Narrator:        Sam and Dave were interrogating Geroge, one of the prison guards during Hayley's murder, Reza calls them to return to HQ immediately. He finally salvaged the contents of the tapes. Sam and Dave rush back to the station. When they arrive, they walk over to Reza's desk where Nikhil, Mirasol, and even Captain Beckham is staring at Reza's monitor. Dave:    (shocked)    We came here as fast as we could. Wow! If even the Captain is watching, this only means that this must be something big. Narrator:        Captain Beckham looks up and glares at Dave. Captain Beckham:    (angry)    If you are now quite done being surprised of my participation, this case won't resolve itself if you just stand there. Captain Beckham:    (down)    After watching this video, I am having doubts that there are any hope to get to the end of this case. Captain Beckham:    (neutral)    However, I have faith in you all, so don't disappoint me. I'll leave this to you Reyes and Massey. Narrator:        Captain Beckham walks back to her office and closes the door. Dave:    (happy)    Well at least she finally has more faith in us compared to the first time she met you Massey. Sam:    (down)    Please, don't remind me. Nikhil:    (happy)    Ugh!! Stop with the sweetness already! Get over here and watch this video. Dave:    (angry)    There is no sweetness going on here! Nikhil:    (neutral)    Yeah, yeah! Just watch already. Narrator:        Sam and Dave share a look and rushes over to Reza's desk. Reza:    (down)    Brace yourselves. This will be a whole new level of craziness for you. Narrator:        Reza hits play. On the screen, it shows Hayley's cell with her inside pacing. At one of the corners of the room, you can see George at his desk sipping coffee. Sam:    (neutral)    That's the guy we met at the hospital. Dave:    (down)    Drinking the drugged coffee. Narrator:        As George was reading a newspaper, he abruptly lookes at another direction. (Suddenly he shouts) George:    (angry)    Hey! What's going on over there?! Narrator:        He stands up and walks to the direction he was looking. Suddenly he puts a hand on his head and collapses. Dave:    (down)    It's exactly how he described it at the hospital. Reza:    (down)    Dave, you might pay attention on the next scene. Narrator:        Right after Reza says that, Clifford comes into view walking towards Hayley... Following right behind him, is another person wearing a black suit with a white polo inside and a black necktie. In addition, He was wearing a Drama Mask and carrying a long grey suitcase. Sam:    (shocked)    Who in the hell's name is that!? George never mentioned the presence of another person in that holding area! Right Dave? Sam:    (down)    Dave? Narrator:        Dave doesn't hear Sam, his face pales. He stares at the masked man. The world around him freezes and blurs. He suddenly remembers the day that his mother was murdered. He remembers the masked man mercilessly shooting his mother. Reza:    (shocked)    I was shocked too when I saw him earlier. A sudden appearance of a new antagonist in the story. That will look great for my script. Nikhil:    (down)    I'm pretty sure that someone who looks like an agent from Men in Black wearing a drama mask smells trouble. Reza:    (shocked)    He looks more like Slender Man! Nikhil:    (happy)    That's a good one. Let's give him that nickname. Mirasol:    (angry)    If you two won't shut up I will personally cut open your heads and replace your brains with a dog's! Narrator:        Nikhil and Reza became quiet and gulps. Mirasol:    (angry)    Got it? Narrator:        Nikhil and Reza nods their heads real fast. Dave wakes up from his daze and shakes his head. Dave:    (happy)    Can't believe I'm saying this, but thank you Mirasol for screaming. Sam:    (down)    You sure you're okay Dave? Dave:    (neutral)    It's nothing. I was caught off-guard that's all. Sam:    (neutral)    I'll take your word for it. Narrator:        They both look back to the computer screen where Nikhil rewinds to the parts they missed. Dave notices that Sam's face is only inches from him. He stares at her but she doesn't notice; eyes focused on the video. Then a slight scream was heard on the video. He jerks his gaze towards the screen. On the video, Slender Man and Hayley appear to be on a heated discussion. The team can hear faintly what they are saying. Hayley:    (angry)    I will make sure everyone knows your secret! My daddy might be