CURRENTLY THE GROUP Were all in Kirby's van. Every time Ethan kept munching on the Cheetos, Anastasia grimaced. Aileen and Richie looked at each other then rolled their eyes.

"Want some?" Ethan offered.

Anastasia shook her head, making a face. Ethan kissed her cheek. Lila and Mindy gagged.

"Leave the love birds alone!" Chad told them, looking over to his twin.

Anastasia giggled, kissing his cheek "Thanks, C."

Chad smirked, saluting them before going back to eating his pizza "Of course, Ethstasia."

"Not again." Mindy groaned, tilting her head back.

Anastasia hummed. Scarlet giggled, biting her lip. Aaron, Justina, and Isabella were off at work while the rest were in Kirby's van. Sam, Simon, and Tara were with Detective Bailey waiting for the Ghostface call.

"So are we doing the phone tracing thing that never works in the movies. It'll be all, 'Keep em talking, Sam, we almost got him. Two more minutes, we almost had him.' And then he hangs up just before we can get a lock on him." Mindy sassed, leaning towards Kirby.

Anastasia and Lila rolled their eyes. Aileen rubbed her temples in annoyance, wanting the younger Meeks-Martin sibling to be quiet.

"I can trace a call in under 15 seconds." Kirby told Mindy, typing away on her computer then looking over to Mindy.

"So can our dad." Anastasia and Scarlet chuckled, looking at each other then back to Kirby.

"Kudos to Mark." Kirby replied, looking at the girls.

Ethan rested his head on Anastasia's shoulder. Aileen rubbed her arms as she cuddled up to Richie. Jason and Lauren were holding hands.

"Well, you've got them out there as bait." Mindy told Kirby, leaning closer to Kirby.

Scarlet pinched the bridge of her nose, sighing deeply. Aileen grimaced when Mindy tried to pick a fight with Kirby.

"Because the killer usually calls from somewhere nearby." Kirby told her, looking right at her.

"And you think they're safe, because it's broad daylight in a public place?" Mindy asked, tilting her head.

"Look, I am here, okay? And so is Bailey." Kirby told her, looking at her then the computer.

"This is exactly how our Uncle Randy died. Broad daylight, public place. Yanked into a van, stab, stab, stab, no more Randy." Mindy said, angrily.

"Huh." Kirby told her, looking at her.

Ethan tried to offer Cheetos to Lila and Chad. They looked at each other then to Ethan. Ethan retracted then offered some to the two people he viewed as his parents. Vince and Scarlet.

"I'm fine, babe." Scarlet smiled a bit at Ethan, tapping his nose.

Ethan giggled and leaned back, eating his Cheetos again. Vince wrapped an arm around Scarlet, kissing her head.

"Hey, Sam. Stay frosty out there, okay?" Kirby breathed out.

"Alright, that's it." Anastasia said, taking the bag of Cheetos from Ethan.

"Hey!" Ethan whined, looking over to his girlfriend.

Lila handed her wipes to Anastasia. Anastasia wiped Ethan's fingers clean. Vince took the bag of Cheetos from Anastasia, rolling his eyes.

"I wasn't finished with those!" Ethan kept whining.

"Shh." Anastasia said, kissing his cheek.

Ethan huffed in defeat. Lila gagged.

"Geo-location coming through right now. He's on the upper west side, he's inside an apartment building halfway across the city." Kirby told Sam and Tara.

Anastasia, Aileen, and Scarlet all sat up, asking at the same time as Tara "West 96?"

"How did you all know that?" Kirby asked, furrowing her brows.

"Gale and Dewey." Anastasia, Scarlet, and Aileen spoke, their bottom lips quivering.

Scarlet and Aileen exited the vans, despite Vince and Richie protesting. They got in the cop car with Sam and Tara. The four off to save Gale and Dewey.
