It was the morning after Ike had found the items Eddie had been hiding under his bed spring, having slept soundly with his boyfriend against his chest, he was calm and happy.. yet didn't know on that day, he would be caught and prosecuted for the murders he had committed, just to keep his Ikey safe for many years to come.
Eddie was the last to wake up around the time of 11:25am, seeing his arms were empty and his mattress had been shifted in his sleep which equalled to him getting up and checking under it.. and his heart sank when he saw the shoebox was gone, and when he looked in his closet, he saw that the costume was gone too. "Fuck.. fuck fuck fuck!! I'm gonna get done for, I'm dead meat!" He whisper-yelled to himself, pacing back and forth in his dirty room.
Ike had already left as their shoes weren't by his door nor was his bag, which panicked Edward more than he was. He knew he was done for, as Hopper was most likely on his way to the trailer park, to talk with him.

Soon enough, after two and a half hours of refusing arrest and some mild beatings, Edward Munson had been restrained and taken to Hawkins PD for heavy questioning, which Hopper knew would be hard to drag out of a Munson.
Hopper just glared at Eddie, examining his body language and facial expressions for any sign of insanity or lack of remorse. "So, Edward.. can you tell me and my partner why you committed all 18 of those murders? And were you planning to murder my son."
Eddie looked at Hopper in complete disbelief, and a look of hurt as well. "I would never hurt Ike! What would make you think I'd hurt Ike!? I committed those murders just so me and Ike would feel fucking safe in this shitty town!"

For another two hours, there was a back and forth argument between Hopper and Eddie, which soon led to the Munson being tased and placed into a custody holding cell, which was cold, dark and damp, and was left there till it was time for the court hearing, and he was transported via police truck from Hawkins PD, to Hawkins County Court where he was held in another cell before being taken out to the prosecutor table where he was sat next to his lawyer, as he saw his uncle in the crowd behind.. and saw his biological father sitting in the jury lineup.
During the court hearings, Eddie's head was lowered, his chocolate brown hair covering his face before he was called up to the stand to where his head flung up and nodded to the judge, moving himself from his seat and onto the stand, where he gave his truth.
"The reason I had committed these murders, officers and Mrs judge, is all because I wanted myself and Isaac to be safe.. so we could live our lives without being harassed all because we're transgender freaks, all 18 of my victims deserved death for tormenting us and beating us every fucking day!!" Edward preached, tears beginning to stream down his face while he soon was moved off of the stand and back to the table with his lawyer, jerking his wrists around once or twice to try and break the painfully tight cuffs, yet there was no way he could.

After three hours of the court hearing, Edward Anthony Francis Munson had been called guilty of 18 counts of non-justified murder, and was sentenced to death row, and he weeped through the rest of the hearing. Eddie's shaky hands covering his bruised face, tears pouring down his cheeks like a waterfall. Death Row.. something that he would have to endure until the day of his execution.

Location: Hawkins County Jail

Without delay, Eddie had now been moved Hawkins County Jail and into the Death Row sector, the darkest parts of that jail, where he was only allowed two to four visitors for two hours a day, and a 1 hour phone call close to lights out. It felt like the beginning of hell for Edward, so because of that.. he stayed in his cell for days on end, only until it was lunchtime, dinnertime or visitation, he was always slightly excited for visitation since he got to see his uncle and sometimes Ike, yet knew he wouldn't be seen the same anymore.
Visitation started on the same date that Eddie had just been incarcerated, being taken down to the visitation hall and released of his cuffs while he waited at the tables for his visitors to where he saw Dustin, Wayne, Gareth and Ike. Eddie tried his best to smile at them all, yet his face was still pretty bruised so he managed to smile just a bit before it ceased. "Hey.. Dustin, Gareth.. Ike.. and hey uncle.." the young man whispered, his head one again being tilted down like how it was in court, but felt a hand lift his chin a bit in the process of it. "H-Huh..? Ike what are you doing..?"

Ike held Eddie's cheek, tears beginning to beam in his eyes while he just stared into the other male's amber brown eyes. "I don't wanna say goodbye.. not to you.. not again.."
Eddie silently  stared into Ike's, the sudden feeling of guilt hitting him which equalled to him bursting into tears. "I-I'm sorry.. I'm sorry for everything.. what I said during the hearing was t-true.. it was to protect you..! All of you..!" He said through sobs, looking at Wayne and Dustin as well as Ike, the regret of even doing what he did now sparking up.. because he knew that soon in a couple days of the next month, he would be executed.

Event: The Execution of Edward A.F Munson

It was the day of Edward Munson's execution, the type of capital punishment he was selected for was electric chair, the most documented painful way of execution.
He was first given his final meal, which was of course Yahoo and Honeycomb, a favourite of his even when he knew that he was close to Death's door by 2,500 volts of electricity sparking through his body.

Event: The Execution of Edward A.F Munson

The time of his execution hit at the middle of noon, the one who was in charge of clipping Eddie into the chair was one officer that knew him since he was only 16 and committed his first petty crime, seeing the guilt in the officer's eyes just hurt him.
The chamber holding the device sat silent, only the slight sobs being heard from behind the almost soundproof glass from close family, friends, and his heartbroken lover.. who was sobbing his heart out trying to scratch through the window, staring at Eddie with the most heartbroken eyes.
Edward stared at Ike with the same heartbroken look, before looking to the one who was about to pull the switch. "Please.. don't kill me.. please!!" He begged, as he began to struggle and writhe under the restraints. "Please Ike.. it's w-worse than the fucking bats!! Please make them stop this! I wont kill anyone, I promise! I swear I did it for you! Please! Issac please I need you!! Kas can only do so much..!" He screamed, that was something that was never heard from a Munson's mouth before, as the switch was pulled.. but he survived the first blow, and he managed to break two of the restraints and pulled himself out of the chair and ran towards the window. "IKE!!" He cried once more, before a gunshot rang through the chamber and Eddie slid down with a gunshot wound to the chest.. a blood splatter being on the window and the wall, Hopper had put an end to the only living child of the Munsons.

Eddie laid on the ground, blood pooling beneath him while he gasped for air.. he was scared what was to come, he didn't want to die, he didn't want to leave yet, but sadly the bullet had hit a vital organ.. and he was held by his love while his body became weaker overtime. "I-Ike.. I'm n-not gonna r-run away again.. I'm n-not..!" He yelled with his croaky voice, blood slowly making its way up his throat as he spat it up onto the floor, while he weakly cupped Ike's cheek. "D-Don't cry for me.. p-please.. I hate s-seeing you cry.."
Ike just held Eddie for as long as he was conscious, though he was still in shock and disbelief that the man he was engaged to was the GhostStalker of Hawkins.. it still hurt to see him slowly dying from his fatal wound.

The air inside of the chamber turned thick with the smell of iron, the body of Edward A.F Munson now limp in the arms of his fiancé, it took him up to an hour to pass away from his wound and his severe bleeding.
Wayne was sat by Ike, trying his absolute to comfort him while sobbing himself.. it was the second time he had found out his nephew had passed away, and now.. it may be permanent. "Ike.. I'm so sorry.." the old man said, placing a hand onto the young man's shoulder.
Ike was still sobbing, letting out a primal screech of pure heartbreak. His own FATHER killed Eddie, all because he was trying to get to him, begging for help.. begging for mercy, yet that went unheard of, and he was only seen as an injured horse for the slaughter.
