WHEN THE GIRLS Got to the apartment one Ghostface was on top of Gale the other on top of Dewey.

"Hey, fuckfaces!" Scarlet and Sam exclaimed at the same time.

The one on top of Dewey, tilted their head at him "It's an honor."

Scarlet shot at the Ghostface on top of Dewey. He fell back then ran off. Aileen covered her mouth, holding onto her cousin. The other Ghostface ran off afterwards. Scarlet and Aileen rushed over to Dewey while Sam and Tara rushed over to Gale.

"Dewey.." Scarlet started to cry, trying to keep Dewey awake.

Aileen shook her head, sniffling "Dewey.."

Dewey held their hands, coughing "He didn't get me, okay? He didn't get me..."

Scarlet let the tears stream down her face, kissing Dewey's forehead. Aileen looked away, letting the tears fall down her cheeks. Two paramedics helped up Scarlet and Aileen. Scarlet held onto Sam, shaking her head.

"I got you, Scarlet. I got you.." Sam muttered, rubbing Scarlet's back.

Aileen shook her head, wrapping an arm around Tara "What are we supposed to do?"

Tara sighed, looking down at her feet "We have to get the others to the hospital.."

Scarlet nodded, looking at Sam "You alright?"

Sam shrugged, wiping a lose tear "I'll be fine."

Scarlet stuck out her pinky, tilting her head. Sam stuck out hers, lacing it with the older Prescott. The two women kissed their thumbs to secure their promise.

THE GANG MINUS Detective Bailey and Kirby all sat in the waiting room of the hospital. Anastasia sat with her head in her hands. Scarlet was sobbing in Vince's arms. Aileen rested her head on Richie's shoulder. Richie rubbed Aileen's arms.

Ethan sat next to her "Who was she to you?"

"My godmother, Dewey was my godfather." Anastasia sniffed.

"I'm sorry." Ethan said, holding her hand.

Anastasia rested her head on his shoulder. Chad awwed.

"Shut up, Chad." Ethan told him, blushing.

Chad placed his hands on Ethan's shoulders "Sorry, honey."

Ethan rolled his eyes, playfully. Danny came running into the hospital with Arianna following close behind. Lila and Anastasia looked at each other then Danny.

"Hey. We got here as fast as I could." Danny said, panting.

Anastasia looked over to Mindy. Arianna squatted in front of Scarlet, rubbing her leg, comfortingly.

"How are they?" Arianna asked, softly.

Scarlet sniffled, looking down at her hands "D-dewey almost died.."

Vince kissed her head, rocking her "Hey, hey, breathe. I got you. I got you."

Aileen looked up at Richie, sniffling. Richie kissed her head, comfortingly.

"I'm scared, you guys. I really don't want to get hurt again." Mindy stated, looking around to everyone.

"Neither do I." Chad agreed.

"Me neither." Lila, Lauren, and Anastasia spoke up in unison.

"I don't want you four getting hurt again, either." Mindy said looking at Anastasia, Chad, and Lila.

"I know, I know." Chad told her, resting his head on her knee.

Tara, Lila, and Anastasia all sat closer to Mindy.

"So, what do we do now?" Chad asked, looking over to Sam.

"Maybe he gets to win this time. He wants to punish me, Vince, Aileen, and Scarlet. Us. So, maybe we let him. We'll just give ourselves up. If this is what we have to do to keep you safe, it's worth it." Sam told everyone.

"No, we're not doing that, Sam. Alright, you went back to Woodsboro to protect me. Every single you day, you make the decision to protect me, none of us would even be alive if it weren't for you. You have to let us protect you this time." Tara stood up and walked over to Sam.

Lauren looked over to Vince "I might be this ungrateful little shit, but you put your life on the line for me. I've been pushing you away for so long, that I never realized that you are what I envisioned Leslie to be like."

Vince kissed her head, smiling a bit "Thanks, Laur. Means a lot to me."

"Actually, we're a family." Lila and Mindy corrected, standing up.

"Let's go! The Avengers! Come on." Chad clapped, standing up.

Anastasia kissed Ethan's cheek then stood next to Chad. All of them put their hands on top of each other.

"Avengers what?" Danny asked, putting his hand in the pile.

"It's an us thing." Chad said, pushing Danny to the side.

Danny chuckled, awkwardly. Arianna kissed Danny's cheek, giggling.

"He's gonna keep coming after us." Sam said, looking at everyone.

"I-isn't there somewhere safe we can just hole up in?" Ethan and Jason asked in unison.

Anastasia cupped his cheek and stroked it softly. Ethan kissed her palm. Richie looked over to Jason and Ethan, shaking his head.

"He's just gonna keep finding us." Tara and Aileen told Ethan and Jason.

Ethan moved Anastasia's hand off his cheek, holding it "Great."

Richie raised a brow, looking around to everyone "We could use that though."

Scarlet sat up, looking over to Richie "He's got a point."

Aileen kissed Richie's cheek, smiling "Nice one, babe."

Richie kissed her head, smiling back. Scarlet got her phone out and dialed Wayne's number.

"Detective Kincaid, to what do I owe the pleasure?" Wayne questioned.

Scarlet put the phone on speaker "We have a plan to lure Ghostface to a secure location."

"I'm getting my ass chewed out for not dropping the case and now you want me to do what?" Detective Bailey questioned her.

Scarlet sighed, rubbing her forehead "We wanna lure him to a secure location and trap him inside."

"And then what?" He asked her in a curious tone.

Scarlet raised a brow, smiling a bit "We execute him. Are you gonna help us?"

"Let's kill this son of a bitch. Now, I'm stuck here, but Gale and Dewey gave us the keycards to the theater. It's got heavy surveillance, security cameras, but we can use that against him. I'll tell Kirby to meet you there. I'll join you as soon as I can." Detective Bailey told her.

"Got it." Aileen nodded, looking around at everyone.

"And remember, travel in public. The more people around you, the less chance he has to take a shot at you before you get there." Detective Bailey told the group.

Scarlet hung up, looking around to everyone "So, tonight we get some rest then we go out and we go to the shrine and we catch that fuckface."

Everyone nodded in agreement. They better win, again.
