"I think I have an idea on how to turn the tables on this creep," Detective Bailey says while walking towards us, Gale and Sam tailing behind him. "We're in," Gale says. "Sorry, Gale, no pres allowed," Kirby says as Gale rolls her eyes. "It's police business; I'm good at my job." Kirby continues as Gale stares in disbelief. "I'm sorry, Gale, but she's right," Detective Bailey says, and Gale walks away.

I step forward and ask, "So, what's this plan you thought of, Detective?"

We're now in a park; Sam and Tara are out in the park waiting for Ghostface to call with Detective Bailey as backup, while the rest of us are in a van with Kirby on the computer. "Are we really doing that phone tracing thing that never works in movies?" Mindy asks Kirby. "Oh, keep them talking, Sam; just 2 more minutes and we've got them, then they hang up," Mindy says sarcastically as Kirby, Chad, Ethan, and I stare at her.

Kirby smirks before saying, "I can trace a call in under 15 minutes." Mindy just raises her brows. "Well, you got them as bait," Mindy says. "That is because the killer always calls somewhere nearby," Kirby says as a matter of fact.

"And you think it's safe just because it's broad daylight in a public space?" Mindy says as she leans forward and eyes Kirby. "Look, me and Detective Bailey are here," Kirby says, looking back at Mindy.

"This is exactly how our uncle Randy died," Mindy says, squinting her eyes. "In broad daylight, in a public space, yanked into a van. Stab. Stab. Stab. No more Randy!" Mindy raises her voice, making all of us widen our eyes and stare at her.

Suddenly, I hear a crunching sound, and I turn to see a bag of chips in front of me. "Want some?" Ethan asks as he puts the bag of chips closer to my face. I just stared at him, then slightly nodded and took a chip. "Thanks," I say, dusting the crumps off my hand.

"Hey Sam, stay frosty out there," I hear Kirby say into my ear as I continue taking chips from Ethan. We couldn't hear what was happening over the earphones, so we just sat there for a while. "Yeah, the GO location is coming through right now," Kirby says.

I notice Kirby's face scrunching up in confusion as she says the location. "He's on the upper west side in a public building, halfway across the city," Kirby says as a small gasp escapes my lips. Sam or Tara says something to Kirby via earphone. "How did you know that?" Kirby asks. "Gale," I say with concern in my voice.

All of us were now in the hospital lobby, sitting down. Gale had just been attacked by Ghostface, but she managed to survive; she was just in critical condition. "Hey, I got here as fast as I could," Danny says as he runs towards us. "Did you really?" Tara says suspiciously and glares at him.

"I'm scared, guys; I really don't want to get hurt again," Mindy says. "Yeah, I don't want to get traumatized." Again," I say as I lean onto Ethan's shoulder. That's when I noticed something in Ethan's bag that was lying on his lap.

There was something shiny. A black coat and something else. Uh oh, I gulp thinking of too many scenarios right now. He can't be Ghostface. Ethan cannot be Ghostface. I calmed myself down and sat up nervously.

Ethan noticed my nervous look and leaned a bit closer to me. "Hey, are you alright?" He asks, and my heart starts to beat faster. "Yeah, I'm just worried about what's going to happen now." I try to convince him that nothing is wrong. He grabs my hand gently and looks at me with a hint of sadness. "Lauren, just know that I really do care about you. No matter what happens, I lov-" Ethan gets interrupted.
