Book: Alarm, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery
Chapter 10: Andi Killed Duke
Word Count: 725"What do you mean morning, that's - how is that possible?" Lionel asked into the computer.
"Pee-cha-chite! Dock pee-cha-chite!" The voice crackled back.
Lionel widened his eyes. "Peesh - of - shite. Oh." He ran back into the other room where everyone was. "The boat can't come till low tide. In the morning. Six am at the earliest."
"What?!" Claire exclaimed.
"Did you explain the situation?" Blanc questioned.
"There's no other landing point and Miles's dumb-ass Banksy dock was set to low tide height and it isn't buoyant. It's a piece of shit." Lionel said annoyed.
Blanc held up his hands. "Alright. I suggest we all retire to our rooms and keep the doors locked until five thirty, when we will convene here and walk together to the dock. I will stay up all night with the body to make sure it isn't tampered with in any way, I'd recommend everyone get some sleep."
Miles was silent as he stared at Duke but something else caught his eyes. The glass Duke had drank from. It was Miles glass. "Oh, that is..." He stood up and pointed to the object.
"That's... your glass. Miles." Birdie said.
"He... he must have... he picked it up by mistake..." Miles said. He looked at everyone in the room before running to Blanc and hiding behind him.
"Mr. Bron..."
"Miles, come on now..." Lionel said.
"Miles it's us." Claire said, shocked that he was acting like this.
"Miles baby, for real?" Birdie said sadly.
Miles stayed behind Blanc and gestured over his shoulder, glaring at all of them. "I will pay you one billion dollars to find who tried to kill me."
"Miles!"
Duke's phone dinged. "I'm just going to silence his phone." As Blanc moved to find the phone, Miles ran behind the couch.
"We're staying right here in this room, I'm keeping you all in plain sight until that boat comes." Miles said firmly.
Lionel rolled his eyes. "For gods sakes Miles."
"Wait where's Whiskey? Charlie?" Miles eyes widened. "Where's Andi!?" He spun around as if someone was going to jump at him.

Charlie and Whiskey went back to their room, neither of them said anything. Once they got inside they froze when they saw their room was a complete mess.
Charlie looked up and saw Andi looking at them with wide eyes. "Andi?"
"I can explain this." Andi said calmly. "Wait a minute. Is the party over?"
Whiskey sat down on the bed. "No. No. We left. Duke..." Her breathing stuttered. "I left Duke because I couldn't... he didn't deserve this. How am I going to tell his Mum?"
Andi looked at Charlie before kneeling down in front of Whiskey. "Hey, hey, hey. Yes, he did. Okay? He is a bastard. I don't feel sorry for him. He deserved what he got and you are better off without him."
"What the fuck, Andi?" Charlie snapped.
Whiskey stared at her for a moment before she jumped off the bed and grabbed a spear gun, pointing it right at Andi.
"What the fuck?" Andi held up her hands.
"Whiskey, put it down!" Charlie shouted.
The power suddenly went out, leaving them in darkness. "Please don't kill me! Oh my God, please don't kill me!" Whiskey screamed.
"I'm not trying to kill you, you crazy bitch!" Andi yelled. As the lights came back on, Andi ran from the room and Whiskey shot at her, luckily missing her and hitting a nearby statue instead.
Charlie grabbed the gun from her. "Stop it! You're being crazy!"
"It's her! She killed Duke!" Whiskey was hysterical and grabbed the gun before taking off in a run.
"Whiskey!" Charlie chased after her.
They went back to the main room, Whiskey stumbling in first, makeup running down her face. "It was Andi! She killed Duke and tore our room apart! I saw her!"
"What?!" Lionel shouted.
Miles shook his head. "Not today." He took off running, getting away from the others as fast as possible.
Blanc tried to stop him. "Mr. Bron! Oh for hells bells - Everybody stay here!" He rushed after Miles, trying to catch up to him.
