Gale Weathers was alive, blood stained her skin as she watched Tatum's body be zipped away into a body bag. She ignored all the looks she got from people who were trying to see what happened.

She honestly didn't remember how she got here, the last thing she remembered was being inside that room. It had been a good few years since she had seen Stu Macher's house. So waking up inside the garage terrified her deeply, especially when she saw Tatums corpse dangling off the garage door.

She wouldn't sleep again, not with an understanding that she could've been dead. She remembered seeing the gun pointed right at her, she closed her eyes so tightly when it went off. Yet she was still here.

Tatum was dead and Gale was here, she knew this wasn't the end, she still felt paranoid. "Holy shit... is that Gale" she didn't acknowledge Sam or Tara.

The girls both walked beside Kirby as the woman bagged up evidence. Gale rubbed her hands together as she let out shaky breaths "he's next...".

Kirby frowned deeply as she looked at Gale "Gale, can you tell me who's next, I need to understand". Gale couldn't help but laugh weakly "don't you get it, they're going after all of us, we're not safe".

Kirby kneeled down in front of Gale "I understand you're scared, but I need you to tell me who's next, I can help whoever it is, we're gonna stop this fucker before they hurt someone else, please Gale".

The woman cried softly "it's both of them, it's a pattern" Kirby frowned deeply "a pattern?". Gale nodded as she let out an exhale.

"They're teaching Corey a lesson, he can't save everyone... Dewey and Randy are next on the list, and it ends with one of them dead. It's a pattern Kirby, and you're likely a target, all of you are".

Kirby sighed deeply "we can stop this, we just need to figure out the pattern, we can find Randy and Dewey, stop them from being attacked".

Gale laughed "you don't get it, they're already taken, Dewey was with me... the fucker grabbed both of us. Whose to say they didn't also grab Randy".

Kirby stood up "okay so we just figure out where they are, that can't be too hard, I mean you said it's a pattern, we found you here at Stu Machers house".

Gale sat up "Tatum was supposed to die here in 1996, Corey saved her before the pet door could crush her. Which means if I'm right, they're at woodsboro college, Randy was supposed to die there in 1997. And well Corey saved him... we have to hurry".

Corey didn't understand where he was, the room was dark and he felt water pouring down onto him. He coughed harshly as he opened his eyes, he winced when the lights turned on. He covered his face with his hand as he listened to the soft hum of water.

It poured slowly into the box he was inside of, he let out a shaky breath as he looked around in panic. He clawed at the collar around his neck ignoring the pain it caused his fingers.

His eyes widened in horror at the sight of Randy and Dewey both in front of him.

Both struggling as they pounded on the glass boxes they were stuck inside of. Corey pushed himself upwards as he pounded on the glass in front of him.

Randy let out a shaky breath "Corey! What the fuck is this man?" Corey looked upwards as water slowly made its way inside of the box. He shivered at how cold it was. Dewey pushed his shoulder into the box and sighed angrily when it didn't do anything.

"They grabbed me and Gale, I gotta get out of here and find her, she needs my help". Corey pushed his face into the glass "Gales fine Dewey... she was here earlier... or yesterday, the days here are confusing".

The door opened and Corey grew tense as the figure walked towards him. "I was beginning to worry you wouldn't wake up for your next little test".

Corey flinched when two cord flew down from the ceiling, both holding levers with Dewey and Randy's name. The figure hummed "it's a simple test Corey, pick one of your friends to die, you let poor little Tatum die, now it's time you pick another, only this time instead of me killing both if you fail to participate. You'll be electrocuted until you just simply stop breathing, I do hope you're smart".

Corey screamed when a shock ran though his body, the collar around his neck sizzling as he pushed himself forward. He grunted as let out heavy breaths "if you think for a second I'm killing my friends, you're dead wrong, so you might as well kill me".

More water poured down on him making him wince "oh but Corey, you don't have a choice anymore, I've changed my mind, pick one or all of you die, I do hope your friends can hold their breaths".

Corey screamed as another shock ran through his body, he gasped as the water poured down more faster. His gagged as water slowly made its way into his nose, he swam upwards.

He coughed as the water kept flowing upwards, he pinched his eyes shut as the water slowly made its way over his face. He moved around like crazy as he felt the water entering his body.

He reached his hand upwards, ignoring the pain as he pulled on the first lever he could reach. Almost immediately he was lifted upwards, he coughed violently as he was lowered onto the ground.

He held onto himself tightly as he coughed the water out of his mouth. His throat burned as he looked forward in defeat Randy's body floated lifeless inside of the box. Corey screamed when a shock ran through his body, his eyes rolled into the back of his head as he passed out onto the ground.

"Time of death is within the last six hours, his body was moved here for us to find, the stab wounds are fresh, made within the last hour. The killer made these after the victim died of drowning". Kirby sighed deeply as she zipped up the body bag "the thing I don't understand about this, is why move the bodies? Tatum was found inside of the garage in Stu Macher's house. Gale was near the body but left unharmed".

Kirby looked at Gale as the woman held onto Dewey's hand, the man still slightly disoriented. Kirby taps her pen onto her notepad "Now Randy is found inside a news van in front of the campus of woodsboro college. Where Dewey was also left unharmed, what does the killer gain from this".

Dewey let out a sigh "they're punishing Corey, he had a choice... pick one or all of us to die, he picked Randy". Gale looked uncomfortable "it was the same for me and Tatum, Corey had to pick one of us or else the killer would've killed us both".

Kirby hummed "so the killers making Corey pick who dies, but what's the connection we're missing here? You said it yourself Gale, it's a pattern. Clearly the killers moving the bodies to past crime scenes, both victims would've died in these places, yet Corey saved them in time, so why kill them now? Why make Corey pick who dies when it's clearly rigged".

Gale frowned "rigged? You think it's rigged?" Kirby nodded "Tatum was saved by Corey in 1996 the following year Randy was saved. Both are now dead in the same order, bodies found in the places where they should've originally died. Think real hard Gale, who did Corey point the gun at?".

Gale's eyes widened "me, he pointed it at me! I remember he pulled the trigger, but it never hit me". Dewey sighed "he pulled my lever... he couldn't see whose it was, but I saw the name on it, it was mine"

Kirby looked around "okay so that means the killers going in order of people who Corey saved? But who would be next? The next killings would've taken place in the 2000s, most of those people died".

Gale smiled weakly "not all of them, Corey saved Jennifer from being stabbed by Roman, but that's the only person I can even remember him saving from that year. So who else could it be?".
