Woah, who could have sent this? Should I reply? I was so confused.

I decided to reply anyway, "Who is this?"

I put my phone aside as I started going through the books. I knew this was a huge task and would take a long time to finish, but if we could track down the killer, it'd be worth it.

Nothing caught my attention in the first few pages, just the football team, the cheerleaders and a bunch of irrelevant stuff. However, one picture suddenly caught my eye. It was one of a music class with all the students playing an instrument, but in the left corner of the image, I saw someone familiar. 

I quickly grabbed my phone, took a picture of the picture and uploaded it to photoshop, I zoomed in and I was right! It was Taylor!

I decided to keep scrolling until I found the girl in the photo I found when I was kidnapped. And it wasn't an easy task. I started looking at not only the main focus of these images but also the corners, to see if I could find the mysterious stranger. Once I finished going through the first yearbook, I decided to go to social media instead of flipping through another yearbook. 

But I only knew this person's initials so I didn't know what to type. Suddenly I heard a knock on the door, I opened it to see Taylor and Kaylee waiting outside, and they looked happy. Were they becoming friends?

"Come in," I said as I made way for them. 

"What are these?" Taylor asked pointing to the yearbooks. Shit! I felt so guilty going without her, but I couldn't lie... Could I?

"Me and Kaylee snuck into the school from the picture and stole these" I said.

"What school?" She asked looking confused. That's when it hit me, she didn't know about Kaylee's invention. I felt bad for keeping her in the dark, she has done so much for me. But she wasn't jobless like Kaylee and I so I couldn't keep bothering her, I'm sure she'd understand.

"Well, Kaylee is actually a scientist and made a machine to help track the location," I said while holding Kaylee's shoulder.

"Right," She said sceptically. I didn't know why, she knew scientists existed right?

"What did you find in these books you stole?" She continued. 

"Not much, as of now. I was trying to find her on social media but we don't know her name" I said sounding very discouraged. 

"Well, it's only going to get harder for you to find this killer," Kaylee said in an unhappy tone. 

"Why's that?" I asked cluelessly. 

"Because there haven't been murders in almost a month, meaning we won't get any new clues and have to work with what we have, which isn't much" Taylor replied matter of factly.

It felt like the universe was against me trying to bring justice for Olivia, and those other innocent people who died at the hands of this psychopath.
