After everything was ready, Marlena returned to her hometown. Lawrence gave her a check to express his grattitude and the psychiatrist wished them luck.
The next day, he and Logan went to the station, so Gabriel could take Logan's statement.
"Don't I need a lawyer for this?" asked Logan.
"I don't think so" replied Lawrence. "But I can be there for moral support if you want".
Logan sighed. "Yeah, I'd like that".
It was a bit noisy when they got to the station. Gabriel was talking with Brooke and approached when he saw them.
"Gabriel" greeted Lawrence. "We're ready".
Gabriel nodded and shook their hands. "How are you doing, Logan?".
"I'm good" said Logan. "I'm actually much better than that day. I'm more than willing to do this".
"Very well" he replied. "Let's go to the interrogation room".
"Oh, wait, Gabriel" said Lawrence. "I'd like to go in too. You know" he lowered his voice. "Just in case".
Gabriel looked at him and then at Logan. He nodded in understanding. "Ok, then. Come with us".
GABRIEL'S OFFICE
After talking with Gabriel, Brooke entered the office, where Carlos and Kendall were examining the belt she had found at the alley. Both boys were using white gloves, magnifying glasses and special lanterns, to see if they could find any fingerprints.
"Oh, man" said Carlos with a grin. "I don't know what the hell I'm doing yet I feel like such a professional".
Kendall chuckled. "Just follow Gabriel's instructions. I mean, finding some fingerprints can't be that hard".
"How come this can't be done by a real forensic?" he asked. "Or in a lab?"
"That would be" intervened Brooke. "Because ever since the Hunter snuck into the morgue in broad daylight, Gabriel doesn't trust them. I know it's irrational, but this town is really close to go under siege and you know how he is".
"Aw" said Carlos, looking at Kendall. "It's so nice to know Gabriel trust us with such an important task over the real professionals who can actually do the job".
Kendall laughed. "Shut up and keep looking".
"Or what? You're going to punish me with this?" he teased.
Brooke sighed as she saw how the boys started playing and laughing.
"How did I end up with these two?" she thought.
KNIGHT'S PUB
When Camille walked into the pub that afternoon, her eyes widened at the sight of a scene she was not prepared to. Katie was wearing an apron and serving clients like other waiters.
She went to the counter and waited, seeing how the girl was coming in and out of the kitchen with plates in her hands. She was actually pretty good.
After a few minutes, Katie finally met her at the counter. She looked tired.
"What's with this miracle?" Camille teased, amused. "You working? What did you do?"
"Nothing" said Katie. "Kendall's busy with the case, so someone had to be in charge. And Kendall decided I was his best choice. That, or I was his only choice".
"No, you are his best choice" she replied. "You're his sister, and you've proven yourself mature enough to run this place in many ocassions".
Katie sighed. "Well, as long as we don't get robbed or something, I guess I'll be just fine".
"You will" said Camille. "You'll do great! Hey, when Johann larks around, I'll ground him and send him here to help you".
Katie laughed. "That's going to be so amusing!"
"What's going to be so amusing?" asked a voice.
Camille turned around, while Katie looked up.
"Kelly!"
Kelly joined them with a smile on her face. "Hello, girls".
"What do I get you?"
"Coffee. Black, please".
"Course" said Katie, and disappeared in the kitchen.
Kelly turned to Camille. "So, what's this I'm hearing about punishing a baby with work?"
Camille laughed. "Oh, nothing. Just joking about life".
Kelly chuckled. "Well, it's good to see you in such a good mood".
"I'm back" announced Katie. She gave Kelly the coffee.
"So, any news on the case?" asked Camille.
"Well" replied Kelly. "Logan managed to remember what happened that night. I believe he's right now at the station to give his statement".
"Wow, that's great!" said Camille.
"It is" agreed Katie as she stood up. "And whatever he's got to say is going to be great help, I just know... AAAAHHHH!"
Both Camille and Kelly turned around right after Katie screamed. She looked horrified, at the sight of none other than Jett standing there, with a big smirk on his face.
POLICE STATION
"Ok, knock it off!" exckaimed Brooke.
Carlos and Kendall stopped immediatly.
