Inside Alejandro's house...
Shawn pulls out a flashlight out of his vest, as he shined the light around the interior of Alejandro's house. Looking around the living room, wondering if there's any sign of the killer right there in this part of the house. There was no sign of anyone moving around, except for themselves, obviously. However, by the looks of the lamps, it seems like they were the items that were broken around the floors.
Gwen and Geoff stepped into the house, looking around the living room as well. They looked at some of the broken lamps that were on the ground. Somebody was definitely here moments ago.
"It's a bad idea to go different ways, knowing this guy could be anywhere in this household." Shawn said. "We should stay together, just in case this guy is fast on their feet." Geoff and Gwen nodded their heads in agreement. Shawn led the two of them into the kitchen from nearby.
"Alejandro! Are you home?!" Geoff shouts.
"Dude, are you crazy?! If this guy knows we're here, they'd run out of here!"
"Sorry, didn't know they'd be butthurt that we're here. Also, Alejandro might actually be alone in this house instead of this guy being around. Don't you think?" Gwen looks over to Geoff.
"Alejandro would be in his house by himself, leaving his house to look like something out of a haunted house?" Gwen asked, raising an eyebrow at the party boy. Geoff shrugged his shoulders.
"It was...just a suggestion..." Geoff said, before looking forward. "Should we just go into the kitchen to see if Alejandro is there?"
"Already checked." Shawn shouts, before walking back into the living room. "Alejandro isn't in this room at all. So that leaves upstairs the last place we've haven't investigated yet."
"Then let's look up there than."
The three walked upstairs. There were about five doors that were in the upstairs hallway. One of which was...only a closet. It was the first room that the three of them almost ended up entering. So the closet was out of the way.
The three entered the other four rooms, wondering what's in each one. Two of them didn't really have anything that made them stand out, as they looked like nothing more but storage rooms for stuff Alejandro doesn't really need. One was Alejandro's bedroom. He wasn't in there, and the last one was just a bathroom.
Confused, the three wondered where Alejandro was even at inside his own house. But that was when Shawn found something at the end of the hallway. It was another note.
'If you're wondering where Al is, he's out in the backyard. You might want to go check him out to see if he's okay or not, Gwen.' The note said.
Shawn looks over to Gwen. "You didn't say anything about this guy knowing you. What the hell is up with that?" Shawn asked the goth girl.
"I'm trying to figure that part out." Gwen said to Shawn. "I don't know how this guy even knows me, but...I'm trying to circle my head around, how this is even possible." Gwen rubs the sides of her forehead, before looking at Shawn again. "I'm being honest when I say that I am not in cahoots with whoever the hell is doing this, but if they are trying to say that I'm some sort of accomplice or what not, then they have another thing coming." Geoff steps forward.
"I think Gwen is telling the truth on this one." Geoff said. "Gwen might not have been to any of my parties because...well, she thinks my parties are nuts...but something that involves having Duncan and his friends being killed seems unlikely."
"Thanks Geoff." Gwen said.
"Your welcome. Now let's see where Al is."
The three walked downstairs, and into the backyard. There wasn't much in the backyard, aside from just a tree and a shed. Shawn walked over to the shed, keeping his crossbow in the ready as he approached the small wooden house that carried all of Alejandro's tool. The man opens the door, only to scream in horror at the sight of what he was seeing inside the building.
"Oh God..." Shawn said, covering his own mouth. "I can't believe it...I really can't believe it..."
"Shawn, what do you see?!" Geoff shouts, running up to the man.
The other two ran up to the shed, looking inside to see what Shawn was seeing. Inside the shed, there the three of them saw, Alejandro had the same type of pole through his chest. His death was like Lightning's death, but it looked it he was attacked beforehand, due to there being bruises on his face and arms. The three of them stood there in complete shock, before Gwen noticed another note, stuck through the pole as well. She took it out, reading it to herself.
'Too late to save Al. Duncan is all I have left.' The note said.
Outside the shed, Gwen heard the sound of Trent screaming out from in front of the house. The three were scared, hearing him scream from the front yard, that they went to see what had happened to him.
However, when they arrived, the three saw right there, that there was the psycho doing all of this. The person turns around, noticing that Gwen, Geoff, and Shawn were standing right there, staring at them with utter shock. All the while, the psycho has already beaten Trent to the ground, leaving him in a bruised, with many cuts and bruises all over him. Trent was breathing heavily, as Gwen tearfully pulled up here crossbow in an attempt at avenging her boyfriend.
The psycho moves out of the way in time, then ran off to go onto the sidewalk. Shawn attempted to send arrows at the figure, while Gwen and Geoff went to Trent's aid.
"Oh crap, oh crap...Trent, anyone but you." Gwen said, tears strolling down her face, shocked to see her boyfriend had been attacked, and on the verge of death.
"G-Gwen..." Trent said, coughing in pain. "I-I tried to fight him off...but he was too strong for me..." Trent held onto his own stomach, before looking at his girlfriend with tears in his eyes. "...I failed to save you..."
