Hello I'm back after taking a week off for the holidays now let's get this started back up.
The following day Linda was in her Western Civilization class taking her test. Despite studying hard for it she was having trouble focusing on it due to the fact of the incident with slender last night.
"You've got 30 minutes left to finish." Dr. Myers said out loud to the class. Linda looked down at her paper to notice she was only about a third done with her exam. She had to pick up the pace if she was going to finish and get a good grade. She decided she would temporarily block Slender out of her mind and try to finish up this exam but before she could do much suddenly the door of the class room burst open and two cops stormed in.
"What is the meaning of this? We are in the middle of an exam." Myers demanded.
"Sir we expect one of your students could be involved in some murders." One officer said. Linda just looked up from her paper in fear when she heard that.
"Who?" Myers asked that's when the other officer walked over to Linda's desk and grabbed her by the arms and started putting her in handcuffs.
"Linda Adams you are wanted for questioning in the death of Erin Neal, and Officer Nate Duncan." The whole class and Professor Myers just stared in shock as Linda was being led in handcuffs.
"This is a mistake; Erin was my friend I had nothing to do with this." Linda said.
"We have reason to suspect otherwise now get moving he said.
Meanwhile in the Chemistry lab on the other side of campus Evan and Natalie was working on a project when some officers came in and arrested them as well. The same thing happened with Ann and Nicholas. Manny was in a Bar drinking trying to get his mind off of all the craziness that was going on when some officers came in and talked him to the floor.
"Manny Damon you are wanted in the questioning in the deaths of some of your friends."
"Are you fucking crazy?" Manny yelled out. "I didn't have shit to do with those murders!"
"Whatever, now get up." They yelled as they raised him up to his feet.
"I'm going to fucking sue you're asses when this is all over you hear me?" Manny yelled.
"Look at me big boy I'm terrified now move!" The officer said then they led him outside to the police car and put him in the backseat then the car sped off to the police station.
When they all arrived at the police station they were each placed I different interrogation rooms to be questioned by the police Sheriff Fargo walked in to the room where Linda was being held.
"Ms. Adams?" he asked walking in.
"Why did you bring me here? Why are you doing this?" She asked
"Relax we just want to ask you what you know about the murders of your friends."
"My friends have already told you everything there is to know. Slender killed them; we had nothing to do with this."
"Now Ms. Adams you seem like a smart young lady so let me make this very simple for you." Fargo said "We have the rest of your friends here also being interrogated. We know one of you guys killed my officer and you're other friends and I am pretty damn sure you know who the real killer is so if you are not the killer and have nothing to hide then just give me the name and no charges will be filed against you."
Linda just looked at Fargo straight in the eye. "I told you it was Slender." She said
In one of the other rooms Manny was being questioned and one of the officers came looking at a file book.
"According to our record book Mr. Damon it appears that you have spent some time in Juvenile hall and prison before."
"So I got a record." Manny said "That don't mean I killed anybody."
"You're record includes DWI, sexual assault, shoplifting, and possession of illegal drugs."
"Petty stuff man." Manny said most of that stuff I barely spent any time for. And the stuff that I did spend time for I already done my time for. That don't mean I killed those people. I've already did time for stuff I did do. I'm sure as hell not going to jail for stuff I didn't do. Not going to happen."
Meanwhile in another room Ann was being interrogated.
"Ms. Novak according to some background check you have a violent pass."
"What the hell does that supposed to mean?" Ann asked
"Well these murders that has happened have been some of the most violent we have ever seen." The officer said.
"Look that violent pass that you are talking about was self-defense." Ann said. "My father was an abusive man, he use to beat me as well as my little sister and brother, one day he lunged at me and I fought back and he fell slammed his head on the glass table. The investigation proved it was self-defense and no charges were filed. You have nothing on me."
Meanwhile with Nicholas the officers was getting straight to the question.
