Matt lifts the glass from Katarina's hand and smells it. He puts the glass down and sighs.

[Matt] I have no idea what was in that drink put it definitely isn't wine.
[Kaylie] How do we know what food is poisoned and what isn't?
[Lucia] We don't. Everyone, from now on, you aren't allowed to eat or drink anything.  Anything in here could be poisoned so be careful.

Lana quickly puts her water down. The guests more even farther away from each other, knowing anyone in there could be a killer. Three people are already dead and the only thing on their mind is; when will the three, become four? They question even more guests but no one admits anything. They go through the guests rooms but found nothing. Lucia is getting more anxious by the minute.

[Kaylie] We should search the maid's quarters.
[Lucia] Good idea!

They walk to the basement, where they find a living area and a hallway that leads to the the maids' rooms. Kaylie starts looking in the cabinets, while Matt looks under the couch. Lucia walks to the small hallway and starts looking in the maids rooms. Kaylie tries to look behind paintings, not sure what she expected to find. Matt peeks behind the small tv but finds nothing. Absolutely nothing. He sighs.

[Matt] This is hopeless! We are never going to find the killer!

Lucia looks under the bed, behind the wardrobe and under the desk. She went through every cabinet in the room. Nothing. She walks in another room and does the same thing; she looks under the bed, behind the wardrobe and under the desk. Nothing. She's getting desperate. She runs in another room and looks everywhere. Nothing. Kaylie and Matt notice how desperately Lucia is trying to find a clue. They walk up to her.

[Kaylie] Lucia, are you ok?
[Lucia] No! My son is dead. Dead! I want to find out who did it, and when I find out who it was, I'm gonna sue them for every penny they have!

Lucia's face is completely red. She punches a wall and cries. Matt tries to make her feel better.

[Matt] Lucia, I know your mad right now, but we seriously need to continue searching now.
[Lucia] Oh you sad little man can't you see that I've tried?

Matt backs away and Lucia storms off. She kicks down another door and searches through it. Kaylie walks in and notices something.

[Kaylie] Is that a vent?
[Lucia] Yes.

Kaylie sits down on the floor in front of the vent and removes the vent door.
She puts her hand in and grabs something. Matt and Lucia gasp, as they see Kaylie pull out a bottle with the tag 'Poison'.

Well that was unexpected.
