Meanwhile...

Izzy was in her bedroom, pacing around it. She had a bulletin board that was on the wall, with photos of everyone she knew personally on. She held a marker in her hand, as she was trying to figure out who could the person doing all of this be. While she was trying to think, she heard a knock on the door.

The usually crazy girl came downstairs with a baseball bat in hand, ready to fight off whoever was outside of her house. She knew that if she was going to try to figure out who this person she, she was going to be attacked by the person as well. She kept her defense in hand as she approached the door. Swinging it open, she raised a bat, screaming extremely loud, scaring the person on the other side.

"Jeez, Izzy! It's just me!" A man's voice said.

Izzy looks ahead, seeing that it was her boyfriend, Owen. Her boyfriend is an overweight fellow with blonde messy hair. He wore a white t-shirt with a green maple leave on the front of it. He even wore green shorts. He and Izzy dated ever since the start of their college years, and they have been together for about, at least, four years now. Izzy doesn't exactly know how long they've been together. She doesn't even know that she even went to college.

"Oh, Owen. It's you!" Izzy said, lowering her bat. "What brings you here tonight? E-Scope is busy, trying to figure out something." Owen walks in, carrying tons of food in his hands.

"Well, it turns out there's this awesome restaurant that Gwen and Trent walked into. I walked out, and then that Jo girl ran away for some reason." Owen explains to her. "I don't know why she ran off, but she looked really afraid. I don't know why." Izzy shrugged her shoulders, before Owen spoke again. "So what are you trying to figure out?"

"Oh, something about who that guy chasing Jo is."

"Wait, there was a guy chasing Jo?"

"I don't know. I think so, since you brought that up to me." The two walked into the living room, continuing this talk. "I'm trying to find out who this person is, and why he killed Scott and Lightning." Owen's eyes widened when he heard about the two people who died.

"Oh my God! Scott and Lightning are dead?!"

"Yeah. But hey, at least you're not dead. Right?" Owen frowns, but doesn't appear angry, despite that attempt of optimism towards the situation appeared to be in poor taste. Izzy then frowns. "Oh...sorry, too soon?" Owen slowly frowns. "Right. Anyways...do you know anyone who appears out of the ordinary? Like, somebody who could be a...suspicious person?"

"Well..." Owen then pulls out a hamburger, eating it while he thinks about who seems out of the normal to him. "...If you ask me...the only person who I know nothing about is that one blonde girl?" Izzy raises an eyebrow, as Owen continued talking. "This girl...she has a surfboard with her, but we're near a lake, are there even waves in there for her to surf, unlike the ocean? I don't get that."

"Go on..."

"I also heard that that girl is Geoff's girlfriend."

"Oh, well...then I know where I could find her." Izzy then looks out the window. "I think I should tell Noah and Cody this."

Owen's eyes widened hearing that first name being said. For the majority of his time in college, Noah and him have had multiple interactions. The two actually knew each other ever since daycare, but then Noah ended up becoming friends with Cody instead. Probably because Cody had a PlayStation 4 at his house, and the two play video games together a lot, while Owen is off with Izzy.

"Noah?! It's been awhile since I heard about him!" Owen said. But then he frowns again, a little bit confused. "Wait, why is he trying to help out on a mystery like this? Doesn't he know that this is dangerous?"

"Noah wanted to try to help out with Detective McLean after college." Izzy said. "That's what I heard from Gwen when she was on the phone with him. But hey, considering that I am helping them out, there being one more help isn't going to be that bad. Me, Noah, Gwen, Cody, and you are going to try to find out about this guy."

"Okay!" Owen then looks at his girlfriend, a little confused. "So...uh...what now? I'm here and I don't know what to do."

"Why not we watch TV? I'll save trying to find out about this guy later, I want to watch some Knight Rider on our date." Izzy said, picking up the remote control off of the coffee table. "Besides, looking at cars talk always make me calm down."

"Same here." Izzy turns the TV on, and the two started to watch some TV.


Speaking of Noah and Cody...

The two were at the house of the former, as Noah was looking out his own window, and Cody was sitting on his best friend's bed. Kitty was looking at her phone, as Emma was sitting at the desk, holding up her phone, wondering who could be suspicious around town. As the four of them were sitting around Noah's bedroom, the sound of the phone ringing was heard.

Noah knew he left his phone in his bathroom by accident, so he had to go receive it to see who it was. But when Noah was about to leave his bedroom, Cody held his best friend on the shoulder, shaking his head. Noah looks behind himself, looking at the geeky boy behind him.

"What?" The sarcastic boy asked.

"Dude, I think it's best not to go to the phone." Cody said, shaking his head. "I seen so many horror movies enough to know, that going to the phone is a very bad idea. Even worse, being away from the group is probably the worst thing you can do." The sarcastic boy rolled his eyes, before walking out of his bedroom.

"Cody, you're overreacting. The bathroom is literately across the hallway." Cody looks behind his best friend, seeing that the room across to the other wall was the bathroom. "No big deal. Now stay right here, I got to see if that's either Izzy, or Gwen, or...who knows who."

"Fine. You know where the rest of us will be."

Noah approaches his bathroom sink, seeing his phone laying next to the faucet. He looks at who was calling him, only to see that it was indeed, Izzy. He wondered what she was calling him for, but assumed that she had a couple ideas on who the person who did all of this was. Picking up the phone, Noah places the phone next to his ear, curious with what Izzy was going to tell him.

"Hello!" Izzy shouts on the phone.

"What's going on, Izzy? If you haven't realized, I'm kinda busy with a couple things." Noah said, looking off to his bedroom. "Anyways...what do you want? Do you have any ideas on who it could be doing all of this and why?"

