||Hello Neighbour: A Better Timeline||

||Chapter 127: Who Did It||

"Yeah. . . Not looking as I did years ago; Sunglasses gone, hair dirty and sleepless nights; How've been Keith."
Keith approached with caution,"Could be better; I'll cut to the chase, I know about Crowface and I know Valeria, Leslie, Leonard and Gerda were also Cultists.", Gale nods, not looking surprised,"Ah, you figured it out. . . Must mean they failed; And Crowface.", "At large, I'm doing what I can to find out who Crowface is and that brings me to you.", Gale shrugged,"Heh. . . You've come to the wring person; I may have been Tavish and Gordon's partner, but I don't know shit about Crowface or their identity, or. . . Whatever it is.", Gale leaned back,"Crowface. . . We had to constantly check it, make sure it continued to obey with electrical therapy, sometimes Gordon beat the shit out of it; But Crowface got the job done.", Keith frowned, maybe that's why Crowface was killing them off now, now that they're all vulnerable and hold no power over them anymore.
"I ain't got nothing on Crowface, if you wanna find out; Ask Leslie or Valeria, they'd crack, especially Leslie when he's gotten a few drinks in him."
"I can't; Valeria and Leslie are both dead.",
The room went quiet.
"As is Mayor Tavish and Gordon; All killed by Crowface, seems like they're cutting off loose ends and had enough."
Gale stared at Keith.
"Most likely, Crowface is ready to cut you off next as one of the last threads, but given the circumstances; You're going to have extra security, cause I'm going to need you for questioning.", Keith turned to leave, Gale sat up more,"Wait. How did they die? Valeria and Leslie??", Keith paused.
. . .
"Crowface rigged the school boiler to blow up, had Valeria tied her office and burned her alive."
"Leslie died suffocation, had his head slammed in repeatedly but. . ."
"I don't know anything about Tavish, that's not my case and Gordon's being looked into as well."
Keith shook his head, taking a moment outside to collect himself.
Leaving Gale to think.

Keith stood there a moment, to process and think of his next steps.
"GORDON DID THIS, HE'S THE REASON WE'RE ALL DEAD AND THOSE 4 BRATS!!!"
Keith jumping, turning back to see a nurse and guard entering the room.
"THEY GOT THEM KILLED, US KILLED; WE SHOULDN'T HAVE---"
"Restrain him, he could hurt himself or others."
Another cop approached,"See what I meant? But that was probably the worst.", though Keith went right back inside, he wasn't planning to leave without know what that what about.

The nurse stood up, the guard keeping a hold on Gale as he looked around wildy before staring at Keith, out of breath from struggling and being held by the guard.
"I ain't making another trip here, Gale; What connection did you just make."
"They got us killed. . . Murdered. . . And I'm next. . . All because they thought it would he funny to go up that Weather Station!"
Keith paused.
"Are you. . . Talking about what happened to Mr Peterson's brother and what they did to him, yeah; I read about it and Mr Peterson told me, Gerda confessed to it to."
"It's Robert."
. . .
"Excuse-"
Gale leaned forward, closer to him as the guard restrained him,"Those 4 pissed off the one that would know and go this far, that man was a psycho!", "You're trying to tell me, Robert Peterson, a man that's been dead for over 30 years. . . Is Crowface.", Gale glared,"You don't understand; There is a side to that man only a few people saw like Gordon, upper lip and unlike Theodore, he'd plot revenge and make those 4 never know what peace is and wish he'd have killed them sooner!", the room was silent.

Leaving the room as Gale was taken away, Keith gathered his thoughts.
Crowface did admit to the killings, not only were many parents in sight but Theodore was with me when Crowface spoke to us, so it isn't him.
Not to mention, Theodore doesn't seem the type to go this far for revenge and even so, if he wanted to he could have killed them when he first got back.
And Robert has been dead for years. . . Theodore, Ike and Norman can confirm it, maybe that was paranoia or insanity from Gale; There's no such thing as ghosts.
