Framed.

Thatcher waited..And waited until a car pulled up.

"Fuckin finally.."

Sarah got out of the car and walked up to the blonde.

"Jeez, kid. What took you so-..Hey- Hey what's the matter?"

Sarah was still crying..Thatcher was surprised she could even drive all the way over here.

She was completely silent.

"Hey..Cmere."

Thatcher opened his arms, and to which Sarah fell right into them.

They hugged each other until Sarah started to break her silence, sobbing.

They let go of each other after a while.

"You ready to tell me what's going on?"

"..It's-..About Mark..I-I don't know where he went! We all went to the store and left him home and..Now he's just..Gone." Sarah wiped her eyes.

"Don't panic, Sarah..We can work on this case together. He'll be back home in no time, promise."

"..I-.."

Thatcher smiled at Sarah, a nice reassuring one.

"Okay.."

Cesar came back downstairs the next day. Mark slept quietly on the couch, not even snoring like he use to..

..Without anything to do, Cesar went out. Obviously putting on a mask and hoodie.

He went to the store, just to roam around. Maybe steal..Then, he saw..

"Amanda?" He said under his breath.

Amanda was one of Adams close friends, they played games together.

Cesar gripped the box cutter and went over to her.

"Amand-"

"Don't speak to me."

Cesar looked..Confused.

"Don't act like you don't know what's going on. I know what you did, Cesar."

The ravenettes blood went cold, he stared.

"It's best you leave me alone. I'm not ending up like the rest of the people you and your father have killed."

"Amanda, I have no idea what your talking about."

Amanda turned around and pushed Cesar.

"Don't act stupid, damnit! You know what I'm talking about so don't act like you don't."

"Seriously, I-"

Amanda struck Cesars face quickly. Groaning, and quickly walking away.

Cesar stood there in disbelief. Honestly a little pissed off.

So, he followed her.

He walked right out the store with her, making sure he was keeping a good distance away from her at all times.

Amanda seemed to know what was going on and walked a little faster, panicking.

"AH!"

Pushed into an alley way, she fell on the floor, facing Cesar who had a box cutter.

"W-What the hell!?"

"It's a shame, Sarah..It really is. Maybe if you weren't so stubborn I might've spared you such a gruesome death, but now, you're going to die slowly and painfully. Isn't that just amazing?"

Amanda pulled out her pocket knife.

"S-Stay back! I'm not going to let you kill me!" Amanda said, visibly shaking.

"What's the matter? Scared?"

Without warning, Cesar lunged at Amanda..

Only being caught by her digging the knife into his chest.

He coughed, confused.

He dropped his box cutter, hearing it hit the ground sent a shock wave through his body.

"I-..Fucking hate you, Torres!"

The pain made him weaker..So, he only had one idea in mind, one that'll work.

"Help! Help me! I'm being attacked!"

Cesar seemed content at seeing Sarah getting pinned down, and someone calling the police on her and now him.

After a while, the police finally showed up and put her in handcuffs.

"NO- NO! YOU'VE GOT THE WRONG PERSON—"

They had already pushed her into the car. He heard her bang on the windows..And then the car drove off.

Who knew it was that easy?
