...

Not again....

Not these two....

*sigh*

Upon Ian's bed lay two bodies, the bodies of the lovers.  MrCrainer, Crainer, the super busybody and SSundee, Ian, the super baker...were both dead.  Crainer lay facing downwards on Ian.  #Crundee much?  Anyways, there was a distinct cut across both their necks, suggesting that their throats had been slit.  What was the line that Jerome saw in the darkness?  Bob.  Bob was sticking out of the back of Crainer, buried about halfway up the axe head.  The worse part?  ...there was blood all over the front of Jerome's suit.

The mastermind watched as Jerome's face changed from shock to terror as he looked down at himself.

A figure bound in the corner was shouting, but the gag prevented them from saying words.

The mastermind glanced at the figure and smirked evilly.

They flicked their hand at the figure, causing the person to float up and towards the screen that showed Jerome.

Their expression went from anger to horror.

Tears began falling from the captured's face.

"Don't worry, my friend, it will all be over soon."  The mastermind spoke.

The figure struggled at the ropes bounding them, but it wouldn't budge.

They shouted at the mastermind, but it did no good.

The mastermind watched in amusement as their prisoner struggled and fought against the bonds.

Eventually, the mastermind grew bored and tossed the bound figure back to the corner.

The figure landed with an oof.

The figure glared at the mastermind through tears, but the figure was helpless.

They only hoped that Jerome would figure out the truth....
