-------------------------

I was almost at the address given. I pulled my mask out of my bag and put it on.

"Yah,why are you wearing that,are you going to one of those orgies or something" WHAT?!?

''You know what,just pull over. I'm not dealing with this shit'' Seriously,old people need to get off their high horses. "hey kid,we're already here'' Oh.

Walking up to the entrance, I greet the man standing at a table while giving him my invitation. He hands me a black notebook along with a read pen and tells me to read the first page before entering. 'More than meets the eye' it said. I finally entered the main room. "Hello everyone,sorry for my late arrival." I say while bowing to the others "I had to cancel an appointement." I continue as I put my tote bag down."No worries,you arrived just in time." another masked man says as he walks down the stairs. "Hello everyone, I'd like to welcome you all to this Murder Party Game"

A murder game? "Like Clue?" I ask aloud. "Exactly like Clue, young woman. I have been watching you all for a very long time. But,I do realize that you may not be familiar with each other,which makes sense." he continues. "For each of you is missing something important about yourselves." What does he mean by that? Something missing? "I don't know why I said that. Enough of that, why don't we take off the masks and greet one another!" he suggests as everyone agrees except me...I blanked out again. Apparently, they've noticed because next thing I know, a hand is being waved right in front of my face. "Oh,sorry I wasn't paying attention!" I say as I take off my mask. I wasn't embarrassed though,it happened so often when I first met people so I'm kind of used to it at this point.

"Let me start by introducing myself. I am M."Ah,so he has a name. "The letter M stands for many things. It is the first letter of the English words memory,murder and most importantly mystery-" I cut him off "It's also the first letter of my name...I think.'' They all chuckle before he continues his speech. "Perhaps,because of this I firmly believe that there is no mystery in this world that cannot be solved." He then talks about his boss,who is apparently named K, - another letter - a mistake he had apparently made and his hatred for another dude named C before explaining how the event would go.

From what I can understand - which is usually not a lot - one of us is the culprit while we are all going to be victims the second the lights turn off and the signal well...signals. M proposes a cheer, to which I ask "Is this alcohol? I'm not allowed any" "Do not worry,it's non alcoholic for you. Now cheers!" "Cheers" "Cheers" "Cheers"

The lights suddenly turn off."Shit"

*BANG*

I really hope that was the signal. Things seem to calm down a little until-

*BANG*

That was definitely not the signal. The lights are back on. Everyone is freaking out and I'm crouched near my table,hands on my ears. This is not good. Why did I come,this was a bad idea. "Hey,are you okay?" the only other female in the room asks. I shake my head as I try to even my breathing,which I surprisingly am able to do. She helps me stand up when the others start yelling about something."What's happening,why were they two shots?" I ask in panic before I see him and his body. M was murdered,and it was one of us for sure. Yet,it seems as if I was the only one thinking so.

I hear the rumbling of a car at the same time as the others,who run outside trying to catch whoever it is. Meanwhile,I analyze the body and try to see where the shot could've been from. I decide to leave the adults and start exploring for more clues,we'll never find anything if they stay in one place. I head out in the backyard when I see it. "Bingo!" "Guys,I found the gun!! Over here!'' I yell. As expected,I get no response.

"Yo! I've been looking around for clues and what have you guys been doing? Nothing." "Hey,little girl,the adults are talking." the one with the weird backpack says to me. "Hey old man,I found the gun. "What?" "She found it?" "The gun?" "It's over here,follow me'' I guide them to the backyard. "See,if you guys weren't slacking around the body,we'd have much more done" "That card..'' What about that card,it's from a tarot set. I'm more worried about the owner of said set than the card to be honest. "Yeah it's a tarot card,what about it?'' Jaesuk pulls something out of his pocket,it's a card almost identical to the one on the ground. "I told you at the beginning,remember? That I found a lost cat for someone" They all nod while I just stand there confused. What cat? "Well,she reads tarot cards you see. While I was getting a few readings, she gave me this card." He then makes the brilliant observation of the numbers on the card,declaring that they will be another murder soon. A forewarned murder. We don't know when,or where but it will happen soon. "We should memorize what he's wearing" "What he's wearing?" I personally think it's a good idea,but il'l shut up. "Sehun, the handsome one also too old for me who shares the few braincells these men have - Minyoung is too precious to be compared to them - suggests that we should find the culprit,and fast. Maybe I spoke too soon.

Anyway, I went back in the house as they were taking too long and I took Minyoung with me,maybe we'll actually find something without them. "So,how old are you? You look pretty young to be a detective." "Oh, I'm 17 years okd, I'll finish high school next year. Hopefully I'll get to study as a profiler." We keep talking about me and my studies for a few minutes as we look for clues.

Meanwhile with boys,they're still looking for the dogs. "Huh,where are the girls?'' asks Jongmin. "Why,you want to flirt with Minyoung again?"

Back with the girls, we're waiting for the "men"to come unlock these doors. When they finally do,Minyoung and I split up and I walk into M's office, immediately heading for the laptop. Locked. As expected. Hold on,isn't that picture..here? I get off the chair and go in front of the desk. I was right,this should be a clue. Back to the laptop,the picture seems to be interactive. Maybe it's one of those 'Find the differences' games? Alright,lets try it. Missing clock,the box and the books. It worked,I'm such a genius! Emails,emails,emails... found it! "Who's this Rena chick? She must be a boss if she opened her own studio,and poledancing at that." "Guys come over here,I found something!"

The rest of the team run in,talking about how to found the catering company where the suspect supposedly works. "Alright,so there's this Rena chick right? She's from this place called the All-Night Shake It Club. In the emails,she mentions Jaeyong and this other dude Jeongtae that keeps staring at her in an obnoxious manner,so I figured it might be C from how M was talking about him earlier." I then told them about how she wanted to break up with him but he wouldn't unless she solved his question."Then it has to be C"Jaesuk exclaims. "Yeah,but she's also pretty intense. She's a pole dancer and basically was outright seducing him from what I can see." Minyoung says as she reads the emails "You're right" "Minyoung,you're good at this.'' So she gets the praise when I found all this information? I see how it is. "She even offered one on one pole dancing lessons" I say. "I also wrote down the address just in case." I tell them while holding up a piece of paper.

"We still need to unlock his phone" Kwangsoo whines like a little crybaby. Minyoung tries and she succeeds. "I said that but it didn't work!" "Maybe the phone just doesn't like you?" I deadpan,making the others laugh. "Hey you should respect your elders!" "Exactly,I should respect my elders,not dinosaurs." Let me twist the knife in the wound a little. While they snooped in the dead man's phone,I went on mine. Hey, I'm still a student and I have a group project going on,I can't risk failing my year! Besides,I already helped them enough. "Kwangsoo,Yeonseok and Malakai,you three can head over to the catering place,Brother catering" "Huh? You called me" Kwangsoo and Jaesuk look ed at me in disbelief, "What,I'm still in school and I have a group project to work on. I have a life you know,unlike you guys" Harry Potter and the audacity of this bitch,if they really think I'm going with Yeonsoek's beautiful shady face,they're completely wrong. "And I'm coming with you to pole dance,by the way and you can't change that." "You can't just decide that!" Jaewook exclaims "And you can't tell me what do! Let's just go,we're wasting time" This is gonna be a long day...
