When they enter the room, they're in for a shock. There's three solo desks, one for each of them. In front of them all is a long table, like those in medieval times. Grizzaka is sat in one large throne like chair, with two more on either side of him, turned around so none of them can see who sits within the chair. Lily gulps and Rose whimpers as they take their places, either side of Casey, who stands strong in the centre.
"Alright Grizzaka. We're ready."
"You better be! Okay, if you want your buddies to come back, you gotta figure out everything to do with this place and the murder game! If you get it right, the masterminds will be revealed and killed, and you'll all go free with your revived buddies! If you get it wrong, you're all DEAD!" Grizzaka laughs and glares at the three. "Give it your best shot."
"Right. Let's line up all the info we got," Casey says, "I'll start. This temple has been the place of numerous murder games... The Masterminds have been here a long time, and they've been busy making sure nobody lives to tell the world. That's evident from all the corpses I found in that freezer morgue. I found a map thanks to RJ which said this place used to be some Kung Fu academy, before something happened... But what?"
"I GOT IT!" Lily raises her hand like a schoolgirl. "The Great Disaster! It was in a book I found! It was like the Wall Street Crash, but it soon turned into a war. People began running round killing others for the sake of getting more money, or in some cases, just for fun! It's shocking to see humanity fall like that in such an instant over money. Over pure greed." Lily sighs and hangs her head. "I wish there was something we could do about it..."
Casey puts a hand on her shoulder and gives her a reassuring smile. "We will when we get out of here. I promise you that. So, what happened to this Kung Fu school that turned it into a killing game?"
Rose taps the table and gives Lily her paper so she can read it out. "I found a book that said the kun fu school was turned intwo a safety building two keep everyone safe," Lily reads out. Rose nods, confirming her words.
"So this place was used to house innocents... I got it! The Masterminds of all this must have snuck in as one of the innocents! And then got everyone to murder each other! They drove them crazy like everyone who killed in our group did! Made them believe that they could get out and be safe and free!" Casey says, suddenly getting a lightbulb. Lily gives him a thumbs up and Rose smiles.
"Not bad... That's almost everything. How did it start then?" Grizzaka questions. Lily instantly seems to get an idea and holds up her hand.
"It started because the Masterminds were the start of The Great Disaster! They were the first to kill others for money and then it all became crazy! Everyone began to kill, but because nobody saw the killers, as the book said, they could get away with coming into the safe house as innocents and then get the others within the safe house to kill each other!"
"So there's two of them... But surely to do this sort of thing you'd need more murders than two. Meaning there could be more involved in this..." Casey starts to think hard. Then it comes to him. "I know who the Masterminds are."
"Who!?" Both Lily and Rose ask in whatever way they can.
"Two people managed to get others to work with them. They seem innocent and trustworthy, then stab you in the back. They managed to trust each other in such severe times... Like a true couple." He looks up at the chairs.
"Isn't that right, JARROD AND CAMILLE!?"
Silence.
Then, a deep laughter starts up, followed by a girlish giggling. The two chairs turn around.
It's Jarrod and Camille. The REAL Jarrod and Camille. Alive. Dressed from head to toe in the finest leather and fur. Laughing like the mentally unwell murderers they really are.
