"What the hell are you doing here?!" yelled Kendall exasperatly.
Gustavo looked at him. "Oh, come on, kid. You don't have to be scandalous. I'm just here to pay my respects to your beloved mother".
"Like hell you are" said Gabriel. "Get the hell out, Gustavo. Nobody wants you here".
"Not until I say a prayer for the deceased" he replied.
"You did it, didn't you?" said Kendall. "You poisoned my mother and Carlos and now you're back to the crime scene".
"You know your mother didn't die here, don't you?" said Gustavo mockingly. "Wait, you said Garcia was poisoned, is he alright?"
"What do you care?" said Santy.
"He happens to be my employee!"
"He's fine, but you know what? I'm writing a resignation letter for him" said Santy. He seemed to think about it. "Actually, make them two. Logan's out, too".
"Whatever" said Gustavo. He pushed Santy away, but a little bag fell out of his pocket.
Both men looked at it.
It was rat poison.
BEDROOM
Carlos had fallen asleep, recovering from the poisoning. He had refused to eat anything and decided sleeping was the best way to regain his energy.
Also, Logan had refused to let him out of his sight. The idea of the killer sneaking in and poisoning the snacks without being seen freaked the hell out of him. He was laying next to him on the bed.
"You silly glutton, don't you dare scare me like that again" he whispered.
Carlos opened his eyes. "Hi" he said weakly. "Sorry for that show".
Logan chuckled and kissed him. "You're fine, and that's all that matters".
HOSPITAL
James arrived to the hospital feeling awful. He was starting to have breathing problems, not too big, but enough to make him feel very agitated.
Soon, he saw the person he wanted to see.
"Dak, hi".
Dak turned around. "Hey, James. Is the service over?"
"No, not yet".
"Sorry I had to miss it. I'll call later to give my condolences".
"Ok. Uh, listen, I have a problem".
After explaining what bothered him, Dak seemed a litttle suspicious.
"Tell me, James, do you smoke?"
"No, I think it's nasty" he replied.
"Do you have family history of any lung decease? Cancer? Asthma?"
James thought for a minute. "No, as far as I know. I think my grandma died of lung cancer or something like that, but I'm not sure. Why?"
Dak nodded in understandment. "I could be wrong, but, James, you might have cancer".
KNIGHT'S PUB
Gustavo knelt down to pick up the bag, but Santy was faster. He put a foot on it so Gustavo wouldn't take it.
"Don't even think about it, you bastard" he said. "Oh, look, it's open".
Santy put on white gloves and picked it up. He gave it to Gabriel, to took it with a napkin and gave it to Kelly. She examined it and put it in her purse to take it to the hospital.
"This is ridiculous" said Gustavo. "I'm not the killer! I bought the poison for my club!"
"It doesn't make you look better, Gustavo" said Gabriel. "You could lose the club due to sanitary issues".
Santy took out handcuffs. "Gustavo Rocque, you're under arrest". He read him his rights and the detectives took him to the station.
Meanwhile, Carlos had managed to get up and go to the living room with Logan.
"What happened?"
Kelly approached them. "Your ex-boss was arrested"
"Ex-boss?" said Logan, confused.
Kelly told them the whole story. A few minutes later, Logan seemed to be about to laugh. "Somehow I feel that I want him to be the killer. It'd mean the end of this nightmare and my least favorite person in the world would be out of our lives for good".
"It would also make a lot of sense" said Carlos.
Kelly grinned. "Well, they only have the rat poison as proof. I'm taking it with me to compare it with the poison in the dip".
Katie approached Kendall. "The cars are here". Kendall went downstairs to check. He came back with six men in black who closed the coffin and carried it away.
"Are you sure you can come?" asked Logan. Carlos nodded.
HOSPITAL
"Cancer?" said a stunned James.
"Don't freak out" said Dak. "That would be the worst scenario, you could have asthma or a little infection. But the problem is that you feel pain, isn't it?" James nodded. Dak gave him a piece of paper with an order. "Ok, with this, go to the lab and have a scan. I think in a few hours I'll have the results. Do you want to wait?"
"No, I'll come back" replied James.
"That's ok" said Dak. "Oh, give Kendall my condolences"
"I will".
"And tell Carlos I hope he gets well, too".
James nodded and left. It wasn't until he arrived home, that he realised something.
CEMETERY
It had been a small, but beautiful service. Logan's father had managed to come, and almost everyone spoke about Jennifer.
It was a sunny afternoon, and they were walking across the yard. Carlos looked up and couldn't help but smile. There were a few clouds in the blue sky, the frass was green and even some birds were singing. "Wow, what a wonderful day!"
Everyone stopped on their tracks and stared at him.
"I mean the weather" he quickly said.
"Yep, our Carlos is back" said Jo.
Everyone burst in laughter, and headed home.
POLICE STATION
Santy dragged a handcuffed Gustavo into a cell, and Gabriel closed it.
"Wow, Gustavo. For not being 'guilty' you're being way too obvious of the opposite" said Santy.
"Dammit! I'm not the killer! Neither the so called 'mastermind' behind the murders!" yelled Gustavo.
"Drop it, Rocque. No one will believe you unless you prove your innocence. I can assure you that yelling and making a scancal is certainly not the way" said Gabriel.
Santy locked the cell, and Gustavo glared at them. "You're making a huge mistake, detectives! You want me to prove my innocence? Someone will die soon, and you will have no other choice than to let me go!"
LOGAN'S HOUSE
Carlos left Logan at his house. The sun was falling.
"You sure you don't want to come in? My dad's concerned about you" said Logan.
Carlos shook his head. "I'm fine. I'll go check on my mom, she doesn't need more worries".
Both kissed goodbye and Logan watched him leave.
But there was something.
On their way home, and even by then, he couldn't help but feel they were being watched.
Sorry it took so long, I've been really busy. Actually I still am so I don't know how often I'll be updating. But I will, I promise! You saw the Friends' reference, by the way?
On the next THE HUNTER:
James receives devastating news.
Logan faces someone from his past!
Kendall and Camille are stunned by what they find in Lawrence's belongings.
Jo is shocked to see the truth!
