"Today we are gathered here to lay a wonderful person into eternal slumber. Martha Grace Cox will always be remembered as the girl with a wide smile on her face, and her readiness to help others."

I stepped closer to Gabby. Since the killings began, no one was able to really attend any of the services but killings or not most people students and teachers alike came to Martha's. Even though after Martha told other people about my secret I forgave her, and I'm glad I did. I wouldn't be feeling great amounts of guilt and not being able to forgive her. Martha apologized and I forgave. Ryan was probably taking this harder than anyone else. Ryan and Martha would occasionally date, and I think Ryan felt something for Martha but neither of them seemed to be in much of a hurry to make anything official.

Looking across the sea of people in black, Sharpay had her arms wrapped around Ryan while Ryan was fighting tears. Chad grabbed my hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. Since the teenager lock-down Chad was itching to take me to get that ice cream he promised but I had to tell him that we had time, ice cream was probably going to be around forever and we could get a scoop at any time.

As the ceremony ended, it was strictly back to lock-down for most of us teenagers. Even though Martha's parents were pretty overcome with grief they understood that the lives of their daughter's classmates had to be saved. Of course before my group left the cemetery we all gave Martha's parents hugs and words of apology. Martha's mom invited us to come over whenever we wanted; even though Martha was gone she would still like the company. We all agreed. Our parents head counted us, ushered us in cars and drove us to Sharpay and Ryan's mansion.

For the next couple of days they were hard for Ryan, but I stayed close to him and the rest of us did too. Ryan finally broke down at about day five and I was the shoulder he cried on. When Ryan waterworks started we were playing Monopoly and when Jason landed on the boardwalk it seemed to trigger something.

"Martha always bought that land."

Chad was about to roll the dice when I stopped him. "She did? That must have been her favorite place." I said.

Ryan nodded his head and a smile crossed his face. "I used to hate when I would land on that place, Martha always made me go bankrupt with that damned spot."

Ryan quietly laughed and looked down at his money; I put my hand over his. "She was the best at Monopoly. No one was even worth a match against her."

I guess my words had finally broken something down in Ryan because he nodded his head and put his head in his hands. "Chad, your turn roll the dice."

Chad looked at me and I nodded my head. While Chad rolled, I wrapped an arm around Ryan and rubbed his arm. Ryan fell into my shoulder and began to cry. When I felt hot tears on my shoulder I wrapped Ryan into a hug.

"I'm sorry Taylor." Ryan said as he tried to break free from me. I still had Ryan in a hug.

"Ryan, it is okay to cry you know. No one would judge you. Crying only makes your stronger." I said.

Ryan raised his head. Behind his blue glassy eyes, pain was present. Ryan's eyes weren't the warm and happy eyes that they normally were, instead his eyes reflected pain. Ryan finally couldn't hold it in and tears leaked from his eyes. I pulled Ryan close and Gabby hugged both of us to her. I couldn't help but shed my own tears as well.

"Let it out Ry, let it out." I coached.

Once I started crying it wasn't long until all the girls started to cry. The guys, I'm not sure if they started crying but I burrowed my face in Ryan's hair and started crying along with him.

After our cry session, Ryan seemed a little less sad. Of course he would probably hold a place in his heart for Martha but for now he was wasn't in as much pain. Four weeks had past and no one else was killed. Our parents told us if five more days went by and no one else was killed they'd let us go outside for a little while. Six days had passed and no one else was killed.

"Mom please? Can we go? Pllllllease? It's just up the street and it would just be for lunch. We would go straight there and back." Gabby pleaded.

"Besides, all the other kids will be there. It's free lunch at the Ploymer. Please?" Sharpay tacked on.

"So let me guess, if the other kids were going to jump off of a-"Maria began.

"No, we wouldn't be stupid to jump off of a bridge mom that's what bungee jumping is for. Please mom. Just please."

The parents sighed. "We did tell them five days, it has been six. And they would have their phones on them, and it is just up the street. We can get them pretty fast." Jack Bolton suggested.

The parents took a moment and then gave in. Everyone cheered and within ten minutes we were loaded up in cars with our parents driving us. When we got to the diner, our parents gave us money just in case and they made us turn all of our phones on loud so we could hear. The slightest commotion and we were to call them immediately.

"Yes mom." We all droned.

