WHEN THE RILEY TWINS FINALLY arrived at the police station, they were both shocked to find out that the main suspect of the Woodsboro Murders was their friend, Billy Loomis.

Before either of them walked into the station to check on Sidney, they decided to speak their own minds before hearing all the allegations.

⋆˚✿˖°

Closing her car door, Salem met Tatum who was standing beside the side of the building.

"So do we truly think Billy Loomis, the same Billy we've been friends with since childhood, is actually capable of killing." Tatum asked, before crossing her arms over her chest.

"I don't know Tate, I mean the guy definitely has soulless eyes. But I'd also think he'd actually have to have a motive to kill Steve and Casey."

"Maybe he didn't want a motive, in horror movies sometimes the victims are just surrogates for who the killer actually wants to kill."

"And you think Casey is a surrogate for Sidney. No way those two don't even have anything in common besides sitting next to each other in English. Besides that makes Billy a surrogate for Steve and that doesn't make sense because those two hated each other."

"That's why this works, Sae. Billy hated Steve so much that he killed him, plus we all know Billy was jealous of Steve when he started dating you." Tatum pointed out.

"Billy... jealous of Steve... for dating me, yeah right Tate."

"I'm serious whether you want to believe it or not, Sae. But we all knew that Billy had the biggest crush on you back then, why else do you think he let you take his virginity."

"I thought we agreed that we would never bring that up again, at least for Sidney's sake."

"Sorry, but the past comes back to bite you in the ass."

"Of course it does, but even with all that, why would he target Casey? I get that we said she could be a surrogate for Sidney but is that all we really have, because if so Sid deserves a lot better than that, especially since her Mother was butchered almost a year ago coming up this weekend."

"Sae, that's it! Whoever killed Mrs.Prescott last year, is probably coming back around this year to indulge in his killing fantasies."

"Even if that's true, didn't they arrest Cotton Weary for that. Plus, do we still think it could be Billy out of all people?"

"I don't know, but what I do know is that Sidney needs us now more than ever."

"That I can agree with you on." Salem nodded, linking her sister's arm within her own before opening and heading into the station.

Upon walking into the station, Salem and Tatum's main focus was on finding Sidney.

But when the girls finally found their friend, Salem stopped before reaching the brunette because something felt off.

And it wasn't the first time she always felt that way either. She always had an feeling that someone was watching her or more stalking her.

She felt it today at the water fountain and again at cheer practice.

At first she just put it off as some kids looking at her because she was so popular, but it continued to happen when she was just around her friends.

She'd feel this piercing gaze practically suffocating her.

When she'd turn to see who it was, she never found out.

And when she did see someone staring at her, most of the time it was Billy so she just put it off, because he was her friend and she also didn't think he would stalk her like a creep.

So as soon as she stepped foot into the main office where other deputies worked, why did she feel that same suffocating gaze.

⋆˚✿˖°

Billy Loomis had just got done pleading his case to Sheriff Burke when he turned to hurtfully stare at Sidney through the office window when he noticed Salem walking in.

Even when he didn't want to notice her, he always did.

It was a magnetic pull his soul had towards her.

No matter if his eyes had previously been on his girlfriend, whenever Salem entered a room or simply spoke, Billy was always there to watch her.

Just like he was now, following her with his eyes like she was a gravitating light in the darkness.

⋆˚✿˖°

Salem turned to see who was watching her within the police station, but the only thing she saw was Billy's head turning back around to speak with his dad.

At first things seemed a little eerie, but Salem then put it to her mind playing tricks on her because of the latest events.

Walking further into the main office, the Riley girl was soon met with Billy being dragged out of the Sheriff's office with 2 deputies on each side.

"Sidney... Sidney come on, you know me. Sidney, look at me!" She heard Billy shout, watching as Sidney refused to even turn her head his way.

Seeing that he wasn't getting through to his weeping girlfriend, Billy then set his eyes onto Salem.

Trying to stop the deputies from pushing him further, Billy tried to stay grounded next to the spot where Salem was standing.

Catching eyes with one another, Billy tried talking to Salem.

"Come on Salem, you gotta tell them I had nothing to do with this. Sidney won't but I know you will." He pleaded one last time.

And if Salem was being honest with herself, she would've believed Billy's lies, because she could tell by his tone alone that he really was blindsided in the matter, but when she stared into his eyes when he was being dragged away she could tell that something wasn't all that sincere.

The only thing she could do in that moment was nod her head, and continue her walk over to Sidney and Tatum.

"Sid, we are going to get you out of here, okay? You okay?"

Salem heard Tatum ask while she rubbed the brunette's shoulders.

"I will be, as soon as I get out of here."

"I think we can help with that." Salem said, soon joining the girls.

Looking for her brother throughout the room she soon spotted him, standing besides Sheriff Burke with a Halloween costume in his hand.

Though she couldn't hear what they were talking about, she did know that the costume in question was sold everywhere so they weren't going to catch a lucky break anytime soon.

"Oh come on!" Tatum exasperated.

"All cops are slow. You know that Tate, because that even includes our brother."

"You would think with what's going on right now, they'd be moving at a faster pace."

"And I'm sure they would be, if this wasn't a small town where barely anything happens."

"Well yeah, but that shouldn't have to apply to us." Tatum said, before she turned around to face their brother.

