Chapter Thirteen

Key Elements (Sidney, Billy & Tatum)

Having left their home in the mountains for safety reasons, Billy and Sidney took the boys to his parents' house. Tatum and Mickey weren't too far behind. Sidney called his parents while in the car to let them know what was going on. Laura told them to come as soon as possible. Tatum and Mickey were also invited to stay as well. As soon as Billy's car pulled into his parent's garage, Hank and Billy grabbed their bags out of the trunk while Sidney and Laura took the sleeping tots into the house. Sidney and Billy slept in the first guest room with the twins while Tatum and Mickey slept in the other. That was last night.

Billy was up early. He's sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee thinking about his conversation with the killer. How had the killer known where he and Sidney lived? No one knew. Not even Dewey knew where they lived. He had their number but not their address. The only ones allowed to know their location were Billy's parents. He thinks back remembering what Ghost Face said to him. "I'm gonna have fun tearing you apart and I'm gonna make Sidney watch you die before I slaughter her." Billy got so angry he was squeezing the cup of coffee in his hand. He squeezed it so hard it broke spilling all over his hand.

"Shit! Shit! Fuck! Fuck!" Billy cursed.

Having had another nightmare, Sidney's eye shot open. Her breathing is very heavy. She realizes that she had another nightmare regarding her mother. She looks over on the side of the bed normally occupied by Billy was empty. She wondered where her husband was. She got up out of the bed and headed into the kitchen. There she saw Billy sitting their deep in thought. She figured he was thinking about the murders and the killer knowing their location. The fact that the killer hadn't tried to attack them when he had the chance was confusing. Then it hit her. She remembered what Billy told her the killer said. The killer didn't attack because of their babies but would soon make orphans of them. Sidney didn't care about that. All she wanted was for her boys to be safe. She sure as hell didn't want to die nor did she want to see her husband dead. She just wished this whole thing was over with. She watched him as he broke the coffee mug spilling it all over him self. She knew he was upset with the threat of the killer. She watched him clean the coffee off the counter and off the floor before deciding to make her way over to him. She touched his shoulder and he jumped.

"Jesus." Billy said startled.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you." Sidney said.

"You couldn't sleep huh?" Billy asked her.

"No, had another nightmare. I swear I'm so tired of having these bad dreams." Sidney said.

"Come here." Billy says pulling Sidney into him. Her hands find their way around his neck while his arms wrap around her waste. "I love you so much baby." He said leaning his forehead on hers.

"I love you to stud." Sidney said smiling. Holding her husband in her arms made her feel safe. She cherished every intimate moment with him. "Billy, what did the killer say to you that's got you so mad?" Sidney asked.

"Other than the usual?" He asked.

"Yeah." Sidney said.

"He said that he couldn't wait to tear me apart and that he was going to make you watch me die before slaughtering you." Billy said as Sidney flinched. She sighed deeply. "I swear if he so much as lay a finger on you, I'm gonna fucking destroy him." Billy adds. Sidney leans into him trying to calm him. She could feel the anger rising him again.

"It's gonna be ok." She said to him.

"You can't promise that." Billy said. "I won't let him hurt you."

"I know." Sidney said to him. "I won't watch you die. That's not happening."

"You can't promise that." Billy told her more firmly.

"No but I can think positive. Even if we have to stop him ourselves, then so be it. You and I Billy have been through a lot. We can handle this to." Sidney said to him. "Ok." Billy nods smiling. Both kiss passionately.

"That's why I love you." Billy said.

"My hero." Sidney said to him as they kissed again. "I was thinking."

"About?" Billy asked her.

"That it's time we meaning you, me, Tatum and Mickey talk to Det. Kincaid. We need help if we're going to stop this killer." Sidney said.

"I couldn't agree more." Billy said.

Later that morning, in Det. Kincaid's office, Gale, and Dewey are Detectives Kincaid and Wallace. After what took place last night, the body count has risen to six. Cotton Weary, his girlfriend Christine, Sarah Darling, Roger Corman, Steven Stone and now Tom Prinze. Det. Wallace was getting frustrated murders and the lack of evidence in the case except for a picture of Maureen Evans. The killer leaves the picture after every murder. So far there are five pictures. Det. Kincaid has them on his bulletin board. The four are talking.

"Whoever is doing this is taking credit for Maureen Prescott's murder" Det. Kincaid said.

Gale-

"But we know who killed Maureen Prescott, Randy Meeks and Stu Macher. I mean, they even told Sidney how they did it!" Gale said.

