The police arrived about 10 minutes after Yang's body was found. She was already breathless by the time Ruby and her teammates saw her. Ruby held her in her arms, crying. Her sister was gone. This really happened. Ruby then heard her scroll vibrate, and immediately answered it. Thinking it was the killer again, she shouted, "GO TO HELL YOU PSYCHO!" Ruby screamed into the device through her tears, before hearing Jaune's voice reply, "Ruby, it's me! What happened? Police are everywhere." Ruby replied, "It's Yang, the killer….he…" she sobbed, attempting to speak through a cracking voice. "I'm on my way. Don't worry. Everything will be okay." A police officer grabbed Ruby's shoulder and said, "Miss, we need you to leave so we can look for clues. General Ironwood also has questions for you." Ruby sat silent, but then nodded as the officer escorted her out of the room, that was covered in police tape behind her. Her teammates, Weiss and Blake, hugged her as she cried into their shoulders. "I'm so sorry, Ruby." Weiss said, trying to calm her down. "It should have been me…" Ruby cried, hugging them back.
After the police combed the scene for evidence, Ruby was told what they knew from the police officer who spoke with her, and she told them what she had experienced. Apparently someone cloned Yang's scroll that had the same number, and when Yang called Ruby earlier, it was the killer using a voice-changer app. "But why would they do this?" Ruby asked, rubbing her eyes. "I don't know, Miss Rose. But if the killer was after you, they will probably attack you again. So we will probably give you bodyguards, and in case the killer continues to call you, we will ask your permission to tap your scroll so we can detect more easily where the call came from." Ruby nodded, and then the officer nodded, "Alright, can I see your scroll?" Ruby nodded and handed the device to the officer. "We'll have to take this as evidence, is that alright with you?" Ruby nodded, not really caring about where her device went at this point.
Ruby then saw Jaune walk up to her, and he said, "Hey, are you alright?" Ruby shook her head. She most certainly wasn't. Jaune put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her close for a hug, and Ruby started crying a little bit again. Jaune continued trying to reassure her. "Don't worry. Everything will be alright."
The next day, school was closed again for more investigation. Team RWBY wasn't allowed into their own room, so Blake was in the library, and Weiss, Ruby and Jaune were out in the courtyard. They weren't talking that much. And if they did say something, it wasn't important and Ruby wouldn't remember it anyways. Eventually, Ruby sat down by a tree. Weiss and Jaune sat next to her. Weiss tried to put her hand on Ruby's shoulder, rubbing it to try and comfort her. But after nothing happened she stopped. Ruby eventually said, "Who do you guys think is doing this?" Jaune shrugged, and Weiss said, "Well, from what I know, Ruby was attacked and so was Velvet. So what do they have in common that would cause the killer to attack them?" They sat in silence for a moment, thinking. "Drawing a blank here." Ruby said, and then Jaune said, "You're both girls, so maybe the killer's a guy?" Ruby and Weiss looked at him. "Well, I'm just thinking… maybe the guy had something against Velvet and Ruby? I don't know, just a thought." Weiss scroll started ringing. She looked at the number and saw it was Winter. She let it go to voicemail. Ruby said, "Well, Velvet wasn't really close with anyone besides Cocco, so that doesn't really narrow down the suspects at all." Jaune then said, "What if it was Cocco?" Ruby shook her head, "Doesn't make sense to attack me and kill… well… you know." Ruby said, sobbing slightly again. Jaune quickly apologized, "Sorry, didn't mean to make you remember that again." Weiss's scroll rang again. It was Winter, once again. Weiss let it go to voicemail again, starting to get annoyed. "What about Blake?" Weiss said, and Ruby and Jaune looked at her. "I mean, with the White Fang and all, maybe-" Weiss's scroll then rang again. She angrily picked it up and said, "WINTER, WHAT IS IT?!" "I hope I'm not interrupting anything…" The mechanically altered voice of a man replied. Weiss's eyes widened, as she realized this must be the voice Ruby heard. "Do you want to die, tonight, Miss Schnee…" Weiss stood up, her worries confirmed. "Weiss, what is it?" Jaune and Ruby asked in unison. "It's the killer…" Weiss said, her face growing more pale than usual.
