chapter 5

As the investigation continued, the four friends hit a dead end. They had no leads and no fresh information. Every trail they had followed led to a dead end, and it seemed as though they were never going to catch the killer.

The frustration was mounting, and Darcy, in particular, was struggling, having fallen into a bit of a slump. Bianca suggested they try out a new tactic, something more creative than just digging through old records and reviewing witness statements.

She suggested they try to create a psychological profile of the killer. She reasoned that they could create a better understanding of the murderer’s motivations and what would drive him to kill. Perhaps this approach would help them determine who the killer was on another level, beyond the evidence.

So, the four of them started to create a profile, piecing together every little detail they had uncovered, and soon they started to see patterns emerge. The killer seemed to be primarily targeting young women who had an air of confidence and power. He targeted girls who were smart and talented, aiming to destroy their sense of worth and self-esteem.

It wasn’t long before they had the information they needed to build a profile of the killer. Suddenly, all the pieces fell into place, and they realized that the murderer was none other than a disgruntled former student, Kevin Fitzpatrick.

The group knew they had to act quickly, Her life was in danger whenever Kevin was around, as he would lash out in violent ways when he was disrespected or upset.

With a newfound sense of focus and determination, the four went to the police with their findings, and in less than a day, Kevin was finally apprehended, ending his deadly spree of terror.

The friends breathed a sigh of relief, feeling both triumphant and exhausted. They had worked hard, and their efforts had finally paid off. It was a bittersweet success, as they couldn’t help but think of all of the girls who had failed to receive justice.

But for Darcy, the closure was invaluable, having learned to trust her instincts and the value of teamwork. She knew that without Bianca, Aisha, and Chloe, they would never have solved the case, and for that, she was grateful. With a newfound feeling of camaraderie, she knew that they would stay friends for life, bonded by the experience they shared.

Do the wires in your mind get sewn together

Rubbed and severed by the heat

And you don't know how long I could stare into your picture

And wish that it was meBut if you're too drunk to drive

And the music is right

She might let you stay

But just for the night

And if she grabs for your hand

And drags you along

She might want a kiss

Before the end of this song