Of course we got evil looks, but our parents gave us smiles and kicked us out of the car. Gabby grabbed my hand and Sharpay grabbed Gabby's free hand Laughing and joking we began to walk to the diner. Turning around, I looked at our parents. Every parent's face held worry, but Sarah's face held the most worry. I mouthed, 'I love you' to Sarah and she mouthed back the same. I knew that if I was killed today, Sarah would feel so much pain and hurt but at least I was able to tell her I loved her. Once our parents drove off, Chad grabbed my other hand and together we all walked into the busy diner.

"My favorite kids are here."

"Hi Catherine, how are you?"

Catharine was a waitress that always catered to most people that came into the diner. But apparently we were her favorite kids because we were always not leaving a mess and we could clean up other neighboring tables before she got to them.

"I'm doing well. It's good to see you kids out and about, for a while business has been dead, with the killings and all." Cat hung her head. "I'm sorry about Martha."

Ryan put his head down for a minute then shook his head. "Thanks. It means a lot to us."

Cat smiled then grabbed out her pencil and paper, "What can I get you guys? Anything and everything on the menu is free today."

"Whoo!" Jason cheered.

Everyone laughed and ordered. While we were waiting for our food I took in how busy the diner really was. Where my group was seated was at the front near the kitchen. We were lucky to even get these seats. Chad was on the end and I was in between him and Troy. The diner wasn't that big but big enough to house most of East High and a few other people. Naturally where there was free food, teens followed. Gabby and the girls excused themselves to the bathroom and the guys except for Chad went to go and talk to some of the guys from the basketball team.

Chad caught eyes with Rob, the guy that usually filled drinks.

"Hey man, can you get me two bowls of chocolate ice cream with sprinkles?" Chad asked.

Rob nodded his head and scooped up two big bowls of ice cream and brought them to us. Chad handed him a ten and gave him a thank you. I gave him one too.

Chad held up his spoon. "To being free for a little while."

"Cheers." I said with a smile.

Chad and I dug into our ice cream. Taking a careful spoonful, I looked over at Chad. Chad looked up from his ice cream and gave me a smile. Then I noticed he had some ice cream on his chin.

Rubbing at the spot on my chin, Chad looked at me then rubbed at his cheek.

"Did I get it?"

I shook my head and tried again. "It's right there."

"Here?" Chad missed again.

"Let me get it for you. You'll scare off any girl game your trying to get."

"Girl game? What is that?" Chad questioned.

Laughing before I knew what I was doing I lowered my face and kissed Chad's chin licking up the ice cream in the process. Sitting back with a blush I mumbled that I got it and went back to my ice cream. I could feel Chad's eyes on me and it only made me blush harder.

"Hey, you have some ice cream on your nose."

Becoming in embarrassed I wiped my nose and I asked Chad if I got it.

"Here, let me get it for you. You'll scare off any suitable suitors within a twenty-five mile radius."

Chad swooped in and kissed my nose.

"You guys always do the cutest things when we aren't around don't you?" Gabby chided.

Chad and I both blushed, and the girls laughed. I knew I wasn't going to be living that one down for a while. The guys came back and gave Chad smiles and lifty eyebrows. When the food came, Chad and I became the most interested in our food. While we were in the middle of eating, an older gentleman got up. He had a cane and was balancing a few empty plates in one hand while trying to walk to the counter. The older gentleman made it about half way, when Brandy, a snooty cheerleader bumped into him. It sent him and his dishes cluttering to the ground.

"Watch where you're going old man, God, you people need to be put in a home and kept there." Brandy walked back over to her friends.

Chad and I both got up and walked over to the man. I picked up the dishes that were on the floor and Chad helped the man up.

"Are you okay sir? I know Brandy is a tad bit rude but she's usually a sweet girl." I commented.

The older man laughed. "Oh, don't worry about it. I should have watched where I was going, after all, I don't move as fast as I used to." He gestured to his cane.

"It's still no excuse; she shouldn't have knocked you down like that." Chad commented.

"That's life to her. There are people that knock you down, and there are people that will help you up." The older man smiled at me and Chad.

While Chad helped the man back to his table, I walked the dishes up to the counter. I walked back over to Chad and the man was thanking Chad and I for helping him up.

"It's not a problem. You're supposed to help others when they need help." Chad said.

I nodded my head. The man began to dig out his wallet and pulled out two twenty dollar bills and offered them to us.

"Oh no thank you sir." Chad refused the money and I shook my head. "We're just glad you're okay. Can we get you anything?" I asked.