"Trent...you didn't..." Gwen wipes tears for her eyes, as she kept herself together. "You can still make it though..."
"Gwen, you got to leave me behind...it's too late for me..."
"What?! To hell are we abandoning you out here, dude!" Geoff shouts. "I'm calling an ambulance, right now!"
"No, Geoff...don't..." Trent said, trying to reach for the partier. "Besides...I'll just...be the reason Gwen is behind bars, with the cops not wanting her...to play hero out here..." Trent held Gwen by her hand, looking at her in her eyes. "P-Please just...do this for m-me, Gwen. I l-love you..."
Wiping another tear from her eye, Gwen stood up from the ground. Trent closes his eyes. "I love you too, Trent..." Gwen said through tears.
Seeing that Trent was gone, Gwen broke into tears, turning to Geoff, who hugged her to try to make her feel better. Geoff looks over to the sidewalk, seeing that Trent had just died. He covers his mouth, before shaking his head.
"Shit..." Shawn said to himself, before looking over to Geoff.
"I know man, I know..." Geoff said, silently.
Meanwhile...
"Trent's dead?! Tell me this is a joke!" Noah shouts into the walkie-talkie.
Due to Gwen still crying, Geoff had to be the one to break the news to the other four who were helping them. Like the three, Noah, Cody, Emma, and Kitty were horrified from hearing that Trent died while trying to protect Gwen, Shawn, and Geoff. They were also pretty shocked that Alejandro was killed as well.
"I wish I was joking, dudes...but I'm not." Geoff said. "Me and my friends watched him get killed by our very eyes. Gwen is a complete mess now that she has to witness that. So she asked me to tell you guys this." Noah glares down to the ground, shaking his head. "Damn it...of course one of us ended up getting attacked while we try to get this psycho..." Cody looks down to the ground, shaking his head.
"Poor Gwen and Trent..." Cody said in a whisper.
Noah looks over to his girlfriend, feeling worried that she might end up in danger if this continues. He really didn't want her to end up like Trent. He closes his eyes, before speaking into the walkie-talkie once again.
"Look, where are you guys now? We're going to try to meet you guys back at Gwen's house." Noah said. "With everything going to shit tonight, I think it's only best we call it a night." A couple moments of silence went by, and then Geoff spoke again.
"I talked with Gwen. She said that she feels like we should head back to her house. Because now that her boyfriend is dead, she feels like she needs to be alone right now..." Geoff said.
"Oh, I get it." Noah nods his head. "Well, I'll probably still look out for this figure for Gwen."
"What?! You're doing this by yourself?!" Emma asked, worried that Noah is really doing this. "Noah, you could die if you're by yourself..."
"Emma, listen to me sweetie, alright?" Noah places a hand on his girlfriend's shoulder. "I caused Scott's death, and the last thing I need is for you, or your sister, or my own best friend to suffer the same death as Trent did." Noah looks behind himself, seeing that they were right near his house. "Look, sleep at my house tonight. All three of you, please. I'll handle this guy for Gwen, and the others. Considering that Trent just died, I don't want your guys suffering the same fate. Keep the doors locked, and if you see me running up to the front porch. Let me in." Cody nods his head.
"Are you sure you want to do this alone, dude? Because if this is seriously happened to Gwen, I want to do this for her too." Cody said. "No way in hell am I letting my former crush get destroyed like this, and those pricks gets away with what they did." Noah looks down, about to speak, only for Cody to speak up again. "Hold whatever you're about to say to yourself. Because I want to come help you out on this one. I'm doing this for Gwen, I'm doing this to be a better friend for her." Noah sighed, feeling like he'd be unable to argue with Cody on that one.
"Alright. We got each others backs on this one?"
"Totally. Until the end."
Cody and Noah bumped fists on that being agreed on. Noah looks at Emma, holding her hand. "I'm sorry I'm not bringing you along with me and Cody. I just want you and Kitty to be safe, and knowing what happened to Trent...it has me all concerned."
Emma looks down at her hand, holding Noah's hand, and then walked up to him, kissing him on the lips. The kiss lasted for about five seconds, before Emma stops, backing up from her boyfriend. The two slowly let go of each others hand, before looking at each other in their eyes.
"Be careful out there, sweetie." Emma said, softly.
"I will, Emma." Noah said, softly as well.
The group arrived at Noah's house. Emma and Kitty walked into the house, and agreed to not go upstairs, since Duncan was most likely asleep upstairs. Emma kisses Noah one more time, before the two boys finally walked back out of the house. Just as the rain was beginning to start, the two looked up, hearing the thunder in the sky. Noah then looks over to Cody one more time, then pulled out the bow and arrow that Emma handed over to him.
"You ready to kick this guy's ass once and for all Cody?" Noah asked him. Cody nods his head, keeping the baseball bat he was keeping by his side.
"You bet, Noah." Cody said. The two fist bumped on it, one more time, before heading out into the neighborhood to try to find this psycho.
