"So it's just the three of us." Scarlett says

"And Mr. Boddy." Orchid says

Alex walks out of the kitchen into the hallway where a number 4 was now painted on the floor.

He looks around the mansion.

"Colonel Mustard in the Conservatory with the candlestick... Peacock in the library with the rope... Plum in the Billiard room with the wrench...and White in the kitchen with the knife." He says trying to figure out the pattern of there was any.

Scarlett walks out of the kitchen looking at him.

"Alex? Besides the obvious are you ok?" She asks.

"No. I'm trying to see the pattern. But there isn't one everyone was all separated when the killings took place."

Scarlett and Alex were looking around the secret tunnels for any sign of a hidden room.

"So it would be possible for one of us to kill White, and run to one of the other corners of the house and make it look like we came from there." Scarlett says.

"She died after we found the tunnels. So only Mustards attack could have gotten away though here."

Scarlett looked at a electrical panel on the wall and opened it. Inside was a lonely switch. She flicked it and all the tunnels light up with dim flickering lights.

"Look!" Alex says walking over to the east wall.

"What is it."

Alex picked up the paper he saw and opened it.

Your crimes will be forgotten, as long as there's no witnesses. Do your job and you will survive.

"What does it mean?" Orchid asks looking at the note

"That the killer isn't Boddy." Alex says looking at Orchids gun holstered by her side. Without hesitation he grabs it and aims it at Orchid.

"Woah! Alex what the hell!" Scarlett screams.

"Shes the only person who wasn't here from the start. There was no boat this morning for her to arrive in. I was up watching for the ferry." He says

"You were with us this morning it could have came while we discovered the tunnels." Scarlett says

"The ferry took almost a hour and a half to get here for the last hour we could see the island approach. It took us just under 45 minutes to go through the tunnels. I came back inside 5 minutes before we went down. So I should have seen the ferry for at least 10 minutes before."

Scarlett looks over at Orchid who was standing there with a blank expression.

"You got me. I didn't arrive on the ferry." I came in my own boat and I approached the island from the other side away from the docks."

They look down at the motor boat that had half sunk after slamming into the rocks.
