~~~~Writers Entery~~~~

Wow it's been so long since I started this series and to finally have my creative juices flowing again is amazing. I had no real direction as to where I was going with this, now I do. This Episode doesn't just mark the return of this series, but it also marks my first-ever crossover. In this series, you will see Nervous from my other series Black Heartz. Both series are going to be connected uniquely. Some aspects of the supernatural could pave the way for other familiar characters to return from beyond the grave. In this supernatural who done it story. All while keeping with the original story for both stories.

~Scandals and Secrets of Pleasantview~

~~~~~~Episode 6~~~~~~

It had been four years since we last left off and a lot has changed. Lucas and Beau have moved in together, and have settled down. But not all is as perfect as one might think. Mortimer is still alive and kicking, trying to push his company onto his grandson.

  However, Lucas has refused to take over due to some sudden allegations that have surfaced over the last four years. The one that was the most talked about was human cloning. All that entailed in this experiment was the use of illegal materials that were frowned upon.

   Though Lucas tried his best to ignore the media that was always up his backside, in hopes that he'd comment on the matter. Instead, he got a job working from home at a help hotline. He dealt with troubled teens. All the while Beau went to work as normal. But Beau on the other hand had a secret that he'd been keeping from Lucas for the last four years.

As Beau got dressed and ready for work, Lucas sat there on the bed looking lost in his thoughts. Beau stood there in the center of their bedroom looking at Lucas, feeling rather concerned about him.

Beau: Hey, everything okay you look lost.

  He said as he walked over and took a seat next to him.

Lucas: How do you do it?

Beau: I'm not sure that I follow..

Lucas: How do you go on as if everything is normal? I want to... I want to feel normal before everything turned to shit.

Beau sat there unable to come up with an answer to that question. It didn't bother him, only because it wasn't his name that was being dragged through the mud. But that wasn't the answer his soon-to-be husband wanted to hear.

Beau: Babe, it's been four years, don't you think that people have forgotten about that?

Lucas: Who could forget? When they raided my grandfather's company they found out that he had been using stem cells as a base for genetically modifying the DNA to make a near-perfect clone.

Beau: I suppose you have a point, although... You have to eventually get back out into the world, Lucas. Staying hidden isn't going to change the fact that people know about that. Besides I'm sure they are more interested in talking with your grandfather.

  Taking a moment to think about what he had said, Lucas knew that he was right. However still wouldn't be easy to try living a life that was normal like it was four years ago.

Lucas: It's not just that, I still don't know who that guy was that held me at gunpoint. He's still out there, what if he's waiting to make his move?!

Beau: It was probably just someone who was trying to scare you.

Lucas: Scare me?! For fuck sake Beau, he had a gun pointed directly at me!

Beau: I didn't...

   Beau began to lose track of what he going to say. He just sat there in nothing but an awkward silence, it was so quiet in fact that you might just hear nothing but the sound of each other's hearts beating.

Lucas: Has this been your amusement? Laughing at me, behind my back? Because I'm scared that once I step out that door... That I might run into him, again...

Beau: What? Of course not!

Beau: Lucas Alex Goth, I love you to the moon and back... I would never laugh at you, I understand that you're scared. But it has been four years I'm sure he's gone by now.

Lucas: Ew, you just totally ruined that heartfelt speech the moment you said my full name. You sounded like my parents. I love you too, and I know it's been four years. I just don't know if...

Beau: Com'on, come with me. We'll go for a walk, and get some drinks. I'll protect you.

  Lucas hesitated for a brief moment, he knew something had to give. It went against his better judegment, but decided to take a chance with his soon-to-be husband.

~~~~Meanwhile~~~~

   Alexander was working around the clock, trying to figure out who was going around committing murder. As he was trying to look for clues, there was a knock on the door to his office. It was his backup.

   It seemed that this person was the same person of interest in a town 3 hours away. So Alexander was going to be working with the lead detective who was on the same case. "Come in!" He shouted in the direction of the door

......

....

......

Alexander: You must be detectives Specter and Rodriguez, hope the rip wasn't too rough.

Nervous: Not at all, it allowed me to reread the entire case. We're gonna have our hands full. He's been at this for years. May I?

  Nervous asked as he reached over to the files on Alexander's desk. Alexander didn't have time to respond.

Nervous: Bella Goth, and Cassandra Goth? We're they murdered by the same guy?

Alexander: I'm not sure, I just keep those files around. My mother and sister were murdered and the man was never caught. But that was when I was young so I can be.

Nervous: The person would be in his 60s by now, and why now? Why start murdering again after nearly 3 decades?

......

....

......

Alexander: That's why we need to work together. We need to find this person before it happens again.
