SCARLET AND INDIGO Sat in Dewey's office, waiting for Vince and Aileen to be out of the questioning room. Indigo rolled her eyes in annoyance, resting her chin on her fist.

"I bet this is what your aunt and my mom felt like back in 96." Scarlet chuckled, looking up from her phone.

Indigo sighed, biting her lip "We'll make it out. How's Laurie holding up with her brother being questioned?"

"Probably trying to avoid Leslie as much as possible." Scarlet chuckled, rolling her eyes.

Indigo rolled her eyes, playfully "Do you think V did it?"

Scarlet shook her head, looking over to Indigo. He was with her the whole day. How could he do it? Especially since Roman supervised them all.

"He hates Stu Macher. Anything that reminds him of Stu he gets upset about it." Scarlet explained, biting her lip.

"I'm sure Deputy Judy Hopps is all over Vince thinking he did it." Indigo mocked, rolling her eyes.

Scarlet chuckled, playfully shoving Indigo "Fucking bitch."

SCARLET SAW LAUREN Come to the station with her backpack on. Vince stood up, rushing over to hug his little sister. Lauren hugged back, burying her face in his shoulder.

"Mom's pretty pissed you didn't come home." Lauren mumbled, looking down at her combat boots.

Vince rolled his eyes, planting a kiss on her head "Of course she is."

Scarlet watched the siblings, leaning against her cousin "I feel like my mother. Running after a person in a fucking Ghostface mask."

"My father started this." Aileen shook her head, looking over to Scarlet.

"Sam shouldn't come back." Scarlet looked over to Aileen, sighing.

Aileen nodded in agreement. Sam was close to Scarlet, if she found out Sam would flip.

"Agreed." Vince spoke up, looking over to the two cousins.

Scarlet reached her arms out for Vince, standing up. Vince hugged Scarlet back, planting a kiss on her cheek. Indigo sat next to Aileen while Lauren stood next to the pair.

"Now what?" Lauren questioned, looking up at her brother.

"There's something Roman and I have to do. Think you can handle my cousins?" Scarlet teased, cupping Vince's face.

Vince nodded, holding his hand out. Scarlet placed her car keys in his hand, walking out of the station. Roman pulled up to the station, rolling his window down. 

Scarlet got in the car, shaking her head "It's happening again, in the repeated order of the original killings."

"Casey Becker dated Stu Macher, but dumped him for Steven Orth. The principal, Tatum, then Gale's cameraman." Roman looked over to Scarlet as they drove off to Leslie's.

Scarlet nodded, running a hand through her raven hair. This should be good.
