Narrator 2: The suspects and investigators have been rounded up in a locked room. Nobody gets in or out, and it's only a matter of time before someone cracks. Lighting and thunder rumble and spark outside-

Narrator: Don't believe them, it's a beautiful sunny day. They're being theatrical. 

Narrator 2: Get out.

*Narrator leaves*

Narrator 2: Good. Now, everyone sits on their chairs while Harry and William interrogate them.

William: On the twenty-seventh of May twenty three years ago, did you or did you not disguise yourself as an old man to rob antique stores?

Timmy: I- uh- no?

William: Are you sure, Timmy?

*Timmy has a look of pure guilt on his face*

Harry: You did, didn't you?

Gwen: If I may, what does this have to do with my mothers murder?

Harry: Nothing, we just hate Timmy. 

Daniel: Timmy's here? I know it was you who took my damn pen!

Gwen: No, that was me.

William: Anyway! Who here has been in recently been in contact with Linda?

Gwen: I spoke to her yesterday, and found her body today.

Daniel: I spoke to her earlier today, about six in the morning.

*Harry and William are pacing in front of the group, rubbing their chins with their hands*

Narrator 2: The situation's getting tense. Nobody knows who it could be*

Gwen: Don' call me crazy, but I have something I must say.

*Harry and William turn to her, waiting*

Gwen: I saw an apparition of my mother, earlier today. She was definitely murdered, she told me so. But she didn't say who.

William: Alright. We have no proof. You can all go, we shall regroup another day or something.

Harry: What?! *He turns in outrage to William* My mother was murdered! We can't let these people go!

William: Yeah, but also, we can't prove who it was. Better to cut our losses, you know?

*Harry glares at William while everyone around them leaves*

*Harry inhales a deep breath, seething, and pounces on William, wrestling him to the ground.Someone slams the door to the room as they continue to fight*
