"I bet we can find this House" Isabella says.

"Wait a minute" Bob says.

"Yes?"

"Shouldn't you know what this House looks like."

"Well... no."

"What do you mean no!?"

"I don't know what it looks like."

"Great. Oh great. Just great. Just great."

Isabella and Bob both sigh.

"Tell me about you..." Owen says to Bob.

"Well... my name's Bob Smith, I have no siblings, my father went to jail for accidentally hitting a man, and he has lived the rest of his life in prison, but, he's dead now..."

"I'm sorry you had to go through that..."

"And my mother went to a different state in denial..."

"If you don't mind me asking, what age were you when your father got arrested?"

"17..."

"What's your age now?"

"44."

"Hmm..."

"You have a tragic past..."

"Yeah..."

"Why did you become a police officer?"

"Mainly to try to prove my father's innocent.."

"Hmm..."

"But... I wanted to become a police officer at sometime..."

"And in my first big mission, I met Eleanor Garcia, who's my police partner to this day."

"That is correct."

At the House

Luna searches for Dylan, she tries and tries, but is unable to find him.

"Wait for me" Otto says, as he rushes to Luna's side.

"I've been trying to reach up with you for a while."

"Oh. Well... my father says I'm fast."

"He's right."

"I've been trying to find Dylan for a while, now."

"I'm surprised that the murderer didn't encounter you."

"Yeah..."

"It's good that you didn't..."

"You're right."

"Wait. Stop" Luna says.

"Why?"

"I've searched everywhere, besides one place..."

"Where?"

"Follow me" Luna says, in a uncertain tone.

"Fine."

Otto follows Luna into one of the rooms. She pulls on a lever. The doors open. Luna can barely look at all the victims, dead, limp bodies, each bloodier than another. Luna looks away. Otto's heart drops into his stomach as he looks in the middle, Jake's dead, limp, body is there. Otto looks away as tears roll down his face, but Luna doesn't notice.

"I haven't checked here, so he's probably either dead or alive, in this pile of bodies."

There is silence.

Eventually, Luna and Otto decide to go in.

"I'll stay behind" Otto says.

"No, you are going with me."
