(A/N) Just to let ya'll know, there's another death scene in this part, meaning gory descriptions. You might not really care, but if anyone doesn't like hearing about how guts are poured out, skip the last scene.

Riley house:

The American flag rises along with the sun as a new day surfaces Woodsboro, and last night wasn't exactly a peaceful one.  A day after Casey's body was found, the killer struck again, attacking Sidney Prescott. Even worse, the wrong person was jailed for the crime, and the killer mocked Sidney and the police for it.

Teens walk, roller-skate, or take the bus to school. Having been spared the visit from 'Father Death.' Meanwhile, Sidney and the Riley's have breakfast while the news on TV discusses, guess what? Sidney's good ole sad life.

"Sidney Prescott, who escaped a vicious attack last night, is the daughter of Maureen Prescott. Who was brutally killed last year, when convicted murderer Cotton Weary broke into their home and savagely raped and tortured the deceased."

Yeah, real good way to start the day, isn't it? Tatum, noticing Sidney's expression, puts her hand comfortingly on her shoulder.  "Cotten Weary is currently waiting appeal for the death sentence handed down after the young Sidney testified against him." 

Testified, now that's ironic. Once again, she had to testify to the police, which landed Billy in cuffs. On the television, Cotten Weary looks into whatever camera that's broadcasting. Giving it a glare all too similar to the one Billy gave. "She was the key witness in the state's case against the-"

Dewey turns the TV off, knowing that it's probably gonna bring the mood down even further, especially what he has to tell Sidney. "It's never gonna stop, is it?" Sidney bitterly jokes, putting on a smile.

 "Billy was released." Dewey tells Sidney, the look on the deputy's face tells everything before he can say it out loud. "Cellular bill was clean, he didn't make those calls."

"We're checking every cellular account in the county. Any calls made to you, or Casey Becker are being crossed-referenced." He lets her know. "We are also double checking Y/N's testimony since..." Dewey pauses and Sidney looks at him surprised. 

"Y/N's a suspect?" Sidney asks surprised. Dewey awkwardly looks away.  "But why? He wasn't anywhere near-"

"It's just detective work Sid." Dewey defends, trying to be understanding of her reaction. "He's broken the law many times before. And his aunt has been telling us that he's been coming home later than usual." 

Sidney doesn't say anything else after that, not willing to argue suspects. "It's gonna take some time, but we'll find him." Dewey promises. Tatum adds with another comforting, playful punch. 

"You're gonna be okay..."

Woodsboro High School:

Dewey drives Tatum and Sidney to school, the atmosphere is somewhat the same as yesterday thought the students continue to be teens, using it as a mask of apathy to hide the fear that they might be next.

The deputy opens the door for them and notices Sidney taking a slower step out. "Don't worry Sid it's school, you'll be safe here." He confidently assures her.  

Sadly, the one thing she's not safe from is reporters that like to almost shove microphones directly into your mouth, which Dewey has to keep back, allowing Sidney to pass. "Hey, leave her alone. She just wants to get an education!"
