"Hello this is Linda Waters and you are watching the news. It's 7pm, and there has been a murder. Sadly Victoria Bailey has been murdered. This is devastating news, and police are on the hunt for the killer." The woman on the news says.
'They're going to think it's me? Oh no!' Victoria's father Lewis says selfishly and with a tone of worry in his deep voice.
Lewis hears a very loud bang on the door, and then a scream.
