want, but as soon as someone else says shit about him then they’re swingin’. (taken by LEO)

CONFIDANT: Terrence goes to them for everything. They somehow have been cursed with receiving his 3am phone calls about his latest case breakthroughs, conspiracies, or about the person he has feelings for. They always take his calls anyway and know all his secrets. Terrence trusts all his friends but something about them makes him run to them first. (taken by NADINE)

NEGATIVE

COCKBLOCK: Two people that had/have strong feelings for each other and either dated or almost dated that Terrence completely WIGGED OUT on when he found out. He made the whole thing super dramatic and guilted them both into breaking up or to not pursue each other. There’s still some bad blood there that might eventually come to a head. This can also be added on to another connection.

TOXIC FRIENDSHIP: Someone that has expressed leaving Sedona after graduation and Terrence is NOT happy about it. They’re super close and Terrence absolutely makes it clear that he’d pull an immature move and not talk to them ever again if they leave. Whenever the subject is brought up Terrence suddenly gets really angry, but he doesn’t realize how toxic he’s really being. He means well, he’s just immature. This can also be added on to another connection.

RIVALS: Terrence doesn’t have a lot of people that dislike him, but these two can’t seem to stop fighting. The guy doesn’t NOT like the other though. In fact, he kind of finds their bickering endearing (even if they do question his authority constantly). Terrence will sometimes pick fights with them when he’s bored and some people in their group are even convinced it’s flirting. Terrence claims they’re frenemies, the other other claims he’s a pain in the ass, and the Sleuths all have a pool to when they’re both going to finally just make out. (taken by MAXINE)
