Cocktails With Clive -- "Death in the Library" Wine

by Clive Zarabet

-Pour one flask of Green Fairy Absinthe into a crystal wine flute that's been freezing its base off on a cushy assignment in the capital
 
-Add iced Verin Vineyards Cranberry Rosé (the fancy shite they serve the professors at the Great Library) until the mix attains the proper opalescent milkiness
 
-Drink three to five of these slowly while you ponder how the hell this Hornsworth bugger got 'imself murdered protecting a dead city beneath a feckin' library.
 
Not to mention how the hell we're getting ourselves into trouble with this Mercy kid again.
 
All the while wondering why Zadrick felt the need to bust the feckin' head librarian's door down.
 
Crikey. So many suspects. The Head Librarian herself? Heygard, the shady, accusatory bloke? Meredith, the jumpy gal? Erin, the high-achieving braggart? Mercy??? I avoided school drama for the most part when I did my time, it's dismaying that I'm back at it again. Ah, well; a job's a job.