dead but once I am out of here, I'll put a bullet in your  head myself! Slender Man:    (happy)    Famous last words from the "great" Hayley Tull. Oh! pardon me, I meant Hayley Rose. Narrator:        Hayley tries to claw him but Slender Man backs away in time. He laughs at her useless effort. Slender Man:    (happy)    I'm afraid our little kitty here can't claw her way out this one. Am I right Clifford? Clifford:    (neutral)    Yes Elder. Slender Man:    (neutral)    Well unfortunately for this kitten, she bit the hand that fed her. Narrator:        Slender Man opens up the suitcase and pulls out a familiar sword. Sam:    (angry)    That's the sword we found! Reza:    (down)    I think I will look away now. I don't want to see this scene a second time. Narrator:        Sam and Dave watched intensely as Slender Man takes out the sword and see Hayley puts her hand on her mouth. Hayley:    (down)    Wh-wh-what are you doing? What is that for? Slender Man:    (happy)    My dear little kitten, you should have realized by now what is going to happen to you. Slender Man:    (angry)    You betrayed the Knights of Gabriel! You broke the oath you swore you would take to your grave! With the Executioner's Sword, judgment is upon you for the sin you have committed! Hayley:    (down)    I... Please... Forgive... Me.. Narrator:        Hayley backs away from the cell's bars out of view from the camera. Slender Man:    (happy)    Little kitten do not be frightened. You will meet Gabriel in heaven for his final judgment. We will just be making sure you get there faster. Narrator:        Slender Man gives the sword to Clifford. Slender Man:    (happy)    Now my boy. This is a mementous day for you. Show Gabriel your faith by performing the ritual for cleansing the traitors. Narrator:        Clifford hesitates and slightly backs away. Clifford:    (shocked)    You mean murder her? But... I... It is wrong.... Slender Man:    (neutral)    Wrong? Narrator:        Slender Man backhands Clifford making him fall to the ground. Sam grits her teeth watching the scene. Dave grips Reza's chair strongly, and they continue watching. Slender Man:    (angry)    And what that trecherous Witch did was not wrong?! She nearly jeopardized the Knights! Our entire family! You dare hesitate to avenge them?! Clifford:    (down)    Forgive me Elder. I... I don't....why it should be me? Narrator:        Slender Man pats Clifford's shoulder and hands him the sword. Slender Man:    (happy)    For you are  the chosen one my boy. And cleansing her will be rewarding for both of you. Narrator:        Slender Man leans in and whispers something to Clifford. He looks into the sword with determination, and than he opens her cell. Moments later...blood splashes on the walls. Clifford appears in view but covered in blood. Sam:    (shocked)    What the hell just happened there?! Dave:    (shocked)    Reza can you rewind it back to that scene where he was whispering, and enhance the sound's quality? Narrator:        Reza rewinds and increases the volume. The sound is slightly clearer, but the words can't be deciphered. Nikhil:    (down)    We replayed this earlier too. It sounds gibberish to me. Sam:    (neutral)    Reza, don't you have anything, any fancy tools that can capture the words in videos? Reza:    (shocked)    Whoa! I didn't even think of that! Sam you are genius! Sam:    (happy)    Always love hearing that. Dave:    (neutral)    Can we finish this video first? We're not done with it yet. Narrator:        Slender Man stands outside the cell, but his gaze remains focused on the carnage. Clifford walks out from Hayley's cell completely covered in blood. He grips the sword tighter than before. Slender Man:    (happy)    Well done my child. Gabriel is looking down to you and smiling Narrator:        Clifford falls to his knees and cries loudly. Clifford:    (down)    I never wanted to kill when I joined the Knights of Gabriel. I wanted the power that was given. The Elixir made me feel alive more than anything I have experienced. Clifford:    (angry)    Killing anyone was never in my mind! You made me kill her! Narrator:        Slender Man sighs loudly and takes out a rope from his suitcase then quickly wraps it around Clifford's neck with a suffocating grip. Slender Man:    (angry)    She is a threat to our cause! And you dare question the cleansing ritual?! Then you are a traitor to the Knights as well! You are tainted!! Narrator:        Slender Man tightens the rope even