Vol.4 Suspects

By SpoopS/Luke








“I think I found some evidence.” Dawn said whilst still hugging Mason. “Really!?” Mason gasped. “Yeah, I went to the police office, and Louis and Charles gave me a list of people who were within a 25 mile radius of the crime scene.” Dawn said. “ If we were to go and interview all of these people, perhaps it could help us figure out who killed May.” Mason grabbed 3 of his blunts, put them into his pocket and ran out of the room. “Did you really need the weed?” Dawn asked “Yes, it’s what keeps me going.” Mason replied he jumped into Dawn’s car and put his seatbelt on. Dawn got into the driver’s seat and put the car on. “You need to put your seatbelt on.” Mason pointed out. “Jesus Christ, I’m 18 now, I don’t need some damn seatbelt.” Dawn sighed as she put her seatbelt on. “We’ll go pick up William and Josh first.” Dawn sped off to Josh’s house, as she knew William was staying there the night. She knocked on the door. Josh answered. “Sup Dawn?” He asked. “Hey Josh, we think we have a lead on the case and we were wo-“ Dawn replied. Josh slammed the door. “That was rude!” William yelled out as he opened the door. “Hey!” William said. “What were you saying about a lead?” William asked. “Forget her Will, she's spending too much time with that pothead, getting so worked up over some 9 year old.” Josh called out. Dawn was livid over that statement, not because of how he was telling William not to talk to her, but because of the way he’s talking about Mason. “You have no idea what he's going through!” Dawn shouted. “Okay Dawn... Calm down...” William said. “I think I do, I was taken away from my best friend when I was 9, Moving to Canada, it took me about a week to move on, not 3 damn months!” Josh yelled. The arguing continued. Dawn stormed off in anger and back to the car. William felt extremely guilty, whilst Josh felt no remorse. “Screw Her.” Josh grunted. William sighed and went back inside with Josh.

Dawn got into the car, she put her head against the steering wheel and burst out in tears. “Dawn... are you okay?” Mason asked. “What do you think!?” Dawn cried. “Well I’m kind of Aspergic so I can’t really tell...” Mason sighed. Dawn chuckled. She put her head his shoulder. For once, Mason didn't feel uncomfortable being touched. Dawn’s make-up began running down her face. “Why do you wear that stuff?” Mason asked. “If I didn’t less people would like me.” Dawn replied. “That’s Nonsense, We like you for your upbeat, encouraging personality.” Mason replied. “Mason...” Dawn sighed. The 2 sat there for about a minute until Dawn’s phone went off. She checked the messages. “Its William...” Dawn said. She checked the messages. “Hey, I’m really sorry for how Josh acted out there, we've been arguing since and I’ve locked myself in the bathroom. Will you come pick me up, I just want to get out of here.” “Sure thing, we're outside now.” Dawn text back. About a minute later William crawled out of one of the downstairs windows, he ran towards the car and jumped in the back seat. “Wow... You don’t smell like Pot!” William pointed out. “I haven’t had any today. I’m going to try and quit.” Mason replied. “...But you have 3 blunts in your back pocket...” Dawn pointed out. “Old habits die hard!” Mason laughed. William, Dawn and Mason really enjoyed the car ride, it was the first time all 3 of them were happy together in 3 months.

Dawn pulled up outside a house near the Cabin. “The first guy lives here, he never told the police where he was during the attack.” Dawn said. Mason got out of the car and knocked on his door. A man who looked to be in his mid 40s, opened the door, he had a messy Goatee, Tattoos all down his arm his Jeans and Jacket were torn and he wore a shirt with no sleeves, he looked extremely rough. “Can I help you?” He said with a rude tone in his voice. “H-Hi, are you Steven Jones?” Mason asked. “Yes.” The man scoffed. “We would like you to ask where you were on the night of the 23rd of January.” Mason asked. A look of terror came over the man’s face. “You can’t prove shit!” He yelled. He ran into the house and locked the door. Mason looked distraught as he went back to the car. “I-It was him...” Mason mumbled. Dawn looked at him in shock, “Seriously!?” She yelled. Mason sighed as he nodded. “He locked himself in his house, and we have no proof it was him.” Mason continued. William jumped out of the car, he banged on the door “Open up and confess!” He yelled. He threw all of his weight against the door, Mason got out and helped, while Dawn waited in the car and kept it running just to be safe, a couple minutes went by and a pickup truck parked behind Dawn. Josh got out of the car. “What are you doing!?” Josh yelled. “The guy inside is the one who killed May!” Mason yelled back. Josh looked shocked, “For real now? You're not high now right?” Josh yelled back. “He hasn’t smoked all day, try and help us!” William yelled at Josh. “Fine...” Josh sighed. Josh kicked the door once and it fell straight off its hinges. A bat swung and hit William in the face, knocking him out cold. The man ran into the house, Mason and Josh followed close behind him.

