PSYCHOPATHS [+18] SCREAM

Chapter 14

Amara's POV

NEXT DAY

Tatum rapidly knocks on the hotel room door, I open it, and she almost knocks me over in a tight hug, "I'm so sorry about your dad,"

I give her a controlled smile telling her I'm fine. "I'm gonna find out who did this,"

Tatum shakes her head not liking the idea, "You should just leave the city," I look over at the sleeping twins before looking back at Tatum,

"I tried to leave, I did but something is holding me here," I tell her slowly trying to see if that made sense to her.

"I've been having visions of my aunt Maya and Maureen Prescott, at first I just thought they were visions but now I'm starting to think they're her memories."

"Why would you be seeing her memories?"

"I'm not sure," I answer just before my phone rings, I have an instinct to ignore it but I'm too invested in why the hell Gale Weather's would be calling me.

"What could you possibly want?!" I answer the phone in frustration.

"Jennifer and I just did some digging in the studio archives, your aunt and Maureen we're horror movie actresses for John Milton," she tells me ignoring my dislike for her.

"John Milton, knew my aunt?"

"Yes, Reyna Renolds and Ruby Rebel, it was their stage names,"

"Where are you right now?" I ask her, deciding I want to talk to John Milton myself, why wouldn't he tell the police that he knew Maureen or my aunt, that explains why he kept looking at me weirdly when we first met.

"The studio,"

"I'm on my way, do not talk to John without me," I tell her as I grab my jacket to put on, Tatum grabs my arm whispering, "Are you sure you wanna go? We should figure out what's happening to you first,"

"I'm fine, just watch the twins, I'll be back, "She looks like she wants to argue but accepts my decision.

When I arrive at the studio, Randy, Jennifer, Gale, and Dewey are waiting for me. Dewey and Randy pull me into a hug surprising me.

"I'm sorry about your dad," Randy says giving me a sympathetic look, I nod letting them lead me toward John Milton's office, we barge in as Milton's talking to Roman, who seems extremely frustrated about the movie being shut down.

"Rina Renolds, Ruby Rebel," Gale says, to Milton who hesitates looking at me and then back to her.

"Who's Rina Renolds and Ruby Rebel?" he asks confused, Milton pulls on his arm, "Why don't you head home and tell them not to cut the cake without me.

My eyes widen, "Fuck it is your birthday,"

"Oh god, Happy Birthday Roman," Jennifer says happily as Roman nods in appreciation, "Thanks, best birthday ever," he says sarcastically, he goes to leave but stops by my side, "You'll be there right?"

"Sure Roman, Happy Birthday," I tell him, he places a small gentle kiss on my cheek, before pushing a piece of my hair behind my ear, "Thanks, I'm sorry about your dad," I nod not saying anything as I watch him leave.

"I guess he was clear from questioning," Randy says annoyed, he still watches him leave suspicion in his eyes, it wasn't until he left that we all turned our attention back to Milton.

"So you knew Sydney's mom and Amara's aunt?" Dewey accuses.

"Who?" He plays dumb. "Hungreds, thousands of actresses have worked for me," he adds
