Roddy calmed down a little when Sirius said he was just checking. Granted, he still wondered what Sirius had meant by that, seeing as the question of whether you murdered someone with rats wasn't really something that one could very well not know. But maybe, Roddy considered, he just was wondering if there was something specific placing Roddy somewhere else. Like whether he was at a rave, as opposed to doing something in the woods, or at home alone, where it would be difficult to prove he was there.

"There are," he agreed, "The hard part is getting them to agree to admit they set up an illegal rave. I'll see if I can get any of them to come forward if Kyle doesn't turn up."
