Day 2

Everyone followed the instructions of the monitor, which lead them to a big room. There was a big screen which almost covered the whole side of the left wall. On the opposite side of the screen was four rows of chairs, each row with three chairs. As everyone got seated, the monitor turned on to reveal the hooded figure once again.

"Last night, Shai died. Today is the second day. I'm sure all of you know why you are here at court. All of you have 5 minute to discuss about last night. Time starts...now."

"Alright. I think that the mafia could be either one of them." A person with short straight black hair said and stood up, pointing at Shai's two roommates. "I don't think it could be..." Jay said, looking at the blue haired girl, hinting her to introduce themselves. "I'm Ivu." She turned to the other girl. "And this is Pau." Everyone nodded. "I don't think it could be Ivu." Jay continued. "And why is that?" Ann asked. "Because I saw her in the library not long before Shai died, and from the library to where she died is a long distance. At this, everyone turned to Pau. "Hey guys..." She chuckled, sweatdropping. Seconds later, Pau stood in front of the monitor.

"So Pau...What were you doing last night?" The mysterious man asked, resting his head on his hands and smirking as he looked at Pau. "I was putting up a tea ceremony while waiting for Shai and Ivu." Jamie, the person from earlier, stood up once again, cutting Pau off. "That sounds suspicious." All eyes were on Pau, waiting to see what her response would be. "But it's the truth!" She protested. "Hey Hosuh. You think she's telling the truth?" Daniel whispered to Hosuh, who was on his left. Hosuh shrugged, undecided. He turned over to his left. "What do you think Ann?" Ann nodded, saying that she thought that Pau was guilty.

"Who thinks that Pau is guilty, please raise up your hands." Jamie and Stephen's hands shot up almost immediately. Ann, Jay and AJ's hand also went up after a while. Hosuh looked at both Ann and Stephens' raised hand. Sighing softly to himself, he raised his hand as well. 'I'm sorry Pau...'

"...Well, I guess it's decided." The man's grin grew even wider. "Then, who should be the one to kill her?" Everyone was shocked. Daniel stood up with a start, resulting in his chair falling down from the sudden movement. "What?!" He yelled. "I have decided..." He scanned his eyes through the whole room. "...that one of you will be responsible to kill the person who you have chosen to execute using the knife over there." He motioned to a nearby table. "This should spice things up, right?"

"I'll do it!" Stephen shouted with much eager in his voice.

Everyone turned their heads to him, as he grabbed the knife from the table. Everyone murmured quietly to each other, wondering why he was so happy to kill someone. "You don't think he's the mafia, right Daniel?" Hosuh whispered to Daniel, with evident doubt in his voice. Daniel stared at Stephen as he raised the knife up high. The knife came down, and in a flash, stabbed straight into Pau's heart.

"And it looks like Pau is dead." The mysterious man said. Daniel raised up his hand. "Was she the mafia?" He asked. "Pau...wasn't the mafia." Everyone gasped, guilt hitting them hard, as they realized they had just killed someone who was innocent. "Pau...no..." Ivu dropped to her knees, devastated. "You...you killed her!" She shouted, pointing at Stephen. Stephen took this chance to flip her off. (XD)

"I swear...I'll make you pay for that!" Stephen smirked cockily. "You can try." Ivu growled angrily, showing him her fist as AJ calmed her down. She sat down, unsatisfied she did not have the chance to pounce on Stephen.

"And this will be the end of our court. Have a nice day!" The monitor turned off. Everyone but Hosuh, Stephen and Daniel left, leaving to do as they please. The three sat there, quiet and not moving, each having a different thought in mind. Daniel, who couldn't stand the awkward silence, decided to break it. "So...What should we do?" Stephen shrugged as Hosuh replied with a simple "I don't know."

"Well actually..." Stephen stood up, slowly making his way to the door. "I'm going to get some shut eye. I'm the detective, so I need to try and find the mafia. And I'll need all the energy I can get. Why couldn't I be the mafia?! It's so much easier and fun!"

"Wait you're the detective?!" Both Hosuh and Daniel exclaimed at the same time, totally forgetting that he had just mentioned about wanting to be the mafia. Stephen nodded, clearly uninterested. Daniel took a glance at Hosuh, an idea popping n his mind. Hosuh looked at Daniel's excited face. He turned confused. "What is it?" Stephen also turned to Daniel, just as confused as Daniel.

"Why don't we help Stephen to figure out who the two mafias are? We can go together as a team!" Hosuh and Stephen looked at each other, then looked back at the excited Daniel. 

"Sure. Why not?"
"The more the merrier, right Stephen?"

"We should have a name...like, for the three of us. What should we call ourselves?" Daniel asked, racking his brains for ideas as Stephen and Hosuh did the same. "I'm okay with anything. Just don't come up with something stupid like you always do."

"Why you motherfudger!" Calming down, Daniel ignored Stephen, still unable to think of a name. "Since this was Daniel's plan..." Hosuh suddenly piped in. "How about Daniel plan?" 

"That sounds a bit weird. And it isn't even grammatically correct." Daniel stared at Stephen. "What are you, a teacher or something?" Stephen grinned. "So what if I am? Anyways...maybe we could shorten it or something..."

"Then how about Danplan?" Hosuh suggested. "The Dan would be short for Daniel." Daniel's eyes sparkled. "That's a great name!" Even Stephen smiled at this, nodding. "Works for me."

For the rest of the day, the three of them talked to each other, making them know each toher even better than before. They found out that Stephen is a trainee wanting to become a teacher, Hosuh is an animator and Daniel works as a mining engineer. As time passed, they turned in early as to have enough energy when scouting the mansion at night.

At around 12o'clock...

*beep* *beep* *beep*

Daniel awoke suddenly to the sound of his alarm sounding. He took out the alarm from his pillow, turning it off as he woke Stephen and Hosuh up.

"Let's get going then." Stephen said, walking out the door, with Hosuh and Daniel following not too far behind. Our Danplan trio walked over to the bedroom closest to theirs---Room 4. The other two rooms, Room 1 and 2, were on the other side of the hall. They knocked onn the door three times, and then stood outside, waiting for a response. The door opened after a while, and the three saw Jay and Jamie, who both opened the door. "What are you guys doing here?" Jay asked sleepily. "Sorry to barge in when you guys were sleeping. We're just checking up on you guys." Daniel replied. Jamie raised an eyebrow. "Really? Or are you just here to kill us?" Daniel shook his head frantically. "Of course not!" Jamie narrowed his eyes, clearly disbelieving him. Daniel fidgeted a bit under the heavy gaze of Jamie, as Jamie soon gave up and retreated back to bed. Daniel sighed, thankful. "By the way, is AJ here?"

"Nope. He said he was going out to get some food." Daniel nodded, determined to go and find him. "I guess we're done here. Let's go check on the girls. Bye Jay!" Jay nodded, too sleepy to say farewell to them. Hosuh, unbothered by this, closed the door and made his way through the hall with Stephen and Daniel.

*thud*

A loud thud could be heard, like something heavy had just dropped. However, there wasn't the sound of something breaking nor crashing right after. The three of them walked towards the sound, finding the source after a while.

On the ground, was none other than the dead body of Jenny. Daniel looked up, and what he saw sent shivers down his spine. He cowered in fear, unable to believe his very own eyes.

...

...

...

"AJ..."
