TRIS POV

"ZEKE! GET OVER HERE NOW! HURRY!" I yell as I fix my uniform and run upstairs to Zeke's room.

I hear footsteps and then Zeke's door swings open.

"What?" He asks sleepily.

I stop in my tracks. "Oh, sorry, you were taking a nap?"

"Yeah." He mumbles while rubbing his face. "Okay, what was it you were saying?"

I feel my eyes widen and I shove him in his room.

"PUT ON YOUR UNIFORM I KNOW THE MURDERER AND WE NEED TO GET EVIDENCE NOW!" I yell while shoving his uniform at him.

"Wait, WHAT?!" He chokes out loudly but I ignore him and run downstairs to my car again.

I open the door to my car that's standing at the driveway on emergency lights and then Zeke comes running out of the house with his bag.

The moment he gets in my car we're accelerating toward Kristina's house.

Zeke straightens his uniform and looks at me. "Tell me." He orders.

I stop at the red light. "Long story short, I was returning my Science Book, Mr Hughes told me to sit since there was 10 minutes till the next bell, I sat in the back where coincidently Four was, and then he tells me there's a new girl and points to- get this- EVA! And it's wasn't even that, it was what she was writing on her notebook!" I say.

The red light turns green and I continue driving.

"Well? What'd it say?" Zeke asks uneasily.

"It said, I. Love. Connor." I enunciate slowly.

I wait a moment for Zeke to sink these 3 important words into his brain.

"Oh my God! Why didn't you just grab her right-"

I cut him off. "Four grabbed me before I could strangle her. He said that we'd need evidence before just accusing her because she could easily lie and we'd get in trouble, but if we had evidence, we'd easily get her in jail or whatever."

Zeke nods and we miraculously make it to Kristina's house without being pulled over by the cops.

We both jump out of the car, duck under the caution tape, and run straight into the house.

But then we're slowly walking to Kristina's room, because yeah, sure, we know what we're looking for, but that doesn't sugar coat the fact that this house is hella creepy.

I take a deep breath when we make it to Kristina's room, then I walk in with Zeke slowly following behind me.

I watch as Zeke slowly takes in the mess that's spread around the room, and then his eyes widen.

"Holy Shit." He mumbles while rubbing his eyes.

"What?" I ask, but Zeke walks forward and kicks a bunch of pillows out of his way, then he opens the window.

Which was unlocked.

"Look." Zeke says.

I walk forward and see that the screen in the window isn't the only thing unlocked, so is the screen.

"No way." I whisper in disbelief.

Zeke shakes his head. "Entered from the window." He states.

I look around and then shake my head. "Zeke, Can you go and get something that Eva touched? I'll go in the basement and see if there's anything else. Maybe if I find something, we can see if it matches Eva's DNA."

Zeke looks at me unsure, as if not wanting to leave me, but then gives up and begins walking down.

"If we're gonna do this, keep my number dialed so if something happens you can just immediately call. Let's just hope I pick up right away."

I look at Zeke and nod.

Then he walks down, and the moment I hear the door slam shut, I walk downstairs and into the basement.

I take a deep breath and walk into the laundry room where Kristina's body is.

I hold my nose to block the stench.

Gosh, it's annoying how we have to keep the dead body until after the case is finished.

I walk over to to Kristina's body and turn on the light.

I suck in a sharp breath as I study the slashes across her body.

Yup, still not used to those.

I inch closer, pull a pocket knife from my pocket, and cut off the piece of rope that's bound around her hands and watch her arms fall free.

I know for sure that'd be one thing the killer's DNA would be on.

How else would they tie her hands?

I pocket the rope and then crouch next to Kristina's now dangling arms.

"Are you fucking serious?" I gasp under my breath.

Under Kristina's finger nails were dry blood.

And brown hair.

"Kristina fought back." I whisper to myself.

I stand up from my crouched position and hold Kristina's hands.

The fingers that whoever - maybe Eva - cut off, we're the longest nails.

I can tell because on the opposite hand that still has all 5 fingers has the most blood and hair.

I close my eyes and force Eva's image into my head.

"Yep, that's gotta be Eva's hair." I announce to no one in particular.

I wipe my gloves on a nearby piece of cloth and then pick off the pieces of hair from Kristina's fingernails into a bag.

"Okay." I sigh, "I think I'm done now."

I pack the evidence safely in my bag and suddenly freeze.

*clank* *clank*

Someone is here.

"Oh my God." I hiss under my breath.

I shakily reach for my phone in my pocket and call Zeke.

It's ringing as I bring it to my ear.

Please leave a message after th-

I end the call and try again.

I tiptoe away from the door and listen again.

Please leave a-

"Shit." I whisper frustratingly.

*creak*

*creak*

I start moving closer to Kristina's body.

They're coming downstairs.

Where I am.

I shift my weight to look out the half closed door where I'm standing and notice a dark figure.

I stop breathing and turn to face Kristina's body and I pull my hood up.

Who ever is there won't be able to see me because I'm wearing all black.

I quietly search my contacts and hover my finger over the call button.

Four.

I slowly tap the call button and watch as it quietly rings in my hand.

"Yeah Tris?"

I hear the foot steps move toward the opposite side of the basement where I am.

A moment of relief flushes over me.

"Tris? Are you okay? What's up?"

I bring the phone close to my mouth.

Too close.

"There's someone here." I whisper quietly.

"Wait, what? I can't hear- Tris, where are you?" He suddenly asks worriedly.

"I'm in Kristina's house, I'm in the basement, but someone other than Zeke is here." I whisper under my breath.

The footsteps suddenly start moving toward me.

No way, they couldn't have heard me, they couldn't have.

"Oh shit, oh shit, Four, they're coming closer. Shit, they're coming closer." I start whispering with panic.

"Tris, calm down-"

The door to where I'm hiding starts to open slowly and I manage to hit end and slip my phone into my back pocket before a metal bar slams against the backside of my head.

And every thing fades into black before I can feel any pain.

A/ N - OMG guys I'm so embarrassed that I couldn't even update, like wtf is wrong with me?!

I got so many reviews from all kinds of new people, and I couldn't even UPDATE?! LIKE WTH!

Since I have a cliff hanger, I think I'll be able to update more quickly because I'll know exactly where to start from.

And thank you guyz so much for Favoriting, Following, and EVEN REVIEWING for this story!

It really surprises me when you guys think this story is either really good or the best because I'm pretty sure by reading the first 10 chapters or so you've banged your head against a wall because of all the typos and dumb writing, like seriously, when you guys encourage me, I want to squeeze all of you into a hug and never let go.

- So until then, Bye Lovelies!
