Chapter XVI : Investigation and Reunion

Mutters, bantering, and a light of sun hits your sleeping form, shining your eyes to make you stir up to your sleep.

As you open your eyes slowly, you were greeted by Sam, Kirby, Tara's back at the end of your bed. Grunting to yourself to sit. Which caught Tara's and the squad's attention.

"You're awake babe, how's your sleep?" She asked, a bit concerned that you didn't sleep that well.

"I'm doing great babe, a little sore because of the wounds I have but I'm doing good." I said holding her hand as I give it a gentle squeeze.

"I think we need your help with the investigation Y/n." Kirby let out as they looked at you "I'll answer anything you want to ask, I won't be letting myself sit here and do nothing." I said.

"Okay, I understand you Y/n but have you noticed any weird things from the previous attacks from the apartment and Gale's penthouse?" Sam asked.

I nodded "I did notice some few things." I answered, you looked around and didn't see Ethan.

"Where's Ethan this time?" I asked a little suspicious that he's isn't here. Chad answered "When we woke up he isn't here, maybe he went outside to eat or to get some things."

I nodded, trying to clarify my point. "So, I was saying, I think there might be two or three Ghostface all along," I confessed. They all looked at me like I was crazy, but I continued with my explanation.

Sam looked at you in the eyes and said "That's impossible Y/n." She said, but you just shrugged your shoulder.

"Let me ask you guys, when did Ghostface ever use a shotgun to kill their target by using one hand on the trigger with no support at all? I mean, from all the Ghostface killers we've encountered, they only used a lightweight gun, like a pistol and just knife. I noticed that when Sam, Tara, and I were attacked in the bodega."

"Nancy Loomis, Billy Loomis, Stu Macher, Mickey Altier – come on, Kirby, you know this; you and Mindy were fans of horror movies," I added, hoping they would understand my point. "And you couldn't get to shoot someone with one hand without support if you're not a police or a pro you also know this Kirby."

Sam furrowed her brows, thinking it over. "You're right. I don't remember any Ghostface using a shotgun like that in the previous attacks but the three Ghostfaces? I don't think it's true."

Kirby chimed in, "Yeah, and the fact that the ghostface you encountered in the penthouse is a little faster."

Chad raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "So you're suggesting that there might be multiple Ghostface working together?"

I nodded, "Exactly. It would explain the inconsistencies we've noticed in their techniques and physical abilities. If there are multiple Ghostface, it means they can coordinate and cover for each other, making it harder for us to track them down."

Tara looked concerned but determined. "So, how do we find out for sure if there are multiple Ghostface?"

Mindy spoke up, "Maybe we can cross-reference the attacks and see if there are any patterns or similarities. If we can pinpoint the differences in their methods, it might give us a clue about their identities."

Sam added, "We should also look into any connections between the victims or their families. There might be a motive or a grudge driving these attacks."

Kirby nodded, fishing out her phone. "And I can use my connections to gather information about potential suspects in the Woodsboro, including Richie's family."

Chad looked serious, "We have to be careful, though. If there are multiple Ghostface, they might be more dangerous and unpredictable." He let out as he leaned on the couch.
