At the police station, Shawn asked about the case and to his dismay, the police said they were no longer looking into the case. "I'm sorry but it seems that the criminal got away this time," the head police officer said. He also repeated the clues they already had though. The car was an old Chevrolet and it's license plate read 109HG3. Shawn shouted some very bad language to him and had to be dragged out. Topanga was waiting outside the station to hear from Shawn when he came out. "So, what did they find out Shawn?" Topanga asked eagerly. "They said the case was closed. They weren't going to try anymore," Shawn said, trying not to cry. "It's okay," said Topanga patting him on the shoulder. "No it's not!!!!!!" yelled Shawn and then started crying. At the sight of Shawn's tears, Topanga cried too. Then Topanga drove Shawn back to his apartment but once in the building he rushed up the stairs and called the morgue. After speaking with them, Shawn said, "We will get to the bottom of this case no matter what!" Topanga nodded and they both went into Angela's apartment to tell them the other bad news.
Jack was in Angela, Shawn, and Rachel's apartment again but seeing Shawn and Topanga, he quickly "went to the bathroom." Topanga told them what happened at the police station and that tomorrow Shawn was going to the morgue to see Cory and figure out the way he was killed. At this Jack was back from the bathroom but ran out of the apartment to his own. Everyone but Shawn thought it was because of grief. Shawn though, thought differently. He said he had to go somewhere and went down to the garage. He picked out Jack's car and looked at it. It was an old Chevy like the police station had described except it's license was I8ABUG, not 109HG3. The characters on it looked a little strange though, as if they had been drawn on.

The next day, Shawn went to the morgue. Topanga decided she could come but she wouldn't see Cory's body. So they entered together and Shawn told someone that they had an appointment with Cory Matthew's morgue doctor. They went up two floors and across the hall, was where Cory's morgue doctor and his body was. Shawn went over there and asked the doctor a few questions before looking at the body. When the cloth was lifted, a look of such hatred and malice showed on his face, that even the most deadly enemy would have been scared. Then he yelled and ran off. Topanga followed, running after him. In Shawn's car, he started banging his head against the steering wheel and screamed some more. Topanga reached the car and stopped him from hurting himself anymore. Then she said, "Don't do this to yourself. It wasn't your fault Cory …you know…," and she gave him a kiss. Shawn was amazed at this gesture of kindness towards him from Topanga. It had always seemed that they were competing for Cory but now that there was no Cory… He was too confused by the day's events to think right. As Topanga drove the car back, Shawn went to sleep.

Topanga went to her apartment to think this over. "Why did I kiss him?" she said aloud. "I could have hugged him or patted his shoulder or held his hand but I kissed him." Topanga thought of a reason but quickly pushed it out of her mind. The last thing she should think about was her relationship with Shawn. Besides, he had Angela. But Topanga knew that Shawn and Angela were having problems, and growing apart. Angela seemed to think that if she didn't think something, it wouldn't happen. She and Cory were a lot alike, Topanga thought smiling. Maybe she (Author's note: this means Topanga) and Shawn had more in common than they realized…

Meanwhile, Shawn still slept (Topanga had carried him to his apartment). He dreamed a strange dream and when he woke up he tried to push it out of his head although it nagged him. He dreamed that he and Topanga were at a beach. They were making out while Cory was in the restroom. Then they heard a scream from the restroom but just continued to make out. What could this mean thought Shawn when he woke up? Could it mean that… No. He shouldn't think about that. Topanga was feeling bad about Cory and he should be too. Anyway, he and Angela were still going out. Trying to forget about it, he went back to sleep.
Author's Note: Sorry, I forgot the disclaimer. But you guyz all know that I didn't steal all the characters? Well, if you didn't, I don't own Cory, Topanga, Shawn, Angela, and the rest of the characters from Boy Meets World. Things are getting interesting, eh?
