Skeppy

15

Darryl is editing a video for his channel with his fur baby Lucy in his lap. As he edits he thinks more about his plan. Skeppy comes to his house then he gets Alex concerned when Zak goes off the grid Alex comes to arrest him and that's when he goes for the kill. 'There's no way that plan will work at all' Darryl admits. Zak and Darryl have been talking more about what to do when they meet up. Zak wants to do irl streams, and irl videos. The fans have been wanting this meetup to happen, it's only fair to announce they've met up in person.

So much for trying to keep Zak away from the internet. Darryl also pitched in other things they can do in private, like hiking, bowling, gaming, and going out to eat. As much as possible to keep him off the internet yet this won't do. As Darryl works he gets a notification from Karl, they've been talking on a regular basis. Karl talks about what he knows about the cases of Floris and Nick. Karl has been told not to talk about the cases to anyone especially to Darryl. But Bad's a sweetheart, he'd never do this! No, must've been framed.

Karl: hey what's going on?

Bad: not much wbu? 0w0

Karl: I'm doing alright, I actually got an invitation to this content creator party and thought of you, interested in going?

Bad: idk I have a booked schedule this week and the next ómò

Karl: it's ok there's always next time!

Bad: I suppose

Bad: btw how's that investigation going?

Karl: as far as I'm aware the number used to contact Floris was a fake number, they couldn't get any fingerprints from the throwing knife but did ask the company about who there regulars are

Bad: have they found a clue there?

Karl: no, doesn't help they haven't seen this killer at all or when this killer bought said throwing knife

Karl: and Alex still thinks it's you

Bad: why?

Karl: because apparently you know about this knife, you were the last to message Nick, and Fundy's crime was close to your house

Bad: is it just him who believes this?

Karl: he never said tbh

'So I might have more people who suspect me' Darryl took note. This wasn't good at all, he's possibly drawing attention to himself. If he were to kill off Alex or Clay anytime soon he'd only draw more and more attention. As much as he would love to kill them he can't do anything, he'll have to lay low.

Bad: ah I see

Karl: yeah

The conversation had died right then and there. Darryl continues to work and edit his video, Lucy suddenly runs to the door to his front door and barks. Darryl wasn't concerned, rat always barked at the door whether it was the mailman, squirrel, deer, etc. it was almost never really a threat. Bad gets up and opens the door for Lucy to do her thing. It was a good thing he taught her to not go too far out. He continued to edit, 'Just a few more tweaks and it should be done' once Darryl finished that thought he heard his fur child bark more in the distance but more menacingly.

Darryl decides to get up to fetch Lucy. Once outside Lucy wasn't far at all yet was standing her ground firm. "Come on Lucy." Darryl attempts to get her attention but nothing. Lucy was still standing there snarling, Darryl knew there was all sorts of wildlife in the forest nearby his house, he wasn't sure what it could be. "Lucy wanna treat?!" Darryl pretends to make a fist full or treats but even that didn't work. "Lucy come on gi-" a sound of a twig snapping in half was heard from a distance not to far from his house. Darryl was frozen in sudden shock, as he stared in the dark abyss he heard footsteps running away.

Darryl knew that wasn't a deer, or bear, or any woodland creature. Whoever they were, they had intentions and he had to get Lucy now. He swiftly scoops her up, runs inside, locks all doors and windows, and closes his blinds. Just then Quackity calls, 'I don't have time for this!' Darryl ignores his call but Alex insists through his spam calling. Darryl annoyed and afraid of what just happened he answers "I don't have time for your bullshit!" alarmed yet mad Alex responds "Oh but you have time to kill all our friends?!"

"How many times do I have to tell you I didn't do it!"

"You can't! No matter what we both know it was you!"

"I had someone stalk me for fuck sake!"

Alex wasn't buying it "Oh yeah like I'd believe you."
Darryl wasn't fond of Quackity especially now but that genuinely hurt him "I'm serious! I just found out, rat kept barking and I heard someone running away from my house" Bad explained. Alex always relied on his gut and his gut was telling him for once Darryl was innocent. "How do you know it wasn't an animal?" Asked Alex "I live near a forest remember? I'm able to memorize what an animal's footsteps sound like compared to a human's footsteps."

"Have you ever dealt with this before?" Alex said while writing down the conversation "No! At least as far as I'm aware..." Darryl was questioning himself at this point. He just noticed that individual and for he knows they could've been stalking him for a very long time. But who would do so and why? "Do you have any idea who could do this?" Alex asks "No." Darryl responds, there was a small yet thick silence. Darryl was still uncomfortable about this he wanted to cry but not to Quackity.

"Darryl, I'd suggest you to install cameras around your house as soon as possible." Alex said "Yeah I will, anyways I should get going." As much as Alex would love to stop Darryl he didn't. He had work to do. Alex enters the home that belonged to people he once knew. As he explored nothing looked wrong or out of place. That's when he looked inside the bedroom, the crime scene he studied the layout of the scene. A rope tied into a noose hanging from a ceiling fan. Said fan was also in the center of said room, the bed in a right corner of the room and next to the door, this individual also had what looked like a streaming set up across from the door, and above the setup was a half opened window.

On the desk lays what appears to be a note from the victim before he died. Alex takes a look at the note then looks around for any other hand written notes to compare. He finds a notebook that contains handwritten notes about Java as well as YouTube Algorithm. He glances the room once more only to find the bed sheets happened to be wrinkled as if someone was laying on top of sheets. However it looked like it was previously wrinkle free like someone made it.

Alex took the note as well as the notebook to continue further with the investigation. Now all he has to do is take a look at the body. He steps out side to find the first responders along with the body bag. "Hey my names Alex and I'm a detective sent here to investigate." Alex shows the two men his badge and continues. "I was hoping to look at the body of my friend." The two first responders gave him permission to look at Clay's body.

Alex looked closely at Clay's neck and noticed there were no burn marks from the rope. There was a mark in a shape of a hand as if Clay was strangled to death. The hand print seemed to belong to someone who was left-handed. He continues his search yet nothing really notable except his pocket from the jeans he wore. The jeans only contained a flash drive, Alex decides to hold onto this flash drive. 'Maybe George would know?' Alex thought him, Clay, and Nick were all close, they would never kill each other. He pauses to reflect on what he's seen so far.

The half opened window, the rope tied onto the fan, the bed that was made but now has wrinkles as of someone laid on there, the hand mark on Clays neck, and the flash drive. Alex decides to give George a call to ask him for his side of the story since he was the one who called. Alex didn't have to wait long, George answered quickly he never does that. All Quackity heard was what sounded like the struggle to breathe like.... choking. He dashes to the officers that remained and warned them about what he's hearing on the phone. The officers listened to the choking trying to get any answer but all they heard was "Zgr.....ze" they found the location where the phone call took place but when they arrived it was too late.
