"YOU'RE SUCH a strange human being, Boone. I can't believe Chad actually believes you're gay." Abby's voice chuckled, Boone and herself were walking around campus the morning after.
Boone chuckled, "What can I say? I'm a great actor." Abby rolled her eyes jokingly, "Yeah, yeah. Why are you pretending to be gay, again?" As they walked, Boone slightly stiffened, though she didn't notice.
"Uh, it's just- well I'm just being cautious. You know, people on this campus can be crazy, so I just wanted to be a little different, I wanted to hide away. Didn't work, obviously." He explained, his voice unsure and hesitant.
Abby nodded, looking at him weirdly before shrugging it off. The two of them continued to walk around, it was early in the morning, and since most of the campus had left because of the serial killer, it was quite empty and quiet.
With nobody around, Boone brushed his hand against Abby's before grasping it. She looked at him and smiled, squeezing his hand as they walked. They enjoyed each other's company in silence, before a voice rang through.
"Abby! Boone!" The two of them looked around, confused. "Did you hear that?" Abby asked, Boone nodded, looking around before widening his eyes, pointing in the direction of the voice, "Uh, I think I figured it out."
Abby looked in the direction of his hand, her eyes widening at the sight. There Pete was, hanging off a pillar by his jeans, a note pinned to his shirt that read MYOB.
She gasped, rushing towards him, Boone following close behind. "Oh, my god. Pete! What the hell happened?" Pete looked at her embarrassed. "Uh, well, you see. I was looking through Dean Munsch office for any clues, and just as I found something, the Red Devil knocked me out. I woke up here merely a few minutes ago."
She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion, "The Red Devil did this? Holy shit." She looked at Boone, who was staring at Pete with an unreadable expression. Pete chuckled with a sigh, "Could you guys, uh- help me please?"
Abby came back to reality and nodded, "Right. Boone, help." Boone snapped out of his trance, moving to the other side of Pete. The two of them gently unhooked the jeans and helped Pete down.
Abby rubbed his shoulder in comfort, "You all good?" Pete looked at her and nodded, "Yeah, I'm just sore. My head hurts like hell." She nodded in understanding, bending down and picking up his fallen notebook and pen.
Boone ripped off the piece of paper pinned to Pete and examined it, "MYOB? Mind your own business?" Pete nodded as Abby handed him his things, "Yeah. The Red Devil knows I'm onto them, so they stopped me before I could read into it any further."
"What did you find, exactly?" Abby questioned, standing in front of Pete with Boone beside her, his arms crossed. Pete opened his notebook up, handing it to her.