He was in the corner with a gun in his hand. “Step any closer and I'll kill both of you!” He yelled. “Why did you kill her Steven?” Mason asked. “Kill who!?” He replied. “Don’t play dumb! We know you killer May!” Josh replied. “Who the fuck is May!?” Steven shouted back. Mason stopped for a minute to think. “Where were you on that night?” Mason asked. “Alright, fine.” Steven sighed. “It was a cold winter’s night...” He said

Steven was approaching a street of houses, he stood outside one looking in. There were 2 kids, a boy and a girl. They were playing with the toys that they probably got for Christmas, the boy was about 12 and was playing on his new playstation, The girl was about 8 and was playing with a big fluffy blue teddy bear. Steven smiled. A women walked in and looked at the both, she talked to them and the 2 ran upstairs, a couple minutes later the light went out in their bedroom. Steven climbed up one of the pipes and onto the patio roof outside their room, he stared at them for a while before opening the window and going inside. He looked at the boy and smiled. He bent over and kissed the girl on her forehead. “Goodnight Sara, Good night Lewis.” He mumbled The 2 began to stir before waking up. They rubbed their eyes and yawned. Lewis looked up. “D-Dad?” He mumbled. “Daddy!” Sara Yelled out as she jumped up and hugged him. “Y-you’re not meant to be here... M-moms got a restraining order against you... You could get into trouble.” Lewis said. “I just wanted to see you 2 Lewis, I don’t want to hurt your mom.” Steven said to him. “Mom!” Lewis called out. Sara Jumped back into bed as Steven dashed out of the window. The woman walked in. “Whats wrong Lewis?” the lady asked. “D-Dad was here...” Lewis Cried. “Sara saw it to this time!” The woman stood still, with an expression of shock on her face. “Did you Sara?” She asked. Sara hesitated, “Nope Sara not see anything!” Sara Yelled back. “It was another one of your dreams Lewis, Dad loves you, but he understands that him and I can’t be together anymore.” The woman said softly to him. “B-But...” Lewis Cried. She put her finger into his slips and shushed him. “Get some rest now, you have school in the morning.” She told him. Sara was already fast asleep, Lewis couldn’t sleep that night, he wouldn’t stop thinking of Steven.

“Thats where I was on that night...” Steven sighed. “I don’t believe you.” Josh said rudely. “W-Well it’s true...” Steven replied. Josh took a picture of him on his phone. “Hey! What was that for!?” Steven yelled. “A photo for the bulletin board. “Hey Josh... I really think he’s innocent...” Mason said. “Well I don’t, I’m not letting him slip through the net, Justice for May is my top priority!” Josh yelled. I'm really Sorry Steven, I’m sure we won’t find anything.” Mason whispered to Steven. Josh and Mason were walking out of the door. Mason picked up one of Stevens shoes and looked inside of it before leaving.
William was looking at the next Suspect. “Everyone ready!? The next place we need to go to i-“ He yelled. William paused, an expression of panic came over his face. “J-Jett Howells...” William continued. “Are you okay William?” Dawn asked. “What? Y-yeah, I’m fine, just an i-interesting name is all, Jett.” William laughed, it was quite clear the laugh was a laugh of panic. “You sure, you're sweating.” Josh pointed out. “I-I’m fine!” William yelled. Dawn looked at William suspiciously in the mirror. “H-He lives around the corner.” William said. Dawn pulled up outside of a house at the start of the street. “I'll wait in the car.” William mumbled. Josh, Dawn and Mason all got out of the car, Mason knocked on the door. A boy opened the door, he looked like a movie star, Handsome, Perfect Teeth and most importantly, topless, he looked to be about 19. Dawns face went Bright red the moment they locked eyes.  “Are you Jett Howells?” Mason asked. “Yeah, that would be me.” “W-We’re here to ask you a c-couple Questions about the e-evening of January 23rd.” Dawn said just to get a chance to talk to him. “His eyes darted away for a second, he looked at the car and then looked back. “Sure, Come inside.” He said. The 3 of them sat on the sofa while Jett stayed standing. “May I get you a cup of tea? Coffee? Hot chocolate?” Jett asked. “I’ll take a hot chocolate!” Dawn replied. “I could go for some Coffee.” Mason answered. “Nah I’m Good.” Josh said. Jett went into the kitchen and then came back about 5 Minutes later. “So anyway, what did you want to ask?” Jett said while getting his shirt on. “On January 23rd where were you?” Mason asked. “I was here with my Partner.” Jett answered. “Damn it you're taken!” Dawn replied. “...And Gay...” Jett laughed. Dawns face went Bright red with embarrassment once again whilst Josh was trying to hold back his laughter. “Where would he be now?” Mason asked. “Uh... He’s Uh...” Jett replied. “Out of town... That’s right, out of town. The Pause was incredibly suspicious. “Why the Pause?” Josh asked. “I-I couldn’t think...” Jett was beginning to panic. Mason took a picture of Jett. “W-Why the picture?” Jett asked. “For the bulletin board. “I-Im not suspicious am I?” Jett asked. Mason got up “You kind of are...” He sighed. “We’re going to investigate further into the matter. “ Mason said. Mason took his mug out and left in the sink. “I-it was a pleasure meeting you...” Dawn mumbled as she took out her mug also. Josh got up and left. “Hey um... You're Mason right?” Jett said before Mason and Dawn left. “I’m really sorry about your sister, I really am, but it wasn’t me, honestly.” Jett said. “Thanks I guess?” Mason replied he looked inside of Jett’s Shoe as well. Jett looked at him confused while he walked out. Jett closed the door and got his phone out of his pocket. “I Fucked up, our covers blown.” Jett texted “Bae ♥️”

