*Alice's POV*

It's been 3 weeks and still no leads. My fever is gone and the rain have slow down, the others is still ignoring me expect for Roy and Jackson. I did not speak to them about the case because I've told them not to interfere with it.

"Everyone! Welcome to the Paradise Campfire event!" The MC announce, smilling energetically despite the rain.

We were outside in a sheltered area on the beach and hundreds of people have turn up for our performance.

"Let the campfire ceremony begin!" he shouted. With a touch, he lit the enormous pit on fire.

Suddenly, Roy grabbed my hand. I was shook and stare at him curiously. He smile, warmly. "Trust me."

He guide me to the stage and grab the mirophone. "I'm grateful to be here so I wanted to perform a song with Alice. Hope you all like it!"

He grabbed his guitar and turn to me and smile again. I smile slightly back.

He mouth a "Sing any song you want and I'll follow."

I nodded.

"You Can Come To Me"

Alice
When you're on your own
Drowning alone
And you need a rope that can pull you in
Someone will throw it.

Roy
And when you're afraid
That you're gonna break
And you need a way to feel strong again
Someone will know it

Alice and Roy

And even when it hurts the most
Try to have a little hope
That someone's gonna be there when you don't
When you don't

If you wanna cry, I'll be your shoulder
If you wanna laugh, I'll be your smile
If you wanna fly, I will be your sky
Anything you need that's what I'll be
You can come to me

Alice
You struggle inside

Losing your mind
Fighting and trying to be yourself
When somebody lets you

Alice and Roy
Out in the cold

But no where to go
Feeling like no one could understand
Then somebody gets you

Alice and Roy
So take a breath and let it go
And try to have a little hope
'Cause someone's gonna be there when you don't
When you don't

If you wanna cry, I'll be your shoulder
If you wanna laugh, I'll be your smile
If you wanna fly, I will be your sky
Anything you need, that's what I'll be
You can come to me

Alice
Like a chain that never breaks
Like a truth that never bends
Like a glue that takes a broken heart and puts it back again
It's the feeling that you get
It's the moment that you know
That no matter what the future holds
You'll never be alone

Alice and Roy
If you wanna cry, I'll be your shoulder
If you wanna laugh, I'll be your smile
If you wanna fly, I will be your sky
Anything you need, that's what I'll be
If you wanna climb, I'll be your ladder
If you wanna run, I'll be your road
If you want a friend, doesn't matter when
Anything you need, that's what I'll be
You can come to me

Alice
You can come to me,
Yeah

Everyone in the crowds clap and cheer. I turn to my group of friends. Jackson give me a thumbs up while Tiffany and Nikki clap and Karry just give me a small smile. I bow and nod at them before walking over, beaming. 

"Good job!" Nikki chimed.

"That was really great! I'm proud of you." Tiffany smile.

"So..." I said slowly.

"You did't do anything wrong... I'm sorry for running away from you when you need us the most." Nikki look timidly at me.

"Yeah... I guess that we are just afraid of our reputation as an idol and being selfish. I'm sorry too." Tiiffany step forward.

"Actually we are quite scared of you when we heard that... but i think that is cowardy to just run away from our friends..." Karry nodded.

I saw Roy gives Karry a hopeful look, Karry just mumbled. "I'm not going to say sorry..." before walking away.

We all laughed.

"Glad that this problem is solve." Jackson smiles, dimples showing.

"So let's continue with with the investigation!" Roy said eagerly.

I suddenly turn sour. "We are off the case. The police will be here tomorrow."

Roy argue. " B-but we found some clues."

Jackson nodded but didn't say anything.

I sighed. "Fine. Let's heard it."

"We found out that An Shen might have something to do with this mystery... Anna too... Fiona say that she is injured and she even hand us a note." Jackson replied, handing me a crumpled paper.

"There is also this guy that is trying to hurt Fiona while we are... outside... trying to keep and eye on her because you know... we thought that she is a suspect." 

"You mean you not me. I was with them." Jackson signal to Tiffany, Nikki and Karry.

"What?" I ask curiously, confuse. 

Roy just shrug his shoulders and frown. " Long story short, she is a pain in the neck."

I look at the paper that Jackson just give me and open the folded paper. The others crowded around me.

"The murderer has a AN in it's name..." Karry read out.

"What does that mean?" Tiffany shiver.

"I think that it could be anyone with a An in their name?" Nikki wondered.

"Uh-Huh. So Qian Xi and I had come up with the name of people we know that could be the culprit." Roy grinned.

"Anya."

"Andrew."

"Anthony."

"Fiona."

"Anna."

"Erman."

"Alvin."

"What?! Erman would never!" Tiffany fumed.

"You'll never know..." Jackson smirk.

"So... this 7 people?" I said slowly.

"Actually, it's 6." Erman frowned as he join the group.
"At 5:00pm today, Jeon Anna was found dead in the Crystal rock caves..."

We gasped and mumbled.

"How could this happen?!" Tiffany shouted in shock.

"I don't know..." Nikki frown.

"While, I got to leave to settle somethings... I'm so busy now a days since the murder started. I seriously hate the culprit so much that if I know who he is, I'll punch him." Erman mumbled under his breathe as he walk away.

"I think we should go and check the scene of the crime." Jackson said.

"I agree." Roy raise his hand, serious.

"Are you guys crazy? Let the police solve this case! We are here to enjoy our holiday, not to solve a murder mystery!" Karry object, arm cross.

"While... I have to agree with Roy and Jackson. It is our fans that have died and I think the most we can do is help to find out who is the killer. I feel responsible." I chimed in.

Tiffany and Nikki glance at each other before turning around to face us, giving an approving look. Roy and Jackson nodded, looking determined.

Karry, heaved a sigh. "Fine you guys win. Let's go catch the bad guy."
