Brook took a deep breath as he looks at everyone. "Reaper, can you get something for me from home?"

"Sure thing." He replied. Reaper knows exactly what he wants to get him.

"And what is the thing you need?" Reaper joked.

"Oh, come on Reaper." Brook said. "You know what I'm talking about."

"What? No. I'm not some creep who knows anything about everyone."

Brook crossed my arms. Reaper sighed, then disappeared. A few seconds later, he was back with a plastic zip bag containing a phone inside. "Here."

"Give it to Brandon." Brook said.

"What's that?" Collin asked me.

"You guys will know." 

He grabbed the phone and turned it on. Brook told him to open the gallery and play the only video there.

"Play this."

He played the video.

***

There was a guy setting the camera.

"Isn't that your dad?" Brandon asked Brook.

"Yes." He replied. "Keep watching."

"Okay, I know that something bad will happen here. Darlene and Lucy are now upstairs, and Brad is there, doing drugs."

"Oh my god." Brandon said. "Dad was doing drugs?"

Three of them was walking downstairs while Brad and Darlene are arguing.

"All this time, I thought you were working really hard to earn money," Darlene said angrily. "but this whole time, you were selling and using drugs?!"

"Hey! I did this for us!"

"For us?! You earned this money in an illegal way! I'd rather live under a bridge than get involved in all this!"

"Darlene-"

"I'm telling the cops."

Brad pulled out a gun from his back pocket and aimed it at Darlene.

"You will never tell anyone about this!" Brad said, his head and his his hand twitching.

"No!" Lucy, Brad and Darlene's 15 year old daughter said. "Dad, don't do this!"

A quick silence filled the room, then Brad pulled the trigger, placing a bullet on Darlene's head.

Lucy shrieked, then kneeled down, holding her mom's head.

"I knew both of you would not understand." He aimed the gun at Lucy and also pulled the trigger.

As Brad was looking at the dead bodies, the other guy hid the phone on his polo pocket, still recording everything.

"You." Brad said, pointing at the guy. "Help me hide these bodies."

They both picked up the bodies and went to the backyard. They hid the bodies on the shed.

"We will not ever speak of this, again!" Brad said agressively.

As soon as Brad walked back inside the house, the guy pulled his camera and pointed it to him.

"I'm Max Wexlyn." He said in a trembling voice. "Brad Graves commited the murder of Darlene Graves and Lucy Graves. He is also using and pushing drugs, and I confess that I'm an accomplice to his crimes. Whoever found this, please show this to the LAPD."

The video ended there.

Everyone was shocked. Who wouldn't be after you just witness a murder? On the phone anyway.

"Oh my god." Leslie said.

"All this time," Brandon said without any emotion. "We've been finding the wrong person. It was dad."

Brook took a deep breath because he knew he was gonna explain something long.

"This happened the week before we died. A week later, the night of our death, the L.A.P.D. found out that your was the one selling drugs. Your dad tried to escape by driving around town. He was the one on the news about a high-speed chase. The police finally caught him when-"

"He hit me." Collin continued. "Brandon's dad was the one who got me killed."

Everyone was shocked. Clark's tears started to fall.

Brandon wiped the tears that was dripping on his cheeks. "Collin, Clark, I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Collin wiped the tears from his face. Clark nodded, doing the same thing.

"And I'm sorry Brook if my dad got yours into his mess."

"It's okay. My dad accepts the consequences."

They both hugged it out, well, tried to. "The case of your mom and sister's hasn't been closed yet. We still need to show the evidence. You up to do it?

"Yeah." He replied, followed by a couple of sniffles.

He looked at the phone one more time, then he inserted it in his pocket.

Everyone's phone just rang. They all opened their phone and a notification appeared.

Mission Complete

"Looks like that's all of it!" Collin said joyfully.

"Why did we recieved the notifications just now?" Clark asked. "We finished ours a few hours ago."

"We're still fixing a couple of minor bugs." Reaper said.

"So that's it?" Jessica asked. "It's over?"

"I guess so." Leslie replied.

"Well," Reaper said. "You all still have 3 days. We can still have fun."

Everybody's gloomy expression fade away and turned into a cheerful one.

"Why don't you say we go have fun while it last?"
