We were now back with the rest of the team in the small office.

"Anything?" Greg walks towards us with the group following.

"Not much. It's all about Y/N. Billie's mother said she was in love with her. They haven't spoken so we have no idea where she would go." Nova replies.

"We don't have much either. Looks like she took some time off from killing. No new victims. The detective says they haven't seen her lurking around the university either." Cece replies.

"It's been a long day. You should all go get some rest. We'll continue this tomorrow. Y/N, I need to speak with you." Greg says sternly. I was nervous, was I in trouble?

I follow Greg to the back while the others head out, and he closes the door behind him.

"What's wrong sir?" I look up at him.

"I'm sorry that I have to do this. You are no longer working the case."

"What? Why?" I raise an eyebrow.

"It's protocol. You're now a target of Billie's and I will not let anything happen to you. I'm not putting you at risk."

"But sir I-"

"That's an order Y/N." Greg raises his voice a little more. I look down and nod.

"Yessir."

We both walk out of the building and I look for an SUV. To my luck, I see Nova standing outside next to one, so I head over to him.

"Ready to go?" He asks.

"Yep." I smile and head to the passengers side.

Nova drives us to the hotel and we both check in. I search for a room but it seems like all the rooms that were booked were also filled. Me and Nova were forced to share a room, so we did.

I place my things on my bed and do my nightly routine. Nova does the same and I head to my bed.

I sit there facing forward, staring at nothing. I'm overthinking the situation and I shouldn't be, but I couldn't help it.

"Y/N? You okay?" I see Nova from the corner of my eye walk out of the bathroom, without a shirt.

"Yeah..." I say turning to him. I stare at his figure with a raised eyebrow.

"This is how I sleep. Got a problem?" He gives me that 'what you looking at?' Look. I couldn't help but chuckle.

"No I don't." I smile and stare at him. I see him walk over to me, and he sits himself down on the bed.

"What's going on in that head of yours?" He nudges me.

"I don't think it's a good idea if I say it." I shrug.

"Try me."

"Billie kissed me." I see Nova's eyes widen.

"She what?!"

"Shush! You're being too loud." I cover his mouth with my hand. He yanks it off.

"And when did you plan on telling us this?!" He whisper screams.

"I don't know Nova I- I didn't know if it was okay to tell the team. I felt...weird about it." I look away and stare at nothingness once again.

"You liked it. Didn't you?" He cocks his head to the side.

I part my mouth open to speak, but nothing comes out. Nova claps his hands and smiles widely.

"Ha! I knew it! You liked that kiss!" I couldn't help but smile at his childish actions.

"Billie Eilish is a serial killer. That's disgusting Nova." I turn to him and roll my eyes playfully.

"The thing is, you liked it. You let her get away, and now she might have more victims."

"Nova don't make me feel bad! I'm going to find her and I'm going to catch her."

Nova places his hand on my shoulder and squeezes it tight.

"Good luck with that. Don't fall for her Y/N." He chuckles and goes back to his bed. I do the same and lie down, slowly shutting my eyes.

"Don't let her make you fall for it in your dreams too." Nova whispers. I grab a pillow and throw it at him.

"Oh shut it Jackson." I laugh and get back to bed, then drift off.
