[August 31st, during the day]
Normally he and his dad would do something fun for his birthday, but since that wasn't really doable this year with his dad being in jail, he'd visited him earlier that day. His dad had told him where he'd stashed some money that he'd planned to use to buy Roddy a present and told him to buy himself something nice, and so that's what Roddy ended up doing when the visit was over. First he stopped by the music store, buying himself an electric violin he'd had his eye on for a while as well as a small amplifier for it, before going to a bakery and buying himself a cheesecake.
He headed home, and after having a small meal and eating some of the cheesecake and generally feeling far more depressed than he'd like to have been on his eighteenth birthday, before testing out his new violin. After a bit, he decided he'd rather be around people, so headed out to the Hillingdon House to hang out for a while.
August 31st, evening]
Later that evening, he decided he needed to do something about the whole 'suspected murder' thing. While having Kyle show up got him a witness to where he'd been that night other than the people who ran the thing (who he wasn't sure if they'd want to talk to the police, considering they'd thrown an illegal rave), his dad was still a suspect. Sure, he'd be in trouble either way, since he'd punched a cop, but a first time charge for assaulting an officer was far less than murder. And so he hatched a plan.
Texting each of the three boys he'd concluded played a part in the murder, Roddy made it look like a mass text from someone at their school. Since they didn't know his number, they'd have no reason to suspect anything, and he just typed 'Retchid Kat is playing tonight at an underground rave', before texting the information. Then, with a swarm of rats behind him, he grabbed his cat head, violin and amplifier, and headed to the old abandoned warehouse that he'd told them the rave would be at and waited.
When the time drew near he'd set up the violin and slip on the cat head, and start playing some music, using the more electrical sound of the violin to make it sound more like a rave before they came in. There were long hallways before they reached the area he was in, but they'd be able to follow the sound, and from there...well, he'd use the swarm of rats, whose numbers had grown now that they were in a warehouse, where more rats had been living, as well as the fact that they wouldn't know who he was or how he knew so much, to scare them into talking. His cell phone was set to record anything they might say.
September 3rd onward
In the days that followed, it became clear to Roddy he'd need a job if he wanted to keep paying the bills. His dad had some money set aside, but not very much, and while Roddy was looking into any musical gigs available, and so he can be found at any places of business around Hillingdon, as well as in Redbright or Night Council territories putting in applications.
[OOC: If anyone's interested in posting to the plot to catch the real killers, feel free to run into him on the way there, in the middle of things, or after, just specify which. Otherwise, I'll just assumed all went according to plan.]