"Who killed those people?" The officer asked
"I've told you it was Slender!" Nicholas said
"Slender does not exist." The officer said
"Yes he does!" Nicholas yelled back. "He has killed my friends, he has killed your officer he is responsible for every damn thing that has happened!"
In another room with Natalie the officer was trying the good cop routine and was trying to be understanding but Natalie was not taking any of it.
"My family can sue you guys for this!" Natalie snapped. "My parents are rich they will hire the best lawyer money can buy and they will sue your asses off for this."
"Look Ms. Ellis no need to treat me like the enemy, I'm trying to be the good guy hear."
"Really now?" Natalie smarted off. "You could of fooled me."
"Now Ms. Ellis." The officer said "I understand that these people are your friends, and I understand that you don't want to rat them out because they are your friends, but you've got to realize the truth that one of them is a murderer. And that person also killed your other friends. Please I know it is hard and I know that you might be scared but please, for the sake of your friends who got killed and for the lives of your other friends give me the name of the person. I know you know something. I can offer you protection just give us the name."
Natalie looked up from the ground and said. "I've told you a thousand times it's slender man."
In the other room with Natalie's boyfriend Evan The cop was also trying to use the good cop formula and was trying a different angle.
"Look Evan I know what you might be going through."
"You have no idea what I'm going through." Evan said
"Yes I do. I was young and in love one time just like you, until I found out that the girl I was in love with was wanted for a string of armed robberies."
"Where are you going with this?" Evan asked starting to get upset.
"Evan buddy listen. I think I know why you are afraid to say who really killed those people. Because it may be your girlfriend Natalie. But please don't let love blind you if it is her you've got to do the right thing.
HOW DARE YOU!" Evan just exploded jumping from his seat. SHE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS!"
"Then who did?" The officer asked.
"Slender!" Evan said then the officer walked out the door and walked up to Fargo.
"He's giving the same answer as the rest of them sir." He said. "I wish there was something that we could use against him."
"Maybe we do." Fargo said Detective Vega found said that his Girlfriend said that he owns guns.
"Guns?"
"Yes lots of them."
"Thanks a lot Sherriff I'll take it from here." Then the Officer stormed back into the holding room and walked up to Evan.
"You didn't say anything about owning any weapons." He said
"What are you talking about?" Evan asked
"We have proof that you own guns. Want to clarify on that?"
"Yes!" Evan said "I grew up in the country before I went to college. I use to go out hunting with my dad all the time. Deer, ducks, whatever the hell was in season we hunted it. You think that just because I own guns that I am a killer? You're fucking nuts." Then the officer walked out and met with the other cops in the building to discuss the case.
"What are we going to do with these kids? They all tell the same story about a ten feet tall monster known as Slender man. What if they really are telling the truth?
"No they are covering for someone and I am convinced that that someone or some ones is in our custody." Fargo said
"Well there is two people I don't believe it is." Another cop said. "Linda or Nicholas, I did some background check on both of them. None have criminal records none of them have a history of violence. Linda's father is a catholic priest. I highly doubt she could commit a crime like this. And Nicholas comes from a well-respected family in England. His dad's a lawyer and his family is friends with the Queen."
"So what about the remaining four?" Fargo asked.
"That's the thing I think the remaining four could all be working together. Have you seen how graphic these crimes were? There is no way one person could do this without help. I think those four are working together somehow."
"I see" Fargo said "Well then it's settled then." Then he called the remaining survivors together.
"Linda Adams and Nicholas Sullen are free to go."
"Really?" Nicholas said amazed.
"What about the rest of us?" Ann said
"For the rest of you" Fargo said "You are hereby being placed under arrest with five counts of murder and will be taken to the county jail tomorrow to face charges."
"Are you kidding me?! Evan screamed "We didn't do anything."
"No." Linda gasped as her friends were being led to jail cells in cuffs.
Outside the station at a far distance however Slender was watching the events unfold and he was waiting and watching to plan his next move.
