Reed ran his fingers through the matted mess of hair that sat atop his head. He made a small pissed off noise, his body hunching over to get a closer view of the computer screen that demanded his immediate attention. His emerald eyes flicking quickly up to the top left hand corner of his screen before flicking back to the centre of the screen to watch his character. He hated and loved MOBA’s all at the same time. He hated the community that was filled with casual players that fucked up his win loss ratio and idiots that wouldn’t know their keyboard from their elbow. He gave out a soft low growl, his fingers moving furiously over his keyboard. His other hand threw his mouse to the side as the taunting voice of the announcer whispered in his head.

“Defeat”

Reed swore loudly, glad he lived alone on the campus else his gaming endeavours would more than likely cause his roommate no end of sleepless nights. He pushed away from his desk and spun on his desk chair, leaning into the tall leather back of the seat. His brilliant green eyes flicked around the room covered in game collectables, posters and all other nerdy money sinks that he had picked up. He pulled his glasses off, holding them by one of their arms and he began to rub his eyes with his free hand “fucking…idiots….” He growled again before getting up and flicking the lights on. He squinted slightly and walked to his wardrobe; setting out a black shirt, black pants and a red tie. He went into his bathroom and had a quick shower before getting dressed, the red tie hanging loose around his collar. He sighed gently, his fingers finding his phone and pushing it into his pocket. He tied up his bright red converse. He stepped out of his room and furrowed his eyebrows, people were bustling about shouting and whispering in their groups.

“RED RUM!” someone shouted.

Reed looked at his phone, messages flooding through his feed. Someone had been murdered. Reed shrugged slowly, it wasn’t someone he knew. He walked through the crowds, preparing to get his errands in order before concerning himself with this new situation that had arisen.
