MM: Scene of the Crime: The Hot Tub

I think the bigger question is WHY, Noel.

*looks at the familiar faces*

Eddie, if you thought he was asleep, you should have woken him up. It's unsafe to not be fully conscious in a hot tub!

Oh god... epic. *sniffles*

 

Well, if you girls are telling the truth that leaves Holly, Crystal and Brooke...

 

Yeah, they're suspiciously absent.

 

Hold on now. Let's not accuse anyone.

Some of us are still sleeping. Maybe they know more.

Torrance, dear -- you need a drink. You go the main room, we'll follow you.

 

Who says it was a girl? You don't think that this may have been pre-meditated? This could be a frame to make us assume the killer is female.

 

You're right, Noel. The bar is in the Main Ballroom, everyone.

 

Right. No one comes near this place unless I say so!

 

*Walks by bathroom and notices caution tape blocking off the enterance. Calls downstairs...*

WHAT is this? What is going on here?

 

Watch out, woman! I'm looking for tracks.

Go inside with the others, they'll tell you what happened!

 

Gosh, don't be so jumpy Noel! Alright, I'll have the others explain what is going on here.

 

//puts the dryer in a plastic bag

I'll take that, thank you.

//picks up the glass on the table

As for you, little friend, I must be severely mistaken if you won't provide me with some interesting information.

 

What's all the this noise? I'm trying to catch a beauty nap. Have you people no..... OMG!!!

Is that...... epic? Is he? He can't really be.....


//faints

 

//sees two bodies on the patio

I hope that this isn't another killing.


//slaps Holly's face till she wakes up

Are you ok?

//brings Holly to her room

 

//Finally gets out of bed and leaves her room with the intent of doing some hot tubbing. Arrives a couple hours after everyone else. Sees, well, everything there is to see...

Oh my god, epic! No! Who could do such a thing?!

//Bursts into tears and runs back to room.

 

Five days later...

Here we are, Eddie. The scene of the crime.

//gives him a penetrating look

 

Yeah, it still gives me the creeps, but why are we here? What do you have to show me?

 

Easy, Eddie, easy...

Remember you said I never solved a crime? Well, you'll be surprised at my progress. Soon, this ailing mystery will be put out of its misery.

Watch how I demonstrate what happened. And pay close attention.

Unless you have important business to do...?

 

Not at all. If you're actually close to solving this crime, that means we might actually be able to leave soon. And I for one can't wait to get out of here.

So please, proceed...

 

//walks to the middle of the room

It's funny. I could swear I saw you talking to Torrance yesterday.

 

Yeah, we've gotten a bit closer over the past few days.

And you have to admit, she is quite an attractive dame.

 

Yes...yes.

But you mustn't think too much of her affection for you. Obviously, she is a bit confused right now.

 

Yeah, I guess so... maybe. Why are you so worried about it?

 

I'm not worried.

Would you ever believe she was a killer?

//sits down on the edge of the tub

 

Torrance? Nah, it doesn't really seem to fit. Still, I have seen stranger things in my life.

What are you getting at Noel?

 

I'll tell you a little secret.

Torrance was with epic the night he was killed. He drank a glass with her in the tub, and obviously had some fun with him.

//stands up

Then, she left the tub. Naturally, she dries herself. Maybe she and epic start to argue. People have heard arguing. She gets angry, and in a fit of anger she throws a hair dryer...

//mimics the movement

...into the tub, electrocuting epic. He, still alive, writes her initial in the mirror.

Do you believe that could have happened? When you see her, do you ever get the feeling she may be a danger to you?
