The Killer's Prints DIXI

Hey, it's Shari, and I have no new leads. None.

-Didn't you get any evidence on Zane at the weekend?

-No!

Come on, guys, I've only just got the band's dynamic working again

after last time.

Zane's picture was on CCTV, Zane is not above suspicion,

Shari can't afford to rule out anyone.

Yeah, I don't think it was him.

Why? Because he's your prom date?

No, because of new evidence!

-He has an alibi?

-No. We just hung out over the weekend.

He's really funny and cool,

and I feel like we really "get" each other.

I don't think the Dixi Killer would "get" me

-in the way that I feel Zane really does.

-Yay!

Look, I'll show you. This is from the weekend.

Shari, I'm going to Laser Maze. Can I borrow your headphones?

Are you playing with your cuddly toys?

No, I'm clearly recreating crime scenes.

It looks a lot like you're playing with cuddly toys.

Look, I don't want it to be him but the message is about hacking.

New space, the CCTV footage.

There's a lot of evidence for Zane being the hacker.

Sid, are you ready?

-Hi, Shari.

-Hi, Zane.

-What are you doing?

-She's...

-Just playing with my cuddly toys.

-OK.

Do you want to come to Laser Maze?

I mean, three is a much better number for strategy games, right?

That doesn't prove anything.

Sid has been going to Laser Maze on Saturdays for, like,

100 squillion years, and he has never invited me along.

Zane must like me.

So I don't think he'd hack me.

Or he overheard you and wanted to throw you off the scent.

You're getting too close and your emotions are blinding your judgment.

Oh! I wrote a song about that.

Also, a squillion isn't a number!

Did you even ask about the CCTV?

Zane never uses the computer with a sticky L key. He told me.

You end up looking like you find everything really funny,

like, "just doing my homework, LOL."

Yeah, or like, "I'm just going to A & E

"after tripping over a broom, LOL."

Guys, Laser Maze?

-Ah, Zane is so nice.

-He is, isn't he?

-It could just be an act.

This video doesn't prove anything either.

Come on, look how well we get along!

You get on really, really well.

Thanks, Isla.

We're meeting up again tonight to look for the backup CCTV footage.

Zane thinks that the files might be on the computer somewhere.

He wouldn't do that

if he thought the backup CCTV footage would incriminate him.

-BEEPING

-Oh! What are you going to wear?

Oh. Zane said he can't make it tonight.

He's a busy person.

He can still get me the CCTV footage.

BEEPING

-He said he can't get me the CCTV footage.

-Why not?

He says it's been wiped!

Oh, no. I've been played!

I don't know, LavenderWhirlingBear.

I can't believe Zane would do this either.

But I need to know for sure.

Hey, it's Shari, and this is Following Zane.

Oh! He's there.

I followed Zane into a print shop. The exact sort of place

that the lost dog posters would have been made.

Shari?

What are you doing here?

Oh, hi, Zane. I'm, I'm, I'm just printing.

Down at the print shop. As are you.

-Do you do a lot of printing?

-Yeah.

There's a big market in printing stuff for people.

Onto mugs, T-shirts, posters, even paper.

Oh, I'm really sorry we didn't get to hang out.

It's just Mimi's mum wants me to do some printing for prom and,

well, she's head of the prom committee,

-so she gets to decide how much time the band gets, so...

-Oh.

But, look, here's a few food coupons on the down low,

and seeing as you'll be paying for me, I plan to eat a lot of cupcakes.

Thanks.

W-What about the CCTV? What happened?

I thought I messaged you,

well, I hoped that you might be able to access the old CCTV

files from the computer's recycle bin,

but I looked for hours at lunch and I couldn't find anything.

I'm not very good with computers.

I thought you got all those messages about hacking Dixi, I thought

you were...

A master hacker? No.

Well, I'm a fixer.

When I say that I can do anything, what I mean is I can get anything.

-Makes sense.

-It does. I know my business.