"Now, get back to work, Gabriel needs that as soon as possible" she continued.
After she went to her computer, Carlos glanced at Kendall. "Such a mood killer" he mumbled.
They both chuckled.
"I heard you" said Brooke, rolling her eyes.
"What's the point on looking on this?" complained Kendall as Brooke approached them. "We all know the Hunter uses gloves, how are we supposed to find any fingerprints. It's absurd!"
"Fingerprints stopped being the only resource of identification long ago" said Brooke. "We got blood, sweat, skin, hair, and many more samples we can find".
"There's a mark here" said Carlos. "I'm not sure, but it could be a tiny blood mark"
Brooke took a look at it. "Yes, it certainly looks like it. We need to take it to the lab right away".
"So much for not trusting the lab guys" thought Carlos.
The door opened.
"Oh, hi, Dak!" greeted Kendall.
"Hey" said Dak. "How is it going?"
"We might have found something" said Carlos. "We'll take it to the lab to see what it is".
"So, Dak" said Brooke. "What brings you by?"
Dak sighed. He still didn't like the woman. "I'm here to pick up Logan".
INTERROGATION ROOM
Logan was sitting in a table in front of Gabriel, who had a recorder and a notepad with him. Lawrence was standing in a corner.
"We had been at the Knight Pub that night" was saying Logan. "My friend, Dak Zevon, had gotten out of the hospital and we were having a little party. My partner, Carlos Garcia, downloaded a tracker app on my phone".
"Did he tell you why?" asked Gabriel.
"He said you, Detective Donovan, had told him to do it for my safety, since Stetson was out in the streets and would try to get to me".
Gabriel nodded. "Ok, so you got out. What happened then?"
"I was walking down the street, and I was alone. And then, my phone rang. It was him".
"What did you do?"
Logan sighed. "I answered. I managed to activate the app, so you would trace it, and you did".
Gabriek wrote down a few notes. "What did Stetson want?"
"He wanted me to run away with him" he replied. "I said no, of course. I tried to make some time so the call could be traced. And then, he told me where he was. So, after I hung up, I ran to his location as fast as I could. But when I got there, it was already late".
"What happened?"
Logan took a deep breath, knowing the hardest part was coming.
Gabriel paused the recorder. He leaned down, facing Logan. "You know, if you're not ready, we can postpone this to another day".
"There's no rush, son" said Lawrence.
"No, no" said Logan, shaking his head. "I want to do this. I'm ready".
"Very well" said Gabriel, and turned on the recorder again.
Logan breathed in and out again and continued. "I saw the serial killer strangling him with what now I know was a black leather belt. It all happened fast, and Jett was dead in just a few seconds. It was horrible".
"Did anything else happen?"
"Yes, it did" said Logan. "The Hunter leaned down to make sure Jett was dead. But when he looked up, he saw me".
He looked at Lawrence, who nodded at him encouragingly, and turned to Gabriel. "The Hunter approached me until we were face to face. It was the most terryfying experience I've ever had.A storm had already begun. And then, lightning struck. And I saw his eyes. I really thought he would kill me, but he ran away. That was because you and my father came".
"How were his eyes?" asked Gabriel.
"They were blue and wide open. I saw death itself in them".
Gabriel turned off the recorder. "Thank you so much, Logan. You've been great help".
"We've got something else, Gabriel" said Lawrence. He gave him an envelope.
Gabriel opened it and took out the drawing. "Oh, yes. This will do".
KNIGHT'S PUB
Kelly and Camille looked at the spot Katie was looking at, and turned to her.
"Katie?" said Camille. "What is it?"
Katie blinked a few times. "D-Don't you see him?"
"Who?" asked Kelly.
"Jett" whispered Katie.
Both women shared worried glances and looked again.
"Katie" said Camille. "That's not Jett".
It wasn't. They boy Katie had seen had a slight resemblance to Jett, but it wasn't him. He wasn't even looking at her in the first place.
"Katie? Are you feeling alright?" asked Kelly, worried.
Katie looked disturbed and shocked. "But... But I... I saw..."
