Week Eight Tuesday

Liz: @Richie310 I think I found Waldo

Richie: I really don't know how to respond to that

Liz: Ok, I'm in a few therapy sessions, one of the doctors asked if I knew Antonio DeMarco a while back

Richie: So the doc knew Antonio? Let me guess...former resident?

Liz: Ten steps ahead of you. Although none of the doctors can talk about it, a few patients confirmed it, Antonio WAS here.

Liz: But he was just a boy then. Richie, this is insane!

Richie: Of course it is, you're in a a psych ward.

Liz: No, I mean I'm looking at his file right now, I snuck into archives while on cleaning duty...You have to see this

Richie: Okay, so Antonio is a nut, how does that help us? Wait...they let patients do clean up duty?

Liz: Good behavior/Bad economy. Listen, Antonio was here ten years ago. He had a twin sister. And get this:

Liz: His sister was kidnapped. He and his sister were home alone, someone broken in and grabbed her.

Liz: Antonio tried to fight him off, but he was just a kid.

Liz: He couldn't do anything. His sister was snatched right before his eyes.

Richie: Slow down...he has a sister? How come we never heard about this?

Liz: Because she's dead. The police caught up to the guy but there was some kind of struggle. The police killed him, but they were too late.

Liz: They found her body in the trunk. It was mutilated pretty badly.

Richie: Wow

Liz: After that, Antonio went out of control. He blamed himself for his sister's death.

Liz: He got freaked out. Thought the rest of his family was going to leave him too, snapped on his parents, tried to hold them hostage.

Liz: So they put him in the psych ward and left town.

Richie: Harsh.

Liz: There's no address for them at all. Just his grandmother. They abandoned him here.

Richie: Jesus. That's messed up.

Liz: I know, right? I keep thinking...could this have anything do with Kelly?

Richie: What, like Antonio being obsessed with her?

Liz: No, I mean something more than that. He held his parents hostage right? What if he was trying to do the same thing to Kelly?

Richie: What?

Liz: Think about it, she was leaving to college next year along with all of us, leaving Antonio behind. He couldn't face being abandoned again.

Richie: But if he was trying to get close to Kelly, why do all this? Kidnapping, faked death, those tweets? Its just so...

Liz: Insane?

Richie: Fucked up.

Liz: Oh, and Richie, there's something else you need to see...something in this file.

Richie: Like what?

Liz: I don't want to say, in case, you know...

Richie: Ok, sure. So what should we do?

Liz: I tell you what, come by tonight and look for the tall metal trash bin in the outside courtyard. I leave something there for you.

Richie: The file?

Liz: RICHIE!

Richie: Okay, okay, I'll be there. Oh shit.

Liz: What?

Richie: I just realized, the Sarge has an extra late shift tonight. I won't be able to get out till after midnight. Can it wait?

Liz: Just get here as soon as you can. This is worth checking out. BELIEVE ME!

Richie: Got it. Or I WILL get it. Soon. Anyway, you know what I mean.
