In Jade's absence, her two "friends" begin to talk about her saying that she is a horrible person, she is selfish and inconsiderate. Jade's friend then lets it slip that Jade owes her money for drugs that she has supplied to her. She also confesses that Jade has an issue with drugs which causes side effects if she doesn't have her intake of it daily. Jade in this time was nowhere to be seen. Around 6:45pm, Jade is due to meet up with her friends again, she attempts to call each of them several times, but there is no answer. She then makes her way to the road that she is supposed to be meeting them, she walks past an ally way where someone grabs her and hits her over the head with a blunt weapon. As Jade is knocked to the ground, the killer (who is wearing a full black mask and has gloves on) stands over Jade looking at her. The perpetrator then runs away, leaving Jade dead in the alleyway, lying in the pool of her blood. The next day, Jade's body is discovered and the police are called immediately.
