Chapter Twenty

It's Party Time

Feeling a bit dizzy, Tatum's eyes flutter open. Her blond hair is a bit messy from her earlier encounter with Ghost Face. She shut her eyes letting tears fall as she grieves over the death of her husband Mickey. He gave himself up to save her. She vowed that she'd make the killer whoever this person was would pay for taking her husband from her.

She opened her eyes again looking down at her predicaments. She was tired to a chair to keep her from escaping, and her mouth is covered to keep her from screaming. Who is doing this? Who? Tatum's mind raced. She thought back to the information she learned about Maureen Prescott. Was it John Milton who was doing this? Roger Corman is dead so it can't be him. Who else could it be?

"Think Tatum." Tatum told her self. "Maybe it's the child Maureen bore. Who could this child be?" She didn't know. All she knew was that she had to somehow get free of the ropes. She struggled a bit but it was too tight. She turns her head to the left and see her phone vibrating. It's Billy trying to reach her. Sidney has also been trying to reach her to. She angrily shook in her chair trying to loosen the ropes to no avail. To the right of her sits a knife. "If I could just get to it." She thought to herself. Tatum stood up taking the chair with her and turned it to face the left side while her hand tries grabbing the knife on the table behind her. She clutches at it but can't quite get it. She won't give up. She has to make them pay.

Sometime has passed and there is no sign of Sidney at all. Gale and Dewey are getting worried. They look around to see if Sidney is around but she isn't. Both are getting impatient.

"Any sign of her?" Dewey asked.

"No! This is so strange!" Gale said.

"Sure is." Dewey said looking around.

"Dewey, do you have caller ID on your cell phone?" Gale asked.

"Yeah." Dewey said.

"Use it and press send." Gale told him. If she's right, they can track down the last person who called him. Her hunch told her that it wasn't Sidney who called but the killer.

He does, a phone rings in the room. "What the hell?" Gale said. They open a closet and find a cell phone, Ghostface mask, and voice changer. Gale gasps and picks up the voice changer. "What is this thing?" She asks holding it up to her mouth and says in Dewey's voice. "Is this what he-Oh! Dewey, he's…" In Roman's voice. "got our voices!"

"He's got Sid!" Dewey said.

"He's got us all! Oh my God, we've gotta find them!" Gale told him. Dewey nods.

"All right, take the gun! Go find Roman and Jennifer, I'm gonna get the others." Dewey told her. Gale nods.

"Be careful!" Gale said to him. Both go off in opposite directions.

Meanwhile, Det. Wallace is driving his car back to the precinct. Billy is with him. He's angry about loosing his closest friend. Det. Wallace could see this.

"I'm sorry about Mickey." Det. Wallace said showing a soft side.

"Thanks." Billy said dryly.

"I think you should call Sidney and tell her about Mickey." Det. Wallace told him.

"I don't think that's a good idea. Sidney's overwhelmed and scared as it is." Billy said.

"She's was Mickey's friend to and has a right to know. So call her and tell her." Det. Wallace told him.

"Fine." Billy said sighing. He dialed Sidney's phone

Sidney sees her phone ringing and answers it.

"Hello." Sidney said.

"Baby it's me." Billy said.

"Hey." Sidney said smiling.

"Uh, babe I have to tell you something." Billy said fighting back tears.

"What's wrong?" Sidney asked. Billy sighed heavily. Sidney heard this and wondered what was wrong. "Billy, honey what's the matter? You sound sad."

"Mickey's dead." Billy said. Billy sobbed lightly. Det. Wallace frowned.

"Oh god!" Sidney said. Then it her, where was Tatum. "Billy, where's Tatum?" Sidney asked worried.

"I don't know. She's missing. I tried calling her phone and it goes straight to voicemail. Sid I'm worried."

"Me to. I'm gonna try and find her." Sidney said she's about to get up from Kincaid's desk.

"No. Don't move. You stay right there!" Billy said.

"Billy." Sidney said.

"No Sidney don't move. Mickey's dead and Tatum is missing. The last thing I need is for you to go missing to. So please stay put. For me." Billy told his wife.

"Ok." Sidney said sitting back down. She knew Billy was trying to protect her.

"I'm on my way back to the precinct and I we'll search for her together ok?" Billy told her.

"Ok. I'll see you soon." Sidney said.

"I love you." Billy said.

"I love you to" Sidney said as they both hung up their phones.