"Yeah, but, if I'm not mistaken, you said in your book that Sidney got it wrong before. She accused Cotton Weary of murdering her mother, and he was sent away for it! Maybe there is a third killer. Sidney Might know something. Hell may Tatum knows something or Billy Loomis." Det. Kincaid said is getting in Dewey's face.

"I told you, I don't know where Sidney is. And even if there was a third killer, Sidney doesn't know about it." Dewey said to him. "I don't even think Billy Loomis her husband would know. I know for sure that my sister knows nothing about Maureen Prescott."

"That is for me to decide. I need to talk to her Mr. Riley, she is a key element in this case. In fact, she, Billy and Tatum are key elements and may have info that can help this case. I have a press conference in an hour, and I need to explain why there are six dead people." Det. Kincaid said.

"And a very angry mayor." Det. Wallace adds.

"OK, look. We all know that this has something to do with 'Stab 3'. What we do not know is why the killer keeps leaving pictures of Maureen Prescott taken over 25 years ago." Gale said.

"Pictures taken at the same studio 'Stab 3' is shooting at." Det. Kincaid adds.

"What does this have to do with Sid?" Dewey asked.

"Who knows more about Maureen Prescott than her own daughter?" Det. Kincaid told him.

"Well Sid's aunt Kate Roberts couldn't help you and she was Maureen's sister." Dewey told him. Det. Kincaid stared at him. "Think about it Detective, Billy was never close to Maureen and my sister didn't know Maureen the way Kate did."

"That's why Sidney is the only one who can tell talk to us about her mother." Det. Kincaid said. Dewey looked away contemplating if he should call Sid.

"What's your problem? Last night you were almost charcoal. You gonna help us or what?" Det. Wallace asked.

"Do you wanna have this conversation with a polygraph?" Det. Kincaid asked frustrated with Dewey.

"Is that a threat, Detective?" Dewey asked.

"When it's a threat, you'll know it." Det. Kincaid told him.

"Is that a threat?" Dewey asked dimwittedly. Det. Kincaid was about to get in his face again but Gale stopped him.

"Boys, boys, why don't we compare our gun calibers later? The issue is Maureen Prescott!" Gale told them getting back to the issue at hand.

"Wrong, this issue is Sidney Prescott! And either Mr. Riley is going to obstruct justice or is going to put me in touch with her. So, where is she?" Det. Kincaid said.

Dewey heads to the hallway to use his cellular. He dials Sidney's phone and gets the answering machine.

"Hi, you've reached the machine. Leave a message, talk as long as you want." Billy and Sid's voices can be heard on the phone by Dewey.

Sid, Billy, it's me, this is the fifth time I've called." Dewey said as Sidney, Billy, Tatum and Mickey came walking through the station door. "Please pick up. I wanna make sure you're…" He sees them. "Ok. Sid! Billy!" Dewey said as they rushed up and hugged him tight. "Tatum." Dewey said pulling Tatum into a hug. She returned it. "It's so good to see you guys. Hey Mickey." Dewey shook his hand.

"It's good to see you to Dewey." Sid said.

"I thought I told you four to stay hidden?" Dewey asked them.

"Well, when we heard about Cotton, I had to make sure you were safe." Tatum said.

"Yeah, we also wanted to make sure Sid and Billy were ok with the babies." Mickey said.

"Glad to know you're concerned about me. What about you two?" Dewey asked referring to Sidney and Billy.

"The killer called us." Sidney said as Billy nods.

"What?" Dewey asked.

"It's true." Tatum said.

"We were there." Mickey said.

"You shouldn't have come out of hiding." Dewey said to them.

"Dewey, the killer knows where Sid and live. He even mentioned it last night." Billy said. Dewey looked at him. "We're no safe up there and than we are down. At least here we're not alone."

"The news said that there was another murder, is that true?" Tatum asked.

"Yeah." Dewey said. "Gale and I were at Jennifer Jolie's house last night when the killer got Jennifer's bodyguard and Tom Prinze."

"Jesus, Dewey, you ok?" Sid asked.

"Oh, yeah, I'm alright." Dewey said as Tatum gently touched his cuts.

"Is she ok?" Sidney asked about Gale.

"Yeah, you know Gale. She can take a direct hit." Dewey said as they chuckled.

"So the news said this was the precinct, who's this guy Kincaid?" Billy asked.

"Come on. I'll introduce you to him." Dewey said as the five made their way in the back to Det. Kincaid's office. Dewey knocks on the door. "Detective Kincaid?"

"Yeah?" Det. Kincaid asks.

"We have guests that want to help in the case." Dewey said.

"Oh my god! Sidney, Billy Tatum Mick! You guys are fast or what? Hi." Gale said hugging the group of friends.

"Hi, Gale. I'm glad you're ok." Sidney said.

