Murder Mystery (ENG)

14

POV Colby

Me and Faya sat up all night reading all the posts to find out how it works. For instance, I think we have already figured out that the game is some kind of drug he wanted to order. And the hour how many grams. Only we couldn't find back where they arrange appointments. It could be written in but then we are looking all over it. We already know a bit more and it is almost solved. We just need to find out who he is and where he lives. Tonight we would be filming for the last time so I hope we can find more answers. Five more days and we return home. I was really not looking forward to it. It was way too much fun here, with Faya. Me and Faya were sitting in the garden again from the hotel. She had her guitar with her and I had a box for music. Alternately, she played all kinds of songs with a line dance in between. It was great to watch. I tried to join in while sitting down which was a funny sight. She taught me a few steps. Some were still too difficult because of the pain but the rest were okay.

These are the most familiar steps. Shuffle, lockstep, rumba box, montery turn,... you have quite a lot of variation in them too,' she explained and demonstrated. It was also so crazy to see with all the songs that she also knows the dance. Not a single mistake and she never pulls them through, even though some are hugely similar.

'How do you keep everything apart? I don't participate and I'm already going nuts with all those names of steps and dances...'

'Photographic memory, I also know all the songs by heart and so perfectly know a tag or restart sit,' she laughed.

'If I ever see you again, would you please teach me a few?'

'Sure!" she said and gave me a kiss. 'I'm going to miss you, five more days...' I said quietly.

'I know. But we'll make the best of it.' she said with a smile. She took out her guitar again and she started singing softly

Last summer we met
We started as friends
I can't tell you how it all happened

Then autumn it came
We were never the same
Those nights everything felt like magic

And I wonder if you miss me too
If you don't here's the one thing
That I wish you knew

I think about you
Every morning when I open my eyes
I think about you
Every evening when I turn out the lights
I think about you
Every moment every day of my life
You're on my mind all the time, it's true

I was enjoying it so much that I didn't realise Sam was coming off.

'Here you are, I've been looking for you everywhere!' he laughed.

'Enjoying the last few days,' I said honestly.

'Faya?' asked Sam and I nodded.

'I have a fair few things to tell you. Yesterday we went to Niels' place and we think we found something.'

' 'Spill it!

'On Discord, there are a lot of posts with a certain Anthony_Auditore. At first glance it looks like gaming but it's not. ' I said and showed Sam everything.

'We hope to know more about this tonight,' said Faya, which I repeated to Sam.

'Wow... This is almost resolved thanks to this. Even the debt threats are in here.'

'Before we start filming I did want to go to the police with this. We went yesterday and told our story. They were going to see if they could do anything. Info from a ghost is not credible.' Sam laughed at that.

'You have a point there,' Sam said. Faya tapped me on my shoulder. She probably wants to relay something to Sam.

'Faya wants to know how you are doing. How you are experiencing this,' I repeated.

'Euhm... It's not what we planned. But this is surely the craziest thing we have experienced especially for you. I was scared to lose you when you were hit by a car. You have been my best friend for years and I don't know what to do without you. I try to look at things differently. If this hadn't happened we couldn't do this. Then it was a video like we're used to. But this... solving a murder investigation? You seeing ghosts? When you came off with that, I thought you were crazy. That you got hit on the head way too hard.' he laughed.

'To be honest, I thought so too. You kept saying there's no one there. And I was like HUH?!'

'Indeed. What about you Faya? How are you experiencing it?' asked Sam.

'At first I thought this was some sick joke by someone. I couldn't understand why that no one could see or hear me. I was in tremendous shock when I saw myself lying in the hospital. I didn't understand... I was standing here how could this be? And then Colby, he did see me.... I just can't explain how crazy this all is.' she told me and I repeated it to Sam.

'Can I quite believe it,' Sam said.

'I'm mostly wondering if I'm going to remember this when I wake up. If not, am I going to believe this when they tell me?' She said.

'Whatever happens, this will never be forgotten,' I said.

'I'm going to get ready and take our stuff and then film for the last time,' said Sam.

'We'll get behind. First to the police with this here.' Shouted I after and me and Faya left.

We just went on foot, since it was not too far. Faya pushed me forward with the wheelchair.

'When you guys return... What are your plans? Please don't worry, I'm not passing this on.' ' She said and I burst out laughing.

'Starting filming for Hell Week I think. And lots of editing of all the Europe tour. The videos should come out after Hell Week.'

'What are you guys going to do for Hell Week? Your last one was too crazy for words, can hardly be surpassed than 1 Week Conjuring.'

'There are several possibilities, we thought once we would focus on haunted objects, it doesn't always have to be places.'

'Sounds very exciting already!'

'It certainly is. Now that I think about it... 'Hopefully that collision is not the fault of one of those objects we've already seen,' I said to laughter.

'I don't want to think about it that way!'

'I can already see the theories passing by...' I laughed. She laughed about it herself.

POV Faya

Me and colby were on our way to the police station. We were discussing their next plans when they return home.

I couldn't help but smile seeing him like that. His smile is too infectious and fun to watch. I stopped for a moment and turned around so I could look straight at him.

'Thank you, for everything, I really don't know if I could have done this without you.' I said and gave him a kiss and whispered very softly Love you.

'Love you too.' He said. Just as we wanted to move on, a man came up to us.

'Hey can you help me...?' he said and Colby nodded.

'Yeah what's up?' Said Colby but instead of saying anything he took a thick stick that was lying there and smashed Colby's head. I flew towards him like crazy to help but couldn't do much. 1 hit and then it went black...
