Tate had her head laying on Tara's chest on the couch, they were scrolling for something to watch and landed on a news cast.

"Wait dude stop, that's our college.. " Tate stopped Chad from changing the screen.

"Shit, I'm gonna brag Sam!" Chad jumped up and yelled down the stairs.

She ran in panicked, "what's happening?", a reporter was telling the story on a brutal murder down the street of campus.

"Their names have just been released, Jason Carvey and-", "holy shit, that's the dude from out film studies class, the one obsessed with Stab."

Tate got up from year and stood up, "and they had the fucking costumes!" She yelled, referring to the reporter.
"Goddammit."

Tate paced, she stood next to Chad, "pack a bag we leave in ten!" Sam was fast to act.
"Sam wait!" Tara followed her sister into the kitchen.

"Thank you very much suspicious new guy but I think we have it from here, goodnight get home safe!" Chad pushed cute guy out, "I second that, we will contact you at a another time now get the fuck out!"

Tate locked the door with all three locks.
Sam was grabbing a knife.
"No wait let's talk about this!"
Tara was attempting to explain.
"This might have nothing to do with us!"

"Really?", "new York is a huge city! It's Halloween everyone's wearing a mask!"
"You knew him!" Sam argued back, still holding the biggest knife in the apartment.

"Barely!", "Chad, Mindy help me out here!"
"I mean... It is a bit close to home" Mindy said.
"See?" Sam said in a matter of fact tone.

"Yeah Tara it's a bit creepy, he was in my criminology class, he asked the weirdest questions... "
Tate received a elbow I'm the ribs from her girlfriend for agreeing with Sam.
"Ow! Babe I'm just saying."

"Wait Quinn! Your dads a cop right? Can you call him and asked what's going on?" Tara asked, "before you make the decision to cut off my college education and flee the fucking state!"

Quinn pulled her phone out and put it to her ear, "I'm called him now"

As soon as she said that Smash phone rang loudly in the tense apartment, Tate let a small yelp out.
"Jesus! Why do you keep your ringer on?" Sam ignored her and picked the phone up.

"Who is it?"
Tate looked over Sam's shoulder.
"Is that my mom's name?", "she gave it to me last year.. "

"Why did everyone get freaked when the phone went off?" Ethan, the oblivious kid asked, "dude, catch up" Anika the icon responded.

"Sam, my dad wants to talk to you."

Sam took the red heads phone, "Mr Bailey, hi" judging on her face it wasn't a good call.

"Umm, he wants me to come to the station."
She handed the phone back to Quinn and grabbed her black jacket, "I'll be back, lock the doors!"

She left, "wow, we couldn't even day anything" Tate rolled her eyes, "it's her process, leave us behind and be a baddass" Mindy joked, "dude, she just told us to be safe and left, alone"

Tara grabbed her own pink jacket, "I'm not leaving her this time, I'm following her!" Tate walked over, "hey babe think this through, I don't want to visit you in the hospital again ok?"

"Relax" Tara kissed Tatum, "I'll be ok, you should probably call your mom anyway, she might be worried."

And the Tara left, "wow, my own girlfriend left me" Tate dramatically fell back onto the couch.

Chad looked down on her and laughed, "bro we just heard some kids died and your being a drama queen?"

"Oke you can't say anything mr Chad, and two my therapist says I use humerus as a coping mechanism, boom! Make fun of that dick!"

Chad hit her face with his palm. And strolled off to lock the windows.

"She's right, you should call you mom Tate" Mindy mentioned, "yeah, I'll do that now actually."

She wandered off to Tara's room.

"Tate! Your ok thank god, Sam didn't pick up the phone."
"Yeah she was dealing with Tara... "

Gale calmed down, "you ok Tate? I know this might be a bit triggering."
"Yeah mom don't worry, what about you are you safe?"

Her mom chuckled, "I have a gun and years experience, there's no ghost face I can't fight off."

Tate laughed, "mom I gotta go, but call me if you get any updates."

"Will do, love you kid", "love you two mom..."

Tate hang up and rejoined her friends, she knew Sam was upset at Gale because she wrote a book she said she wouldn't, and sure it was adioc move, but her biography about Dewey Riley was a best seller.

In the morning they were brought to the police station, "hey Bailey."

Tate was in a room, waited for questions from the detective.
"Hello ms Riley"

Bailey sat down, "I'm gonna ask you a few questions, how does that sound?"

"I know them all, or most of them, my dad was a police captin I know the game."

Bailey pressed on, "where were you last night?", Tatum sighed, "around ten thirty I was at a party, the time before at my dorm with my friend and after also with friends."

"Can they confirm this?" She huffed her breath, "I know my rights you have no evidence against me, why are you even questioning me?"

"Well you father was... Killed last year and grief can sometimes make people do crazy things."

Tate was no just plain frustrated, "that is the exact reason I won't kill anyone, I know the pain and damage it causes!"

Bailey looked at the clock and sighed, "I'm not getting anything out of you am i?", "there's nothing to get in the first place."

That was true, she had no idea about what was happening, but if she did she could lie, she was an excellent liar.

Her mom taught her little tricks to get information if she needed it but she got good.

"May I leave" she asked, "sure, but you friends Sam and Tara still need further questioning so you can wait in the lobby, and don't leave town!"

He said sternly, "got it Mr boss man" she raised her arms in defense, she took a seat in the lobby impatiently, looking at the ceiling until she saw a familiar blonde in the conference room.