"Oh, no! I'm not calling for that, I don't have any clue who this person could be. I just have some news that I have to tell you." The boy raises an eyebrow, a bit confused by what she was going to tell him, but then Izzy continued to speak. "Anyways, you know your friend from daycare? You know, Owen? My boyfriend, the one who loves food?"

"Uh..."

Noah got interrupted by the insane girl after he attempted to speak. "He's helping us out with trying to find out who this person is!"

"SAY WHAT NOW?!"

"He came to visit me tonight, and he and I talked, and then we watched that one show with the talking car, and then we..." Izzy stops herself, before Noah slams himself on the forehead. "Come on, Noah! I heard that face-palm on the other end of this phone! I can hear you all the way at my house!" The boy sighed, before speaking again.

"Izzy, as much as I miss Owen back from daycare and all that stuff, but if you haven't noticed, the more people you bring along to help me and my friends out on this, the more people you're endangering?"

"Oh please! You're talking to me! I know how to fight."

"That's both encouraging to hear, as well as concerning..." Noah said, in his usual sarcastic tone of voice. He then looks over to Cody who was looking out of the window, making sure that nobody was approaching the house. "Look, if you see anything strange happening outside your house, make sure you warn me, Cody, Emma, Kitty, or Gwen. We're all making sure that nobody else is in danger."

"Oh...boy..."

"Izzy, what are you saying?"

"...Well...you know..."

"Damn it, Izzy! Speak up! What do you know?! Are you even trying to say?"

"Look, I overheard from hiding in a tree that Duncan, Alejandro, Jo, and...I think Courtney are heading out to that one hangar that's out in the forest. I don't know about you, but I believe that you guys should be concerned about that." Noah's eyes widened hearing that.

"Figures..." Noah mutters to himself, before glaring to the ground. "...Meet me at the forest so that we can deal with Duncan and his friends. No way in hell is he going to leave this town, knowing that the forest is probably more dangerous than walking around the town...now, I mean." Noah then looks at his bedroom across the way again, before shaking his head. "Look, maybe if there's a bigger crowd, maybe whoever that person is will be a little more intimidated by us. Bigger the group, worse for the person trying to harm us."

"I don't think that's how it works!" Cody shouts from the bedroom.

"Stay out of this, Cody!" Noah shouts to his best friend, before looking at himself in the mirror. He appeared to be pretty tired, by the looks of himself. The man felt like he was seriously losing it, since recent. He places a hand on his forehead, before ending his call with Izzy. "Look, I think I'm too tired to continue onward with this bullshit, alright? I think I'll talk to you tomorrow in the morning. For now, don't go telling Detective McLean about what Duncan is doing. Will you do that please?"

"Hey, don't worry, I won't tell him anything about this."

"Seriously, Izzy. We don't need a mass panic because a bunch of teens, who are most likely their sons or daughters, probably walking out into the forest, knowing that they, us included, could get lost in there. Anyways, I got to go continue my date with Owen. E-Scope is out."

"Yeah, E-Scope, whatever. Bye."

Noah hangs out the phone, before sighing in annoyance at Duncan. He knew that the punk often left his schools in the past, left juvie without the others knowing, even skipped one of his days of college just for a damn carnival, that was the size of a parking lot. Truthfully, Noah never really saw any sort of good in Duncan. Nothing but a vile man with a green mohawk on his head. Nothing but trouble he says to himself, every single moment he sees the guy.

So knowing what the bullies are going to end up doing tomorrow, Noah felt like it was in his right to go and tell the other three about what they were doing. Noah enters his bedroom, as Cody, Emma, and Kitty looked at him entering the room.

"Well...good news, that was Izzy. Bad news, however...Duncan, Jo, and Alejandro are planning on escaping this town by that hangar that's out in the forest." Noah tells them. The three looked surprised hearing that being said. "Oh, also, Owen is now getting involved in all of this too."

"Duncan is planning that?! Seriously?! Leaving town into that forest full of death!?" Cody asked. "If he hasn't noticed, it's rare that anyone finds our town, and many people got lost after leaving the road! If he doesn't know as well, that hangar isn't connected to the road!"

"I bet he knows that. That's why we are going to talk some sense into him."

"WHAT?! Hell no, man!"

"What?"

"You can get me involved in finding clues about who this person is, and why he is doing all of this. I can go and make sure that this guy doesn't end up killing anymore of my friends. But tell me to go out there into that forest, dude, you know damn well I'm just going to say no."

"Cody, we can't do this without you." Kitty raises a hand.

"I...think I rather not go out there as well. That forest scares me." Kitty said. Emma looks at Noah, before standing up from the desk.

"Well...since I want this guy to be punished as much as Noah does, I believe it's in my right to go with him out there to stop Duncan and his friends from leaving." Emma said. "Kitty, I know you're scared, but at least come along with me since you have a good memory of what paths we took. Besides, remember when we were kids and we played 'Capture the Flag' in that one maze?" Kitty nods. "Well, I think you should come along anyway." Kitty looks down, defeated by her sister's words.

"Damn it. Fine, I'll come with you."

"Thank you."

"Fine..." Cody said, walking over to the door. "...That forest is extremely dangerous remember. If you're going out there just to get lost and die, don't say I never warned you guys." The boy then points to his watch. "I must go home now. My parents are probably wondering where I am right now anyway. Bye."

"Yeah, bye to you too." Noah said.

"We'll head home too. It seems like tonight, as well as the many days before, has been stressful for all of us." Kitty said.

"Yeah...I think I need to go get some sleep." Noah looks over to Emma, nodding his head at her. "I'll...see you tomorrow, Emma."

"See you tomorrow too, Noah. You get some rest now, okay?" Emma told him.

"Okay."
