By the looks of where they are standing, Gwen and Cody finally arrived at the town hall. The two heard the sound of lightning above them, and then saw the police car and McLean's car both heading off around the neighborhood. The two remained hidden behind the bushes near the building, making sure that the two cars didn't notice them, nor the person who's going around, getting rid of Duncan's friends.

Cody turns his head towards the town hall's basement window, seeing that there was a figure wearing the exact same thing the previous killer was wearing before. He appeared to be dropping something big into the basement, but neither of them could see what he or she was placing into the basement through the window.

"Well..." Gwen whispers, before pulling her crossbow out of her backpack. "...Think we can take him out? Because if Duncan's in the town hall right now, then we should probably do it now." Cody looked out to the distance, seeing that Topher was walking out from inside the town hall from the corner. "Cody? What are you..."

"Gwen, look." Cody whispers, pointing at Topher, as he was walking his way towards the corner of the town hall building.

The two looked over to see that Topher was walking over to the spot where the figure was at by the window to the basement. Topher took notice of what the guy was placing into the basement below, and then walked up to him. Cody and Gwen walked over to the side of the town hall, staying hidden from the two near the window, trying to hear the conversation. They couldn't hear anything because of the rain, but the two of them could see a bit of an argument happening between the two of them. By the looks of it, it definitely looks like Topher actually is apart of all of this in the first place.

"See? I told you Topher shouldn't be trusted." Cody whispers to Gwen. The goth looked over to the boy she was with, wondering what the plan was.

"Well now what?" Gwen asked the boy.

"I think we got to get in there and warn Noah and Duncan. I feel like they don't know that Topher is planning something this whole time." Gwen looks over to the two by the window one more time, before looking at Cody.

"Good call, Cody. Now let's go."

The two ran up to the town hall door. Gwen knocks on the door rapidly, hoping that the mayor, Duncan, or Noah ends up hearing their calls. Cody looked inside the window to see if they would be coming over to the door or not.

Thankfully, looking inside the town hall, Noah was actually running his way downstairs right now. The boy ran up to the double doors, letting Cody and Gwen into the town hall. After the two were finally inside the building, Cody spoke to his best friend.

"Noah, thank god you guys are okay." Cody said.

"Yeah. But why wouldn't we be?" Noah asked him.

Cody held onto his friend by his arms, looking into his eyes. "Noah, you're not going to believe us at all, but I'm telling the truth here. Topher is probably one of the two guys who we seen back there in the parking lot last night." Noah raises an eyebrow after hearing that said.

"What?! Topher?! Why him?! How did you come to that conclusion?"

"Dude...hear me out...I was walking down the street, and then Chris drove up to me wanting to know if me, Gwen, or anyone else would want to help him, but then he said that Duncan and Topher had a bit of problems back when the two were in middle school and high school." Noah looks behind himself at the stairs, as Cody continued. "By the sound of it, it makes perfect sense. If Topher hasn't been seen during the last few years of high school, then that could only mean that..." Cody stops himself, remembering another clue that was found. "Hold on...I just remembered one little thing...is Topher from New York, or had any association with that state, somehow?"

"I don't know nothing about the guy. So you got me, dude." Noah looks up at the stairs. "However, if this is true, then who's the other guy?"

"I don't know that either..." Cody than had one more thought that came to mind when it came down to all of this. "Hold on...now that I think about it...what is all that stuff that the killer was placing inside the basement? We still don't know anything about that yet."

"Do you even know where the basement door is in this place?" Gwen asked.

"I actually do." Noah said. "Back on one of the field trips in college here, I saw a door that had the word 'Basement' on it, and that's at the end of the hallway nearby."

"Really?" Cody asked. "Guess it's that easy, huh?" Cody then looks over to Gwen, before looking at Noah. "So...now what's the plan? Who takes care of what in this problem?"

"Well...I say I'll see what's in the basement with Gwen by my side. Cody, since you heard this front Chris, I think you should be the one to confront Duncan about this." Cody's eyes widened hearing that being said. "Don't worry, I doubt Mayor Hatchet will allow Duncan to kick your ass in a place like this. Anyway, me and Gwen have some investigating to do. I'll tell you what we find after we're done."

"Be careful down there."

"We will. Just make sure that if you hear footsteps in the upstairs area. Prepare to fight whoever it is."

"I will."

After their talk...

Noah and Gwen went up to the basement door that the former was talking about. Noah looked at the sign on the door, before looking over to Gwen, who has her crossbow equipped and ready, in case something goes awry in this room. He gulps before grabbing a hold of the doorknob.

But turning the knob didn't do anything, as the door was locked. Somewhat good, as whoever was down there wouldn't come charging up here like a psycho immediately. But now they have to find a way down there. Noah looks at Gwen, before heading over to the janitors closet.

He turns the knob on the closet door, seeing that it was unlocked. Noah walks into the janitors closet, looking around for a key. He looks around for a bit, until he discovered that the key was hidden under the trash can. Noah picks it up, and heads over to the basement door again. He places the key into the lock, before Noah looks over to Gwen one more time.

"You ready?" Noah asked the goth.

