I ran on the path towards the beach and started looking around for the body. I saw that several others were already searching too.

Before long, someone spotted someone floating on the waters near the shore, and immediately attempted to retrieve the body back to the shore.

We all gathered around the body once it was brought back to the shore and immediately looked at who it was.

There goes another one of us. Samiksha's friend, Camryn, was dead.

"There's no clear way in telling how Camryn died . . ." Katy realized, trailing off.

"Monogram must have already messed with the crime scene before we got here." Samiksha said.

"Well, now we know that he wasn't kidding at all. But look at the beach around us. Perfectly clean. Except for this random dead body right here. Must have done a good job in a short amount of time." Lauren said, looking around.

"Well this is just . . . perfect." I muttered.

"So what do we do now?" Sebastian asked.

"Do what we usually do when it comes to this. Try to solve the mystery the best we can. Since there's barely anyone left, I guess we should search very thoroughly. Got it?" Montana answered him.

The rest of us nodded as we started heading off in attempt to find evidence to this puzzling case.

Also, I think I'm more than 100% done with Monogram and his cheeky little plans by now.

We did the best we can, but since our numbers are kind of small now, along with the difficulty of this case, we can all agree that it was extremely hard to get information about Camryn's death.

But, to be honest, this was a very puzzling investigation. Some of us aren't even sure we can even solve this.

All we could do was hope for the best.

-The bloody arrow has nothing to do with the death of Camryn. Plus, the yelling that was going on outside did not match up with her voice.

-Since Camryn's body had no obvious injuries, we were hinted by Monogram that she died by a pill that was put into her food during dinner yesterday.

-The pill in which Camryn died from apparently came from the warehouse. Only one bottle of those certain types of pills were provided, and it was spilled all over the floor in the warehouse.

-According to Samiksha, Camryn said that she wasn't feeling well after dinner last night for an unknown reason. Camryn never came out of her hut afterwards.

-Dinner in the dining room is normally very calm, and nobody walks around during it. We get our own dinner, and sit back down. If someone managed to slip the pill in Camryn's food, that person would be very careful so that he or she doesn't disrupt the calmness of last night. Plus, dinner last night didn't seem too disruptive. 

-We assumed that Camryn died in her hut instead of on the beach. If Mono is being truely honest with us, and Camryn really did die from a pill instead of drowning or something like that, then we could be on the right track.

-Erin and Katy witnessed something unnatural this morning while they were walking around together, which might be a potential lead. Montana was exiting the warehouse with her hands in her pockets. She seemed like she was hoping no one was watching, but as soon as she saw Erin, she seemed slightly surprised but quickly shrugged it out. But the thing is, it was in the morning, not the afternoon, where Camryn potentially died. 

-Mono only told us how Camryn died, not when she died. So it could be possible that Montana had visited Camryn and gave her the pill in the morning.

"ALRIGHT EVERYONE! YOUR TIME IS UP! PLEASE HEAD OVER TO THE ELEVATOR IMMEDIATELY!" Monogram yelled over the speakers, signaling that the investigation for Camryn's murder was over.

And that was it. That was it. We'd run out of time.

"What do we do now?" I mouthed to Lauren in the elevator.

Lauren was silent for a few seconds. 

"We survive." Lauren finally replied as we reached the trial room.

'Yeah, like what we have is going to help us survive this one trial . . .' I thought as I started walking out of the elevator.
