Full Chapter
INT. ALEXIS'S OFFICE - DAY

Alexis is on her laptop and reading a news article about Ghostface's murder on Schuyler. She is shocked over this. Memories are hitting her as she looks at her wrist, revealing it to be branded with Venedict's signature "J.V." letters. We hear the memories of the children screaming from the flashback.

Alexis feels a presence and turns to her office window. Standing by his car in the parking lot is Jeff. Alexis knows exactly why he's here. She gets up from her desk and leaves her office.

EXT. LAKEHART HIGH SCHOOL - PARKING LOT - DAY

Jeff stands by his car, waiting for Alexis. He scratches his arm, revealing the same "J.V." brand on his wrist like Alexis.

Alexis comes out of the building and approaches Jeff. A tense look comes over their faces.

ALEXIS: Been a long time, Jeff.

JEFF: It has, Alexis. I've missed you.

Alexis smiles.

ALEXIS: I've missed you, too.

This results in an embrace. Their hugging is emotional. A sweet reunion of not just lovers from the past. But two people who have a mutual secret.

ALEXIS: I saw Destiny today.

JEFF: I heard that you two would meet today. How did it go?

ALEXIS: It went well. I gotta say, you're doing a great job taking care of her.

JEFF: I do my best.

ALEXIS: She's an amazing person, which you get credit for.

This makes Jeff smile.

JEFF: Did you hear?

ALEXIS: I did. There are only a few people in this world who have what it takes to do this.

JEFF: I feel the same.

ALEXIS: Was it you?

JEFF: No. I can't put Destiny in that kind of danger. Greg Montana did it...and put us in danger. It cost him his life.

ALEXIS: He saved our lives.

JEFF: Yes, he did. But it was the fact that Venedict knew he was close to us that made it easy for him to stop him. And I can't do that to Destiny. Especially with...(grabbing his branded wrist)...what that bastard did to us.

Alexis also grabs at her wrist. This scene just confirmed that Jeff and Alexis are Jay and Ally, the two children that Greg Montana rescued in the flashback story.

ALEXIS: Whoever did this must have a strong motive.

JEFF: Jyle Venedict controls this city. Chances are every single person in Lakehart has a motive to do this. Now the big question is...will this person succeed unlike Montana.

ALEXIS: The bigger question is; Who is the new Ghostface?

Jeff nods. And that is the question that will be on everyone's minds. Who is the person behind the Ghostface mask?

INT. VENEDICT'S MANSION - OFFICE- DAY

Venedict is having a meeting with Portman, Luther, Rydell, and Kila about Schuyler's murder. He is clearly upset that a copycat of Greg Montana has attacked a member of his gang.

VENEDICT: This is unacceptable!

Venedict bangs on his desk.

PORTMAN: Don't worry, boss. We'll get him. If he's looking for us specifically, it won't be long until we catch him.

VENEDICT: When you do...bring him to me alive so I can personally take care of him. I will force every single person in Lakehart over here to make them all watch as I execute this motherfucker just to send a message to every asshole who dares to threaten me and my people. Do you hear me?

GANG: Yes, sir!

VENEDICT: Get outta here and go find him.

The gang gets up from their seats and leaves the office. Coming out of the darkness of the office is JUDITH (20s), Venedict's much younger girlfriend. She is sexy and deadly like him. She puts her arms around him. Venedict takes her hand and kisses it.

Upon the gang's exit, Venedict's bodyguard, DRAX, enters the office. Drax has huge muscles and looks like he could be a wrestler. He nods with respect to his boss.

VENEDICT: We have a new enemy, Mr. Drax.

DRAX: So I've heard, Mr. Venedict.

Venedict chuckles over the thought of Ghostface.

VENEDICT: That son of a bitch doesn't stand a chance against us.

DRAX: I agree. You, yourself, killed Greg Montana. He won't get far in fighting you.

VENEDICT: Exactly. I'm the most powerful and untouchable person in Lakehart. Since I took over this organization, we have become more stronger and powerful than ever before.

JUDITH: We would be nothing without you.

DRAX: We're lucky to have you as our leader...Jyle.

Venedict smiles over this. Drax refers to him by his first name not as a disrespect to him but with great admiration, which he appreciates.

Deaths
None.