The man shook his head and placed one of the twenties on the table and put the other one in his wallet.

"No thank you kids, I'll just be on my way. Thank you again for your help."

Chad helped the man up and offered to walk him to his car, the man refused. Chad and I watched the man hobble away. When Chad and I walked back to our seats, our friends were watching us.

"First you two mac on each other then you two save the day. Is there anything else you two won't do?"

"Maybe Taylor could call someone?" A voice called out.

We all turned our heads, and my face lit up. I launched off of my seat and into Shea's arms. Then I jumped on Braiden.

"Shea and Braiden! What are you two doing here in Cherry Grove?" I asked.

"We heard about the murders here and you weren't returning my calls, let alone calling me so Braiden and I caught a flight and came to see you."

I hugged them both again, then turned and looked at my friends. "Oh, Shea and Braiden these are my friends I was telling you about." I pointed to each person and called out names. Everyone waved at each other, and then Gabby made room for both of them.

"So you're the friends that saved Taylor from her dad then?" Chad questioned.

Both nodded their heads. "We thought Taylor was a goner that day. She was losing so much blood we thought we wouldn't make it to the hospital in time."

"But we did and next thing we know Taylor and Sarah were on their way leaving the state and back here. Taylor was so happy to get out of town, with her dad rotting in prison and she put some major miles between him, I would imagine that life is going good again?"

"Yup, today is the first day of being off of lockdown."

"Yeah we heard, Sarah informed us that you were here actually. So she drove us here when we stopped by your place."

I smiled and before I knew it all of us were laughing and swapping stories. Most of them of course were about me. Embarrassing alike, but unlike Chad I took it and laughed along with everyone. Time flew by and our parents came and picked us up. Shea and Braiden were introduced to parents and we were all shuttled to Troy's house. Just because it had been a few days, the parents wanted to be safe and keep us together a few more nights. We had fun and we were all passed out by ten p.m.

Two weeks later

"I knew it was too good to be true. And just when I was getting used to sleeping in my own bed again." I grumbled.

"Today, Brandy Harris was found dead at the bottom of the local swimming pool at Dry Oaks Community Park. Authorities were called early this morning and have closed down the park until more information can be found. Sounds like our teens are going back on lockdown tonight." The news reporter informed.

Sarah looked at me and I turned on my heel. "I'll go and tell Shea and Braiden to pack."

Within half an hour, our group including Shea and Braiden were sitting on Chad's couch with cereal bowls and watching cartoons with his younger sisters. Most of us weren't upset about being back together but at the same time we didn't care, as long as food was available we'd go anywhere. Chad's sisters were cuddled up close to me and we were watching episodes of Wix Club.

"Guys, I need to know something." I asked.

"What?"

"No offense or anything but do you guys miss sleeping in your own beds?" I asked.

The whole group responded. "Only person that has it made right now is Chad. He can go and climb in his bed and sleep." Ryan complained.

Chad chewed his cereal then swallowed. "I have no issues with anyone climbing in my bed and sleeping in it."

"You want Taylor to raise her hand first." Gabby joked.

Olivia turned to me. "Taylor, what is Gabby talking about?" Olivia asked.

I gulped down my cereal and tried not to choke. "Sweetheart she means that she's volunteering me to help you guys make up your beds later."

"Or maybe right now." Lily ordered.

The girls groaned and got up. They marched into the kitchen and then upstairs to make up their beds.

"Chad, she meant you too you know." Ryan joked.

"Oh unlike them, I make up my bed before I leave my room. They were excited to know that Taylor was coming over."

"Aww, so they see you like an older sister Taylor?" Shea asked.

"Uh huh, Taylor can do no wrong in their eyes." Chad responded.

Troy picked up the remote and flipped through the channels.

"It's just in, another teen has been murdered and was found-"

"GO BACK!" We all screamed.

Troy flipped the channel back. "Tracy Davis has been found dead in her bedroom. This is of course a few hours since our last report. It seems that our killer is back. More details to come."

"Crap! Now we're really stuck on lockdown." Kelsi complained.

We nodded our heads and abandoned our cereal bowls. Chad put his head in his hands and everyone seemed to be down. Andrew walked into the living room.

"Geez, am I that unwanted?"

No one laughed; instead I grabbed the remote and pressed the rewind button. I let it play and Andrew watched. Once the recording ended, he quickly walked out of the room. It was going to be a long lock-down period.

