Eyyyy, yea I should probably stop writing Schlattbur, but as longs as I have ideas, this is all there is.

Explanation: Wilbur is a detective and is trying to find Schlatt, who is a Serial killer, but something about the case doesn't make sense.

TW: Weapons, Blood, Murder (this apply's for all parts of this au)

Wilbur was sitting at his desk, at 1:34 am, trying to make sense of a case he had been given.

Most of it fit together and there was a clear path, but then it started changing, in an extremely confusing way.

The tactics changed, the time in between the murders, the way the victim was killed, usually it was a knife or some sort of close range weapon that was used. Now it was long range weapons such as guns, etc.

All that combined it was like a new person was doing the killing, the only reason that hadn't been a theory though is because there was one thing the same about the new way.

A piece of paper with either a number, a letter or a small symbol.

Each time in an Envelope addressed to the detective, which was Wilbur.

He had them all laid out on his desk, trying to find out what they meant.

Until now he had 7 Envelopes, wondering what they could mean.

The symbols were:
A, Q, R, T, U, 3, <

Wilbur just couldn't understand what they meant, no matter what order he put them in, nothing made sense.

Eventually Wilbur gave up, hoping to just find more clues the next time the Ram killed someone.

He got changed and went to bed.

Wilbur woke up to his phone ringing.

He reached over to see who it was, expecting it to be no one important, but that quickly changed when he saw who it was.

It was his brother, but from his work phone, so the Ram must have gotten someone again.

He answered the phone, getting out of bed to get ready.

"Hello"
"Hello Wilbur, I assume you know why I'm calling?"
"Yea yea, the Ram was active during the night"
"Yes, please come to xxxx-xxxxxxx"
"Fine I'm coming"
"See you then"
"Yup"

His brother hung up the phone, leaving Wilbur to get ready and come over.

Ten minutes later he was at the crime seen, examining the body.

Sure it was disgusting, but he needed to know what killed them.

And just as he expected, it was a bullet in the body, multiple times.

"Seems like the classic, nothing new to work with, did you find anything Tech?"
"You know what, I think I did Wilbur"

He said, holding up and envelope, pushing it to Wilburs chest.

He started to walk past him, but stopped at his ear.

"I suggest you find him, and quick, he's finding out more and more"

Techno walked further, talking to some other officers, while Wilbur looked at the envelope confused as to what his brother meant.

He then froze, the envelope was addressed to him.

Not the detective, Wilbur Philip Soot.

How the heck does he know my name, yet alone my full name?

Was all Wilbur could ask himself.

Slowly he opened the envelope, scared to see what was inside.

Inside was a letter, addressed to him once again.

Dear Wilbur,
if you are seeing this, then find yourself lucky. I am stopping my spree, for now at least. The reason will not be said. I will continue again, so don't think I'm gone. In the meantime, have a holiday, relax yourself. You always work, and have not even put some letters in an order, I mean c'mon, it's 7 letters, how hard can it be. But fine I'll be nice, here's a tip: U R. They belong in that order at the front.
Anyway have fun and goodbye for now.
Love your dear best friend, The Ram.

Wilbur couldn't believe his eyes, the Ram was stopping, at least for now.

He finally didn't have to stay hidden away any longer. Maybe he could even visit his family or friends again.

And so that's what he did, right that evening he went to his visit his parents, to see how they've been and to catch up with his brothers.

"So do you have a boyfriend yet Wil?"

Tommy, his little brother, asked.

"No Tommy, I don't"
"You like anyone?"
"...no"
"You paused, who is it?"
"No one Tommy, mind your own business"
"Oh come on"
"Tommy! I'm not telling you!"
"Fine"

Tommy had given up, but was still convinced his brother liked someone. Then Techno chimed in.

"I could tell you Tommy"
"So he does like someone, who is it"

Wilbur gave Techno a sharp glare.

"What would I get out of it?"
"Of course you want something! Uhhh, I can give you... 20$"
"Not worth it"
"Oh come one, 30?"
"Tommy, there is as much of a chance that I'm telling you as Wilbur is. I'm not breaking someone's trust that easily. He trusted me to keep the information private, so I will"
"At least tell me if I know him?"

Techno looked over to Wilbur for confirmation, and he nodded.

"No you don't"
"Does he live here?"

Again Techno looked to Wilbur.

"No"
"Will I ever meet him?"
"Why are you asking me? Me and Wilbur have only met him once, heck he doesn't even have Wils phone number and we met him 3 weeks ago. So maybe, but ask Wilbur, as it is his lover and not mine"
"Fine"

Tommy turned back to Wilbur.

"No"
"I didn't even say anything yet"
"You we're going to ask if and when you're going to meet him. And my answer is no, and never"

Tommy walked away with a sigh.

"Did you ever get his number?"
"Yea, haven't texted him though yet, I have no clue how to start a conversation"
"Just tell him it was fun hanging out and you want to again some time"
"Maybe"

Wilbur turned back to his phone, where he had a picture of the letter the Ram had written him. He had read it nearly a hundred times by now, yet he still couldn't make sense of it.

And his biggest question of all, was

Why is the Ram pausing and where is he now?