William put his phone away. And continued listing out all of the suspects. A couple hours passed and a lot of questions were asked, but finally, they returned to the Cabin. William got inside and jumped onto his sofa. And Dawn flopped onto hers. She fell asleep instantly. Josh went upstairs and into his room, while Mason went into his. They were all asleep in minutes... All except William.

The next morning everyone woke up and went into Mays old bedroom, which was also Masons room for the investigation. Mason pinned pictures of Jett and 5 other people onto the board. Josh pinned the pictures of 3 others. “This is Anna Jenkins, She claimed that she was on a date night that night, but drank a little too much... She didn’t want to go into further detail.” Mason said. “This is Andrew Floyd, He was Annie’s date, he gave us a reliable story about how he went home when Annie got drunk, but he’s on here just in case.” Josh said. “This is Michelle Johnson. She was supposedly with her... “Toyboy” that her husband doesn’t know about, but refuses to tell us who they are.” Mason continued. “This is Richard Dickerson, he was on holiday at the time, the photos he showed us we’re clearly Photoshopped.” Josh said. “Over here we have Timothy Maines, he was too drunk to remember where he was.” Mason carried on. “This is Morag Ardain, she was out shopping and shoes her obviously faked receipt.” Josh carried on. “This is Joey LeBlanc, He was out driving that day, but no cameras has picked his car up.” Mason said. Josh talked about Steven for a while. “Next we have Daisy Ridley, She claimed to have no memory of the night.” Mason continued. “And finally, we have Jett, he seemed to be lying about his story a bit, some parts didn’t add up.” A beeping came from Josh's watch “Would you look at the time!? I have to get to work!” Josh yelled as he waltzed out the room, he got his uniform on and ran off. “I-I need some alone time...” William sighed, he walked out of the house. Dawn turned to Mason and added 3 more pictures onto the Board. “Williams acting weird, as if he’s hiding something, I added me and Josh so William wouldn’t get suspicious of what we thought.” Dawn said. “Good idea, but if William need some alone time, don’t you think we should go investigate what he's doing?” Mason asked. “Good idea! He has that Snapchat map feature on remember? Josh mentioned it yesterday, we should use that to track where he’s going!” Dawn replied pulling out her phone. She looked at the map, William was approaching Jett’s house. “I knew he was hiding something!” Mason yelled.

William burst through Jett’s door. “You blew it! You absolutely Blew it!” William screamed. “I can’t believe you, I’m pretty sure they suspect me now!” “I-I’m sorry William...” Jett replied. “I knew I couldn’t hide it from them forever, but Jesus Christ, another year maybe!? “ William snapped. “You couldn’t have given them a more believable story could you!?” “...I take it Im a suspect now?” Jett said. “Yes, you are.” William began calming down. He looked at Jett and how much he had upset him. “I-Im really sorry...” William mumbled. “It’s fine, it was my fault anyway...” Jett sighed. William sat next to him and put his arm around him. “Its going to be okay...” William told Jett. “Thanks...” Jett sighed. The 2 kissed as a way to comfort each other.
