"Well…what do we have here…a serial killer, a letter T, and a trail that's leading to nowhere." Rachel said to Cooper before taking a bite of her pie. "After investigating two places where she worked…we're not getting any leads. Our trail is stone cold."
Cooper smiled "At the moment yes, but we won't know for sure until the lab reports come back. I'm hoping that they'll bring up something, but I do agree, this case will probably go cold and we'll be leaving here in a few days."
Rachel began to play with her food, thinking about the dead girl. She was only a few years younger than Rachel. It was quite hard for her to grasp it. How could someone who is just finding who she is be killed by some psycho killer?
"What do you suppose that letter meant?"
"I really don't know. Maybe a name of something…maybe.."
"Do we have any other cases with people having letters in their nail beds?"
"No…that's what's so weird about this case. We can tell it's a serial killer, but we don't have enough evidence."
"Maybe the lab reports will come back with something.."
"Maybe."
Cooper looking just as confused as she did, smiled and said 'So, how do you like your pie?"
"It's great. The cherry pecan wasn't so good though."
"I thought the same thing."
Rachel smiled and checked her watch.
"We should probably get going Coop, since it's going to be a bit of a drive to the hotel."
Cooper nodded and took the last bite of his pie. After arguing about who was going to pay the bill. The two left and headed back to the hotel.
I was walking in the woods. I saw a train car I heard screams. Oh god… it's dark, cold, and dark. I can sense fear. It's surrounding me like a cloud of smoke. She's screaming…god make her stop screaming. It's so scary here.
I'm now in the train car. He's scary…so scary. I'm afraid. I'm really afraid. He has something. He-he-he hits her on the head with it. She screams, god, I've never heard a scream like that before. Death…I can sense death. He's laughing now, hysterically. He's saying something…wait I can't hear it…shhh…I can hear it.

FIRE
WALK WITH ME
Rachel awoke in a cold sweat. Cooper stood over her, his face full of concern.
"Rachel, speak to me Hun, are you alright?"
"Yeah." She said trying to catch her breath "A nightmare…that's all."
"You were screaming in your sleep. You want to tell me about it?"
Rachel sat up, her back against the headboard. "I was in the woods…In a train car…there was screaming, death, a man-a killer. He said something…a poem…I can only remember one line…"
"What is it?" Cooper asks, now sitting on the bed besides her.
"F-f-f-f-Fire…Fire Walk With Me."
Rachel collapsed, Cooper held her in his arms. She began to cry tears of fear.
"It was so scary…I've never been so scared in my life."
"Shh…it's alright." Cooper said, trying to comfort her. "I'll stay up until you fall asleep."
Rachel nodded and sunk back down into the covers. She then drifted back to sleep.
Cooper had never seen anyone that scared before. He knew something was terribly wrong…
Author's note: You know the drill…I DO NOT OWN THE CHARACTERS OR THE POEM FIRE WALK WITH ME. That was somewhat bad…but I thought the dream was ok…
