"Zayn i don't have a good feeling about this.." Louis says rubbing behind his neck. "Maybe we should just quit.. This can get pretty dangerous." He said with a worried face.
"Come on Lou, we can solve this! This is what the suspect wants! He just wants to scare us away, we need to give justice to these boys."
"Yeah... Your right Zayn.. We can't give up, this is just the beginning anyway." He smiles but still has that worried glance lingering in his eyes.
"Good." I smile. "Now Louis let's head up stairs again I think I saw something before that loud noise came from down stairs."
"Alright." He nods and we both head up back up stairs.
I look around the hallway. "There." I say pointing at the wall. A long scratch mark is visible on the wall. It seems like it was made by a knife.
Louis grabs his camera and snaps a shot of it. We continue down the hallway when I see a orange stain on the floor. What the hell?
"Louis can you hand me the squirt bottle, and a Q tip please?" He nods and goes through his messenger back then giving me the items.
I squirt the liquid on to the stain on the floor and grab the Q tip. The Q tip is going to absorb some of the DNA of the stain and tell us what this stain is specifically from. I hand the Q tip over to Louis and he puts it into a plastic bag,and takes a picture of the stain from the carpet.
We continue walking down when I notice a small dent in the corner of the hall. Louis takes a picture of that too.
We walk into a bed room. There's a few pictures and trophies in here and a few football jerseys hanging on the wall.I'm guessing this must've been Harry's room.
The bed is unmade and there's two mattresses on the floor also unmade.
This must've been where they were all staying at during the time being of that weekend.
Louis takes a few shots of the room before we head downstairs to the basement.
"So this is where they found Harry?" I question and look over to Louis.
"Yeah.." He says walking further in. "This is where they found him tied up." He says pointing to the wall.
"What do you mean?"
He pushes the wall a bit. A secret door.
"How do you know about this?"
He shrugs. "I talked to a few officers who found Harry and told me about the secret door leading to another room."
We both walk into the next room, as I turn on my flash light.Blood is scattered everywhere.
The question is who's blood?
"Louis, do you by any chance know who this belongs to?"
"I think the report said it belonged to Harry."I nod my head.
"Okay so we know Harry was tortured here.. So where was Drake Rivers brutally murdered at?"
"No one knows." He says. "They found him in the clearing not to far from the manor, but they don't know where he was tortured at."

*Zayn's & Louis' flat A Few days later; 8:00pm*
"So, so far, we have a long scratch on the wall, dent on the corner of the floor and an odd orange Stain on the carpet." I say putting out my cigarette.
"Pretty much yeah."
"Well we're screwed." I snort. "This all just doesn't add up!" I slam by hand on the table. "How can this be fucking possible? No one cannot just leave any fucking evidence! There's got to be something! But what?" I say rubbing my temples.
"Well it is called the impossible case." Louis says.
"Don't be a smart ass with me Tomlinson." I point at him. "Ugh sorry Louis, this just doesn't make any sense." I take a seat at the table. "I guess I'm just so used to finding everything in a matter of seconds.." I scratch my head.
"It's okay Malik, I'm as stressed out as you." He gently smiles.
"But Louis.. There has to be something else... I mean, we searched the whole manor.. It's been a week!"
"I know.." He sighs.
"Wait." I say quickly standing up and walk to my brief cases taking out the pictures. "Do you have the old crime scene photos I asked you to get?"
"Yeah they're on the table." He says pointing to a file."why?"
"This is why." I say opening up the pictures and comparing them to ours.
"What am I looking at?" He asks and I roll my eyes.
"What do you see here?" I point to a picture of the main hallway wall.
"Nothing."
"Exactly, now take a look of this picture we took on the first day." I smirk.
"There was no scratch." He says. "What happened here?"
" I don't know Louis, I don't know." I sigh. "Do you by any chance have the analyzes back from the Q tip?"
"Actually yeah." He said getting up and walking to his messenger bag. "Turns out it was orange juice."
"How old is it?"
"5 years to be exact."
"It must've been spilled by one of the boys.." I said getting up from my seat. Then it clicks."I think I know how the stain got there."
"How?" Louis questions.
"One of the boys must've been walking with a glass of juice but something must've happened and they spilled it on the floor running away, causing the dent on the corner of the wall,Their foot was probably the cause of the dent."
"Your a genius Zayn!" Louis grins.
"Thanks mate." I chuckle. "Now question is who or what were they running from.."
"Mostly likely the killer." Louis said.
"Well duh, but who is the killer?" I question.
"Could be anyone really.. Then again, we haven't interviewed anyone so far." He says getting up and walking to the refrigerator, taking out a carton of milk.
"Yeah.. Let's interview some of our might be suspects." I say getting up a pacing around."who's first on the list again?"
"Umm.. I believe that Payne guy.. Liam?" He says pouring himself a glass of milk then sipping from it.
"Okay then well be interviewing Liam, he seems like the one who knows more about the black manor than anyone here."
