Chapter twenty three,

friendly reunions

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

"KIRBY IS THAT YOU?" Was the first thing that she exhaled from her own lips, her hand was still intertwined with her boyfriends hand, he had furrowed his own eyebrows eying the blonde woman, he never truly known Kirby Reeds only what his girlfriend tells him.

Though, unlike him the carpenter sisters were morally confused on why they were both even here at the police station, all while Tara slowly eyed her friend and simply questioning her friend, "Jasmine, you know her?" Finger pointed at Kirby Reeds.

Though, Jasmine had ignored her response as she quickly released her hand from Chad's, and simply approaching Kirby and wrapping her arms around the older woman, "Before your sister would babysit me it was her, Kirby Reeds." She slowly exhaled, a sense of comfort she felt from hugging Kirby.

Kirby had gently smiled at her, rubbing her back in a comfort manner, "Reyna Kayoko was working a double shift, and needed someone to help babysit. . ." She smiled before it had easily vanished, guilt ultimately settling in because of her babysitting Jasmine Altieri, it given Charlie Walker a easy way to target a nine year old, and also ultimately killing her mother, "And then that, incident happened." She slightly paused.

Jasmine who l gently pulled away from the older woman, "It's not your fault, Kirby. It's never your fault." She had reassured her before her eyes glanced around at the three others who were here with them as well, "What did we miss?" She had intertwined her hand back with her boyfriend who was caressing her hand.

Before anyone can possibly say anything, a cop had handed Detective Bailey a mask, and also whispering something in his ear, "He left this mask at the bodega. . ." And also glancing at the information written over the bag, "DNA traces of two individuals, Charlie Walker and Jill Roberts, both deceased." His eyes roamed at Kirby Reeds.

Jasmine who felt herself panic, "Ghostface killers of 2011." Kirby Reeds had bit the inside of her cheek after announcing that before she had raised her shirt, "Charlie Walker gave me this." She was so angry, and still was because of the betrayal.

The betrayal of Jill Roberts.

Jasmine felt her eyes getting watery just remembering this the longer she was looking at the mask she had was once seen, "Charlie Walker killed my mom. . ." Her voice cracked before she continued, "I answered the phone, and just assumed it was the pizza delivery guy, but it wasn't. He just wanted to play a horrifying game. It was, uhm Hide and seek." Chad soothed her shoulders as she spoke more, "I didn't listen to him, so he had then killed my mom in the most brutal way, and then he targeted me. Stabbing me four times." She breathed out.

   Kirby who felt guilty because she couldn't help, but feel partially to blame, "I'm really sorry, Minnie. . ." Before she questioned both of the Carpenter, "Is this the mask he was wearing when he attacked you?" She ultimately deadpanned, eyebrows raised.

   Both shaking their head, "No."

   Detective Bailey who easily spoken back up to them all, "It possibly can't be Mickey Altieri. . ." He breathed out, and just making Jasmine and Chad's eyes widened as no one knew of this, all while Sam furrowed her eyebrows, "What?"

   Jasmine who nervously chuckled at them all about this little situation, "Is this a good time to tell y'all that my dad broke out prison – a year ago." She nervously said when she had seen their mouths drop.

Tara who spoke, "Great. . . So, your dad is back in his old ways, massacring people." She ran her hands through her hair.

Jasmine's eye twitched, "It's not him!"

Chad nodded his head and agreeing with his girlfriend, "Yeah. It can't possibly be him, he has no way to even get all of theses masks, and especially his own." He easily shrugged his own shoulders.

Sam who had let out a frustrated groan, "Well if it's not Jasmine's dad then we're getting the hell out of town." She along Tara began to walk away only for Detective Bailey to quickly speak up, "I'm sorry, that's not possible." He sternly told them before continuing to them, "You're both persons of interest in a double homicide, so you're not allowed to leave town. Sorry." He had apologized to the two.

Tara who was offended, "Are you serious?"

Sam who was flabbergasted, "What about Jasmine can she leave town?" She pointed her finger at Jasmine who was offended.

