Well okay, so the quiet girl, Angela, was dead. But who was the other one?

I yelled for the others to come over, and they all came running towards the cabana.

"So it was all right in front of us, was it." I heard someone mutter.

"But there's another one..." Somebody else said.

'Was Monogram trying to stall me all this time while we were talking? That son of a...' I thought to myself.

"Umm, hey, Ashley." Lauren said, walking inside the cabana and standing next to me as people walked over to investigate.

"What." I replied.

"I know where the other dead person is, I was the one who found it."

"I found this one too."

"Well, okay. Do you want to see who else is dead?"

"Just tell me."

"It's Julie. Found dead in her hut."

"Well how did you find me here?"

"I immediately ran down to the beach because that's where I thought several people would be. And then Monogram came along and talked to me."

"Was he trying to stall you too?"

"Sorta I guess."

"Well then. This is going to be one hell of a trial if we're going to have to deal with two murders at once. How are we even going to survive this trial then..."

"Now's not the time to ponder about that. I think there's already enough people investigating here. Several people are already at Julie's hut, but I guess you can decide."

"I'll go with you then."

So here's what we all wrote down.

Murdered: Angela

-She was found in the beach cabana, near where last night's party took place.

-She was supposed to be with us as we ended the party, but nobody noticed that she wasn't with the group.

-According to one of the papers Monogram gave us about the scene of the crime (there was the location of the crime scene on it. He could have given it to us earlier but no, he made us waste like 15-30 minutes trying to find the dead bodies ourselves. What a troll.), Angela was killed by a poison that was provided from the warehouse (yep, he has those too.).

-She may have been killed by poison, but there were stab marks on her arms, plus one on her chest, which were made AFTER she died. We assumed that the person was trying to fool us into thinking she may have died from a stab mark, but hey, at least Mono here did some of the work for us. The place of the crime and how she was killed was all he could provide. I guess that's enough.

-Take note that someone must have known about the warehouse in order to have known that poison was actually in there. I'm suspecting the people who had gone to warehouse to get supplies for the party.

-An empty poison bottle was found next to the trash can near the cabana, which is more than likely to be connected with the murder.

-Angela was forced inside the cabana, and was locked in, and died slowly because of the poison. It's puzzling to how she was locked in, because when Ashley discovered her dead body, the cabana was unlocked. Somebody theorized that someone with a bobby pin or paperclip could have managed to lock the cabana from the outside. Also, either the culprit unlocked the cabana once Angela was dead, or Monogram could have unlocked it himself.

Murdered: Julie

-Connections to Angela's and Julie's murders are very unclear. Some additional rules (provided by Mono in a paper left in our huts) state that no one is allowed to kill more than one person. What we do know is that both of the murders took place only several minutes apart after the party. So it's either two people working together, or two separate culprits that coincidentally killed around the same time.

-Julie died in her hut from several stab marks. They resemble Angela's stab marks in her arms, meaning that the murderer used a similar stabbing weapon used to stab Angela post-death.

-Julie was noticed to have never drank from her cup for some reason, according to Montana. More theories arose that the culprit was planning to kill Julie with poison in her drink, but failed and had to go with a plan B.

-The door showed signs of possibly being forced open, like the culprit chasing after Julie after the party. It could be that Julie tried to lock her hut on the inside to hide from the killer, but before she could fully lock it, the culprit forcefully opened the door and killed Julie. That is a possibility.

We're going to have one hell of a trial, and I think we've got all the evidence we need. Hopefully.

I have a list of who might be the killers in my mind, but I didn't bother telling anyone and decided to save it for the trial.

"Now, the trial will begin soon! Head over to the warehouse, and in the back, I have revealed an elevator where you will descend down into the trial room, where we will hold this amazing event! I hope you guys are ready, because this will be entertaining, I betcha! Huhu.. Well, at least for me I guess. Now get moving! I need this trial to start immediately! Mono out!"

Well, we headed over to the warehouse, and sure enough, several boxes were pushed out of the way to reveal some elevator doors. We all climbed in all together, and we all fit inside perfectly, with nobody being squished at all.

I looked at everyone. Solving this will be no easy task. But from all the evidence, theories, and other stuff like that, plus the decent amount of people that we have, we're gonna have to work together to make this work.

But I'd have to admit, with this kind of scenario and the variety of people here, I'm betting there will be at least some drama coming with this trial.
