"What the fuck?" Hunter cried, jumping out of bed and grabbing Fitz's phone.
"I can explain," Fitz said.
"What's to explain? You fucking have Grindr on your phone and are trolling for ass."
"That's not what... "
"I thought we had something. I thought we were... "
"We do. We are. Just look at the profile for a second."
Hunter opened up the app. A picture of a skinny twink stared back at him as the active profile.
"So you're lying to people too?"
"No," Fitz said, sitting Hunter down on the bed. "I'm looking for Tristan's killer."
"You're what?"
"His friends told me that he'd been secretly talking to a catfish. That he was the one who probably killed him. All they gave me was the screen name JacksonMaxium. So I thought if I could find him... "
"So this is part of the investigation? You going undercover?"
"That's the problem. There is no investigation. The case is cold and this guy is just sitting there waiting to strike again. I've got to stop him."
"But... what will you do if you find him? Can you arrest him?"
"I don't know," Fitz said, uncharacteristically earnest. "But I'm going to stop him."
