" Are we really going to do like what they said ?!" asked Quinn angrily.
Teddy just remains silent counting the possibilities of their strategy.

" Let's just vote Pigeon." said Daniel.
" NO !" shouted Quinn, " if someone betrays, then we are doomed !"

" Then we'll continue to vote crow ?" asked Ernest blowing out her smoke.
" They will be voting for pigeon, so let's vote crow to take the safe way." persuaded Quinn.

***

" What will we vote, Mr. Shane ?" asked Anna.
" Wait."

***

Daniel puts his vote inside.
Daniel accidentally looks at Anna.

Anna smiles.
Daniel smiles back shyly.

" Now, we're going to count the votes." said Chelsy.

Crow Pigeon
...8... ....0....

" Whaaaat ?!" shouted Quinn.
The board goes red for a while again.

But this time, their scores are really red.

A -3
B -1
C -1
D -1
E -1
F -3
G -1
H -1

Ernest turns to Shane.
" Hey ! If we all keep doing this, no one will get any money !" shouted Ernest.

" That's right !" said Teddy.
" Exactly." said Shane.

Everyone stares at Shane.
" Now you know that you can't vote crow. So let's all.. vote pigeon." said Shane ending with a smirk.

Anna smiles.

***

Note :

The voting takes place in a room.
Only one people may go in a time.

Yet, everyone must enter the room.
If the time stops and someone didn't enter the room, that person will face a debt of a million.

There are two boxes.
A box of pigeon votes and another box of crow votes.

Just choose a vote and scratch it with your pen.
Each people's pen differs in the ink.

The voting box will detect whether a second vote has been put with the same kind of ink, if it really does, it will only count the first vote.

Therefore, the second vote doesn't count.

      ===========================

Round 4
They vote one by one.

Time stop
" Now, we will begin to collect the votes." said Chelsy.

Crow Pigeon
...0... ....8....

They all smile.
Quinn laughs.

" Let's do this until the end !" said Quinn.
" But I won't give your pens back first." said Shane, " I will continue to use your pens to vote pigeon."

" Of course. Go ahead !" said Quinn happily.

" Say, can I use my pen ?" asked Wilfredo, " I think we should all vote pigeon by ourselves to show our tight bond !"

Anna nods and shows him the pens.
Wilfredo takes his pen and walks away.

They notice that Wilfredo took his pen back so everyone took their pens back and said the same thing.

But they didn't know that they're heading for disaster.
