"How good are they?" Alex asks "There pretty good." Darryl answers "Like the grip feels amazing, the knife itself is sturdy and so sharp-" Darryl stops himself. If he continued he would've gotten caught. "So Sharp what?" Alex was waiting for Darryl to finish.

"It's just sharp." Darryl answered "Ahh I see." Alex said taking notes. 'That's it? Am I really gonna get away with this one?' Darryl thought. He was really lucky with Nick, it seems like he was gonna get lucky this time too. "Such a shame what happened to Fundy." Alex spoke "He got framed pretty bad." Alex added. "What?" Darryl asked. What's Alex talking about there's no way he could know that! "All those "leaked dms" are all photoshopped." Alex explained. "What makes you so sure?" Darryl asked "It's pretty obvious they literally cropped Fundy's user name and profile picture over the actual user and they did pretty poorly." Alex looks at his camera to look at Darryl. "Is there something I should know?" Darryl was caught off guard by this question.

"You look a bit anxious, why?" Alex asked calmly. "N-nothing!" Darryl said "Then where were you when Fundy went missing?" Alex asked. 'Oh no' does he suspect him yet?

"At home"

"What we're you doing?"

"Editing a video"

"Bullshit I know you too well"

"But I was!"

"Oh really why don't you tell me what you were working on exactly?"

"It's a surprise!"

"If you don't tell me it's gonna look bad on you"

"Like I said it's a surprise for everyone!"

"If you're so innocent with this murder then tell me about Sapnap"

He knows. "What about him" Darryl asked "You know damn well. He disappeared and you were the last person to talk to him!" Alex snaps. Alex loved Nick and so did Karl. Even though Alex was sure that Darryl was the last person to see Sapnap however he couldn't do anything. There was no evidence that anyone else was there. All Alex has is the dms between Nick and Darryl. Besides the Cheif closed Nicks investigation.

"Why did you do it?" Alex asked holding himself back from lashing out. "I'm telling you I didn't do anything." Darryl avoids the question. "You're gonna play it that way huh?" Alex asked already knowing the answer. Alex continues "I know how well you know about knives. I just so happen to find this throwing knife at the scene of Fundy's crime. You were able to tell me what company made this in a blink of an eye and you just so happen to live in California close to the scene of the crime." Darryl's hands shake, his mind starts to race.

'He's on to me'
'He's on to me'
'He's on to me'
'He's on to me'
'He's on to me'
'He's on to me'
'Kill him!'
'Kill him now'

Darryl takes a deep breath in and out, he needs to say something or Alex could put him in prison. "It does look bad on me." Darryl admits "I can assure you that it wasn't me, I know the knife company well I have some of their knives. I'm not the only person who owns their throwing knives." Darryl takes a stand for himself. "But that doesn't explain why the crime scene is so close to where you live!" Alex points out. "A crime scene can happen anywhere. I wasn't expecting A crime scene to be near my house. It was a coincidence! It's not my fault that I just so happen to live near by a forest." Darryl explains. Alex was quiet, looking at the knife. Thinking. Sure it can happen anywhere anytime, and can happen to anyone. However, Alex has seen proof that Nick has most likely died and that Darryl was on his way to meet him.

Sure there was another suspect but that one was cleared. If Darryl really killed Nick and Floris... Why? What's his motive? What made him do this? What's the connection?

Connection? They're both Content Creators, They're all friends with each other. 'He has to have a motive, but what? Aren't we all friends? Who do this?' Alex finally spoke "I don't have much to come to a conclusion that you're behind this. But I can't help but feel deep down you are behind this. I don't know how but I will find out." Darryl stayed quiet "I don't trust you Darryl but I don't want any drama. I'll still collaborate with you on streams and I'll be nice to you around others but that's it." Alex finished "I understand." was all Darryl said. Their FaceTime call soon ends Darryl yells in frustration. "THAT BASTARD!!" Darryl grabs a pillow and screams into it.

Darryl can't let this happen, he's gonna meet Zak in person for the first time. He can't let anyone get in the way. Darryl can't be too surprised though, he had thought that Alex would suspect him after he made a mistake with Sapnap's murder. Which is why he made a risky plan. Darryl brings Zak to him, Darryl makes sure Zak stays offline long enough for someone to notice, knowing Alex, he's gonna investigate this "disappearance" he'll come to Darryl's house and Darryl takes care of the little detective duck, and Darryl confesses his love to Zak. What's risky about this idea is everything.

How is anyone gonna notice Zak's "disappearance?"

How is Darryl gonna keep him away from the internet for so long?

Alex isn't gonna investigate alone so how is Darryl gonna get Alex alone?

What if Zak rejects Darryl?

'I've already come this far I can't back out now.' Darryl needs to plan this through.

"So you mean to tell me that Bad killed Fundy and Sapnap?" Karl asked "I have a feeling it's him, I just don't know how he can be connected." Alex says reviewing evidence he has on Darryl. "Bad doesn't seem like the type to hurt anyone." Karl knows how nice he is. He could never hurt anyone."It's just all a coincidence that Darryl wanted to meet up with Sapnap and he disappears. Fundy was murdered in a forest that just so happens to be close to his house." Alex explains. "Ok but don't many killers use the forest to hide bodies?" Karl asks "Not always." Alex answers as he becomes more focused on catching the killer of Floris aka Fundy.

If it really was Darryl how did he get Floris in the forest in the first place? What made him go? Was it possible that he was forced to go? But how?

Alexis doesn't really know Floris, but he knows who does know him. "Karl, I gotta get going I have a few people I need to ask about Fundy." Alex says before ending the call "Wait before you go. How's Nicks investigation going?" Karl asked hoping progress was made. Karl was never told that the police stopped investigating Nicks disappearance. In fact the public was never told that the investigation was closed. Alexis doesn't know how to tell him. He can't hide it forever he must know. "The police closed his investigation because there was no other leads." Alex hated what he had said Karl didn't speak. His eyes water up "But Nick was...." He covers his mouth and tears ran down his face. Alex fought back from crying, he clenches his fists 'Darryl I know you did this and I will find out how.'

"Karl I promise you I'll get Da-" "Darryl's not that kind of person!" Karl exclaims "I get it. You want to find Nick but you can't just accuse him! He's our friend!" Karl cries. Karl was in pain, he was never going to see or hear from Nick ever again. Alex felt his pain as well, he and the police failed Nick. Alex, Karl, and Nick were all close. Alex can't let this monster get away with this. He was determined to bring justice to Floris, to Nick. Karl hangs up, he needs space. Alex goes on discord, scrolls to find Wilbur

"Hey Wilbur!" Alex calls out "Quackity hey!" Wilbur responds "Hey uhh I gotta ask you something's about Floris... if you're able to." "Oh-ah y-yeah I can tell you what I know- wait why do you have to ask me about Floris?" Wilbur suddenly asked. 'Shit' "Wilbur you can't tell anyone about this but I'm a detective investigating Floris' case." Alex only really told Karl, Nick, and unfortunately Darryl. "I thought you wanted to be a lawyer?" Wilbur asked "Lets not get side tracked, what do you know about Floris?" Alex pulls out a notepad and pen to write down what Wilbur has to say

"I'd say Floris was very hardworking with his content when motivated. His family didn't really support him at the start. As soon as he was getting more and more fans his family eventually started to support him which made him have mixed feelings about them. It didn't help that he became more stressed trying to appease his audience and the algorithm. It's taken a toll on his mental health and he'd sometimes be rude but doesn't mean to and would apologize." Wilbur sighed remembering his friend that worked too hard, his friend that just need a break, his friend that was taken so soon
