Kurt is pretty sure that Blaine is upset that he didn’t tell his parents. He tried to explain to Blaine his thoughts on the possible dangers involved in telling them. Although Blaine understood, he still didn’t agree with keeping them in the dark. Kurt hopes this doesn’t get in between their relationship, it was weird already adding more tension would not be beneficial.

Kurt stared at the woods on the other side of the street, trying to peer into it’s darkness. The darkness concealed everything beyond the first few trees, Kurt could only imagine what were pass them. Maybe he watched too many scary movies but the thought of hidden creatures scared him.

"Was that... Was that a shoe?" Blaine asked suddenly.

Kurt whipped his head to the back to see the lone shoe in the middle of the road. "I guess it is."

He turned back to peer into the mysterious woods when he saw something pale laying just outside of the woods up ahead.

"Blaine slow down!" Kurt yelled in panic he wasn't sure what the pale mass was it could very well be a white stone but his over active imagination screamed body.

"What what is it?" Blaine asked.

As they got closer to the mass, Kurt shrieked in horror covering his mouth. "Oh my God!"

Laying bloody and lifeless on the side of the road was a skinny pale man.

"Blaine stop!" Kurt screamed reaching out his hand to hold onto Blaine's forearm.

"Kurt what's wrong? You need to tell me what's wrong!" Blaine said nervously.

Kurt moved closer to Blaine hiding his face on Blaine's shoulder.

"No, no, no..." He begged shaking his head back and forth.

Blaine turned and wrapped his arms around Kurt pulling him against his chest. "What's wrong? Are you okay? Kurt please talk to me."

"Lock the doors." Kurt said his voice shaking.

"They are locked." Blaine answered still confused, his eyes not leaving Kurt. "Please Kurt tell me what's going on."

Kurt moved his head off of Blaine's chest looking right into Blaine’s worried hazel eyes and muttered the words he refused to believe, "Dead. Body."

Blaine's body stiffened as he looked out the window behind Kurt. "Oh my God."

Blaine pulled out his phone and quickly dialed 911 "Yeah hi, I was driving home and I passed a... Um dead body... No I'm not alone...yes, we are stopped near the body...yes the doors are locked... No we haven't left the car yet...it's about a mile into magnolia street, in Lima Ohio...okay thanks."

Blaine hung up the phone and lifted the middle seat up so that Kurt could be closer. He's never been so thankful for something as stupid as a hidden middle front seat. "The police are on their way, I'm pretty sure I saw a cop car a little ways back so they should be here soon. They asked me to stay parked here with the hazards on so that they can easily find the body and ask us questions. Are you okay Kurt?"

Kurt scooted across the seat and leaned against Blaine. Blaine moved the seat down so that it was slightly reclined and wrapped his arms around Kurt.

"I'm just...what if that was me?" Kurt asked in a small voice.

"Your fine, you are safe here with me." Blaine assured.

Kurt bit his lip, his thoughts were racing. Another one of the seven is dead, he was sure that this murder was related to the first one. He could be next. He didn't want to wait here for the police he wants to go home, with Blaine, and locked all of the windows and doors. He wanted to spend time with his boyfriend without fearing his life.

Whoever this sick, horrible person is they deserve to die. What did Kurt and the other six people do to this person to cause them to want to kill them? Why was this happening in Lima?

Kurt shook, but it wasn't because he was cold, Blaine's warmth surrounded him and reminded him that he was still okay, he was shaking because he is terrified.

Horrible thoughts clouded his mind as he tried his hardest not to freak out. What if it was someone he knew. What if the murderer was still around, watching him. What if someone else that he knew was part of the seven? What if someone he knew was the murderer? Could he trust anyone? What if he couldn't even trust Blaine or his own family?

What if the murderer wanted Kurt to see this? What if the murderer is blackmailing Blaine to help him get Kurt in the perfect place at the right time? How could it be that he was the person to see the dead body? There are hundreds of other people living in the area and he should think its just a coincident? No! There is no possible way it was a coincident some how the murder knew that he was visiting his parents and that he left at a certain time and would actually be taking that road on the way. He really can't trust anyone.

