-in the Gents Room-
Razor: You know this started as a wild goose chase right?
Vox: Yeah but now it’s a flight of terror.
Razor: Exactly, but it is a little worrying.
Nephila: yeah why’s that? Maybe people dropping like flies everywhere we go?
Razor: Well yes, partially. But I’m talking about the fact that it started with power outages, and the killer was being stealthy. Now they’re taking us out when the lights are on.
Nephila: *surprised* Oh my god, you’re right!
Vox: *scared* that means that any of us could be next!
Mysterious Figure: Not just anyone. You.
-meanwhile in the deputy mayor’s office-
Shadami: This must be the area where the call came from!
Detective Shadami sits down at the desk and checks the phone’s call history. There was indeed a call placed from the phone to the night watch station that night. Aside from this there are no obvious clues inside the Deputy Mayor’s Office. She sits, resting a moment to collect her thoughts.
Shadami: You know there is something strange about this room, but I can’t quite put my finger on it… Oh well I’m sure it will come to me, now where did everyone else get off to.
-Meanwhile in the Grand Hall -
Diana:
*looking at the photographs on the walls and scoffs* These photographs are far too typical and uninspired.
Paige:So why not offer some of your own than.
Diana: I have. But apparently those in charge aren’t cultured enough to appreciate true masterpieces.
Paige: *snorts* Perhaps your wig is a little too tight Diana.
Diana:
*spins on her heel angrily and opens her mouth to argue with Paige and gets interrupted immediately*
Jacque:
*grumbling* You ladies making me wish I’d searched for the phone’s location with someone else.
As Diana walks towards Paige she steps on a book that was laying on the floor. She picks it up and quirks an eyebrow.
Diana: Book of proverbs huh? Who reads this babble I wonder.
Paige: Oh that’s a book Riley checked out from the library.
Diana:
*Diana opens the book to a random bookmarked location* Oh, now this is interesting. What do you think of it Jacque?
Jacque:
*Grudgingly he takes the book and reads it silently. His eyes grow wide and he quickly shoves the book back at Diana* I need to find Beth.
Paige:
*Confused Paige takes the book and reads. “Love sees sharply, hatred sees even more sharp, but jealousy sees the sharpest of all for it is love and hate at the same time.”* Riley…
Confounded she quickly follows Jacque out of the room.
Paige catches up with Jacque as they run into most of the others in the central hallway. Shadami meets up with them here as well having been exploring the more off limit locations like the deputy mayor’s office, and the other upstairs private offices.
Shadami: Has anyone found anything interesting? I found the location that the call came from but beyond that there was nothing special.
Paige: Has anyone seen Riley?
Jacque: Where’s Beth?
Everyone looks around among their group taking head counts, and realize that Name of Menewshans, Beth, Riley, and Justin are all missing.
Jacque: *angrily* Who was with Beth!? Where is she!
Paige: *curiously* Why are you worried about her so much, we should be worried that our main suspect Justin is missing!
Jacque: Main suspect?! Forget Justin, it was Riley! He asked Beth out a while ago and she turned him down!
Diana: Did she?
*inspecting fingernails closely* P.S.Herman seems to believe your girlfriend was unfaithful. The way you’re acting, I’d say she’s the girlfriend.
Johnny: No he’s not.
Jacque: Yes I am! She made me keep it secret, and now I’m worried about her being missing with Riley!
Paige:It can’t be Riley! He would have told me if he had a girlfriend!
Jacque: He didn’t tell you his heart was broken! He’s got to be the killer and he’s got Beth!
Johnny: Beth is my girlfriend, not yours.
Jacque:
*shocked disbelief* WHAT?!
Johnny: And now we should go find her. Regardless of her hurting both of us, she’s in danger right? We shouldn’t be sitting around here arguing.
Artimis: Do we really have to go dashing off again?
Diana: Yes we do. There are missing bodies to be found.
Artimis: Can I just run to the bathroom quick first. It feels like forever since I was home.
Johnny: We really shouldn’t split up again. I’ll go with you.Jacque, why don’t you come too.
Lindsey: Are we really splitting into girls and guys for this stupid search? *looks over at Paige* Fine, let’s just get it over with.
Jacque: Fine, but hurry!
Artimis drags the men into the bathroom and Detective Shadami and the women suddenly hear a high pitched scream come from the gents room. Forgetting gender laws, they all rush in and see the missing menewshans they had been looking for lying in the bathroom clearly dead.
Jacque: She’s not here. She’s not here.
Johnny: Guys look what I found.
Johnny holds up a night watch hat that only Riley ever bothers to wear, and a piece of paper that reads: “If you want to see Beth alive again, come to where it began.” They all look at each other confused.
Lindsey: Where what began?
Paige: If it’s the cabin, I’m not going back to the cabin.
Lindsey:Well what about the hospital. The serial killer must have been born in the hospital.
Shadami: I guess that makes as much sense as anything. Let’s see if we can find them in the hospital.
They quickly move off to the hospital where they find Riley passed out on the front steps and Shadami quickly steps forward before Jacque can attack him in anger.
Shadami: The rest of you search the hopsital for Beth and Justin while I bring Riley to and question him.
However before she can stop them the entire group runs off and splits up. Distrust between everyone erupting out in waves.
