《Whodunnit 2》Chapter 27 - The Plot
Advertisement
The final five all sat around the outdoor dining table as usual and waited for Giles' expected arrival.
Kendra, Grace & Cecilia sat on one side of the table while Brett & Chantal sat on the other. The girls had no interest in interacting with the couple, as once again they didn't offer any information from the riddle to the females. Plus, the fact that all three of them thought that killer was one half of the couple, they didn't feel like getting to close to them anyway.
Giles made an appearance after the guests finished their meals in dead silence.
He announced that Brett had the best case statement once again. Three times in a row the singer had given the best statement of how the killer pulled off the murder.
Grace was at a loss for words, she thought it was useless at this point trying to go up against her pick for the killer (Brett). As he had now become almost indestructible against the game, it was clear to her that he was just recalling what he had done in the murders so he didn't have to act scared if he was in the bottom two.
Kendra was furious since Chantal tried to recruit her into the alliance of herself and Brett. Yet once the riddle was over the couple completely ignored the model, and now she knew she was at risk of being scared once again.
Chantal was slightly annoyed that she hadn't received a best case statement in the three cases her and Brett had given identical case statements. But she was grateful that her love interest was safe and so would she.
"I will now talk through how our siblings meant their end."
"The Story of the Dreyford siblings is a complicated one. Some time ago, Troy Dreyford was an up and coming, talented track sprinter. His records were incredible for his age and no athlete in prior history had come near his PB's. However, after certain months of peer pressure from fellow teammates and general pressures from the athletic community, Troy turned to the bad side. The twenty-eight-year-old starting doing illegal doping to enhance performance and was almost doubling his PB's. However, someone was on his watch. His own sister, Kristina knew he was starting to enroll in Doping and wanted to put an end to it. She blasted her brother on an anonymous scandal website. The story and the proof spread like wildfire and Troy was stripped of all his titles and never found out who was the person to expose him. Now, fast forward to the start of this 'vacation'. Both of the siblings flew out to this vacation from separate airports in North Carolina and were surprised to see each other. Troy was even angry as he thought the vacation they had longed for could be over due to the no family rule. Therefore, they kept their secret quiet and hardly any guests knew before they were before killed. The night before the murders, I slipped Troy a note into his room and told him to come to the library. He surprisingly obliged and fell right into my trap. Upon coming into the library, Troy noticed a laptop laid out on the middle of one of the desks. A webpage was open of the anonymous scandal website and the damming evidence of his doping. Upon further searching, the athlete finally found out who was behind the scandal that had ruined his career, Kristina. Troy became unbelievably enraged and carried out what I knew he was capable of. He was seeking revenge and did what most people would consider the unspeakable. He went to Kristina's room and slipped her a note telling her to meet him in the library. Upon entry, he dosed his sister with normal girls perfume which he found in the great room on his way back to the library. Kristina was highly allergic to the usual fragrance which appears in perfume and knew she was under attack. Her symptoms would include puffy skin and eventual blockage of the throat which would lead to suffocation. She ran back to her room as her symptoms worsened, however, her brother was right behind her. The twenty-year-old tried to close her door once she re-entered, however, she wasn't able to even shut the door before her brother slammed the door to let himself in. Within seconds, he had stabbed his sister several times and she bled out on the floor of her bedroom thinking her brother was the very monster who had already killed six. Kristina drew her last breath as her brother gently closed the bedroom door. The next morning, Troy's anger had still not worn off. He decided to enrol in the one activity on the island which had always made him calm in the chaos of the game, pool. The athlete grabbed a pool cue and was ready to start the game. However, upon lining up the pool cue with the first pool ball in its path, my trap was alerted. Little did anyone know that I had already planned Troy's murder. I had rigged a motion sensor inside each pool cue to explode upon contact with the certain pool ball. Within the line of contact, the explosion occurred and Troy's body was incinerated. Blood sprayed in parts of the room which seemed unnatural for human biology and part of the parlour wall crumbled upon the impact. That alerted you all to my double murder plot and that fact that you were all down to the final five. Your killer."

For once, all the guys were truly at a loss for words. The severity of what Troy had done had shocked them all and made them all uneasy about having been around such a violent person aside from the killer. It was clear to them all that these murders were on a different level. The killer was clearly stepping up.
"Kendra, you are up first."
Kendra took a heavy sigh before grabbing her champagne glass. She didn't think she could take another night being scared, however, she knew her chances of being spared was not likely.
She was .
"Oh my god." Cecilia let her face collapse into her hands once hearing the news. She felt extremely guilty about her alliance members condition. This was now her fifth time scared.
Kendra let out a whine before breaking out into tears and running away from the table. At this point, no one could blame her from the dramatic exit. No one could emphasise with how she felt as no one else at the table had been scared more than once. Kendra must have been going through hell.
"Grace, please show us your fate next."
Grace quickly drunk her champagne and squinted slightly to see her fate at the bottom of the glass.
The author cursed quickly before revealing she was .
Cecilia comforted her closest friend on the island and she quietly wept.
Giles adjusted his bow-tie and spoke up.
"The killer has made aware that only two guests will be scared this round. So, therefore, congratulations to Cecilia & Chantal. You will both be a guaranteed part of the final four."
Both of the spared girls gave each other little smiles to one-another before looking back to Giles.
"It seems that Miss Clarke or Miss Port will be the next to be killed off. The killer has not given me any instructions as of an early wake-up call, so please leisure around the island as you please tomorrow until... the inevitable happens. Goodnight guests" Giles briskly walked away from the table and left the four guests sitting in silence.
Chantal wished Grace luck before leaving by Brett's side.
Cecilia & Grace decided to head once again to the rooftop bar where the game first started when Aubrey was thrown over the roof. It had become their chosen drinking spot most nights when the game was getting too stressful. They both discussed the situation, they both wanted Kendra to stay alive but at this point, the best option was for her to die. The two of them needed each other within the game, they had become very close friends and would always come to one another if information was found. Cecilia didn't know how she would cope if the author was killed off next. She couldn't fully trust the rest of the guests.

Meanwhile, Kendra was slumped over in her desk chair in her bedroom. Her face had become completely emotionless. The model felt completely emotionally and physically exhausted due to the effects of the game. Even when she went to the toilet, she could hardly pass anything. Everything was numb. Before she got off the toilet to wash her hands, something caught her eye.
The bottle of bleach was perched up against the toilet roll holder. Due to recent room cleaning, the maids had replaced each bottle of bleach with a new, full one.
Kendra stared at the bottle for several minutes. The game had caused such an effect on her, was this a way out?
