The Killer's Kiss: A Deadly Whodunit

whodunit

Aurora's Pov:
"Advise you all to settle down and take a seat" I began I walked up to the center of the stage.
Mr VanRoss walked off the stage "you don't have to tell me twice" and sat down next to his Wife.

I heard the annoying irking voice behind me "I'll stay up here making sure this isn't a ploy for you to escape."
"What?" I said in disbelief, a random man from the Spoke up.

"She thinks you are the killer" just then The chief of police and Ms McGee arrived silently opened the door.

" I know who the killer is" I grabbed the flashlight out of Veronica's hands. "It's no other than Mr Mcgee."

Ms Mcgee gasped"not my husband" Then Veronica spoke up" Mr Mcgee's book store was vandalized earlier now why would he attack himself?"

"To simply throw us off his of trail, and use me and Veronica as a pawn in his game."

"Let's start off with when I first arrived, as I saw all the crime scenes were filled with fairytale books. Specifically from Starblue library."

Then Veronica questioned my allegations" But books you checked out was also at the crime scene." I peered.

"Not exactly I pondered, Mr Mcgee encouraged you to go specifically to Riley's house, because he knew that was the first place I would search when I got here and he knew thay you could never pass out a moment to compete with me."

"But why would Mr Mcgee kill those three girls" Ms Mcgee asked.
"That's what I tried to figure out" Veronica said.

The Chief of police spoke a quote. From the back of the theater and walked up with Ms McGee Following behind Him "Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains no matter how improable must be the truth."

"I remember Veronica saying that Mr Mcgee said "you cannot eliminate the impossible" Which I found sounded familiar.

" Now let's take a step back, Every scene had a fairytale book from Mr Mcgee's library. Who was registered by no other than Veronica who mysteriously quick after the deaths."

Mr VanRoss stood up "you aren't accusing my daughter are you? I looked at him calmly "no I'm clearing our names now sir calm down"

"Stop talking to my father like that" Veronica sneeers. I ignored her "after Mr Mcgee knew I was coming by he knew that I was coming close to the investigation so he vandalized his own library to throw me off track and placed My books at Riley's crime scene for Veronica to find."

"And with Veronica accusing me, getting me thrown off the case he would have time to skip town. He also tried to frame Veronica by manipulating her, since she worked at the library, he made sure that she had interactions with the victims." I said and looked at the audience people were talking amongst themselves.

"It all came together when I visited Ms Mcgee when her key to her chemical Case had been stolen and I found it in Veronica's old work locker."

"He wanted to frame Veronica as a alibi and make her a potential suspect. But his mistakes quickly caught up to him, he left a bit of DNA On the victims that we matched on our database. Also while destroying his library the glass was broken from the inside not the outside which means you had to already be inside to break the door."

I looked around the theater "Mr Mcgee is the only person who is not here."
Everyone gasped
Then from the back of the theater Mr Mcgee clapped his hands"well done Detective Reed but you missed one part of the investigation if I was the killer why would stop my spree.

Veronica's pov
The story was starting to unfold it was really Mr Mcgee the whole time, I felt betrayed and used. I thought I finally was useful to someone in this life. And he just used me like a chess piece he was the one in control the classic puppet master and me as his dummy.

Then he asked"well done Detective Reed but you missed one part of the investigation if I was the killer why would stop my spree."
  I pondered in my thoughts why would he stop he was too far deep in the rabbit hole.
My brain thought for answer which I finally found "People stopped coming to the library, and when Aurora came back you knew you had to cover your tracks. And you used me as your little shield."

"But why?" I asked "why would you kill them?

"Brothers Grimm" Dr Rochester spoke.

"Ah, looks the doctor is back in the office funny how it took you so long to realize" Mr Mcgee sneered.

Mr Mcgee stepped to the spotlight " everyone has to realize that not every story is happily ever after this is real life not a fairytale we are made to be born to die. We are made to only exist not survive.

"People have to learn that there are consequences to their actions but they didn't listen." Mr Mcgee yelled

"So you killed them all because a stupid belief of a fairytale book, there's a difference between fantasy and reality." Ms Mcgee cried.

"This is what you idiotic people failed to realize, you have to wake up and face reality"

"Alright that's enough, Mr Mcgee time to go to the station" the police officers arrested Mr Mcgee and escorted him out of the theater.

Ms Mcgee followed to talk to the chief of police and talked about having a ceremony for all the victims of her husband she wanted him to suffer and for the victims to rest in peace and not sitting in a frozen freezer. She felt betrayed her own husband played her right under her nose. How didn't she notice?

Everyone began to talk about the events had occurred while Mr VanRoss exited to quickly talk to Ms McGee. A few minutes later he came back and walked onto The stage.

Aurora's Pov:

Mr VanRoss walked on stage and asked for the microphone he explained that Ms Mcgee and him decided to plan a ceremony and funeral for the three victims.

My mind just blanked out it was finally over but I missed her.

a few minutes later everyone exited the theater while I stayed behind until I found a tap on my shoulder. It was Veronica

"Good job, Aurora" she looked at me like she wanted to say sorry but I knew she never would I nodded my head and thanked her. "You had some good Detective skills."

Then she spoke "you know about the whole accusing you I never thought you did it I just wanted to prove that I can do it be something useful to the community. All I ever wanted to do was prove something to myself I guess that makes me selfish but I just wanted to say Riley would be proud."

Veronica smiled and began to walk away while walking she turned around "this doesn't mean we're friends or anything."
I smiled at her stubbornness "yup see you tomorrow Veronica."

I looked around the theater once more.

Deliah's pov:

O'Malley,Dr Rochester and I began to exit the building discussing and celebrating the Case we had plans to meet tomorrow to observe the ceremony.

O'Malley and Dr Rochester suggested to get a bite to eat but I declined. As they left I looked inside the theater I saw Aurora just standing there.

I walked back in. "Aurora" I began walking inside she looked at me lost. " I couldn't help them, I couldn't save them" I know she cried not to cry usually these cases don't hit close to home to her.

I wrapped my arms around Aurora and hugged her "it's not you're fault, you cannot change the past & you cannot change the future. You did everything you could to get justice for them."

Aurora sniffled "now come on let's go to my House we can have a sleepover, we can get ready for the ceremony tomorrow together I said.