"I really need to go to the store mom. Please just come with us; I've worn everything in my closet twice. When I go back to school it won't feel new." Sharpay complained.

"Sharpay you know you guys can't." Sharpay's mom responded. "Why don't you just shop online and get it delivered?"

"Because mom it's not the same. And besides, we haven't had sunshine in days."

"We're doing it to keep you kids safe. And it's not like you guys need it, any other time before this you guys weren't big on playing outside."

"But we want it now. Can't you just hire us some bodyguards for the day?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

Sharpay sighed and stomped off. Gabby and I followed behind her. It was day twenty-nine and we were on lock-down mode. Shea and Braiden didn't seem too bothered by being locked up with us. They actually enjoyed it.

"You guys are complaining about not going to school? God, what planet are you guys from?"

"We haven't been in school for almost three months now. I'm not going to lie, I miss getting up early and being grouchy about being at school. This is waay worse than Darbus detention." Zeke said

"That's not a lie." Chad piped in.

I sighed. I was going to go stir-crazy soon and I knew my friends weren't far behind. I got up and walked into the living room where Sarah was grading papers. Most of the time the parents stayed at the house as us kids were, and this time was no exception. Sarah had a living room that she used to grade her papers in. It was her area and I didn't like to set foot in it unless it was important.

"Dammit." Sarah cursed.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm so tired of grading. This being in the house all the time is driving me crazy and I can't grade papers well."

"Do you want me to take over?" I asked sitting down next to Sarah on the couch.

"No sweetpea. I've got this. I would just love to get out of the house for a few hours you know? Maybe hit the mall."

I couldn't help the corners of my mouth turn up. "You know we could do that."

"Taylor. . ." Sarah warned.

"What? You said you needed out. We need out it, all works out. Maybe you can convince the other parents for a field trip?"

"But Taylor. . ."

"Mom, listen. The killer has been striking most during the morning and at night. It's one in the afternoon. We wouldn't be going alone all of you guys would come with us. It would feel good to stretch your legs a bit, wouldn't it?" I baited.

"Well when you put it that way . . . I guess I could talk to the other parents and see what they say."

"Yes!" I cried.

"Don't get too excited. They have to say yes first."

"Say yes to what?" Maria asked.

"If we could have a field trip to the mall, before you say no Maria, we're talking that all the parents would come with. No one would be alone at all. It would be supervised at all times."

"But the killer is still out there Taylor."

"True, but he's only striking early in the morning and at night. It's only one in the afternoon. It would be a short trip, and we would all be back before dark. Please Maria, we're dying. Please."

Maria thought for a minute, and then nodded her head. "Your right, you kids are cooped up and it would be nice to be around people believe it or not. Go tell everyone to get ready; we're leaving in thirty minutes."

Jumping up from my seat I hugged Sarah and Maria and darted up the stairs.

"I did it! We're going on a field trip! Get ready, we're leaving in thirty minutes." I called.

Everyone's ears perked up and they scrambled to get ready. Within twenty everyone was ready to go and we were placed in cars and took off to the mall.

"Ahh, I'm back in my natural habitat." Sharpay sighed.

Our parents were following behind us, but not too much. The girl's mothers, Sarah and Chad's mother, Zeke, Troy and Jason's moms were toting around bags while the guys were very far behind us grumbling about holding all the bags. I hadn't bought much stuff but the stuff I did buy I was carrying it all. Chad wanted to hold it but I told him I was capable of carrying my bags. Chad and I made the agreement that the next purchase I made he got to hold it. It was only because I lost four to five in rock, paper, and scissors.

"Can we please stop off at a GameStop or something? I don't think I'm seeing straight." Jason whined.

"I'm not either son." Jason's dad said

"If you guys are soo tired of hanging out with us, why don't you go to sports authority or something? We girls can handle ourselves." Lily called.

"Yeah, we can handle it."

The guys stopped for a moment and looked at each other. "Are they trying to set us up?" Jack asked.

"I don't know." Andrew responded.

"We're serious. Go do your guy thing. If we need help, we'll scream for you." Sharpay's mom said.

The guys did a double take and walked past us. The guys huddled up and began to whisper in a group. A lot of looking up at us from the huddle resulted and before we knew it they broke apart.

"We'll raise your scream with giving you Chad and Troy and Zeke. At least there's some muscle to keep you guys safe."

