    "Oh great, more paperwork!" moaned a man in a blue top hat and tux in a mask. He was known as Blue Midnight, a superhero. His son hit him on the back and laughed. "You love paperwork what are you worried about," said his son laughing. 
"Get out of my hair boy," Blake snapped at his son Lance who was dress similarly in blue. 
"You'd think you didn't love me," said his son sarcastically. 
"Not now I'm on a case Enchanter," Blake then said accusingly "The Necromancer Murdered another person." 
"Oh, that is terrible! Did I know them?" Lance asked. 
"You tell me! We can't id them. We are going to have to do DNA tests and tooth tests, not much left of them," Blake said disgustedly. 
"That bad eh!" Lance said sadly. 
"That's not the only one, he struck again yesterday," Blake said. 
Lance lost the sarcastic manner he had. He looked shocked. 
"The other murder wasn't him someone framed him! He's innocent as a lamb," Lance said. 
“I could never call him a lamb, he's a wolf,” Blake said.
