Killer Lovin

Episode 5

Brock poured ingredient after ingredient into the bowl, his eyes darting to Rick.

"Eggs!" Rick handed Brock a carton of eggs. Brock tossed five of them into the bowl, stirring the bowl rapidly before dumping them into a pan.

"BACON!" Rick handed Brock a pack of bacon, his eyes focused on the crepe batter he had been stirring for 12 minutes. He hadn't slept for 7 days. How could he? after what he saw last week. He still remembered that conversation, looking Jackson in his eyes as the truth unfolded.

"I'm not really here as a contestant. I mean I am but I'm not here for a relationship." Gordon would gasp dramatically, Rick wouldn't really react after all so far most of the people on the show didn't seem to be there for romantic reasons. Except him, and Brock, and maybe gordon. Jackson continued making sure Rick and Gordon were the only ones there.

"I'm trying to find my ex." Rick looked at Jackson baffled. Out of all the things Jackson was about to say, that was the last. Gordon looked to Beverly who stood outside with Noah.
"Wait, Beverly's not-"

"OH NO oh GOD NO." Jackson asserted, shaking his head. Rick peered at Marcus' body unable to remove his eyes from the awful scene. Jackson continued.

"don't get me wrong, she's a nice woman and I'm sure one of you will be very happy with her. It's just, she went missing a while back and I think the crew on this show may have something to do with it." Realization came across Rick's face.

"Shelly, the late night tv show host? don't tell me she-" Jackson nodded.

"So you DID know about her? She's my Ex, my kid misses her mom. If I can't find her, I want to find out who and what the sicko responsible did to her."

"What does that have to do with the show," Gordon asked Jackson, looking outside his eyes focused on Noah the smiling man laughed at something Beverly said.

"I've been trying to get in contact with her work to try to find out if they knew anything. This was the only way I could get in contact with her boss." Rick peered at Marcus' body sitting cut open in Jackson's room. Rick pointed to the body trying to avoid the sight. Gordon looked away, keeping himself from vomiting as he sat himself on the floor. Jackson went back in his room motioning the two to follow. Gordon looked at Rick as he motioned him into.

"You go, I have mild hemophobia. You already have a DEAD body, you don't need an unconscious one too." Rick sighed as he followed Jackson into the room, Gordon giving him a thumbs up. The smell of Marcus decaying body hit Rick nose making him feel nauseous. Jackson covered the body before taking a small vial with a strand of Marcus' hair. Rick looked around, he didn't know how but Jackson managed to turn his room into a homemade forensics lab. Jackson handed the vile to Rick.

"Rick what does that look like to you?" Rick looked at the vile with hair inside of it.

"It looks like a vile with hair inside of it." Jackson shook his head with a serious expression on his face.

"wrong, it's LSD." Rick looked at the vile again confused. He didn't know much about LSD but he was pretty sure it wasn't human hair. Jackson sighed as he looked through Marcus' jacket.

"Marcus fell off a cliff right, well I thought the story behind it sounded a little too fishy so I took the liberty of checking to see if there were any traces of alcohol or any other drugs in his system."