Detective Bailey who had easily spoken up to Samantha Carpenter, "She may not be a person of interest, but with Mickey Altieri who's out on the loose, we have a better chance on finding his whereabouts with her, so she must stick around in town, as well." He sternly said.

Jasmine who groaned, "Great."

Kirby who had nodded her head, "He's right, but if we work together—" She was just rudely interrupted by Samantha who had spoken in complete aggressiveness, "We're going, and I hope you tell Mindy and Anika the bullshit you both have been hiding." She eyed the couple before walking away with Tara.

Jasmine who got pissed before Detective Bailey spoken to Jasmine, "Your therapist and the girl who had harassed Sam and you were found murdered tonight. . ." He had clicked his tongue on his teeth, "Your dad is possibly a lot closer than you think." He vanished.

Jasmine had felt herself getting really light headed from all of this information, "It can't possibly be him, right?" She was searching her boyfriends eyes alongside Kirby's eyes for confirmation.

   Kirby who easily spoken to her, reassuring her to calm down, "Hey — Don't work yourself up, stress isn't good for you. There's cups over there to get some water, please drink some." She had recommended, all while Jasmine had nodded her head, and walking over to that direction.

   Chad who calmly spoke, "This is why we didn't want anyone to learn about her dad's missing whereabouts. . ." He fiddling with his fingers, "They begin to stress her out, and now she's really stressed." He mumbled out.

  Kirby who spoke in complete honesty to him about Jasmine's wellbeing, "Then maybe those aren't friends, or if they are all just need to simply understand that they are stressing her out. . ." Kirby retorted with concern written all over her face before it had softened, "I can tell that you really love her, so please protect her. Also, congratulations on the both of you." She gently smiled before walking away.

Jasmine appearing into his view, "I'm so tired, and hungry." She had wrapped her arms around his torso, all while he kissed the top of her head.

He had softly murmured in her ear, "Come on. We'll get you something to eat on the way, and then I can help you take a warm shower, and then we can go to sleep." He softly told her, all while they had headed their way out of the police station.

────────────────────

   "OH NO, SHE DIDN'T," Jasmine felt her own jaw clenching, especially at what she had just seen and now she was completely pissed at Tara Carpenter. She had quickly hurried down the steps, all while Chad was behind her, and knew she was pissed.

   Chad who spoke, "Never a day where Tara can't do anything like this, and stressing you out." He mumbled out angrily. He was getting sick and tired of her little behavior, and it was to the point that he at moments didn't want Jasmine even near the girl.

   Jasmine yelling in such rage at Tara, a anger that she had never once had before, "What the fuck is wrong with you, Tara?" She ultimately managed to stand slightly in front of her Aunt Gale, "Punching someone?" Her arms weren't even crossed yet.

   Tara stumbled with her words, "I– Well. . ."

   She was interrupted when she felt Jasmine punching her in the face, "I understand you're both angry at her book, but never lay a hand on her. . ." She had spat venomously at them, and their stupid behavior, "Because no matter what someone would've written a book about Sam." She gritted through her teeth.

   Gale and Chad, "Minnie, calm down."

   They didn't want her getting stressed outs

   Tara who glared at Jasmine before her eyes drifted at Gale, "I heard that you couldn't sell the movie rights." She deadpanned.

   Gale eyes who drifted down at the girl who's friends with her niece, "It's all about true-crime limited series these days." Gale announced.

   Sam was completely offended decided to just speak up, again with her eyebrows that had furrowed, "After everything we went through together. What would dewey think?" She had deadpanned.

   Jasmine gritted with her own teeth, eyes darkening at the two, "You're such a bitch, Sam. You included Tara." She had purposely bumped shoulders with them, and heading far away from them to sit down in the grass.

   Chad's jaw clenched at the sisters for all the shit they said today, "You both better apologize to her, I'm so tired of you, especially Tara." He had bluntly said, "After everything, you all find a way to stress her out, you either apologize or whatever this shit is going on with the return of Ghostface, you're both on your own." He shook his head, and walking past them to comfort his girlfriend.