Sharpay ran over to Zeke and kissed his cheek and gave him her bags. Troy walked over to Gabby and held his hand out, Gabby shyly took it and Chad walked next to me. The guys and Shea waved goodbye and took off down the hallway screaming and laughing. I looked at Chad and he looked off into the distance. We began to walk and walked to a store for our mom's. The girls and I decided to sit that one out. We posted ourselves outside of the store on a bench. Because the girls took up all the room, I was forced to sit in Chad's lap.

"I'm sorry. I feel like I'm invading your bubble right now. I hope I'm not too heavy for you."

Chad shook his head. "You're fine beautiful. Don't worry your pretty little head about me. Are you having fun?"

I nodded my head. "I'm just happy to be out of the house."

I looked over the glass railing and noticed a group of girls walking on the floor underneath us. They were very snooty and I'm sure they were wearing everything fake. The girls were laughing and joking when they bumped into a man with a cane.

"Watch where you're going old man, God, I'm walking here." One of the girls screamed.

I couldn't help but zoom in on the man. It was the same guy from the diner. He got up and brushed himself off. He hobbled in the other direction, but not after watching which way the girls were walking.

"Taylor? You okay?"

"It's the guy from the diner."

"What?" Chad asked.

I pointed. Chad and everyone else turned around. The guy from the diner hobbled away. Even after the girls turned back to what they were doing, I kept my eye on the guy. Something wasn't right about him. Our mothers came out of the store and we walked back in the opposite direction that we came. While we continued to shop, I kept my eyes trained on the windows and watched to see if the old man passed by. While we were in the Disney Store for the girls, the snooty girls from earlier walked by, keeping my eyes on them I timed how long it took to see if the old man would walk by too. Within five minutes the old man passed by.

"Hey Sarah I see a classmate outside, I'm going to go and say hi really quick." I dashed out the store before Sarah could say anything.

I had my bags in hands and followed behind the old man. Chad rushed up behind me and the other followed too.

"Taylor I don't see anyone."

"Shh!" I hissed. I pointed ahead. "Something doesn't feel right with the guy from the diner. He's following the girls from earlier."

"What girls from earlier?" Troy asked.

"Never mind, I don't want to-"I cursed when I lost them in the crowd. "Fuck, I lost them."

"Ooh Taylor said a bad word." Gabby joked.

I scanned the crowd and saw the top of one of the girls' heads going into a sex shop, of all the places to go into. I sighed and walked towards the shop. A few seconds later the old man walked into the sex shop and I took a deep breath and began to walk to the Kinky Bean.

"Taylor? What the fuck are you doing? That's a sex shop." Sharpay pointed out.

"I know that. What can I say; I wanna get some ideas for a science project." I said and walked into the shop.

Keeping plenty of distance, I kept my eyes trained on the girls. I didn't care too much about the guy until my suspicions were confirmed, I couldn't say anything. One of the girls from the group got sidetracked and began to flirt with the shopkeeper. She was the one that knocked the old man down earlier in the hallway. After a while the guy and girl were whispering things to each other and she began to rub up against him. Before anyone knew it they were sneaking away to the back of the shop. Her friends didn't care, instead cheered her on. While the girls were looking at fuzzy handcuffs, the old man snuck to the back too.

"Gotcha." I whispered and followed behind the old man.

Chad grabbed me. "Taylor? What are you doing? You know that couple is going back there to you know."

I ripped my arm from Chad's. "I know that, the old man is going to doing something to that girl. We have to stop him."

"Taylor, he's an old man he can't hurt anyone. He's got a cane. The least he might do is peep on her. Just let it go." Chad said.

Walking away from Chad, I dropped my bags. "Okay, then prove me wrong. Come in the back with me. If I'm wrong, you can take me out on a date AND carry all of my bags on every shopping trip." I held out my hand.

Chad shook my hand and the whole group followed behind me to the back. When we got to the back, things seemed to have worsened. The shopkeeper was laying on the ground bleeding and his eyes were wide open and not breathing. Gasping, I continued to walk farther into the back of the shop. The girls stayed back but Chad and Troy followed me. Zig zagging back and forth, we reached a door and busted it open. In a small black room, the girl was tied up and her clothes were ripped away from her body. She had a ball gag in her mouth, and the old man was knee deep inside her and had a knife drawing designs on her. He was slicing his way her leg when without thinking I launched myself on him. I managed to knock him off of the girl and I was holding him down. The old man had knocked me off of him and kicked me in the stomach. Being winded for a second, I leaped at him again and knocked him over. I was struggling to keep the guy down when the old man got up and elbowed me in the face. I flew on my back. The old man walked over to me and grabbed my neck and began to choke me, the old man was pulling out another knife from his pants. Just as I was starting to lose my breath, Chad leaped on him. The old man was knocked to the ground, except Chad punched him in the face. The old man knocked out.

