Run: Legacy

Run VIII: Dedicated Investigation

"Ro, I think it's happening again," July said and Roman nodded. "Of course, it happens now, right now there are millions of rumors that I'm the one behind it, I have two reporters stalking me, waiting for me to break, and none of this is stacking in my favor, God I hate New York," Roman said and July placed a hand on his shoulder. "They just want a slice of your fame, you're a survivor, they aren't, and they just want to break you, but you're durable, and it didn't work, and it won't work now," July said and Roman smiled. "The difference is that now, I have multiple people conspiring directly against me," Roman said and Zack smiled. "Well, they can't follow you everywhere, we can always get them away from crime scenes and you can file a stalking report," Zack said and Roman shrugged. "I get why I can be suspicious to the people who don't know me. I am related to the one who started it all and I'm seemingly always there when the killers die and I'm never injured drastically by them," Roman said and the other two shook their heads. "They just don't know you as we do, we need to meet with Cory and Zoriana and talk about what the hell is going on," Zack said and Roman nodded.

"Okay so, what're your alibis?" Zoriana asked Yui, Brasha, Miles, and Robert. "We were working at our IHOP down my Riversway," Yui said and Brasha nodded. "Okay, I'll see about that," Cory said and Miles smiled. "I was at Cory's house watching a movie we rented," Miles said and Zoriana looked toward him. "He's telling the truth," Cory said and Zoriana nodded. "I was working with my patients to help their mental issues," Robert said and Zoriana nodded. "Okay ill check that out," Zoriana said as the trio approached them. "Hey," Roman said and Zoriana smiled. "Hey," she said as they exchanged a hug. "Hey guys," he said to the rest and they smiled and nodded. "You questioned them?" Roman asked and she nodded. "Check out the IHOP by Riversway, we can also check by Robert's office," Cory said and the other three nodded.

"Okay, so, we can start the investigation and try to figure out who the hell this is," July said and they nodded. "I'll go with Roman to investigate the scene of Gabby's death, you can decide on how you're going to separate to investigate the rest," July said and they nodded. "Well, I can go with Robert and Miles to check out the scene at the IHOP, Yui, and Brasha can check out the office," Cory said and they nodded. "Okay, stay safe, see you in a bit," July said to them and they nodded. "Me and Zack will check in with you all every once in a while to see if you're safe," Zoriana said and they nodded and separated.

"Hey, FBI, we wanna see the crime scene," she said to Ms. Lordson. "Uhm, okay, do I need to get my kids out?" She asked and July looked at Roman as he nodded. "That might be the best idea, take them someplace safe," July said and she nodded, letting them in and grabbing her keys. She got the kids and left the house.

"I'm surprised they let them stay, considering this is a crime scene," July said and Roman shrugged. "Zack probably let them back in, they wouldn't strike here again right?" Roman asked and July nodded. "Probably not," she said when her phone began to ring. "Don't answer," Roman said as she looked at the name. "Oh it's just Michael," she said as she answered the phone. "Hey," she said as she answered the phone. "This isn't who you think it is," the voice said and she squinted. "Can we get to the part where you attempt to kill us and we escape?" July said and the voice snickered. "See there's been a change of plans, right now I'm looking at your little friends Zoriana and Zack, and they're about to die unless you can answer all of my questions correctly," the killer said as she exhaled. "Fine, shoot," she said and the killer snickered. "Name all of the killers of the past massacres," the killer said and she rolled her eyes. "Don, Zoe, Julian, Leo, Lila, Zayn, Georgina, Malik, Adam, Rira, Dorian, Lorianne, Marlin, and..." she said as she looked toward Roman. "Wayne," he said and she smiled. "And Wayne," she said and the killer snickered. "That was pretty easy, now, the survivors of each," the killer said as she exhaled.

"I survived the first one alongside Zack, Abby, and Damien," she said and the killer gave her a sign of approval. "The second one had Damien, Zack, Roman, Nathan, Julian, and me," she said and the killer gave her another sign of approval. "Uhhhh for the third one, it was Zack, Roman, Marlene, Ed, and Me," she said and the killer gave her another sign of approval. "For the fourth, it was Roman, Tyler, Zack, Ed, Liam, and Me," she said and the killer gave her another sign. "Good job," the killer said and she rolled her eyes. "For the fifth, it was Roman, Zack, Zoriana, Cory, and me," she said and the killer gave her approval. "Okay for the sixth, it was Roman, Zack, Cory, Zoriana, Lorianne, Marlin, and Me," she said and the killer gave her approval. "You dumb son of a bitch. For the seventh, it was me, Roman, Zack, Zoriana, Cory, and Miles," she said and the killer snickered. "Wrong, it was also Grant," the killer said as they hung up the phone. "We have to go!" July yelled and Roman nodded.
