who killed jane?

Chapter 11

paul's perspective:
i waited for ty to show up because i think i had found something that could help lead us to jane's killer, something to finally end this madness. after about 20 minutes, ty finally showed up "what took you so long?" i asked "sorry, traffic" he replied "what's up?" i pulled out a hard drive from my pocket "i downloaded some files from my dad's computer, i think they might've found her killer" i said as i plugged the hard drive into my laptop "his name is jeremy diaz, he was suspected of killing his girlfriend 5 months ago" "did he do it?" ty asked "no but he was a key suspect" i said "well if he didn't kill his girlfriend, how could you be so sure he killed jane?" ty asked "he could've covered his tracks somehow, hid the evidence, anything" i responded "okay but why would he go through the trouble of killing some random teenage girl after being suspected of killing his own girlfriend?" he asked "because that's what a psychopath would do" i said "what if he isn't a psycho? he could've just been framed-" ty started before i cut him off "it's a lead ty, if he didn't kill her maybe he knows who did" i said.

i took the hard drive out of the laptop "i'm gonna go look for him, ask him a few questions" i said "that doesn't sound like the brightest idea paul" ty said "you have any other ideas?" i asked "yeah, letting the police handle this" he said "they haven't really been doing the best job at that are they?, you're free to come with if you want...but if not, don't try and stop me" i said. ty sat in silence, seemingly afraid to respond so i got up and left, i needed to find jeremy.

as i walked outside, ty followed me "i'll give you a ride...you shouldn't go alone" he said. we both got in the car and headed off "if he...if he did it, what are you, we gonna do?" ty asked "turn him in...if i don't kill him first" i said. the rest of the car ride was silent we didn't even bother turning on the radio, i was left alone with my thoughts and the view of the city through the window, thoughts of what could've been if jane didn't die, if she we're still here like she's supposed to be.

when we got there it wasn't what we exactly expected, the address from the hard drive led us to an old broken down seemingly abandoned apartment building "this looks really shady" ty said "great hiding spot" i said as i got out of the car. ty hesitated to get out "you coming?" i asked "yeah-yeah" he said while stuttering. ty slowly got out of the car, clutching a taser in hand while locking the doors "let's go" he said. we walked up to the door and i knocked a couple of times. a few minutes went by and nothing happened "jeremy?! jeremy diaz??" i exclaimed "shhh what are you doing?" ty asked quietly but i ignored him and went to find another way into the building by walking around the back "paul come back!" ty said as he tried following behind. i stopped moving as i heard the sound of footsteps followed by a gun cocking and a strange looking man with a scar on his face emerged from the shadows in front of me "are you jeremy?" i asked "jeremy doesn't live her anymore" he said before hitting me in the head with the gun. i fell to the ground and could feel myself losing consciousness.

ty:
i heard a loud thud and rushed over to see paul on the ground with blood on his forehead and man with a gun standing over him. the man saw me and shot but luckily he missed and didn't have any more bullets so he dropped the gun and ran. i ran over to paul, picked him up, put him in the car and drove all the way to the nearest hospital and called his father, tonight was crazy, we were stupid, why did i go along with it?. after getting to the hospital, i noticed the hard drive missing from paul's pocket, whoever that man was must've taken it after knocking paul out.

paul's parents arrived at the hospital shortly after i called them "what the hell happened?!" officer michaels exclaimed as he walked into the building "paul and i followed up on a lead he found and..." i started "he didn't get shot did he?" he asked "no thank goodness, he just got hit in the head, doctor says he has a concussion" i said. officer michaels let out a sigh of relief "what the hell where you guys thinking?" he said "we weren't sir...we weren't" i said "i'm glad you guys are okay, but next time let the police handle it, you could've been killed" mrs. michaels said.
