"He didn't do this, we need to find that third car and probably put some police presence around his house" Harry says as he and Scott make their way into the office again.

"What changed your mind?" Scott asks as he sits down behind the desk

Harry sighs

"I don't know, my gut really, we have a few more things to follow up" Harry says as he looks towards the white board.

"We need to figure out if the third car planned the whole thing, my gut is telling me it's a setup and the real killer had been framing Stanley Green this whole time" Harry says

"I'm leaning that way too, just why? And why start his killings in London and move to Windsor Peaks?" Scott says curiously

"There hasn't been a murder like London here though, maybe the killer knew we were honing in on Stanley and realised he didn't like it, wanted to take the credit for it all. His psychosis wouldn't allow him to let someone else take the credit for his handy work" Harry says deep in thought.

"Let's go over our victims" Scott says

"Jeremy Vent, Male, 22, grew up in London, lived in Ardent Orphanage from age 8, until he was adopted age 10, went on to go to university in London"

"Joshua Lindt, Male, 24, also lived in Ardent Orphanage, left at age 18 and worked at the coffee shop on Morph Street London, until his death"

"George Gone, Male, 22, also lived in Ardent Orphanage until age 18, before heading to university to do teaching"

"And lastly Rhys Holmes, 23, also attended the orphanage but was also adopted age 11"

"Well we know they all lived in the orphanage and that's our link, now though, we throw Louis into the mix, these boys would have all lived in the orphanage at the same time" Scott says

"So this is something to do with Louis, he's either the killer and working his way through the orphanage or.....he's the next target" Harry says

"Maybe the killer was in the orphanage as well, maybe he has some vendetta against the boys" Scott says

"Well, George, Joshua and Louis, weren't adopted out, so we can rule that out as motive" Harry says

"The list of names from the time Louis attended until he left is extensive, let's start there, track down as many boys as we can and get whereabouts on them all" Scott says

Harry nods and they get to work, trying to figure this out before there's another victim.

....

Louis manages to calm himself down and turns the TV on to distract himself. He gets a call from Drew on the landline phone about half an hour later.

"Hey Kiddo, how you holding up?" Drew asks sincerely

"I'm okay" Louis sighs out.

"We're taking you to Nick's tonight, I'll pick you up at 6" Drew says

"I don't really feel like going out D" Louis says sadly

"We know and that's why we're taking you out, Noah said you have hardly eaten in three days. Be ready by 6, see you then" Drew says and Louis can hear the smirk in his voice.

Drew doesn't give Louis time to reply before he hangs up. Louis supposes it wouldn't be so bad to go out for a little while.

Louis dresses in black skinny jeans and a pastel yellow sweater, both are to big and his sweater falls off his collarbones nicely.

Drew turns up and hugs Louis close

"Everything is going to be okay, I promise" Drew tells Louis

"I wish I could believe you" Louis says quietly.