more. After much thrashing, Clifford becomes motionless. Slender Man stands-up straight then fixes the wrinkles on his suit. He puts the rope in the suitcase. He then carries Clifford over his shoulder with one hand and carries the suitcase with the other one. He looks around and his gaze catches the cameras turned to his direction. He walks away and then a few moments later the camera goes off. Reza:    (down)    He probably shut off the cameras after that. Narrator:        Everyone goes quiet trying to process what they just saw. Sam scratches her head irritably and positions herself to flip Reza's desk. Sam:    (angry)    This is so frustrating! We are getting more questions than answers here! Narrator:        Dave puts his hands on her shoulder and pulls her away quickly. Dave:    (shocked)    Whoa, whoa! Someone needs to calm down! Reza:    (shocked)    Why do people enjoy flipping my table?! Narrator:        Sam relaxes to Dave's hold. Sam:    (down)    Sorry, this is just getting irritating. We've been at it for two days, but we are not getting alot of answers. Sam:    (angry)    This whole time we thought Clifford killed himself, when in fact there is this masked man in a suit whose personality goes 180 degress in a split second! Not only strangling the guy to death, obviously he is the one who hanged him too. Mirasol:    (neutral)    Agreed. He shows signs of hot-headedness but can compose himself right after his outbursts. When not triggered, he has full control of his emotions. I'll have to redraw Clifford's profile and add in this new suspect. Mirasol:    (down)    Work just keeps piling up. Dave:    (down)    Not to mention there are supposed to be dozens of guards at that prison during that day but obviously from what we have seen on the video, only George, Luke and Clifford were there. Dave:    (neutral)    We will have to go back to speak to George, in order to learn more details on that. Sam:    (down)    This is really starting to stress me. Dave:    (happy)    Would a massage help? Narrator:        Sam stares at Dave's hand on her shoulder. Sam:    (happy)    Are you suggesting that you will do it? Narrator:        Dave raises his hands up flustered. Dave:    (shocked)    I didn't mean myself! I was suggesting you should relax. Nikhil:    (down)    You only worry about Sam. What about us? We've been working our butts off non-stop too! Mirasol:    (down)    Favoritism is a problem in this modern society. Reza:    (down)    I need a massage too! I've been sitting here for hours! Mirasol:    (neutral)    In all seriousness Dave, morale is on an all-time low. Nikhil:    (down)    I haven't stopped since the party at Cassandra's place. Narrator:        Dave sighs and looks at Sam. Dave:    (neutral)    What do you say Massey? Want a little ice-breaker? Narrator:        Suddenly Sam's stomach growls loudly. Dave chuckles. Dave:    (happy)    Your stomach has always been honest. Sam:    (happy)    Yeah, yeah! at least I don't have to sugar coat my answer. Narrator:        Dave claps his hands and says. Dave:    (happy)    Alright people! Let's all go out for some dinner. My treat. Narrator:        Everyone cheers and gets their things. Nikhil:    (neutral)    I know this new bar that recently opened. They serve great food and drinks. I'll text you Dave the address. Nikhil:    (happy)    Good thing you got my car back to me in one piece. I'll take Mirasol and Reza. You and Sam can go together. Narrator:        Nikhil smirks at Dave and winks. Dave glares at him as he walks out. Sam:    (happy)    What are you waiting for Cufflinks? Show me more of this LA hospitality you are so proud of. Narrator:        Dave watches Sam walks briskly out the door. He smiles despite himself. Before following the rest of the team, he walks to Captain Beckham's office and knocks on her door. Captain Beckham:    (neutral)    Come in. Narrator:        Dave enters her office. Dave:    (neutral)    Hey Captain, me and the team are going out to grab a bite. You want to come with us? Captain Beckham:    (neutral)    Thank you for the offer Reyes but I will be heading home later. I haven't been there for awhile. We all need a break for sure. Dave:    (happy)    I understand. Don't let them think you abandoned them. Captain Beckham:    (happy)    Never. Not in a million years. Captain Beckham:    (neutral)    I'll see you tomorrow Reyes. Dave:    (neutral)    See you Captain. Narrator:        "Dave gives her a salute and closes the door.
