Eames' Apartment 6am
She woke up and stretched. Another day a work and another day to get through. She sleepily wiped her eyes and headed for the shower. She got dressed and grabbed something to eat. She was actually early for once, so decided to read her mail before she left. She flicked through the white envelopes. Bill, bill, council notice, letter from Hannah, unmarked. She opened the unmarked one and read it. She dropped all the others and raced out.
"Oh my god," she said to herself and raced to work.

"You are the last one on my list. You are the last to get me pissed. My quest is close to being complete. And we'll finish this game of Hide and Seek." Goren read aloud as Eames stood biting her nails. She looked worried and tense. "And you got it this morning?" he asked. She nodded and sat down.
"It was with the rest of my mail. I didn't hear or see anyone," she said, her voice shaky.
"So you think it is the same guy?" he asked. She nodded. "It is like a puzzle. He is saying he's finishing a game."
"And he's coming after me. What do I do? We have to catch him. He'll kill me and hide my body and when I don't turn up for work you'll go looking for me and-"
"Alex, don't worry. You'll be safe. Chill," he reassured her. She took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
"Ok. There has to be a link. The first murder, Jaylene, was supposed to be hidden, but we found her. The second murder, Phoebe, she just disappeared. No note, nothing. The third murder, unknown, we found a note. The fourth murder, me, note." She tried to analyse everything, but still didn't come up with any answers.
"Eames, you aren't murdered yet," Goren reminded her.
"We have to go out. We have to search for clues. Come on," she pulled him up and raced out.

PARK
The park was teeming with people. The Unity festival was almost upon them and the park was decorated with balloons, streamers, statues and food stalls. Eames looked around her, searching for clues.
"How do we know he's here?" Goren asked.
"I don't. I'm just guessing," she answered. "We have to get to the docks and check that boat out again. Where is the bus stop?" she searched, but when she found it the bus was just about to leave. She raced up the side of it, and looked at all the people inside. Even if it had stopped, they wouldn't be able to get on. Then someone caught her eye. A man who seemed intimidated by all the people. He wore a grey sweatshirt and looked awfully familiar. He looked over and caught Eames' eye. Goren was busy taking in all the festivities, but Eames stared at him, wracking her brain trying to find where he was from. Suddenly she realised.
"That's it," she said aloud. Goren looked at her.
"Huh?"
"That guy. The one at the apartment,"
"The one that laughed?" he asked. She nodded. "What about him?"
"His jumper.did you see what was written on it?" she asked Goren.
"No. I was paying more attention to the hand that hit me on the face and the blunt pain on my cheek," he said. She shook her head.
"Well it was a WWF jumper. It said 'Win the Fight'." Goren looked at her. "And then he was in the park. And the woman with the boat said she saw the same guy with a jumper saying 'You can run, but you can't hide'. He has something to do with.or.he's the one. He's here, now, following me." She looked into the man's eyes as if to say is it you? He caught on, shook off the timid look for an instant and smiled. He got up so his back faced the window. His jumper said 'Found you'. Her mouth fell open, and as someone grabbed her shoulder, she screamed.
"Hey, It's me! Geez Alex you're so tense," came the voice. It was Phillip O'Reilley.
"What the hell are you doing?" Goren asked him. Phillip backed off.
"She just looked so tense. I just wanted to say hi," he said and walked off.
"That was very very weird," Goren said. Eames suddenly realised they were in it together.
"Goren, get him!" she said, as she started to race after him. Phillip looked back, and bolted. A tell tale sign he was guilty of something. Goren chased him down and hand cuffed him.
"What are you doing? You have nothing connecting me!" Phillip yelled.
"We have reason to believe you are involved with these murders. You are under arrest."
