"He's my brother. You can either let me be or throw me in there, but I'm gonna see my brother." I scream as I push the guard away and I see Jason standing behind bars 

"I'm sorry, Megs. I'm so sorry." he sobs 

"You've have nothing to be sorry for. I wish I got here sooner, before you
went and confessed to something." I sigh grabbing his hand 

"I don't even remember doing any of it." he says crying

"Jason, you need to shut up, okay? 'Cause I'm real close to finding out who the real killer is." I whisper and he looks up at me in shock. 

"His name's Drew Marshall. He had a sister named Cindy, and I think he killed her. Strangled her just like Maudette and Dawn and Amy." I say as Sookie walks into the room 

"I know you wanna help me, but that's only 'cause you can't accept the truth. I'm a murderer. And I'm going to hell. Plain and simple." he cries and I look at Sookie who stares in shock 

Run 

The voice says but I ignore it. 

"You aren't hearing me. I know who the killer is." I screech 

"Listen to me, don't be stupid." he shouts banging on his cell and I see Andy walk in 

"What's your problem?" Andy says 

"Make them go away.  Please, just get them out of here." Jasons says and Andy sighs before he grabs my arm 

"Now, you heard him. Zoo's closed." he hisses and I laugh like a mad woman 

"Did you get the fax from the Bunkie police department about Drew Marshall, the man who's probably the real killer? You are one hell of a sorry excuse for a cop and a human being, Andy, and it's just a matter of time before everyone knows it." I growl before ripping my arm away from his grip and storming out. Later that day I walk into work and Sam comes up to me straight away 

"What are you doing here?" Sam asks and I sigh 

"I got the lunch shift." I say quickly 

"With everything going on with Jason, I figured you'd take the day off." he states and I scoff 

"I'm not staying home and hiding, having people think I'm ashamed. Besides, I'm gonna need all the money I can get to hire a p. i. Drew Marshall is somewhere in this town. Who knows how many times he's sat in one of those booths, looked me in right in the eye and ordered a burger and fries." I say and Sam sighs 

"Yeah, but wouldn't you have felt him?" He asks 

"Wouldn't you've smelled him?" I snap and he nods and I start to get to work but halfway through my shift I start to feel uneasy 

Run The voices say again for the second time today 

"You good Megs?" Sam asks placing a hand on my shoulder and I sigh shaking my head 

"I need to go home" I whisper and he nods 

"Alright go" he says and I nod running towards my car once I sit in the car I try to start the engine but it doesn't work 

"Shoot, darn it! Son of a mother!" I scream slamming my hands against the wheel when it won't turn on 

"Everything all right?" Rene says scaring the shit out of me 

"Just a... a little car trouble, that's all." I say trying to keep my cool he smiles 

"Want me to take a look?" He asks and I nod which causes him to smirk at me before he starts checking out the car and I open the door to lean on the car 

"Don't tell anybody, but I don't know much about cars." he says laughing 

"Thanks for trying." I reply 

"Why don't you let me give you a ride home? I'll get my buddy Hank at Auto Haven to take a look on my way back." he says and I nod 

"That's so kind of you, Rene." I reply and we get int the car together I watch as he turns on the radio 

"I can't believe Jason gave you his truck." I say laughing and he nods 

"I know, right? I tried talking him out of it. He wasn't hearing it, though.
Buckle up, now." he says leaning over me to buckle my seat belt 

Run Run Run 

I block the thoughts out as we come to the house 

"It's hotter in here than hell on a Sunday." Rene says as we enter the house
