James turned around and walked back to the group to relieve himself of his fake hospitality.
"Where's the key?" Mr. Nick replied.
"In my pocket... Do you want me to throw it out in the blizzard?"
"Yes please!" Everyone yelled. James hurried to the door, opening it to reveal a winter wonderland of below zero temperatures and blistering winds filled with crystal particles of ice. He threw the key with all his might which vanished in the white snow. He then shut the door and locked it.
"That should get rid of this maniac's antics." James replied with relief. Ms. Kadmiel then ran towards the dog with fear.
"James, let me out please!" She replied.
"No."
"Why not!?"
"We have to know who's been doing this, we're all in this together now."
"If you leave, then that means you're the murderer!" Ms. Crystalheart replied from a distance. Ms. Kadmiel then switched to plan B and tries to seduce James by holding his muscular arms.
"Oh James, you will regret doing this, when we're alone together one day-"
"Ms. Kadmiel, I'm gay and you know it, so you're staying here until we find out who is causing this." James replied sternly. Mr. Nick suddenly started walking towards the Library.
"I could really use a drink right now..." He said feeling shook up. Everyone agreed to the idea and followed him into the library where there were still different forms of drinks on the shelf. He grabbed a certain bottle that said "Watermelon Wizard" and poured it in a scotch drink.
"Anyone else want one?" He asked.
"Hit me up man." Mr. Chihaku, Mr. Rose, and Ms. Crystalheart replied. He then poured them each a drink with the perfect amount. Mr. Nick grabbed his drink and turned over to James who was at the door.
"Now James, ask me this... Is there anyone else in this house other than us and the Xenomorph?" He asked. James hesitated.
"No."
"No?"
"No, I mean no as in yes."
"What the hell? No meaning yes? Look James, we demand a straight answer, is there ANYBODY ELSE in this house YES or NO?"
"Um...No."
"No there is, or no there isn't!?"
"Yes..." James replied. Ms. Crystalheart stomped her big foot on the ground causing a huge shock in the room causing some books to fall off the shelf.
"DAMN IT!" She screamed. Everyone looked at her with a blank look. Especially Mr. Rose and Mr. Chihaku who had straws in their mouths.
"Can we please find a way to get that thing out of this place before it finds out what's been going on here please!?" She said with an angry look. Mr. Chihaku then stomped towards the lady.
"How in the hell can we throw him outside this blizzard!?" He yelled.
"Oh so you saw his dick?" Mr. Rose asked with a drunk smile.
"Shut the hell up..." Mr. Chihaku said feeling very annoyed, looked back at the giggly Dalmatian.
"If he stays here, he might get suspicious." Ms. Kadmiel said with fear.
"If I was him, I would be suspicious already!" Mr. Nick yelled.
"Oh who cares!? It wouldn't matter! Let's give him a drink for another 30 minutes! The police shall be here by then, and there's a dead fox and a dead dog in the living room! That's 2 dead bodies!" Ms. Shiki yelled with all her might. Everyone jumped up and shushed her with an evil hush. Mr. Nick then turned back to James.
"Please James, just give us a straight answer, please!!" He yelled.
"FINE!" James screamed. He then cleared his throat.
"What was the question once more?" He said.
"IS THERE ANYBODY IN THIS MOTHERFUCKING HOUSE!?" Mr. Nick screamed.
"NO!" Everyone yelled. Nick looked at the dog and walked away from him. Ms. Shiki then thought of an idea.
"That is what he says, but how sure are we? I suggest we should split up into pairs and search this mansion just to be sure..." She replied. Mr. Chihaku gasped.
"Split up!?" He said with a sad look.
"Yes, we only have 30 minutes, so we need to make use of that time and find out where the murderer is." Ms. Shiki replied softly. Mr. Rose then jumped up from his seat to the fox.
"Wait! If one of us is the murderer, if one of us is paired up with him or her, the killer might get killed!" He said with fear.
"Then we could've discovered who the murderer was!" She said a little louder.
"But the other person would be dead too!" Mr. Chihaku said with a sensitive look.
"I'm sorry to say this, but this is war Chihaku. I know, my husband was once a war veteran for Fur War III, he said that casualties are completely inevitable right now, you can't make an omelet without breaking a couple of eggs, even Chef Ramsey would tell you that." She said to the saddened fox.
"But look what happened to the chef!" He said with a small tear.
"What choice do we have..." Ms. Kadmiel replied.
"None..." Mr. Nick replied. Julita then got a tearful eye.
"Ohhh, but it is dark and dusty in the attic and I get allergies and scared... Will anyone go with me kudasai?" She asked with a scared look.
"I will." Ms. Shiki replied.
"So will I." Ms. Kadmiel replied secondly.
"Uh, no thanks." Mr. Rose said with a blank face. James sighed in surrender to the idea.
"That's the only choice we have.... I suggest we draw straws for our partners." He said reaching for the drink straws. He took out a small pocket knife and chopped 1 pair of very short straws, 1 pair of short straws, 1 pair of medium straws, and leaves 1 pair of straws alone. He then turned around and positioned them to look the same, and then turned around to the group with a serious face.
"Ok, whoever gets the matching straw is their partner. The shortest look in the basement, the short ones get the first floor, the medium ones get this floor, and the longest ones get the attic. Stay in your own floor and no one else's understand?" He said sternly. Everybody nodded and began to grab their straws to find their partner. Ms. Kadmiel looked around the group for another short straw to find out Mr. Nick was her choice. She sucked her teeth and rolled her eyes but said no word. Ms. Shiki got a medium straw and found out that James himself was her partner. She smiled and winked at him with a giggle. Julita received a very short straw and found Ms. Crystalheart was her partner. She nodded to her as did Ms. Crystalheart. Mr. Rose grabbed a long straw and looked at everyone else's straws to find out his didn't match with anyone. He then walked to Mr. Chihaku who also had a long straw and placed them together. He then put his arm around the fox's shoulder.
"It's just you and me foxi boi." He said looking into his eyes with a smile. Mr. Chihaku coughed and blushed at him with a smile back. Everyone then left the library to the hallway.
"Well we just left the library. We know what's in the living room and the alien is locked up in the study." Mr. Nick replied.
"Let's try the rec room." Ms. Kadmiel said with a cogitative thought. Everybody began to move into their floors. Julita and Ms. Crystal heart went down to the first floor into a small door leading to the basement. Ms. Kadmiel and Mr. Nick followed behind them downstairs to the rec room on the first floor. James and Ms. Shiki walked around the first floor while Mr. Rose and Mr. Chihaku walked upstairs to a hidden attic.
