(i don't know about you, but i'm feeling 22...)

Addy sat in the waiting room, hearing Sam sigh as they stared at the photo evidence of the incident at the bodega. Bailey, Quinn's dad, walked into the room, and the three women sat up, suddenly paying attention.

He held up a Ghostface mask, the one that was left behind by the killer. "This was found next to the body at the apartment crime scene," He said, laying it down at the table beside the photos, "DNA says it belongs to someone named Richie Kirsch." The three women looked at each other nervously, "Does that ring a bell?"

"We're familiar with him." Sam said.

"But the one who attacked us had a different mask on." Tara said, "It was kinda more beat up. Like it was older."

"Uh... I gotta ask, do you have alibis for earlier tonight?" Bailey asked.

"I was at a party with my friends." Tara said.

"I was at my therapist's." Sam confirmed.

"Yeah, I was home with Quinn, baking, and then I met Sam and Tara." Addy said. She didn't trust this guy, he was putting the blame on other people to quickly.

"I can give you his information. You can call to check if you want." Sam continued, "And then I met Tara at that party, where I tased someone." Bailey looked at Sam questioningly, "Unrelated."

"Maybe don't tell the police you have a taser?" Addy suggested, "Wait, you tased someone? Who di-" Sam cut her off by placing a gentle hand on her knee, something that didn't go unnoticed by Tara.

"Was that before or after this happened?" Bailey asked. He lifted up his phone to show a video of Sam after the drink got spilled on her, the vidoe thankfully cutting off before Addy came in.

"Before." Sam said.

"The point is, we were with people all night." Tara reminded him.

"So, our roommate's dad just happened to pull our case." Sam said suspiciously.

"That'd be a crazy coincidence, right?"

"Cuh-razy." Addy said in a sing-song voice, spinning in her chair.

"The detective who had the case, he offered it to me because it involves Quinn." Bailey said, a little too quickly for Addy's liking, "But I can totally give it back if you're uncomfortable. It's up to you."

The three women looked at each other, "It's fine." Sam said.

"So if the man who attacked you did steal your license and plant it next to the body, it'd probably be someone close to you." Bailey said, setting down Sam's license that was found at the apartment, "How long have you known your friends?"

"Well, we moved here with Mindy and Chad for the summer semester, like, six months ago." Tara replied, "So, Quinn, um, Ethan, Anika - all since then."

"Quinn and Anika wouldn't do this - Ethan, I'm not too sure about." Addy said defensively.

"I think I can vouch for Quinn, so that's one less we have to worry about." Bailey agreed, although Addy could sense the tenseness when she said Ethan's name, "Do any of you have anyone that might want to target you?"

"Not anyone who's still alive." Tara replied darkly.

"My dad, but I haven't talked to him since I was like five, and I don't know what he'd have against me, so..." Addy said, trailing off. She had never talked about her dad before, only ever wit Danny or Kirby, so it was strange for Sam and Tara to hear her talk about him.

"Yikes." Bailey replied to both their statements. 

All of a sudden, the door to the interview room opened, a police officer standing there."FBI's here, claiming jurisdiction." The cop said.

"Where are they?" Bailey asked, standing up and leaving the room. Sam sighed, and threw her head back, and Tara rubbed her forehead, sighing also. The three women, eventually left the room, Sam and Tara walking first, Addy after them.

"Kirby?" Addy heard Sam say, and she tried to peer over her shoulder, although she couldn't see.

"Hey, Sam." She heard a very familiar blonde's voice say, and she pushed her way through the two sisters to bring her own sister into a bone-crushing hug. After letting go, Kirby walked forward to bring Sam into a hug, and rubbed her hand up and down Tara's arm.

"You're the FBI?" Sam asked.

"You guys know each other?" Bailey asked, bewildered.

"Yeah. We went to Woodsboro High together. She was a senior when I was a freshman. She's also my- Addy's sister." Sam told him.

"Wait a minute, I thought you were Jill Roberts' sister?" Bailey asked Addy, who shrugged her shoulders in respone.

"We share a certain history, yeah." Kirby finished, "Look, I'm not trying to get into a jurisdictional pissing contest here, I just want to help. I'll show you mine et cetera." She handed Bailey a rather big file, and Addy looked at her curiously.

A man came up to Bailey, handing him another evidence bag on top of his file. "He left this mask at the bodega. DNA traces of two individuals, Charlie Walker and Jill Roberts, both deceased."

"Yeah, and it was not pretty." Addy scoffed, remembering how Charlie died. Kirby sent her a glare, which immediately shut her up, and Sam scoffed at the look on Addy's face.

"The Ghostface killers of 2011." Kirby said, taking the bag off of him. She lifted up her shirt, showing the scar she got, "Charlie Walker gave me this." 

Addy then lifted up her own shirt, showing her own thin scar that she got from Olivia's room, it almost matching Kirby's, if hers wasn't so thin.

"Like I said, I take a special interest." Kirby said, "Is this the mask he was wearing when he attacked you?"

All three of them shook their heads. "So he's leaving them on purpose." Bailey said.

"Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner." Addy mumbled sarcastically, which, again, caused Kirby to glare at her, although this time Addy glared right back.

"Which means whoever's doing this is a student of the killer's who came before." Kirby continued for Bailey, "Maybe he believes Sam is the latest in a long line."

"Yeah, good luck with that." Sam basically scoffed, "We're getting out of town."

Sam began to walk off, although Addy stopped when they reached her sister, already knowing what was to come.

"I'm sorry, that's not possible." Bailey informed the two sisters who were determined to leave, "You're both persons of interest in a double homicide, so you're not allowed to leave town. Sorry."

"Are you serious?" Tara asked.

"He's right." Kirby confirmed, "But if we work together-"

"We're going." Sam said, and she and Tara began to walk off yet again.

"Why didn't you call?" Kirby demanded, turning to Addy with her hands on her hips. Bailey walked away, sensing he wasn't wanted anymore.

"Why do you act like you're in charge of me all the time?" Addy asked, mimicking Kirby's stance.

"Wel, your actual mom died, our parents were always away on some business trip, so it was basically my job to raise you! So I would like to know when some psycho attacks in a bodega, I want to know!"

Addy stopped then, dropping her hands, and pulling Kirby in for another hug, which she returned.

"I'm going to catch up with them, but I'll call you when I get home, okay?" Addy assured her when she pulled away, and Kirby nodded, letting Addy run off to catch up with her girlfriend and her sister.