Well, I'd better get these to Mimi's mum, I'll see you.

-Oh, and I'm really looking forward to prom.

-Me too.

You shouldn't, I'm going to rinse you.

SHE LAUGHS NERVOUSLY

Huh?

Oh, say no(!)

These posters were done here, in this print shop,

that Zane uses all the time.

Oh!

I so want that to be true, SapphirePancakeTiger,

but I'm going to have to ask Zane straight out.

Hey, it's Shari. And welcome to the bus that time forgot.

No-one's here. No-one.

-Excuse me, um, did the clocks go back last night?

-No.

-Forwards?

-I don't think so.

This is, like, how every Goosebumps story starts.

Where is everyone? No Eve, no Isla, no Mimi, no Chloe.

No Zane.

I'm going to find him at school,

and tell him that I know he's the hacker.

It's time to throw down a showdown.

RINGTONE

Ooh, message.

From my hacked account.

"You're in too deep,

"back off now or you'll wish you never started this!"

Their location is tagged.

The message was sent from school, they're there right now.

Got to get to the computer room, see who's in there.

No running, Shari.

Door's open. This is it. Whoever's in there is the killer.

-Isla?

-Hey, Shari.

-You?

-How could you?

-How could I what? Join the prom committee?

ALL: Hi, Shari!

Hey, what's going on?

I got a message from the killer sent from the computer room just now.

-It's someone in there.

-GASPS

-Am I the killer?

-Did you just send me a threatening message?

-No.

-Then no, the point is, it's someone on the prom committee.

-Oh, well, at least it can't be Zane.

-Why not?

-Because he wasn't in there.

No, but he was. He was working on the band set list for prom.

He left just before you came in...

Shari!

Zane!

-Oh, hi, Shari.

-Don't give me that!

-Don't give you hello?

I know what you did in the computer this morning.

Oh, how did you find out?

Skills, Zane. Skills and good old-fashioned detective work.

-Sounds a bit over the top.

-Oh, really(!)

You don't think it's over the top hacking my Dixi

and putting up posters of me calling me a dog?

-I didn't.

-You just admitted it.

-No, no.

I mean, I don't know what you're on about.

Oh, and suppose you don't know anything about the CCTV

footage that went missing right after you looked for it?

Or that poster I found in the bin at the print shop?

I'm not the only person that uses the print shop.

-They have loads of other customers.

-And you were in the computer room

when I got a message from whoever hacked my account.

-So? That wasn't me.

-Isla said you were on a computer.

Yeah. Printing off the lyrics for a song that I'd written about a girl

I was looking forward to going to prom with.

The girl with the sunshine eyes?

Is that me?

Not any more.

So, I've been working on a song that Zane wrote.

I've done a little demo and I hope you like it.

# She text me a message

# I'm left second guessing

# Does it mean there's something between us?

# Or is she just messing?

# She names the game to play it

# Or she's feeling the same way, and...

# She's just waiting for me to say it

# Waiting for me

# Waiting for me to say it

# I'm with her and it's all fine

# The girl with the sunshine eyes

# Does she even realise

# All she has to do is smile?

# I'm flying for a while

# Reaching brand-new heights

# Seeing brand-new sights

# Bathing in the light

# I'm finding in her eyes

# My friends say, "Ask her"

# At least you'll have an answer

# But imagine what would happen

# What would happen

# What would...

# If I'm faced with laughter

# How do I face her after?

# Never friends again

# I'm not that good an actor

# I'm with her and it's all fine

# The girl with the sunshine eyes

# Does she even realise

# All she has to do is smile?

# I'm flying for a while

# Reaching brand-new heights

# Seeing brand-new sights

# Bathing in the light

# I'm finding in her eyes

# I'm with her and it's all fine

# The girl with the sunshine eyes

# Does she even realise

# All she has to do is smile?

# I'm flying for a while

# Reaching brand-new heights

# Seeing brand-new sights

# Bathing in the light

# I'm finding in her eyes. #
