"YOU COULDN'T HAVE JUST LEFT IT ALONE! COULD YOU?" A male's voice was heard, as the visualization soon showed that of Kit, Janine and Nicole all appearing concerned a bit of a distance away from Desire who was seen staring towards the barrel of a gun that was being held by an unfamiliar figure.
He was a male, ranging at about thirty years of age- with white skin, and black slicked-back hair, along with a scar on the side of his cheek; while he was seen wearing a dark blue jacket that was unzipped revealing a brown t-shirt underneath it, and black jeans with white sneakers; while Desire was visible with her hands up in the air.
"W-We were just trying too-"
"SHUT UP...shut up...ALRIGHT, JUST SHUT UP!" The male stated, as Janine, Nicole and Kit all exchanged looks; with the male shaking his head and adding.
"You're done, ALRIGHT, done looking into this done looking into that party, DONE LOOKING INTO EVERYTHING as far as you're concerned Richard is the one who drugged Nicholas! THAT'S IT, THAT'S THE WHOLE CASE." While Desire shook her head, adding.
"But we know that's not true!...if that were true then why are you pulling a gun on me? IF THAT WERE TRUE why are you getting so upset?.... WE KNOW it was you MARK!" While the visualization soon showed that of Mark's finger on the trigger, before he began to pull it- as the visualization went dark.
"...ONE HOUR EARLIER."
Soon enough the visualization showed that of Desire, Janine, Kit, and Nicole who were seen approaching the door leading into the home they believed Mark was living in, with Desire being the one to approach and knock on the door- as she and the other ladies began to look around waiting for someone to answer, however when there was none- Desire shook her head with a bit of a shrug, before she approached knocking once again to see if anyone would answer.
"I'M COMING, I'M COMING." Mark's voice was heard, before the next thing they all knew the door leading into the area opened up- as Mark came into view on the other side of the door, with a shocked look on his face; as he shook his head, adding.
"Okay, you Nicole I know ..but the rest of you?... I mean what are you doing here, why are you-"
"Can we talk inside?" Nicole asked, with Mark appearing confused and concerned before he shook his head with a nod, moving off to the side allowing for the ladies to enter into the area, all the while Nicholas remained behind a bit of a distance away watching as the situation took place.
Desire went in first, along with Kit, Nicole and then Janine- as they began to look around seeing that the home appeared pretty basic for a home, a simple couch seen facing a somewhat large screen tv; a few photographs hanging on the walls, weirdly enough Desire took notice of the fact that none of the photos had Mark in them, causing her to raise a brow; while she soon added.
