The very next morning...

"So, what you're telling me is that...you and Cody saw two killers out there?" Emma asked.

Noah was standing near the stove, baking pancakes for himself and his friends. Emma was helping him in the process as he was baking the food for Kitty and Cody, who were talking about the same exact thing in the living room. Noah places a couple pancakes down onto the plates, and then carried them over to the table so that he and his friends could eat.

"I'm telling the truth here, Emma...and I wish I was joking when I said that." Noah said. "Cody explained it to me, that it's the reason how Alejandro and Trent were killed, while we all saw the same killer at the gas station at the same time. There's no other reason rather there being two of them." Noah sat down, picking up a fork off of the table. "Honestly, I'm seriously now wondering how's guilty and who's innocent in this town, because the culprits could be anyone at this point."

"Any ideas yet?" Emma asked.

"Well...I still haven't talked to Harold, Cameron, Sam, and many of the other people that Duncan and his friends have bullied in the past...the only one being Mike, and me accusing him really upset Zoey, so I'm not trying him again."

"So now where do we go from here?"

"What else?" Noah asked, as Kitty and Cody entered the dining room. "We look for clues, and hope that we find out who these guys are, before they know where Duncan is." The boy sighed, as he looked over to his girlfriend. "I'm just happy to know that he didn't know where he was when all of us were sleeping here last night." The three nodded and agreed on that.

"It really sucks that Trent died trying to protect Gwen, Geoff, and Shawn..." Kitty said. "...He wasn't even apart of Duncan's group..."

"Which I can only assume he's after the town now..." Cody said. "It's either that, or he killed Trent because he was in the way."

"The last part sounds the most reasonable." Emma said, picking up her fork next. The girl then looks down at her food, rather forlorn at the consequences of Trent's death. She looks over to the group, a bit worried about one person in that situation. "Considering that Gwen and Trent have been together for a bit, how do you guys think she feels about all of this?" Cody looks down, feeling worried for his former crush.

"I...I don't know..." Cody said. "I tried texting her last night, but...she refused to answer my attempts at comforting her."

"Her boyfriend did end up dying during the process." Kitty said. "She's probably seriously upset about all of this."

Sitting there for a couple more seconds, Cody stood up from the table, before turning his head to his best friend. He didn't feel like leaving Gwen to cry about what she went through, so he felt like it would be best to try to comfort her. He steps away from his own chair, then spoke to Noah.

"Hey, dude...I hope you don't mind...but, I feel like I should really just go find Gwen and see how she's doing about all of this." Cody said. "I'll catch you later, okay man?" Noah nods his head.

"Alright, Cody. Tell Gwen that I'm sorry for her loss." Noah said.

"I will."

Cody heads out of the house, and headed off to go to Gwen's house. Noah, Emma, and Kitty remained sitting at the table. Once they heard the door close, Emma sighed, before looking down at her plate, still eating her breakfast. The three of them sat there silently at the table, not saying a word, feeling like whatever they say would be considered insensitive, either continuing the mystery or just trying to change the subject.

The three of them just hoped that Gwen was alright...


With Gwen now...

The goth laid there in her bed, still in her pajamas, staring at the wall. She almost didn't get any sort of sleep that night due to what ended up happening to Trent when they were at Alejandro's house. Gwen sighed, sadly, still staring at the posters on her wall, as she wasn't wanting to get up or do anything at the moment. She was too distraught to do anything.

That was until the sound of the door being knocked on was heard. Gwen stood up, and headed downstairs to see who was wanting to talk to her right now. If it was Detective McLean, she was just going to slam the door in his face, because she would outright hate being accused of something after what had happened.

Gwen opens the door, ready to yell if it really was Chris, only to see that it was Cody. The boy waved at her with a look of remorse on his face.

"Hey...Gwen...I've been...seeing if you were alright last night after...well, what happened last night..." Cody said. "Are you okay?" Gwen sighed, before looking down to the floor.