"Yeah, I don't think my bro could lose you." Tatum said mocking Dewey who blushed.

"Thanks guys." Gale said.

"Guys, this is Detective Mark Kincaid." Dewey said. "Detective, Sidney Prescott-Loomis, Billy Loomis, Tatum Riley-Alteri and Mickey Alteri." Det. Kincaid flinched a bit when Dewey introduced Sidney by her married name. This didn't go unnoticed by Mickey who smirked.

"It's nice to meet you all." Det. Kincaid said. They four nodded. Det. Kincaid gave Sidney and longer look. This did not go unnoticed by Billy who didn't like it one bit.

"The Killer called them." Dewey said.

"What? When?" Detective Kincaid asked.

"Last night." Sidney said.

"What did he say?" Gale asked.

"Oh, you know, the usual small talk, "What's new, how ya been, how do you want to die?" Sidney said. "But then he called Billy."

"What did he say to you?" Det. Kincaid asked directing his question at Billy.

"He said that he couldn't wait to tear me apart and he'd make Sidney watch me die before slaughtering her. After that call, we all left our house." Billy said.

"Where are you guys staying now?" Asked Det. Kincaid.

"That's classified." Billy said not trusting the detective. Kincaid noticed this. So did the others. "No offense detective but I have to make sure my family is safe."

"I understand. What matters it that you guys took the time out to come and help. We could use it." Det. Kincaid said to them.

"There's something else you should know." Billy said as they looked on. "The killer could've gotten Sid and me a long time ago."

"What do you mean?" Gale asked.

"The killer has known all along where we've been living all this time." Billy said.

"What!" Dewey said.

"That doesn't make sense. Why hadn't the killer attacked you guys when he found out?" Det. Kincaid asked.

"William and Scott." Sidney said to them.

"Who are they?" Det. Kincaid asked.

"Our sons." Billy said. "Shortly after Sidney were married, we got pregnant and our twin sons were born. The killer said he wasn't a child killer but would make orphans of our sons." Det. Kincaid frowned slightly. It was bad enough that the woman he's been fantasizing about is married but she's been impregnated as well. Once things for sure, he'd definitely crushin on Sidney. Tatum was a looker to.

"Shit!" Dewey said. He knew that Billy and Sidney were parents. They sent him a picture of the boys when they were babies.

"Are William and Scott safe?" Gale asked. She knew about the babies. It was Sidney who sent her picture as well.

"Yes." Sidney said.

"Sidney, do you have any idea how he could've gotten your number?" Dewey asked.

"He could've monitored the calls on a scanner. Did you call her from the set?" Det. Kincaid said.

"No." Dewey said to him.

"I suspect that the killer has had our number for awhile and was waiting for the right time to contact us. He was letting us know that he's aware of our location. It's why we left." Billy said.

"I agree. This is not a coincidence." Mickey said.

"He still could've called using someone's cell. Do you have her number stored in your memory?" Gale asked. Dewey scrunches his forehead, thinking] "Phone memory!" Gale said. Tatum chuckled.

"Oh. Yeah, I guess I do." Dewey said.

"Has anyone else every used your phone?" Gale asks.

"Just Jennifer and you." Dewey said to Det. Kincaid.

"Hey, I'm the cop here. You're in my office, Riley." Det. Kincaid said firmly.

Mickey and Sidney stared at the photos of Maureen Prescott. Gale, Tatum and Billy take notice.

"The killer leaves a photograph after each murder. So far four pictures." Det. Kincaid said. The first was found on Cotton's body. The second coming next to Sarah Darling's body. The third photo from Roger Corman and the last one Mr. Riley found last night."

"She looks very familiar." Mickey said.

"She's Sidney's mother." Tatum said.

"I know but I've seen her someplace. I can't put my finger on it. Wait she was an actress." Mickey said.

"Was she an actress Sid. Those pictures look like publicity stills." Gale asked.

"I don't know." Sidney said.

"I do." Mickey said. "I knew I saw her someplace. She was an actress in several horror movies." Mickey said. "She had small parts but she was definitely an actress."

"Why didn't you tell me? Dewey this is my mother. Why didn't you say something?"

"I was afraid they were bait, something to trick you out of hiding." Dewey said.

"Detective, I wanna see this place in the pictures." Sidney said.

"Are you sure?" Det. Kincaid asked.

"Absolutely." Sidney said.

"Baby, are you certain you wanna go to the studio?" Billy asked her.

"Yeah, I mean this sounds like a bad idea." Tatum said.

"I'm sure. I want to see this place up close." Sidney said.

"Ok." Billy said.

"Shall we." Det. Kincaid said as all eight adults made their way out of the precinct.
