ADRIAN HADN'T SLEPT Since the murder of Cotton Weary and it worried Mickey. Mickey came home from work. 

"Hey, why don't I take you down there?" Mickey questioned his wife, cupping her face.

Adrian nodded with a slight smile "Yeah, sure."

Mickey rubbed her back, resting his chin on her head. Adrian wrapped her arms around her husband, listening to the sound of his beating heart. Only Mickey and Amanda knew that Roman, Adrian, and Sidney were related. Adrian couldn't bring herself to tell Sidney.

THE NEXT DAY, Mickey drove Adrian and Vince to the set of Stab 3. Adrian sighed, looking to Mickey.

"Just park and stay here, I'll see if he knows anything." Adrian told Mickey before pecking lips then planting a kiss on Vince's forehead.

Vince giggled and babbled watching his adopted mother get out of the car. Mickey rolled down his window with a small smirk.

"I love you." Mickey told her with the same smirk on his face.

"Love you more." Adrian replied before walking on to set.

Adrian and Amanda found each other, hugging each other. Roman appeared next to Adrian, wrapping his arm around her.

"You shouldn't be here." Roman whispered in Adrian's ear.

Adrian shrugged, walking with Roman "What happened after Cotton's murder?"

"Someone on the cast was killed." Roman explained before sitting at his chair.

Adrian hugged Dewey before sitting next to him. Everyone watched Roman go on his rant.

"All I ever wanted to do was make a real classic love story and the studio said they'd let me. I just had to do a scary movie first. Now we're shut down and I am fucked!" Roman whined, looking around to everyone.

"God, it's not the end of the world, Roman." Jennifer told Roman.

Adrian snorted at the comment which caused her brother to side eye her.

"That is so easy for to say. You can always go back to Must See TV. I have no movie. I'm about to turn 30, and it looks like I'm the next target." Roman told Dewey, Courtney, and Jennifer.

"What?" Amanda, Adrian, and Jennifer questioned in unison.

"You? Why you?" Dewey asked Roman, trying to understand as well.

Roman picked up his headless award "Do you think this wasn't a message?"

The girls looked at each other.

"Roman Bridger?" A detective asked, walking over to Roman.

"What?" Roman snapped, looking over to the detectives.

"Mr. Bridger, you didn't tell us you spoke with Sarah Darling before she was murdered." One of the detectives said, looking at Roman.

"Spoke with her when?" Roman asked, cracking his knuckles.

"The guard said she was here for a meeting with you." He replied to Roman.

"What meeting? I don't-" Roman started but got cut off by one of the detectives.

"We talked to her roommate, too. Says you called Sarah, told her to come down to the studio. Roommate answered the phone. Says it was you." The shorter detective told Roman.

"Wait a minute. I never called her. I never told her to go anywhere." Roman said, cooly.

"Roommate says she knows your voice, Mr. Bridger." The taller detective said, in an aggressive manner.

"She wasn't speaking with me. God. Look. I did not call Sarah Darling." Roman defended himself.

"Sarah Darling said you did." The taller detective said.

"Someone's trying to ruin my movie. Someone wants to kill my movie." Roman whined, throwing his hands in the air.

"We'll talk about your movie down at the station. Alright. This is the scene where you come with us." The shorter detective told Roman.

"Dewey, Amanda, Adrian, Jennifer. Wait a minute. She wasn't talking with me on the phone. I'm coming." Roman said, walking away with the shorter detective.

"Ms. Prescott." The detective greeted with a nod.

Adrian nodded in return. Something seemed off about him to Adrian.

"Battery. Mr. Riley, do you have a cell phone I can borrow?" The detective questioned Dewey, putting his phone in his pocket.

Dewey gave his over to the detective. Amanda rubbed her temples, shaking her head.

"What the hell was I thinking? This could be Stu all over again." Amanda groaned, leaning into Adrian.

Adrian rubbed her arm, looking over to Dewey. Dewey shared the same worried look. This can't be happening again.