"No, I'm not alright...Trent's dead...if you haven't already...realized that..."

"Yeah...Geoff told us on the walkie-talkie when..." Cody shook his head, before changing his words on that one. "I...was texting you last night, seeing if you were alright, but...I was ignored. Maybe I shouldn't have came down here anyway, considering that I've been a bit of an ass in the past, but...I really wanted to see if you were alright."

"Considering that Trent's dead, I guess there's really no other choice, huh?" Cody stared at her silently, before the goth girl sighed. "I'm sorry...I'm never this bitter towards people, but who would be this angry that their own boyfriend got killed right before their eyes? I know I would."

"Well...despite our past, Gwen...I'm always here for you. Noah is here for you as well, just remember that." Gwen nods her head, wiping a tear from her eye.

"Thank you, Cody."

Cody nods his head, before he backs up from the porch, allowing Gwen to go back inside so that she can get herself ready for the day. Once the goth closed her door, Cody started to turn around, ready to head back to either Noah's house, or his own house. But just before Cody could go off to one of the houses he was planning on going to, he heard the sound of rustling in the nearby bushes.

The boy looks over to the bush that was right nearby, hearing the rustling coming from it. Only to see that there was nobody else, but Izzy, looking out from inside of the hedge that was near the next yard. She rolls out from the hedge, before standing up off of the ground.

"Hello Cody." Izzy said. "I heard you and Gwen were talking about something secret, were you?" The boy glared at the usually hyper girl, before berating her for butting into their conversation.

"I was comforting Gwen." Cody said, pretty annoyed at the hyperactive as she stood there smiling away. "We appreciate your help, but you are really starting to get on my nerves, also...you were helping MacArthur last night instead of us? You knew Gwen was in trouble with Detective McLean for trying to be the hero in this situation. Since you've been hanging out with MacArthur for so long, you probably would've known that by now." The girl narrows her eyes, before placing a police hat onto her own head.

"Do you want me to send you in? Because I do not like how you are talking to me?" Izzy then spoke more seriously now. "The only reason I was helping the police is that because I was actually becoming good friends with MacArthur, and she was beginning to trust me well enough to have on her and Chris's side when danger is afoot. Besides, from what Chris was telling me before, Jo might've had a chance to survive if Gwen and Noah weren't trying to act like heroes in the problem she was stuck in. Jo might've had a chance to live." Cody rolled his eyes, before pointing behind himself.

"Berate her all you want, but...Alejandro is dead, and so is Trent...her boyfriend..."

"Trent is dead?" Izzy asked, shocked.

"Yes. He is...he is found outside of Alejandro's house, and..." Cody didn't want to say what truly happened last night, since doing that might end up throwing Gwen, Noah, and everyone else under the bus if he were to do so. "...Trent told me that now that Gwen isn't allowed to save the neighborhood, because...Chris told her so...he told me that he was going out into the neighborhood so that he can finally satisfy Gwen's wishes. Sadly...he died in the process, and...so did Alejandro..." Izzy cringed hearing that being said.

"Damn, that really sucks. I mean, Alejandro was everything that a girl would want in a guy. I mean...a complete gentleman, neat hair, gorgeous eyes...too bad he's gone." Izzy takes off her police hat, placing it back into her pocket. "Well...I'm sorry if I jumped to a terrible conclusion while E-Scope was meant to try to take this job seriously. She must do a better job at trying to figure out who this guy is."

"Well...there's two of them, just so you know..."

"What?! What makes you think that?!"

"I-I just saw two figures out there, okay? Also, don't jump to the conclusion that it's Gwen and Noah just because they were there at the construction site when Jo died. They are not. I should know." Izzy cringed again, before turning away from the man.

"Jeez, fine...I won't assume it's either one of you guys then..."

Izzy mutters something, before throwing herself, rolling into the hedge again. Cody looks behind himself, one more time, before walking off to his own house, wanting to finally just go home and try to relax for one day.
