A few moments later, Ms. Shiki the lights turned back on, dropping her Athame afterwards. It was not James that got hit, but the fact that it was Mr. Bieber. Everyone suddenly walked over to the body checking to see if he was still alive. Mr. Chihaku suddenly got down beside the body.

"Everybody stand back! Give him some space!" He says after he felt his neck for a pulse, nothing. He then felt his back for breath, there was no breathing, and finally he checked his wrist for any possible sign of life, and there was nothing whatsoever.

"He's dead." He said. Everyone gasped at the fact and looked down at the gun.

"Who had the gun?" Ms. Crystalheart said looking at everyone.

"I did!" Mr. Nick replied scared.

"Then you shot him!" Mr. Rose said.

"I didn't!"

"Well if you had the gun and didn't shoot him, then who did?" Ms. Kadmiel asked. Mr. Nick then grabbed the body.

"Look there's not gunshot wound of any kind!" He said before flipping the body to reveal no wound on him.

"There's not even a drop of blood around here and the room is completely white! Someone tried to grab the gun from me and it went off!" He said in a panic and fast tone. He suddenly pointed at the TV.

"Look! There's a bullet hole went through that expensive TV!" He said, running towards the glass shattering TV with everyone behind him.

"He's right look, there's a bullet hole here through the TV like he said!" Mr. Chihaku replied pointing at the bullet-shattering hole in the center of the TV. James then pushed Mr. Nick out of the way to Mr. Chihaku's face.

"Well how did he die!?" He asked.

"I don't fucking know! I'm not a forensic expert you know!" He screamed.

"Well one of us must've killed him!" Ms. Kadmiel said throwing her statue on the couch.

"Oh shit! I need a drink!" Mr. Nick said hurrying towards the wine. Mr. Chihaku looked at Mr. Nick chugging down the wine bottle and noticed a small bottle near the table. He couldn't help but scream out his thought.

"He could've been poisoned!" He Screamed. Nick suddenly dropped the bottle, shattering it. The then ran gagging at the thought and ran to the nearest plant in the room and began shoving his finger down his throat to try to vomit out the wine. Mr. Chihaku suddenly went to his side and grabbed him by the shoulder. He rolled his eyes a little at how Mr. Nick was trying to induce vomiting. Suddenly, Mr. Rose grabbed the bottle that shattered.

"Looks like we'll never know..." He says holding a broken end of the bottle.

"Unless.... Unless he dies as well." Mr. Chihaku says with a choked voice. Everyone got on their knees and stared at the tiger deeply while he looked at everyone else with a frozen face. Suddenly a scream pierced out of nowhere, which caused everyone to get up and go to the Rec Room with Mr. Nick lagging behind the group.

"Open up!" Ms. Kadmiel screamed while banging the door.

"It must be the murderer!" Mr. Rose said.

"Why would he scream?" Ms. Crystalheart replied.

"Oh my god he must have a victim in there, oh my god Julita!" Ms. Shiki said shocked.

"Oh fuck!" Mr. Chihaku said before the doors flew wide open. Everyone ran in, finding no one but the upset Zora.

"Oh thank god you're alive!" James said with a big breath.

"No thanks to you! You all locked me up with the murderer!" Julita said with a tear on her face.

"So the murderer IS in this room!" Mr. Rose said.

"No, We!"

"But where?" Ms. Kadmiel asked.

"Where? Here!" Julita said while Mr. Chihaku and Mr. Nick looked behind the door looking for the murderer.

"We're all looking at him! Or her! Mr. Bieber is dead in the study, one of you is the killer!" She said with a few more tears running down her face.

"How'd you know that?" Ms. Crystalheart replied.

"I was watching!" She said, pointing at the surveillance cameras and the small screen.

"But why were you screaming?" Ms. Shiki asked.

"Because I'm too frightened and this wine isn't helping me... I can't stay here by myself..." She said crying. Ms. Kadmiel walked towards the Zora and consoled her.

"Come on back to the Living Room with us." She said.

"With the murderer!?" She said bawling.

"There's safety for all of us ma'am." Mr. Chihaku said holding the Curtain Rod in his hand. A few minutes later everyone watched the recording of the Living Room. They saw Mr. Bieber turn off the lights, heard a clank, and for a millisecond, the flash from the gunshot revealed someone grabbing Mr. Nick's gun, but only another hand. Everyone walked back in the Living Room where Mr. Bieber's corpse was still lying on the floor.

"So there's no indication of how he died?" Mr. Rose asked. James sat down with grief.

"This is so terrible! I never intended this to happen!" He said.

"What do you mean, you're not the bodyguard?" Ms. Shiki said.

"I am his bodyguard, in fact I wrote the letters, I invited you all." He said pointing at the corpse. Ms. Shiki seemed puzzled.

"Now I don't understand... Were you trying to assist him in the blackmailing?" Ms. Shiki asked. James suddenly jumped up in anger.

"Absolutely not!" He screamed.

"I think you need to explain right now!" Ms. Shiki replied seriously. James sighed and walked towards the table.

"Sit down, all of you..." He said turning around. Everyone walked over the corpse and took a seat. Julita had to move up her dress to sit comfortably however was still shedding tears.

"I was not a bodyguard always... I used to be a simple dentist and former producer of a band called Owl City. However as the years went by, they got too old for the new society and disbanded... I was forced to be a bodyguard for this sick man... My wife and I were forced to abandon our home and we had to work eternally for nothing we were slaves... My wife was a victim of his hell also... She was forced to work for this man who now lies dead at our feet... He made a mockery out of all of us, and when he found out about my wife's past, he told her if she and I ever left this home unsupervised, he would expose her. She defied him and left, and he blackmailed her to her family and employees. It was such a dramatic secret that when she found out she was exposed, it was too much for her, so she went home and stabbed herself to death..." He said with choked tears. Ms. Crystalheart gasped at the sad tale. Ms. Shiki got up and gave the sobbing dog a handkerchief.