Blaine's hand stopped rubbing Kurt's back as they heard the police sirens approaching. The police officer tapped on the driver side window, a few minutes later, causing Kurt to jump. The officer was young looking, making a few years older than they were. He had bright piercing green eyes and pale skin. His dirty blond hair stuck out from all angles on top of his head. He was wearing the classic blue uniform of the police officer and he held a bright, shining, flashlight in his hand. Blaine laced his fingers with Kurt's and nudged him off of him a little, so he could talk to the police officer.

Blaine rolled down the window, "Hello sir."

"Hello, you reported seeing a dead body?" the police officer asked.

"Uh yes sir, it's right over there." Blaine answered pointing in the direction of the corpse.

"Stay right here. You haven't left the car correct?"

"Yes sir, we haven't left." Blaine answered the police officer politely.

"Okay the ambulance will be here shortly, do you mind if I ask some quick questions?"

"No go right away."

"Can I see your license?"

"Yeah sure no problem." Blaine answered he poked Kurt in the side gently and leaned in close so that his lips were brushing against Kurt's ear. He whispered very softly, "Kurt honey, can you get off me a little? I need to get my wallet."

Kurt looked up at the police officer with a blank stare, for some reason he was totally out of it right now. The officer smiled at him kindly and then Kurt turned his head to stare up at Blaine. Kurt moved over a little more and let go of Blaine’s hand so that he could get his wallet. He wrapped his hands around Blaine’s arm after he got out his wallet and hugged it to his chest, laying his head on Blaine’s shoulder. Kurt watched Blaine’s hands as he shuffled through his wallet for his license.

Blaine got the license out and handed it to the police officer. The police officer read it over and then handed back to Blaine.

“Alright Blaine, around what time do you think you found the body?” The police officer asked.

Blaine looked at the clock in the car, the clock glowed red saying that it was 10:15 pm. They left the Hummel-Hudson house around 9:30.

Kurt spoke in a quiet small tone, “9:45 maybe.”

The police officer eyes lock on Kurt as he smiled, Kurt looked down at his lap playing with Blaine’s fingers.

The flashing lights of the ambulance reached them before its deafening sound.

“You boys sit here and wait a little, I’ll be right back.” The officer said backing away from their car and walking towards the ambulance, yelling instructions.

“Blaine I don’t want to be here. I just want to go home.” Kurt whined. The thought of a dead body and it’s potential killer near terrified him.

Blaine sighed, he didn’t want to be here either. He hated making Kurt stay here even though he was obviously terrified. Blaine himself was scared to be here, he just witnessed a lifeless bloody body of a naked man. It is late at night and everything seems so dark.

“I know Kurt I do too, but we can’t leave yet. I don’t want us to get in trouble with the cop.” Blaine explained.

Blaine thought for a moment, trying to convince himself to man it up and go outside to talk to the police officer. He took a deep breath and with drew his hand from Kurt’s grasp. “Stay here I’ll be right back.”

He brushed the curls out of his face and opened the car door letting a sudden rush of cold air penetrate their warm car.

“Blaine wait! No, don’t leave me here alone!” Kurt yelled after Blaine.

Blaine popped his head back into the car, looking straight at Kurt. “Do you want to come with me?”

Kurt looked over where the police officer is standing talking to the EMT. They were standing hovering over the corpse taking notes, pictures, and marking off the area. He really doesn’t want to go over there near the body.

“No.” He said quietly pulling his knees up to his chest.

“I’ll be right back Kurt. I have the keys so you can lock the doors again if you want.” Blaine watched the expressions on Kurt’s face waiting for any sudden change, but when he saw none he nodded and closed the car door.

He heard Kurt click the locks locking himself in the car as he walked over to the circle of yellow tape. He tried his hardest to not look at the body, which was still not removed or covered in any sort of way. He could tell that they are chalking the body’s silhouette and talking pictures for evidence. More police officers were here now, as well as some detectives.

Blaine put his freezing hands into his coat pockets and watched the commotion quietly. The head police officer they were talking to earlier signaled the EMT to bring out the body bag to remove the body.

“Oh what are you doing out here Blaine?” The officer asked?

“Oh sorry officer, I uh..”

“Oh please call me Allen.” The officer said correcting Blaine. He stuck out his hand as a greeting to Blaine. Blaine shook it hesitantly.

