ADRIAN TAPPED HER Foot, anxiously as Leslie finally answered the phone.

"Hello?" She greeted Adrian, rubbing her belly.

Adrian anxiously licked her lips, blinking the tears out of her eyes. How was she gonna tell her?

"Leslie..." Adrian frowned, gripping onto the phone, shaking nervously.

Leslie raised a brow, biting her lip "Is something wrong? Please tell me you talked to Mickey about the baby. I'm due in a few months, please. I can't have this child I don't want this thing, he's-"

Adrian sniffed, mumbling out "Jolene's dead."

"What?" Leslie stopped her rant, eyes widened in disbelief.

Adrian placed the phone away from her ear as Leslie broke down in sobs. Leslie took a deep breath, biting her lip.

"Where is she?" Leslie sniffled, wiping her nose with a tissue.

Adrian frowned, looking over to Amanda "I-i'm sorry, Leslie..."

Leslie sighed, nodding "I'll come over as soon as I can."

Adrian bit her lip, wiping her tears "Thank you."

The two hung up the call. Amanda opened her arms for Adrian. Adrian wrapped her arms around Amanda, shaking sadly. During their hug Dewey and Gale came over looking sad.

"Jolene's dead..." Amanda told Dewey.

Dewey and Gale looked at each other then back to Amanda. What they were about to say wasn't gonna be easy. Adrian looked at them, biting her lip.

Dewey rubbed the back of his neck "Amanda, s-something happened to Randy..."

Adrian and Amanda looked at each other then back to Dewey. What was going on?

"I-is he?" Amanda stuttered out, covering her mouth.

Dewey frowned, nodding sadly "I'm sorry, Mandy."

Adrian wrapped her arms around Amanda, rubbing her arms.

"Where's Jolene?" Dewey questioned, tilting his head.

Adrian sighed, sadness laced her tone "She's dead, too. I already called Leslie."

Dewey frowned, nodding "Gale and I are gonna head out for more clues. You two should meet up with Sid and Hallie."

Adrian sighed, looking behind her "We should probably take some things."

Amanda wiped her eyes, trembling "Y-yeah."

Adrian hugged Dewey then Gale "Sorry I mangled your face."

Gale sighed, smirking at her "No, you're not."

Adrian giggled a bit, looking at her boots "No, I'm not."

ADRIAN OPENED THE Trunk of her car, tossing her bag in with Amanda's bag. Amanda cleared her throat, nodding behind Adrian. Adrian turned around to see Mickey. Amanda rolled her eyes, closing the trunk. Mickey waved at Amanda before taking Adrian out of ear shot to Amanda.

"I killed Jolene." Mickey told Adrian, placing down the bag he was holding to rub Adrian's arms.

Adrian rolled her eyes, looking away from Mickey "You think I don't know that was you?"

Mickey sighed, looking down at his feet "Are you mad at me?"

Adrian let out a sigh, shrugging "A little, yeah. I mean her sister is giving her baby to us."

Mickey hugged Adrian, kissing her head "Sorry."

Adrian hugged back, resting her head on his chest. Amanda walked over, tilting her head.

"That stunt in our dorm was you?" Amanda questioned, raising a brow.

Mickey nodded, looking down at his boots. Adrian pursed her lips together.

"Who else?" Amanda inquired, looking over to Mickey.

Adrian looked over to Mickey "Well?"

"I can't tell you. What I can tell you is that I had the costume for you." Mickey picked up the bag he had, handing it to Adrian.

Amanda pursed her lips, sighing in annoyance "Did you kill my brother?"

Mickey shook his head, rubbing the back of his neck. Adrian kissed Mickey's cheek, softly. That was comforting.

"He's telling the truth." Adrian smiled a bit, looking over to Amanda.

Amanda nodded, walking back to Adrian's car. Adrian hugged Mickey, sighing sadly. Mickey hugged back, planting a kiss on her head.

"I love you." Adrian stroked his cheek.

Mickey smiled a bit "I love you, too."

The couple parted ways.

"I was about to knock him out." Amanda said, putting on her seat belt.

Adrian chuckled a bit as she followed Sidney's body guards. What a fun night this would be.
