As Alex checked the body all he found was the same hand mark Clay had on his throat nothing else. Alex couldn't let this case go, this was someone he cared about. All these people he once knew are dying because of Darryl and walks free because of Alex's own incompetence. Alex vividly remembers the day he got that call about sapnap's disappearance. The anxiety he felt, the restless nights working till he dropped to find out what happened only for the case to be closed.

Even with it being closed he tries everyday to find away to reopen it. Yet no matter what the Cheif says otherwise and has grown more annoyed by Alex's attempts. Because of how hard Alex works to simply give all of his friends justice Karl has grown very concerned about his wellbeing. Alex kept looking around but more frantic and frustrated. 'There has to be something ANYTHING!' Alex kept thinking over and over and officer had to intervene by the way he was acting out. Alex wasn't having it, how much longer till justice is served?

Alex had to take a break to recollect himself and face the reality that there nothing he can do for George. George's case was cold and that was that, unless he's able to connect the dots. But even then that'll take awhile assuming they're connected. Alex continued his investigation on Clay at the place of his murder. The only possible explanation Alex could think of was that George saw Clay get attacked, tried to call 911 but had to run for it. George ran quite far and he tried to call again that's when the killer caught up.

Dream has many haters as well as controversies yet has a massive following on all social media platforms. The possibilities on why are endless, and as to who would do this is equivalent to looking for a needle in a haystack... or is it? 'Is it possible that this was done by Darryl? No, he's in California. This happened in Florida. So it had to be someone else but who?' Alex thought of what he'd seen so far and what he knows at the moment.

The Chief arrives on scene "How goes the investigation Alex?" Alex was a little hesitant to speak but spoke regardless "All I can find is a handprint on his neck exactly like the one on Clay's neck. The only possible connection is that George saw the killer attack Clay, tried to escape only to have been caught by said killer but coincidentally pocket dialed me."  "He pocket dialed you?" The Chief asked. Alex nodded "Alright be sure to document all of this." The Chief instructed, believing that was all Alex turns "Now I ask your progress on Floris case. How's that going?" The Chief asked.

"I have a suspect I'd like to bring into questioning." Alex answered. The Chief was pleased on what he heard "Very well, keep up the good work." Alex at this moment felt hopeful. Maybe he can catch him lying again and get him locked up in jail. Alex then had an idea, a risky idea but if it works out he can give his dead friends their justice and prevent another friend from dying. As for letting the public know about this tragedy...knowing how popular Dream was and knowing his fanbase. It was ultimately decided to keep these two murders out of the public eye for as long as possible.

"WHAT?!" Zak cried out "I KNOW RIGHT?!" Darryl responded feeling the same amount of shock and energy as Zak felt. "Did he hurt you?" Zak asked "No, it seemed like he was just standing there, it was dark out." Darryl explained. Darryl tried to answer many of Zak's questions about the mysterious stalker. "You want me to hop on a plane right to get to you cause I literally can." Zak offered. "No no we're gonna meet in a week it'd be pointless." Darryl politely declined, Darryl still needs more time to prepare to not only meet his friend, have ideas for IRL content, but to also confess his love.

It's a lot of pressure and maybe Darryl can use this week to truly prepare himself. "I-I don't know if I told you this but I never met an on-online friend before." Darryl admitted, leaving Zak surprised. He never knew but now that he thinks about it. It made sense "Darryl, I had no idea. Why didn't you tell me any sooner?" Zak asked. "I thought you wouldn't care because of the amount of times I canceled on you." Zak felt horrible for what he was hearing. "I'm so sorry, I...I've just been wanting to meet you so bad no pun intended."

Darryl chuckled at Skeppy's attempt to lighten the mood "I do too! I just get so stressed and anxious about it. What if I somehow mess up? What if make a fool out of myself? What if.... I lose you?". "Darryl you really think that?" Zak asked to which Darryl responded with "Yeah" "Darryl how can you lose me? I don't know how to say this but you're stuck with me." Zak promised Darryl. In that moment Darryl's face turned red and his breath was taken away. "Z-Zak." was all Darryl could say "Were in this together forever." Zak said softly and what seemed like romantically.

Darryl looks at the time on his phone "Oh gosh it's 3am already?" Darryl lost track of time due to what had happened. "Does this mean you have to go now?" Zak whined "I mean I don't have to leave the call. We can another sleepover on call." Darryl offered. "Yeah!" Zak sounded very happy about the idea, they switched to FaceTime. "I just realized." Zak suddenly said "What?" Darryl yawned his eyes were getting quite heavy. "This might be the last sleepover call for a while." Zak was right cause he is going to see him in person in one week.

"Oh yeah...that's true" Darryl was trying to fight to stay up just a little longer, Zak could tell by looking at him through his phone. "Goodnight Darryl." Zak said followed by a faint sound. 'Wait what was tha-' Darryl couldn't finish his thought, he finally crashed. Zak does the same shortly after, it was all peaceful everything was fine until Zak had been woken up by a discord call. He takes a look at who's calling, it was Quackity 'Of course it's him'  Zak ignores the call and goes back to sleep.

Zak suddenly had an urge to wake up, he stretches, takes a look at the time '10am already?' Zak thought. He then looks at his tablet which he used for FaceTiming Darryl. To his surprise Darryl was still asleep 'He must've tried himself out after what happened.' Zak decides to hop on his computer to record another trolling video. Before he could do so he gets another discord call from Quackity, he declines, Quackity messages him.

'Fine' Zak calls Alex on discord. "Lemme guess you're going to interrogate me over the phone?" Zak ask rhetorically. "I'm sure you're annoyed but-" "Annoyed? Yeah I'm pretty annoyed, I thought you weren't gonna bother me anymore?!" Zak wasn't fond of Alex. Why? Maybe it's because of the amount of times Alex would steal Darryl away from him. Zak may not act like he doesn't care or act a certain way for views but deep down it truly does affect him. "I'm sorry for the misinformation, something came up and as much as I would like to tell you I can't give you any details. All I can do is ask you questions and determine if you're innocent." Alex explained

"Is this even legal?" Zak asked "What do you mean?" Alex asked Zak's question. "You calling me to interrogate me, aren't I supposed to go in person?" Zak was calling out Alex. "How about we just get started with the questions?" Alex obviously not answering Zak. "How about I get my lawyers involved, I have the money, a lot more than you can ever know." Zak said in a cocky tone. 'Shit' Alex knew he wasn't bluffing, in fact he had this same issue with last time. Zak does real estate outside of YouTube and Twitch. It wasn't easy to convince him last time, but maybe this time it will.

"N-no that's not necessary, if you don't want to answer these questions that's fine. I can just send someone to arrest Darryl." Alex throws bait at Zak. "What?" Zak was suddenly confused yet concerned. "You and Bad are very close and Darryl isn't as wholesome as you think." Alex turns on his camera, pulls out his notebook containing his notes on Darryl, his victims, and evidence. "This notebook contains everything we need to know about him and what he's done. And now that I think about it we don't need to ask you anything, we know he's guilty." Alex says as he flips through the pages. Zak's heart begins to race 'What is he talking about? What did Darryl do?'

"Sorry to bother you, I'll let you go no-" "WAIT" Zak cries out "Yes?" Alex asks politely "I...What are you talking about? Arresting Darryl for what? What did he do?" Zak asks frantically. Alex couldn't help but smirk, his plan was working. "Answer my questions, do as I say and I'll tell you what I know."