"Thank you... And now, since the suicide of my wife was permanently scarred in my memories, I did research and found out that his money came from other victims who paid him to keep their secrets out of the public... This whole mansion is nothing but lies paid from you guys, my wife, and possibly others out there falling victim to this man, so I created the letters, invited you all, and possibly try to force him to confess while it was broadcasted live in another room, and turn him over to the police..." He said while wiping his eyes with the hanker.

"So everything is explained...." Mr. Nick said looking down at the ground. Ms. Kadmiel scoffed.

"Nothing's explained yet, we don't know who killed him!" She said.

"Well.... All we need to do now is find out who tried to grab the gun in the nest 45 minutes before the police come..." James said thinking and walking in a pace.

"Oh no, we can't have them come here now!" Ms. Crystalheart blared standing up looking at James.

"But how can we find out which one of you guys did it?" Mr. Chihaku said while walking around.

"What do you mean, which one of you did it?" Mr. Rose said looking at him with suspicion.

"Well I didn't do it!" Mr. Chihaku cried out.

"One of us did, we all had the opportunity." James said walking around.

"Oh wonderful, we'll all go to jail!" Ms. Kadmiel replied smiling.

"Who wasn't with us when we were in here other than Julita?" Mr. Nick said. James and Julita muttered the cook with thought.

"The cook!" They both yelled. They started to run towards the kitchen with the group behind them. They made it to the kitchen where the knives were on the counter, but no cook was around. The group went in the white room looking for any sign of the Japanese cook, but there was nothing. All that was around was some utensils on the counter, some cooked food, and the TV was playing Lucky Star. Mr. Chihaku looked around to the pantry door.

"She's not here, I think she's in another room." He said looking around and thinking. Suddenly the pantry door flew open and Ms. Kadmiel and Mr. Rose screamed as the cook fell on top of Mr. Chihaku sending them to the floor. The cook had the Athame stabbed in her neck, and blood was draining down her shirt and the gleaming white tiled floor.

"I didn't do it, I fucking swear it! Someone please help me!" The fox screamed trying to get the dead cook off of him. Mr. Nick and Ms. Shiki managed to pull the cook off of him and laid her on the ground. Ms. Shiki then reached for the Athame.

"Don't touch it, it's evidence!" Mr. Nick replied grabbing her hand.

"What? We can't take fingerprints here!" She replied. Mr. Nick suddenly turned to James.

"I think you need to explain yourself James!" He growled.

"Why me?" He said.

"Why would anyone want to kill the cook?" Mr. Rose asked.

"Dinner wasn't bad at all in fact it was good!" Mr. Chihaku said.

"How could you say something like that at a time like this?" Ms. Kadmiel said giving a mean look.

"It's my defense calling." He said.

"Some defense you got, if I was the killer, I'd kill you next just for saying that." She said. Chihaku then gave a shocked look and crossed his hands. Everyone else looked at her the same way.

"I said if!" She said nervously. She suddenly turned to Ms. Shiki.

"Oh please I didn't kill the cook, it's her!" She said pointing at the red fox.

"I admitted nothing!" Ms. Shiki said backing away.

"Yeah, how many boyfriends did you have in the last year?" Ms. Kadmiel asked.

"Mine or other women's?"

"Yours!"

"14."

"14?"

"Yes just the 14. Boyfriends are like swifter pads. They cling to you, they wipe you clean, and are disposable." She said.

"You lured them to their deaths like a worm on a hook waiting for fish to come!" Ms. Kadmiel said in her face.

"Worms are when boyfriends are most vulnerable!" Ms. Shiki replied.

"Exactly! But YOU had the Athame, so you did do this!" Ms. Kadmiel said pointing at her.

"No I didn't, I put it down in the Living Room after the lights were turned on. Any of you could've picked it up." Ms. Shiki said as she smiled at the bunny's face.

"Well, I suggest we put the body in the Living Room!" James replied clapping his hands.

"Why?" Mr. Rose asked.

"I'm also a little bit of a butler, and I like to keep this area of the house tidy so food won't be contaminated." He said. Ms. Shiki, Ms. Crystalheart, Mr. Nick, and Mr. Rose were all carrying the cook's body down the hall with each limb. She seemed to be very heavy despite her looking thin. Suddenly Mr. Nick gasped and dropped one of her limbs and pointed in the Living Room.

"Look! The body is gone!" He said shocked. Everyone dropped the cook's body in surprise. There was nothing at Mr. Bieber's spot except for the Silver Gun, Mary Jane Rope, and the Curtain Rod.

"What are you all staring at?" Mr. Chihaku replied unable to see.

"Nothing!" Mr. Rose said.

"What do you mean?" Ms. Kadmiel replied.

"Nobody! Mr. Bieber's body is gone!" James replied.

"It's a great trick!" Mr. Nick said.

"Maybe he wasn't dead!" Ms. Shiki replied.

"He was! Mr. Chihaku said so!" Ms. Crystalheart replied pointing at the fox.

"He was! He had no breathing or pulse whatsoever!" He replied.

"Could he have been revived?" Mr. Nick asked. Suddenly Ms. Kadmiel pushed through the group.

"Where is he?" She said.

"We better look for him immediately!" James said walking inside the Living Room with everyone following closely behind him.
