Brad wakes up with a loud knock on his door
He grabs his pants and wears them as he walks out of their room.
"Wait!" Brad rubs his eyes as he opens the door.
"Hi, I'm detective Laryne Chase and I'm here for the murder of Kyle Barnes" Laryne says as she shows him her badge.
"What?!" Brad looks at her confusely.
"I'm here to talk to you about the murder of Kyle Barnes, you get that?"
"My friend Kyle Barnes?"
"Obviously Mr. Alwin, we would not come to you if you don't know the Kyle we're talking about"
"Kyle is alive"
"Unfortunately, he's not"
"That's a fucking lie, He's alive!" Brad tries hard not to cry as he argues.
"I'm so sorry Mr. Alwin" Laryne sighs.
"How, uhm... How did he die?"
"He was murdered"
"Murdered? By who?"
"That's why we're here to investigate Mr. Alwin, your friends are already at the station... Care if you join us?" Laryne asks.
"Sure" Brad nods.
"What's going on here?" Hope asks as she gets out of the room.
"Kyle is dead" Brad sighs.
"Oh my god" Hope looks at Brad with concern.
She walks towards him and hugs him from behind.
"I'm still processing" Brad cries.
"When did this happen?" Hopes asks.
"Last night, The landlady found the body early this morning. She came for the rent and she grew concern because nobody answered her and the shower was running" Laryne answers.
"Oh my god"
"I'm needed at the station" Brad sighs.
"But you're innocent, You were with me last night"
"I'm sorry Mrs. Alwin but everybody is a suspect... Even though your husband is innocent, we still need him for questioning"
"I'll be back baby" Brad smiles as he kisses his future wife.
"Be careful" Hope hugs Brad tight.

Brad enters the police station and he sees Justin and Joseph sitting next to each other on a bench.
He smiles at them but they are too sad to smile back.
The door opens and Hayden comes out of the office.
They can really tell that he's crying because of how red he is.
They can't blame him though, of the four of them Hayden is the weakest.
And if Michelle can outweigh Kyle and kill him brutally, it's easy for her to kill him.
That is if Michelle was really the one who killed Kyle.
"Are you okay?" Brad asks Hayden.
Hayden tries to smile which makes Brad smile too.
"I'm scared Brad" He cries.
"Relax Hayden, this has nothing to do with Michelle, You know Kyle, that idiot has a lot of enemies... They're probably the ones who are responsible" Brad tries to calm Hayden.