I sat up and my hands grasped my neck. Chad was grabbing some rope and began to tie the guy up.

"Troy, call 911." Chad directed.

Troy nodded his head and walked out of the room. I got up and walked towards the girl. The knife was stuck in her thigh. Her eyes were leaking with tears. I grabbed some coats that were on the floor and without moving her too much I covered her up. I took the ball gag out of her mouth.

"Thank you, Thank you so much. I knew I was dead when that old man killed the guy with his cane."

I quieted her. "Shh, try and rest. Save your energy, you've got a bad uh cut on your leg."

The girl tried to look but Chad came over and diverted her attention elsewhere. Within ten minutes the cops and paramedics had swarmed into the small room. Troy talked to the cops and the paramedics took a look at us. I pointed to the girl.

"We're okay; she's the one that needs medical attention the most." I said.

Chad walked over to me and hugged me tightly. I rubbed his back. "You were right. The old man was up to no good. Another person could have been killed but you saved her life. I'm so sorry Taylor."

"Chad, it's okay. What matters is that we got here when we did."

Chad pulled me back and looked at my face. "You have a bruise forming on your face Taylor."

Chad gently touched it, and it flared with heat. I hissed, and Chad took his hand away from my cheek and just hugged me close to him. "That's it, you're done saving citizens. You're getting too messed up. How's your stomach?" Chad said.

I lifted my shirt and a bruise was beginning to form. I shrugged. "Nothing I haven't had before. This is like Childs play, the guy couldn't hit worth shit." I joked.

Chad cut his eyes at me and we were escorted out of the room. When we came out of the Kinky Bean, a crowd had formed. Our mothers were fighting through the crowd.

"Taylor!" Sarah called.

I ran into her arms and Sarah began to cry into my hair. "What the hell happened? I was so worried. You said you would be just outside and I looked outside and you guys weren't there."

"Something wasn't right and I followed behind a guy." I said.

Chad came up next to us. "It's a good thing she did. She saved a girl's life."

After the other mothers gathered us up and my cheek was explained the cops came out, trying to move the crowd. But reporters wouldn't budge.

"Has the mysterious killer made another killing?"

"Not this time. We do have the mysterious killer in custody now. He has admitted it was him that did all the killings. He's off of the streets and won't be harming anymore teenagers." The cop stated.

The reporters buzzed and asked more questions. While the medical team was looking at my bruises after begin coached by Chad to be looked at, the dad's and Shea showed up.

"What's going on? Why is Taylor in the back of the ambulance?" Andrew questioned.

"Taylor caught the teen killer and saved a girl's life." Gabby boasted.

While the dads and most of the group came over and talked to me, Chad and Shea watched from afar.

"You saved her life huh?"

"Kind of, the guy was coming at her with a knife and I knocked him out."

"Saw red yes?"

"A little, I'm just glad I was there. Taylor might have met the same fate as the guy did."

"Aren't you glad you came back to the states?" Shea asked

Chad looked at her sideways. "How did you know that?"

"Taylor told me about you. She said that you were in Italy and she missed you."

"Taylor said that?" Chad questioned.

"Among other things that I cannot share with you, but yes she told me that."

Chad nodded his head and sat down. "Taylor means the world to me, and she was almost taken away from me, right in front of me."

"Aren't you glad that you're back to where heart was left?"

Chad looked at Shea. "What? How do you know . . . about . . .?"

"Because I'm the one that called you eight months ago while you were in Italy. " Shea admitted.

Ta da! So the teen killer has been caught and Shea admits to Chad that she was the one that called him in Italy. Holy. Crap. And you guys thought it was Taylor's dad behind the killings. Guess that was a major plot twist wasn't it? I can't express how much I love you guys and I love all of your reviews. They make me very happy and make me keep putting faster chapters out. Sadly the frequent updating is coming to a close. The semester is starting up again on Monday so school wins this time guys, but summer is just around the corner yes? Happy reading and keep Dirty Truth in your hearts. Till summer.
