A/N:
I will only be updating stories during Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays since I was banned from using any gadget except for a scientific calculator. Yeah, sad I know. Well anyways this isn't a rant update so just read the story.
I'll be ending this story sooner than expected because my friend advised me to write romance since I clearly suck at it.
Read my soon to be on-going story : Happily Ever After. Check the external link -_o !

"Hey!!! I picked up something!!" Xander shouted while running towards me.
"What is it??" I asked
"It said that the other party has a plan to crush you!" Xander said while panting
"They're bluffing! They're obviously bluffing!!" I said while looking at them
It's three minutes before voting time and we already got the lead. It's just three minutes. They won't be able to to do it in three minutes... Right?
RRRINNGGGGGG!!! RRRIINNNGGG!!! RRRRINNNGGG!!!
"What is that? It doesn't ring for three more minutes!" I said but we rushed to the lobby nonetheless
"It's urgent. We're stopping the game. But if you're really itching to find out the results then uhh.. Yayy!! ZeYessa and LeX wins!!!!" Jen's hologram said and we all groaned
"So.. What made you cancel the game?" Zeke asked
"Well.. you see... In this mansion has over 50 employees from our division that I sent to witness the game and has 100 employees that the owner of this mansion hired to watch over the mansion and Avi, the oldest butler in this mansion and the butler that owns this mansion trusts the most, well... He was murdered." She announced and we were all piqued with excitement, curiosity , and other else.
"The depressing thing was that there is over 150 employees in this house and no one knows how he was murdered... We already asked everyone and we narrowed down the suspects. Even the cameras didn't capture the crime scene because the place he was murdered had no cameras in it..." Jen announced and then her hologram was turning to static
"Hey...---bzztt---... hear..---bzzt---... m---" and then she was completely cut off because of a sudden black out and it suddenly started to pour.... heavily.
"The weather forecaster didn't seem to announce that there is going to be a huge storm today." PS said.
"Hmmm.. You know, now that I think of it, You're right." Zeke said while nodding at PS who was staring out the window.
We were all in the lobby trying to solve the case while I was trying my best to comfort a shaken Les.
"Shhhh...Come on .. It'll be alright." I said to Les while rubbing her back.
Les has always been afraid of thunder. I don't know why but... I don't know!! *whines*
"Ughhh!! That's it!" PS grunted and then walked over to me and Les then suddenly she placed a hand on Les' head making her lose consciousness.
"What the---" Xander said while looking at PS
"It's a knock-out spell. Well it's actually a comforting spell that is additional item for my healing but I overused it on her so that she would get knocked out." PS explained
"What if she doesn't wake up?" Xander asked
"She will but not without me, she won't." PS said then walking off to Aki and Ax who is trying their best to crack the case.
"What if this was a part of the game?" Chris asked
"Really? Do you really think that they would kill just for a game?" Amy asked while scrolling through her phone, "Dammit, no signal." she muttered under her breath
"What if it's not a real dead body? What if Jen's story was fake?" Xander asked
"I already examined the body, It's legit." PS replied
"What if---" Xander was about to say something again but Ax prevented him to say something
"Will you please shut up? If you want to keep your theory of saying that this is fake then prove it and get your lazy asses and your stupid what ifs out of here. We are trying to crack the case." Ax said not looking away
"Geez, what got your panties in a twist?" PS muttered under her breath but Ax seem to hear
"I'm not sure, maybe it's because we are trying to solve a murder case that has no witness nor clue whatsoever in the middle of nowhere while it's raining heavily then suddenly the signal took this chance to take a day off and just our luck, Jen is not here with us and can't seem to send us help." Ax said and PS jst rolled her eyes and helped them again.
I set Les down at the couch to help them
"Mannn...This is gonna be--"
"Don't even think of complaining." Ax cut me off and I made faces at his back that made Aki and PS chuckle
We worked for a few more hours until we agreed to have a schedule.
Half of us would sleep for a few hours and while half of us will work and stay awake. Then we rotate.
"Seem's like a good plan." Zeke said
"So Me, Amy, Chris, Xander , and Les will be staying up while the rest of you will sleep since you have been the ones who were working up since morning. Agreed?" Zeke appointed us and we all nodded
"I feel really beat up." Alodia said while plopping down the sheets we laid down on the floor so that while the others are working with the case they can also watch over us too.
We were all about to sleep when suddenly we heard a loud crash downstairs.
We all rushed downstairs to see what was happening but the employees were swarmed at the scene so we asked them to move out of the way which they followed.
When the employees made way for us we saw something that mortified us
It was another employee, She was surrounded by blood and her eyes were open
"Was this caught on tape?" Zeke asked the employees who were assigned with the cameras,"Wait! Don't answer that." Zeke said while facepalming when he already knew what he asked
"Damn this electricity." Zeke said while muttering profanities under his breath
"Who is this?" I asked them and after what seems like hours.. or more like years.. Someone spoke up, she was younger than the rest of them and had a thick Spanish accent
"Her name is Hilda. She was the second oldest next to Avi. She was also trusted by the owners of this mansion." she said and she went back to the sea of employees
"It seems like he is going for oldest to youngest." Zeke said while holding his chin
"or She!" I exclaimed while looking at him disbelievingly
"Gender Equality!" Les said at the imaginary camera with a thumbs up pretending this is some kind of weird Gender Equality commercial.
"Who's the third oldest?" Aki asked and an old looking woman that looks as old as Hilda raised her hand
"You're sticking with us while the rest of you will have to stick together. Do not split up or at least do not have one person standing alone roaming around the house. At least be with groups of three or more. If you guys smell something fishy report it to us immediately." Aki said while pointing at them and they all nodded
We went back upstairs and resumed to whatever we were doing.