"Hey Dewey, can we go now?" Tatum said impatiently.

"Hold on a second." The eldest Riley sibling brushed off.

"God damnit, Dewey."

"We're already tired enough as it is. And you've gotten your statement tonight, so please tell us why we can't leave?" Salem joined in, becoming irritated by her brother.

"What did mama tell ya? When I wear this badge you treat me like a man of the law." Dewey said, trying to stop his sister's from further embarrassing him.

"I'm sorry Deputy Dewey – boy, but we need to go now, okay!"

"Plus, when we start treating you like "a man of the law" is when we start to see one and so far we don't.

The Riley twins said, before gathering their things before walking out with Sidney.

"Uh, take them out the backway to avoid the circus out there." Sheriff Burke informed, already seeing the future argument about to take place.

Following his instructions, the girls started to head out through the back door of the station. But not before Dewey tried grabbing their arms so he could have a "serious" talk. But he just ended up getting shrugged off.

"Don't touch me." They both said.

"He's my superior." Dewey whined.

"The janitor is your superior." Tatum declared, causing Salem to laugh.

⋆˚✿˖°

Exiting through the back entrance, the trio stood waiting for Dewey to finish his uncared for monologue.

"You guys stay here, I'm going to get the car. Don't move, Don't make a sound."

"Or what, the boogeyman is gonna come and get us. Just hurry up Dewey." Salem huffed, before Dewey turned and ran down the alley.

With their backs turned neither of the girls saw Gale Weathers coming, until they heard her.

"Sidney! Some night, what happened? Are you alright?" Gale questioned, with her cameraman not far behind.

"She's not answering any questions, alright. Just leave us alone." Tatum stated, pushing the microphone out of Sidney's face.

" No Tatum. It's okay. She's just doing her job. Right Gale?"

"Yes, that's right."

"I can see doing her job, but this is pure obsession." Salem said with distaste.

Soon a gaggle of other cameramen and news broadcasters came running over, joining the scene.

"So, how's the book?" Sidney asked, not actually caring for what Gale had to say next.

Although judging by the look on Gale's face she didn't see the sarcasm Sidney had written all over her face.

"Well, it'll be out this year."

"Oh, I'll look for it." Sidney spoke with great annoyance, as she began to turn around to leave.

But of course Gale couldn't let her have the last word.

"I'll send you a copy."

And what happened next was too fast to predict, because one moment Sidney had turned to leave and the next she was punching Gale Weathers in the face.

"And stay down, bitch!" Salem shouted, before she heard Dewey's truck pull up.

Turning to see that her brother had finally arrived, Both Tatum and Salem went to get their own cars now knowing Sidney was safe, for now.

⋆˚✿˖°

As soon as the girls arrived at the Riley residence, they all took turns taking showers and getting ready for bed.

Salem was the last to come out of the shower.

Heading to her room, she halted hearing the phone ring.

"I got it!" She yelled throughout her household.

Walking over, she picked up the phone on its 3 ring.

"Hello?"

"Hello..."

"Ah okay I get it, creepy phone guy has my house landline now. Honestly I didn't think you could get any creepier."

There was a chuckle on the other end of the line before the man started talking.

"Your friend Billy really hoped that you'd get your brother "the deputy" to help him out."

"Sorry to tell you, but even if I did get my brother to listen to me. He wouldn't have done much, he's not that high ranking in the workforce."

"Awww, Deputy Dewey couldn't help your friend but maybe he'll be able to help your other one."

"What other one?" Salem questioned with resilience.

"Oh you know, the one with striking blonde hair who just so happens to be the principal's son, goes by the name of Spike."

If this were someone Salem hadn't really cared about she would've made a joke, but that wasn't going to happen this time. Not when it came to Spike.

"Listen here fucker, I don't know who you are and I've willing played your games, but this ends now. I don't give a fuck about others but I do give a fuck about Spike. So you're not going to try me today, because it won't end well."

"It's funny you think that you have a say in who I kill or don't. Sorry, sweetheart but this isn't a business transaction."

"You're right this isn't a business transaction, so that means I CAN HANG UP." Salem shouted before slamming the phone on its hook, alerting Tatum and Sidney who were down the hall.

Rushing out of the room to see what was wrong, Tatum was met with her sister frantically dialing someone else's phone number.

"Come on pick up. Pick up!"

"Sae, what's going on?"

"Nothing you need to worry about right now Tate, just tell mom I'm going out for a minute."

Hearing no one pick up the phone on the other end, Salem hung up and ran to her room to put on some shoes.

Following behind her, both Tatum and Sidney saw the look on her face. And it was one they had rarely ever seen, fear.

"Do you need us to come with you?" Was all Tatum asked, watching as her sister headed out of the room once more.

"No, I just need you to say here keep Sid company she's been through enough tonight."

"Yeah I can do that, but I'm worried about you right now." Tatum spoke with sincerity in her voice.

"We both are." Sidney added.

"There is no need to worry about me Tate – Sid. I'm just going to go check on a friend." Salem said, smiling before she headed towards the front door.

"Just be safe please, because whatever you're going to go do, you look scared and we've never seen you scared before."

"I promise I'll be safe, it's probably nothing anyways." She said, giving her sister and her bestfriend a hopeful smile before she opened the front door.

"Yeah, I hope so." Tatum whispered, watching her sister leave.
