   Katherine, Joseph, and Rebbie are currently seated in the police station late at night. They were just informed about Michael's arrest. Katherine sat there shaking her head in disappointment—while Jospeh sat there already knowing this was to come

The officer comes back into the room and sits on the seat across from them. He folds his arms and connects a hard glare to them, catching their attention immediately. "So what is it? What really happened?" Katherine impatiently asks before the officer could say anything

He holds out a lap top, sliding it to their view . "Your son murdered Scott Anderson." He simply said. It's all he has said, and the repetition was getting nerve racking

Rebbie exhales. "Do you have proof? That's what you guys have been saying since we got here."

"Take a look at this. This is a video of Michael beating Scott to death." He says, and the 3 of them leaned into the laptop, watching with watchful eyes.

They watched a bit closer at the video of Michael brutally kicking and punching Scott with no mercy. Scott is seen to be lying on the hard concrete ground, taking his final breaths as Michael wipes his lip, looking down at Scott with a look that everyone knows too well

Katherine closes her eyes, she can't watch anymore. The brutality she never knew existed in her son. "Turn it off." She softly orders, turning her head the opposite direction

"The security footage was found behind an abandoned hardware store at which it happened. Scott's body has been rotting there for months."

A shiver runs down Katherine's back as she realizes that this happened all the way back to when Scott was first declared missing. It was Michael all along. For months.

"What's gonna happen to him?" Rebbie asks, clearing her throat afterwards. This was one of her biggest fears. She knew Michael wouldn't get his life together anytime soon.

He sighed and looked around the room before answering. "He's not going to jail." The officer says. They all look up at him with furrowed brows—confused brows at that

"What?" Jospeh asks looking up from the ceiling, praying to God his sentence won't be severe

"He's going to the Asylum for the criminally insane." He adds and they all look at each other

"Is that better than jail?" They thought

"He's gonna be in a mental institution basically?" Rebbie clarifies, squinting her eyes

He nods his head. "The judge ruled him as unstable. He's not a stable person. He was not in his right mind. He needs assistance immediately. He might be too dangerous to keep in a jail cell."

They're relieved that he's finally going to get some help, but he may never have the same life again.

Meanwhile, Hayden has also gotten the news. She's currently at Aliyah's house with the rest of her family. She had no words. She's in pure shock.

She tries not to let the tears that threaten to fall from her eyes fall. Her eyes sting from the feeling. She sat there on the couch, staring at the floor with watery eyes. Her throat is dry and she wants to so badly break down. But she keeps it together

"I fucking told y'all. I told y'all it was him. An nobody believed me. Nobody fuckin believed me. I was right all along!" Aliyah exclaims as she sat in solitude on the couch across from Hayden.

She had been crying nonstop, mainly because Scott was her best friends. She was angry, and at Hayden for subtle reasons

All of her cries were echos to Hayden's ears. It's all being drowned out by her own thoughts. Her brain is trying so hard to process all this. But it just can't
