"Oh my goodness!" Sookie exclaimed loudly, and Gabriela turned towards her Protected with shocked eyes. "She's... She's actually-"

"Help! Someone, please!" Gabriela then began to yell as she moved closer to Dawn's body. Dawn was laying on her back, her head turned to their side as her pale face stared at them "Sweetie. What did you get yourself into?"

Gabriela then pulled the sheet over Dawn's face with teary eyes as they heard someone dropping a vase. Turning around, they saw Jason staring at Dawn's body with wide and dull eyes.

"Oh, my God," Sookie then rushed to her brother and hugged him. "Oh, my God."

"It's okay," Jason whispered painfully.

"Like hell it is!" Sookie then raged as she beat on Jason with her open hands "Look at her! She is definitely not okay!"

"Sook, bangin' on Jason ain't gonna change anything," Gabriela pulled Sookie away from Jason and gave him a sad look.

"Dawn? I heard yelling," a voice called out from outside the bedroom. Gabriela wiped her tears quickly and looked back at the body of Dawn, trying to remain strong.

Another dead victim of a female that Jason was connected to. Gabriela wasn't a detective but that wasn't a good case for Jason.

Faye Lebvre, Dawn's neighbor then entered the room as she looked at the three devastated people before noticing Dawn's body in bed.

"Sweet Lord in heaven. No." She made the Sign of the Cross on herself, walked to Dawn's bed and looked at the body. "What did you do?" she turned to Jason angrily.

Gabriela breathed in as she saw Jason's conflicted look. It felt as if he himself seemed unsure whether he did it or not. "Me?" he then asked as Gabriela turned back to the neighbor to see her angry look.

"We found her, Miss Lebvre," Sookie explained softly.

"I saw you last night, Jason Stackhouse. I heard ya'll fightin', then she took a shot at you, and you ran off. And now she's dead!"

"Jason?" Sookie turned to her brother in shock and he sighed deeply.

"Yeah. We had a fight. But I came here to apologize," he exclaimed as he held up a small bouquet of flowers.

"She fired a gun at you, and you come back to apologize?" Gabriela asked him incredulously as if it was too shocking to her.

"Why were you fighting in the first place?" Sookie asked in confusion.

All the questions seemed to overwhelm Jason as he finally snapped "Listen... I didn't do this! You gotta believe me."

"Well, I'm calling the police," Miss Lebvre then left the room in a hurry as Jason sneered.

"Well, call 'em!" Jason shouted and threw the bouquet across the room "I had nothing to do with this."

The second murder of a woman in Bon Temps was starting to look like it was a serial killer doing it.