Kelly and Camille's eyes widened as they saw Katie pass out. Fortunately, Camille was fast enough to catch her before she hit the ground.
"We need to get her to the hospital" said Kelly.
Camille tried to carry Katie, but Kelly stopped her. "No! You're pregnant. I will carry her".
With a surprising strenght, Kelly lifted Katie up and they went to her car.
POLICE STATION
"Logan?" said Kendall. "He's here?"
"Yeah, he was going to give Gabriel his statement today" said Carlos.
"About time" his friend replied. "I'm so glad. Things might finally turn for the better".
"And it will" said Gabriel, who was just entering the office with Logan and Lawrence. Carlos went to hug Logan.
"Hey" said Logan, as they separated. "What's goint on here?"
"I'm taking you home" said Dak.
Logan frowned. "Really?"
"Yeah" he replied. "Your dad has a meeting with Dr Wainwright until late and Carlos will be busy here, so I offered".
"I'll be done here soon anyway" said Carlos, shrugging. "But it's imperative that you're safe in your house until the killer is caught".
"That's why" said Gabriel, patting both Dak and Logan's shoulders and leading them to the door. "You're out of here. Now, come on".
Logan glanced at everyone, but left with Dak.
"So" said Gabriel, after closing the door. "Any news?"
"There seems to be some blood on the belt, but we need to be sure" said Brooke. "I'll take it to Kelly for an analysis".
Kendall's phone rang. He answered. "Hello? Hey, Kelly? What? When? Ok, I'm on my way".
"Something wrong?" asked Lawrence.
"Kelly's taking Katie to the hospital" he said, as he grabbed his things. "I don't know what exactly happened, but I need to be there, now".
"I'll take you" said Lawrence. He and Kendall rushed out.
Brooke, with the belt still in her hands, sighed. "I guess this will have to wait".
LOGAN'S HOUSE
By the time Logan arrived home with Dak, night had fallen. Logan turned on the lights, while Dak turned on the TV.
"Mind if I hang out here?" he had asked.
"Not at all" Logan had replied. "You're always welcome".
"So" said Dak, sitting on the couch. "How did it go with Gabriel?"
Logan nodded. "Great, actually. I told him everything I knew, and also gave him that drawing".
Dak whistled. "That was some drawing. And you always said you couldn't draw!"
Logan rolled his eyes. "I was hypnotized, Dak. I don't think I'll be able to draw like that ever again".
"Right, of course" agreed Dak.
They kept watching TV until suddenly everything went dark. The neighborhood had had a blackout.
"Oh, dammit" mumbled Logan.
"I'll go get candles" said Dak, heading to the kitchen. "You see if there's any board game we can play".
Logan sighed. As he blindly looked for the stairs, he heard a click.
GABRIEL'S CAR
Carlos almost made a scene after Brooke's comment, believing she gave more importance to the belt than Katie's well-being, so Gabriel sent him to the hospital to get updates, while he and Brooke argued about it.
After a few minutes, they decided to leave it for the next day, so now Gabriel was in his car, heading to the hospital.
Suddenly, his beeper rang. He stopped the car, livid, and slowly checked it.
"I am not done".
"Oh, no" thought Gabriel, knowing instantly who had texted him. Hesitating, he dared to answer. "Who?"
Another message came almost immediatly. "The one who saved your life"
Santy quickly helped Logan remove the beam, and then Logan raised Gabriel's arm and helped him get up. He put Gabriel"s arm around his shoulder and started walking to the exit...
Gabriel's eyes widened. "No".
He quickly turned to the other direction, and rushed to the Mitchell house.
LOGAN'S HOUSE
Logan froze. He had heard something. And he saw it.
There was someone in front of him, but it was so dark he couldn't tell who it was.
"D-Dak?" he guessed.
The figure didn't answer. He walked backwards as the figure walked to him. And there he knew.
"You came back for me, didn't you?"
The Hunter didn't answer to that either. Logan never saw a thing, but he felt the pain, and heard a bang before his body hit the ground and everything went black.
On the next THE HUNTER:
Gabriel gets to the scene!
Carlos rips into Dak.
Lawrence freaks out.
Kendall and Camille fill Katie in.