Gwen places an arrow into her crossbow, before nodding her head. "You bet I am." Gwen said softly.

The door swings up, and Gwen aimed the crossbow into the dark basement. A couple seconds of waiting, and...nothing came out of the basement. Seeing that the cost was clear, Noah tried to reach out for a light switch, only to notice that there was none there. Noah pulls his phone out, turning the light on, before looking over to Gwen.

"Alright...stay alert at all times, Noah." Gwen said to him.

"I will." Noah whispers, before moving slowly into the basement.

The two walked into the basement, wondering what the secondary killer placed down here. The two made it to the bottom of the stairs, where they were met with even more darkness. Noah looks over to Gwen, curious about something, now that they were down here.

"You think there's a light switch down here?" Noah whispers. "I think we should find a light before anything else." Gwen looks around the dark basement, seeing that that might be a safer idea than going into this in the dark.

"I think that's for..." Gwen was immediately interrupted by the sound of a panic mumbling. She held up her crossbow again, looking around. "What the hell was that?!" Noah listens closely to the noise, only to notice one thing about it. His eyes widened.

"Courtney?! How did she..." Noah looks over to the walls, then looks over to Gwen. "Hold the light for me, I got to find a light to see what the hell these guys have done."

"Alright."

Noah looks around the walls, trying to find a way to turn the lights on. He places his hands on the wall, trying to find a switch, then finally found one after looking around a little bit. Once he found it, he immediately turns on the light, causing the lights to be on.

Noah and Gwen looked over to the middle of the room, seeing what was making that mumbling noise. There were two chairs, with two people that were tied up together on them. It was Courtney and Bridgette. Courtney was awake, but Bridgette was passed out. Courtney was visibly panicking, while Bridgette was still knocked out. Gwen ran up to the surfer girl, before looking over to Noah.

"She's still breathing. She's not dead." Gwen told Noah. Gwen then turns to Courtney. "Courtney, are you okay?"

"I was just kidnapped...do you honestly think that I am okay?!" Courtney asked angry. "Get me out of here!"

"We will once you calm down."

"Damn it, Gwen...just get me out of here..." Courtney angrily mutters.

Gwen started to try to the rope that was keeping Courtney tied to the chair. Noah went over to try to help, only for the sound of the basement door closing was heard upstairs. The two stopped in their tracks, hearing that noise. Gwen and Noah looked at each other, seeing that whoever it was is coming down to the basement right this very moment.

Meanwhile...

Cody walked up the stairs of the town hall to find and confront Duncan about him and Topher's past. It might be pointless, but he sent a text to Emma and Kitty in hopes that they know that he, Noah, and Gwen are at the town hall, trying to figure out what this plan the two killers have. Hopefully, the two sisters end up seeing the text and come to their rescue if needed.

Cody walked around the upstairs floor hallway, until he made it to the mayor's office once again. He stopped next to the door, before Duncan came out of the room so that he can go to the restroom. Duncan looks over to notice Cody standing next to the mayor's door, waiting for him to finally talk to him.

"What do you want?" Duncan asked.

"Duncan, we seriously need to talk. It's about Topher." Cody said. "Because Chris said something about you and him having some bad history in the past. In high school, specifically." Duncan scoffs, rolling his eyes at that being said to him. "Seriously dude, Chris told me everything."

"Hey, my life in high school was nothing but shit. So I'm not going to give a shit, nor talk about it."

"Well, shitty life or not, we're in a bit of danger here if you haven't noticed." Cody held up his hands, and then glared at the older punk man. "Okay, you know what? I think I have no other choice but to be blunt with you about all of this now. What I am getting at is this...me and Chris talked, and when he mentioned you and Topher had some sort of past together, that made me assume that he had something to do with what happened to your friends." Duncan's eyes widened when he heard Cody jump to that conclusion.

"Topher is the killer here?! That weak idiot?!"

"It's an assumption I am saying here. Right now...but by the looks of it, I can only assume that he had something to do with this. Now tell me what happened?!" Duncan stared at Cody for a couple seconds, before looking at the shorter boy again.

"I'm sorry...I can't really say what happened in the past, Cody. And even then, the last thing I need is the remember anything from my high school years. So shut the fuck up about that bullshit, and leave me alone about all of this." The weaker boy groans, before walking pass Duncan.

"Does Topher have a spot to work at around here?"

"I don't know. You've been here more than I did."

Cody walked over to the hallway of offices that were located at. The boy looks at the many names on the door, before noticing one office that had Topher's name on the door. He then opens the door, looking around to find some sort of clue that was in the office to show Duncan that Topher was one of the few people who was doing all of this.

Looking around the entire office, Cody looks through the desk, under the chair, inside the trash bin, including around the vending machine that was inside his room for some reason. So far, nothing. That was until Cody looked by the filing cabinets.

This finally made Cody believe that Topher had something to do with all of this...

Looking on the ground near the cabinets, there was a pen on the ground, that most likely belonged to Topher. The state it was from was New York. Cody knew that Gwen brought up that whoever the culprit is, was from, or went to, that state. He had to warn the mayor right now.
