In the Eyes of Death

• 7:39 AM • The Fresco Hotel, Luke's room •

"This morning, a body was found. Bartender at Levy's bar, Finn Domek, was found laying in the middle of the road as though he was roadkill. The family is in shock as he was burned alive. Here's his sister, telling us more about him"

"Finn..he was...different. He hated being in pictures and he was always so caring. I think whoever did this is sick"

She sniffled

"Finn was the best little brother anyone could ask for"

Sasha turned the television off

"Luke, are you satisfied yet?"

He smiled wide

"Not really, I'm pretty proud of what I did and they didn't even bother showing his body"

"Because it's a tragedy, you sicko" she laughed

He gave her the look "like I'm the sicko here"

"..It was my idea, but I didn't think you'd actually use my lighter to kill him"

"Yeah, Yeah"

"By the way, how's Timothy?

He glared at her

"..Sash, I've known you for four years and sometimes I wonder if you're stupid or retarded"

She rolled her eyes "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"

"You don't deserve-"

"-To say his name...I know, Luke"

• 12:47 • Timothy's house •

Timothy had been crying all day

The police already visited him since Finn was last seen taking Timothy home

it broke him, he felt broken

The police reassured him they'll find whoever did this

But he knew that was just a routine thing and that they said that often

He called off work for the day and went to visit his mom instead

• 2:32 PM • Mr and Mrs. Wist's house •

Timothy told them everything, from how charming Ian was to how special Finn was to him.

"Baby, I promise you, it's not the end of the world"

"Sure fucking feels like it"

He started crying and his dad pulled him into a hug

"Son, we love you, and your mom is right. It's not the end of the world and earth is still spinning"

"I know, but...I'm right too, sure fucking feels like it"