“Hi Allen, I was just wondering if we could leave. It’s pretty late and we really should be getting home.” Blaine explained.

“Yeah sure no problem. Hold on just a few Blaine, I’m going to give you my contact information just in case you ever need me again. Let’s hope that day never comes, but if it does make sure not to hesitate to call me.” Allen said digging something out of his back pocket. He handed a piece of paper with his name and number on it to Blaine.

“Uh thanks.” Blaine said his eyes drifting over to the body, that was being strapped onto a board. “Any idea who that guy is?”

Allen looked nervously at the dead body, his hand creeping up to his neck to rub at a fresh cut, that Blaine had not noticed before. It wasn’t bleeding anymore but Blaine could tell that he got it only a few hours earlier.

“No we aren’t sure.” Allen answered simply.

“Hey Allen I think we found something!” An EMT yelled. Holding what looked like a bloody note in his plastic gloved hand.

“Excuse me for a moment.” Allen said jogging over to the EMT.

Blaine looked down at his feet. It is freezing out here and all he wants is to go home. He is frustrated and tired, why can’t he go home yet? How could he possibly be anymore help to the experts? He heard a noise behind him and jumped a little when Kurt reached out and grabbed his wrist. He gently tugged Blaine’s hand out of his pocket and they laced their fingers together. Kurt looked nervous, but a lot more sure of himself than he was in the car earlier. His eyes were a shade of deep blue as he looked over at Allen.

“Oh no this is exactly what I feared!” Allen shouted.

Blaine looked up at him, he watched Allen take out a plastic bag and carefully place the note into it. Allen jogged back over to them with the bag in his hand.

“Have you two heard anything about the Sophia case? The one where the young girl was murdered just last week? It has been all over the news. The supposed murder has a list of seven people he or she plans on killing. The person is extremely dangerous.”

“We know about it.” Kurt said sharply.

Blaine watched as Allen’s gaze turned towards Kurt. “Allen.” Allen said simply holding out his hand towards Kurt.

Kurt looked at him with wide questioning eyes. He narrowed his eyes and shook Allen’s hand, “Kurt.”

“Hi Kurt it’s nice to meet you.” Allen said politely.

Blaine watched Allen carefully, why was he suddenly acting so differently? He tightened his hold on Kurt’s hand. No he was not jealous, just confused. Extremely confused.

“Er hi.” Kurt answered biting his lip. “Are we done here? I really want to go home.”

“This is kind of an important case.” Allen said matching Kurt’s sharp tone.

“I understand that but there will be an even more important case if I can’t get my eight hours of beauty sleep. So please can we go home?” Kurt said bitterly.

“I..uh… yes of course.” Allen said who definitely seemed caught off guard from Kurt’s response. “I gave Blaine my contact information, please call me if you need anything. And I mean anything, I hope you know that Kurt…Blaine.”

“We got it.” Blaine spoke quietly.

“Okay well we are pretty positive, with this note guaranteeing it, that this murder was a part of the seven victim’s murder. So Sophia is not the only lone victim now. My only advice is to please be careful and make sure you lock all of your window’s and doors. Go straight home, don’t stop anywhere. For all we know the murderer could be closer than we think. If you want to know more about the case, or find out about any new information we find on the case, please don’t hesitate to call me.” Allen said ducking underneath the tape. “Alright Kurt, Blaine, I’ll see you two later.”

“Bye.” They said together walking back over to Blaine’s car.

Once they were safely inside the car and already back on their way home, they started to talk. “That guy was really weird.” Blaine spoke first.

“Yeah he was.” Kurt laughed for the first time since he spotted the body.

Blaine laughed with him, “You were so rude!”

“Hey I had to get us out of their sometime. I couldn’t stand to think about only five more victims left.” Kurt said his laughter quieting.

“Yeah.” Blaine agreed as the quiet over took them.

Kurt unbuckled his seat belt startling Blaine. “Kurt what the heck are you doing, put your seat belt back on!”

Kurt smiled and scooting across the middle seat buckling himself in. He leaned against Blaine and placed a small kiss to Blaine’s exposed neck. “Why I like this better?”
