I saw Mike dead, there was some stuffing in his mouth, and I couldn't bear the sight of the young boy like that, so I took it out. I noticed some writing on the piece of cloth, it read,
"The next murder will be whoever sees this. I want to say a simple code, -- .. -.- . / .. ... / -. --- .-- / -.. . .- -.. / -... . -.-. .- ..- ... . / .... . / .... .- ... / -.. . ..-. .. . -.. / -- -.-- / --- .-. -.. . .-. ... / .- -. -.. / - .... --- ..- --. .... - / .- -... --- ..- - / ... - --- .--. .--. .. -. --. / -- . .-.-.- Good luck, though you have no chance of survival."
Now, I have no clue about morse code, nor have I really even heard about it. The only other person who knew about it apart from Mike was Scott. Scott has been so paranoid so I thought I should try to cheer him up while I'm there. I come in, and I see that he's been crying. I ask him about it.
"Scott? Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"Oh, well, I need a bit of help deciphering this, and you're the only person I can confide in."
He grasped the paper I had in my hand, he then got straight to trying to find out the meaning.
After 10 minutes, I see him pale as if he'd seen a ghost.
I look at what he'd deciphered.
