Carl's POV
I couldn't stop staring at Joey's undead body. Joey was a potential suspect to be the killer, but now he was killed. And from the looks of things it doesn't look like he was just killed, it looked like he was tortured.
"Move!" I heard Zelda's voice as she pushed through the crowd. "What happ..."
She stopped midsentence as she saw Joey. I watched her, worried she was gonna snap and lose it. But she didn't.
"Get everyone out of here." She said.
I nodded before I made an announcement to everyone sending them away from the crime scene until only Blake, Tommy, Zelda and I remained.
"How could this have happened?" Tommy wondered. "If it was in the middle of the street you'd think someone would have heard it?"
"His mouth is gaged." Blake noticed. "Must of stopped him from screaming."
"He wasn't killed out here." Zelda said as she was kneeling on the ground.
"What do you mean?" I asked as we went over to her.
"Look at this." Zelda said as she pointed dried bloodstains. "It looks like he was dragged here. C'mon."
Zelda stood up and started following the trail of dry blood and the three of us followed behind her. Eventually we found that the blood trail led us to Father Johnathan's house.
"So the killer killed Joey in the house of one of their past victims?" Tommy asked confused.
"That's fucked." Blake said.
"But smart." Zelda added. "We assumed that following the trail would lead us to the house of the killer, but instead it was to a dead guy's house, therefore not helping really helping us at all."
"We should go inside." I said. "See if there's any clues."
"Man, when did our lives become a murder mystery movie?" Tommy asked.
The four of us walked inside and as soon as we did we saw dried blood all over the floors and walls. I also noticed what looked like Joey's cutoff fingers on the ground.
"This is definitely where Joey was murdered." Zelda said.
"Guys!" Blake called out from he other rooms.
Tommy, Zelda and I ran into the other room and saw Blake staring at the wall. When we looked at the wall we saw that there was a message written in blood.
'Your leader dies tonight'
