The Manor Killer

Chapter 4: Escape Attempt

It was now 12:20 at midnight, as the pack returned to the dining room, completely disappointed with a mix of sadness in their faces, suddenly, Bob came into the room as he was assisted with the servants who kept him safe throughout the situation. He looks around at everybody with a confused and concerned look on his face.

Bob: What the hell is going on here?
(Asked. Bob curiously.)

Walter: Annie is dead and she's been killed by the culprit..(Replied. Walter, sadly.) I'm too late to catch a glimpse of who's the killer...

Bob then realizes something wasn't right around the group, he carefully looked around and asked about Orlando and jack's absences. The group went anxious as they thought that the two were the murderers. Suddenly, Frankie's scream rang out as bob and walter went to find Frankie running away in fear from the basement. Walter then grabbed Frankie in a tight embrace to calm her down as she was stuttering from being so frightened.

Walter: Please tell us what happened? (Asked, Walter to Frankie. Anxiously)

Frankie: I-i saw jack and Orlando down the basement... (Replied, Frankie. Traumatically.)

Both, Walter and Bob went quiet after realizing what was making Frankie distressed. Walter then slowly opened the basement door and lights up his flashlight as two corpses appeared on the floor which is Orlando and jack, completely murdered mercilessly.

Walter: bob.. You need to see this. (Asked, Walter. While in shock.)

Bob: oh my god... We have found them.. They've been slaughtered...

After discovering the lifeless body of both Orlando and jack, they went back to the pack where they all stayed in the dining room as they informed them that the culprit had killed another victim.

Bob: alright.. (Sighed, bob.) Looks like the culprit has done it yet again, he'd killed Orlando and jack.

The guests all gasped in shock, after hearing it. As all of them begin to get paranoid of who of them will get killed. As the guest never slept due to being anxious.
On the other hand, Carl was all by himself at the trophy room, as he continued on from searching for clues until he spotted a landline. He then went towards it and checked if it was working. But surprisingly, the landline works as he now begins to dial the authorities. As he was dialing the numbers, Carl suddenly heard footsteps coming behind him, just as he turned around to see who it was. Then he suddenly got hit in the head by the culprit, killing him almost instantly. After the culprit had murdered, Carl, he then carried him towards the balcony that connects to the trophy room, before throwing Carl's corpse off the ledge. As for the culprit, he quickly flees from the room to avoid getting caught by the group.

Meanwhile, the group ran towards the garden room where the noise came from. As they went inside the room, they were shocked to find, Carl lying down on the floor. Edward then quickly checked on his body.

Edward: Dear god...

Walter: do you think he slipped off the roof? (Asked, Walter. Curiously)

Edward: maybe, he's been dead before the fall.. Look at this. (Edward, pointed at the bleeding bruise on the forehead) He's been hit in the head by a blunt object..

After Edward had examined the body, everybody went back inside, and decided to check on the trophy room where the murder had occurred. As they look around, The maid points out that one of Leopold Schmidt's gold trophy has been stolen. Edward, identifies it as the object used to kill Carl based on the wound pattern. With their paranoia at its peak, the group decides to search everyone's rooms together so no one can split from the group and commit another murder. As the group searches Norman's room for any clues, Frankie finds a blood-covered Golf trophy under his bed.

Frankie: g-guys... (Called, Frankie. Anxiously, as she raised the blood-covered trophy in her hand that she found under Norman's room. Which made everybody gasped in shock.)

Bob: looks like we found our prime suspect!

Norman: W-what?! W-wait a minute! T-that's not mine! (Stuttered, Norman.)

Bob: I supposed it crawled under your bed all by itself! (Bob tilts his head as he suspicions Norman.)

Norman: M-maybe it did! I didn't murder anybody! (Defended, Norman.)

Walter: tell it to your lawyer, pal! (Frowned, Walter.)

Norman: w-woah woah! This is crazy! W-what about Dianne?! We have no idea where she is! We didn't see her after Leopold was killed! She could have planted it there! (Said, Norman. Anxiously)

Bob: well, I suppose it's possible...

Just as bob was about to speak, a blood dripped down towards Walter's eyeglasses which caused him to flinch as he looked up from where the blood came from as he saw the blood dripping from the air duct. He then asked bob to give him a lift which bob agreed to, Walter then grabs a stick nearby before getting lifted by bob up towards the air duct, he then starts to poke the air duct carefully until the body of Dianne suddenly falls from the air duct as the body is left dangling with her neck been slitted. After bob puts Walter down, he gazes back at Norman.

Bob: You're going to jail, Norman!

Norman: like hell I am! You're never gonna take me away you dumb cop! (With a swift motion, Norman punched, bob in the face which makes bob to fall down on the ground.)

Gene: after him! (Shouted, Gene. As he and the other men, chased Norman)

The chase went on as the gang chased, Norman across the mansion. As they reach the dining area, Walter quickly tackles, Norman on the ground hoping he could restrain him but Norman manages to escape walter's grasp as Norman attacks Walter by punching him. But Walter managed to fight at Norman until he was knocked down on the floor by Walter's blow as the men quickly restrained Norman on the floor as bob handcuffed Norman.

Bob: There's no stopping now, pal!

Norman tries to break free but bob punches his back. The men then locked Norman into a room.

Bob: that should do it, that monster deserves to be locked in for what he did. (Told, Bob. Seriously. As he walked away with the gang.)

Just as they thought they had caught the "killer." The culprit itself still lurks in the shadows, ready to kill someone who went into his path.
