Chapter 12: Scream Queens & Kings
The next day, Luke woke up with a feeling as if he had forgotten something very important and he knew it was related to the supposed conclusion of the UBrite case. The first thing his mind remembered as soon as he woke up was Richard's stolen kiss which, in his words, was an appropriate farewell for them and Luke couldn't be a hypocrite in saying he hadn't liked it. To contradict his mind, he brought the Tartosian's selfie to the surface and the detective found himself laughing, still hugging the pillow. He was relieved to wake up with that spiral of thoughts more than the ones he had been having. And once again, the feeling that something was missing returned. While taking a shower, Luke thought about what he would do that day, starting with a visit to Julia, who had already woken up and was stable. Then he would talk to the police officers who found the alleged evidence in the house where Blake was, who was still missing and consequently became the focus of the media as an alleged helper of the sadistic Demetrius Troyer who drank the blood of his victims. He would try to contact Dominic Ward again and ask more questions about his affair with Troy and his alleged presence at the Forgotten Hollow Horror Tour at the time his cousin was present. Luke remembered very well the nightmare the influencer had spoken about being chased by a sinister city, and if the detective managed to solve everything without drawing Richard's attention, he would finish with a visit to Luca, who had sent him a message in the early hours of the morning saying that she wanted to meet him as soon as possible. And so the redhead began his day, thinking of the last part as a prize.
Even with the reporters' insistence on Luca and Riccardo, they preferred to finish college on campus. Luca no longer gave interviews at the suggestion of his father and lawyer who were still suing Sierra. The Tartosian always said the same phrase in a dramatic tone before getting into the car, when the reporters ran up to him: "You will know my version, after you read my book." Unlike Riccardo, who simply ignored them. The news only talked about the arrest of Demetrius Troyer and his supposed assistant Lionel Blake, and the contrast to all this was the future book that Luca had promised so much.
…With the end of the curfew, Will was able to attend more meetings of the Order of Enchantment, learn more about how to please the Spirits and get to know the members better, such as Ruth, Lars, Myra and the newcomer Regina, who Will was shocked to learn about. The leader, Reece Mayfield, took possession of Blake's old podcast, which planted evidence in the house by placing Esther's old costume and dagger, and began calling it The Order of Enchantment and talked about second chances and starting over, while the true creator remained missing and hunted by the police.
…Which took Detective Luke by surprise when, after speaking to Julia at the hospital and making sure she didn't remember her tormentor's face and also speaking to the police officers who found the evidence at the house where Lionel was, who stated that Reece revealed that he had been finding Lionel too suspicious since he saw him quickly hiding things when he arrived at the dormitory they shared.
…Dominic breathed a sigh of relief after getting into the taxi on the way to the airport, where he caught his family's jet and returned home. He just didn't expect that as soon as he set foot in Windenburg Castle, where he lived, his father wouldn't welcome him with all the love and affection he had imagined. Dominic's concern would no longer be recovering the sponsorships he had lost when he was considered a suspect in the case, but how he would live without all the perks he received from his parents.
…In the short time they were together, Luke imagined himself in a relationship with the actor and him having a normal life, perhaps as a personal security guard with benefits. Pushing those thoughts away, Luke said goodbye to his affair with a kiss and returned to the police station as if he was floating.
Luca and his cousin finished college, and Riccardo began helping his grandfather manage the famous line of fancy restaurants “Gatti’s” and later Luca returned to study Languages and Literature - but at a distance - and finally released his book entitled “Scream Queens & Kings” which he dedicated to the victims and detailed facts about the UBrite case. The actor even addressed his relationship with the detective and the book became number one in sales. The book became Luke’s favorite, who managed to solve the StrangerVille case in time to return and get an autograph from Luca during the book’s promotion, which praised the redhead and his skills…
Gabe consolidated his modeling career and maintained a strong friendship with Luca, being considered one of the best friends in the famous Tartosian 'Squad' and it didn't take long for him to become an A-List celebrity just like Luca and his 'Squad'.
