Elizabeth had joined with Ethan and the detective to find the secrets of Mark's murder. What will happen?Who killed him? Can the detective be trusted? This house holds secrets no one can comprehend. Uncover the secrets...

Elizabeth(y/n): I don't know what trouble  will come but I have to help find out who killed Mark. I wiped my tears and walked back to the detective and Ethan. "Alright partner it's time to get to work" the detective said I stood low by the body with Ethan.

 "Judging by the temperature of the body that I measured rectally,which is obviously the most accurate way to get the inner body temperature of a corpse.

 That's a fact,totally procedure -don't tell anyone I did it" he said I backed away at the thought of touching a corpse like that,I looked down hoping he had gloves...he didn't.

 "I am sure mark was killed around 1:30 last night...So what were You doing at 1:30 last night?" he questioned Ethan said sleeping.

 "The Colonel was tucking me in bed" I responded "I'm gonna ignore the strange fact that you sleep with your eyes open but it checks out. So we need to figure out where everyone was and what they were doing around that time,or at the very least who saw Mark last".

 I nodded in agreement this should be too hard"You need to get out there,see if you can piece together the story of what happen last night I'll stick around with the body and run more...test(deep inhale)".

 Now I was gonna ignore the strange fact that he sniffed his finger right after finding the temperature of mark's body through his butt. I strolled out of the room with Ethan I heard some chattering in the theater room. "Hey I'm gonna check out the noises coming from the theater okay?you go search some of upstairs" I said he nodded.

I tiptoed to the door and I peered into the room I heard Damien but he was not alone."Oh,how can you be so flippant!?" Damien yelled he seemed mad"Flippant!? I'm taking the matter very seriously" that voice was the Colonel's.

"Oh,don't give me that horse shit! I know you hated him,but...goddammit he reached out to you!" how could Damien say that,why are they arguing the thought of childhood friends arguing made me sad.

"Oh,what do you want from me,then?" the Colonel said, how can he say that at this time I could feel my heart fall apart,but he might just be going through grief.

 "Wh-I want you to care!" Damien shouted "Just because I'm not weeping like a child doesn't mean that I don't care" the Colonel responded.

 "I can't believe you...come find me when you pull your head out of your ass!" Damien said, I let a single tear drop "Please don't fight..." I said in a whisper.

 Damien walked over to the door and shoved me out of the way "Excuse me..." he said ,I stood there in shock and walked into the room.

 I saw the Colonel in a chair he saw me,"Damien I don't-Oh!Ah good to see you again Elizabeth! You were quite the rapscallion at last night's festivities" he said with a wink,I nodded in agreement but the Colonel knows me and knew the look on my face.

 "But you're probably here to help the detective with his "investigation of murder(lighting)" he said I nodded while he did quotation marks with his hands.

 The Colonel gave me a gentle smile "Anyway I'll help you,I'll tell you what happened to our dear friend Mark" he had some sarcasm in his voice.

"Oh,look at me!my name is Markiplier now!Forget all my friends or the people that helped me along the way just look at my money!Oh,I need to pay people to be my friends!Ha ha ha!You like me?Too bad!Oh glug glug!Oopsie poopsie!I can't hold my booze.Gotta go off to the little boy's room who want to join me?I'm gonna go their upon my stairs MY house has more than ONE stair case.Oh look at me and how great I AM!Oh no,I'm falling!Aaah,I'm dead" the Colonel finished I stood there dumb founded thinking to myself should I believe this.

"And that's what happened.Probably,anyway" he said I nodded, pretending to understand why would he speak of Mark that way. 

"So,if you need to corroborate this story with anybody else,just be on your way and investigate the entire house.Go now I'll be here when you're done" he said while shooing me away.

 "Thank you Colonel,see you soon" I said he nodded in response and I strolled to the door. I saw Benjamin"Come with me.I want to show you something" he said "Okay Benjamin lead the way" so i followed him. 

What could he want to show me...
