It was the end of the school day and Eddie went straight into his room, Fabian was already in there reading
Fabian: hey Eddie
Eddie: hey Fabian (walking towards his bed)
Eddie noticed a piece of paper sealed up with a red ribbon on his bedside table addressed to Eddie
Eddie: (picking it up) what's this
Fabian: (looking up) what? Oh that, that was there when I came in
Eddie: should I open it?
Fabian: I think that is what the sender intended you to do
Eddie: yeah, your right
Eddie sat down on his bed and started to open it
Eddie: (in his head) (reading the Letter) the time has come, someone from my family is near you, and it could be anyone, friends, family, girlfriend, even someone in the same room as you.
I won't give away too much but they are worse than me and they are coming for you and you will feel your world being turned around.
(Signed Josh)
Eddie: Fabian you didn't see anyone who could have written this could you
Fabian: no, why, what does it say
Eddie: check for yourself (passing Fabian the letter)
Eddie: Fabian you were very close with josh
Fabian: yeah, so were you
Eddie: your not related to him are you
Fabian: oh Eddie, don't be silly, why would you even think that
Eddie: I don't know, look what he put at the bottom
Fabian: (reading out loud) "friends, family, girlfriend, even someone in the same room as you", he's just trying to make you paranoid
Eddie: yeah, your probably right, sorry buddy (patting him on the shoulder)

Patricia crept over to the Shoe cupboard and opened it and saw Fabian there tied up
Patricia: Fabian! (She knelt down to untie the ropes when there was a thud behind her, she turned around to see another Fabian standing there, he ripped off his mask and it was Josh
Josh: Hello, Patricia (carrying ropes)
Patricia: oh crap
Fabian: mhmhmhmh (tied up)
Later in a different location
Patricia: Fabian, Eddie's gone
Fabian: I know. I heard
Josh: So Patricia you are going to tell me what Eddie whispered to you (putting on a Mask of Eddie)
Patricia: no, im not scared of you, and I bet you don't sound anything like Eddie
Josh: (in Eddie voice) cause I do yacker
Fabian: that was pretty good
Patricia: what are you making there anyway
Josh: something's I learnt from Fabian
Fabian: and what's that
Josh: I am going to brain wash you to Hate Eddie Miller and Love me and there is nothing you can you about it
Patricia: oh is that right, how are you planning on doing that then
Josh: I know you are just trying to long the conversation out because you are hoping that Eddie will come but if you haven't noticed he left, it was all my plan just make him paranoid until he cracked into pieces and then left
Patricia: now who's longing it out
Fabian: shh be quiet Patricia
Josh: you are being very calm Patricia, I hope you don't have a plan, because it isn't going to work, my little sun shine
Fabian: (mouthing) sun shine
Patricia: but you didn't know…
Josh: enough (taking off the mask)
Patricia: wait just let me finish my sentence, rude; you don't know how clever Eddie actually is
Josh: your talking too much that can only mean one thing
He saw a rope go over his head and strangled his neck
Eddie: Surprise Josh
Josh tried to throw Eddie off of him
Josh stopped struggling and fell down
Eddie let go and ran over to Fabian and Patricia and began to un tie them when…
Patricia: Eddie behind you
(Bang) Josh hit Eddie over the head with a chair
Eddie's head hit the floor
Eddie:ow (touching his head to find out it was bleeding)
When he looked up he saw Josh standing over him with a sharp thing in his hand
Eddie: wait, can you just answer me, why do you want to ruin my life it isn't because I got you expelled or almost killed you it is something different
Josh: does the name Andy Watts ring a bell to you
Eddie: (swallows) yeah

Eddie: (crying) Im sorry, im so so sorry
Josh: crying and apolizing isn't going to bring my brother back is it

Eddie: do it then
Patricia: no don't do it, Eddie think about it
Eddie: just let me get up and I will sort this out
Eddie got up
Eddie: now, if you kill me then you are just as bad arnt you
Josh: stop trying to get out of it, can I ask why you killed him
Eddie: ok, he beat up this girl and I jumped on him and thumped him in the chest I tried to stop myself but I couldent, it was an accident, ok
Josh: but you hit a girl too don't you remember amber at the table today
Eddie: oh josh that was all an act, I knew something was up as soon as I saw the letter on my bed side table, you don't know how to be Fabian, I didn't hurt amber at all she was in on it the whole time and what I whispered in Patricia's Ear watch out for Fabian that's not him, and ill be back and gave her a tracker device so I knew were you were
Josh: Patricia was right, you are clever
Eddie: well
Eddie: Josh, please let us go and just forget about everything
Josh: forget about everything, I cant forget that you killed my brother, the best brother in the world he was
Eddie: I know and again I am sooo sorry but it was 7 years ago we were young, I know I cant bring andy back but keeping us here or killing me isn't going to bring him back either
Josh put down his weapon
Josh: (crying) (sigh) go, go quickly before I change my mind
