Prince Manor
(Next Day)

Harrison- (Groans Miserably) Sitting up as I rub at my temples in attempt to ease the ache. I glance over and see that it's already going for 12:00 noon, after a much needed shower and getting into some fresh clothes, I open the door and nearly walk right into the butler. (Mumbles) "Morning."

Tyler- (Hums Softly and Smiles) Holding out the tray towards the uneasy male. "One cup of coffee and my famous hangover cure, you'll be good to go within the hour."

Harrison- (Smiles) Taking the offered cup and little vial. "Thank you." He disappears down the shadowed hallway. (Shakes Head) I mix the hangover cure into my coffee and slowly drink it.

Damian- Standing at the top of the grand staircase as I look down into the main hall, hearing some shuffling I turn to find my friend. (Smiles Tiredly) "Harrison."

Harrison- Standing beside the young Mayor. "How's your morning going?"

Damian- (Chuckles) "Better than yours."

Harrison- (Hums and Nods) "Yes, last night was definitely eventful."

Damian- (Nods Agreeingly) "It was one of Marks best parties yet."

Harrison- (Chuckles Lightly) "I can only imagine."

Damian- Gesturing towards the stairs. "Shall we, breakfast awaits."

Harrison- (Nods) I start heading down the stairs and notice the young Mayor stays, stalking down the shadowed hallway. "Are you not coming?"

Damian- (Smiles Softly) "I'll be down in a bit, dear friend. I'd like to talk with my sister." Leaving it at that, I melt into the shadows and enter the nursery.

Harrison- Not bothering to question the young man, I head downstairs. (Shrieks) My eyes widen in horror as the cup in my hand, falls to the floor shattering.

Abe- Having heard the feminine like shriek as I was already in the dining room, I nearly trip over myself in a rush to get to the scene of the crime. "What happened?!"

Harrison- I shakily point to the body of the young actor. (Stutters) "Is he dead?"

Abe- Gazing from the beyond startled District Attorney over to the body he points at. (Gasps Softly) "Markus..." I take a knee beside the body of my friend and gently press two fingers against the pulse point of his neck. (Frowns Deeply) "He's dead." Sadly looking up I find we are surrounded by Rex, Tyler, Jim, William, Damian and Celine.

Celine- An unhindered pain burns through my veins. "Who killed my husband?" I glare at each person present.

Damian- Grabbing at my sisters upper arms, gripping tightly as I hold her back. "Celine, please. Let Abe do his job." Her eyes glowed in fury as a crack of thunder could be heard and lightening suddenly lit up the whole manor. (Sighs Heavily)

Celine- Turning my burning gaze towards the Detective. (Hisses) "Find out who did this!"

Damian- Gently pulling her away as I coax her back upstairs. (Whispers) "Think about Lila, don't do anything stupid."

Abe- All of us were beyond startled by Celines uncharacteristic outburst, though not a single one of us could blame the woman.

Tyler- I leave for but a moment and return with a sheet, helping the Detective to cover the body of our beloved friend.

Abe- Getting to my feet once more, I gaze at each person present. "You will not be leaving this manor as you are all suspects until further notice." They all agree to my terms, then disappear. "Harrison, my friend." I turn my attention to the man whom still is a bit tweaked. "I could really use your help on this case."

Harrison- (Nods)

Abe- (Chuckles Lightly) "Good man." I hand him my note book and pen. "I need you to go hunt down the others and get their alibis."

Harrison- I take the offered objects and head off to find the others and question them about their whereabouts between when the party had ended to when they had gotten up for breakfast.

3rd Person P.O.V- While Harrison is questioning the Colonel, the Butler, the Chef, the groundskeeper, Damien and Celine. Abe sets to work and already has the main hall taped off, while he looked over every inch of his best friends body hoping to find some clue as to who or what had did him in.

(One Hour Later)

Harrison- After collecting all the alibis, I head back downstairs and meet with Abe whom is out on the back patio. 

Abe- Standing out on the back patio as I stare into the serene water of the swimming pool.

Harrison- Walking up to the man whom is in a daze. "I got what you asked for." I hold out the notebook and pen.

Abe- Startled from my thoughts, I turn to see Harrison. (Smiles Tightly) Taking the notebook and pen, I slowly flip through the pages as I read over the information that was collected. (Mutters Lowly) "William had a personal discussion with Celine and Damian after the party, it started in the parlor and ended in the nursery? The discussion itself ended in an argument between the three and he went right to bed after and woke up to his best friend being dead. Tyler knows all the secrets that this manor holds; he overheard the argument between William, Celine and Damian. He is more than well aware that Celine and Marks relationship wasn't exactly perfect but not to the point they would call it quits or want the other dead. He knows the biggest secret the couple bares is their daughter Delilah." Pausing momentarily as I gaze up. "They had a daughter and no one knew?" Looking back down at the information on the pages. "There are Demons that Celine keeps at bay..." (Mumbles Lowly) "I'm not bothering to question that any further." (Shakes Head) "Rex cleaned up late into the early morning after the party and then got back up after a few short hours of sleep to get the kitchen into working order and breakfast started. George the groundskeeper refuses to step foot into the house, knowing there is a very dark and Demonic presence." I don't bother to read any further as both Celine and Damians answers were pretty much the same as Williams. (Sighs Heavily) "None of this really helps." Turning abruptly, I head back inside and head for the main hall.

Harrison- I follow after the man quickly, coming to an abrupt halt in shock. "Where is his body?"

Abe- (Shakes Head) "It's been here all morning, I have no idea."

3rd Person P.O.V- Calling an emergency meeting the Detective gets all the suspects into one room, not only to inform them of the new development but to read into their reactions and try to weed out the killer.

William- What Abe says sinks in. "Are you saying Marks body just got up and walked?" (Laughs Hysterically) "My dead friend is a Zombie."

Jim- My eyes widen to near saucers. "Zombies, YES!"

Harrison- (Groans Irritability) "That's not what we mean."

Abe- Looking over at Celine. "I know this is really hard for you, but can you connect with the other side? Maybe he's still here and will be willing to tell us what really happened."

Celine- (Nods) "Yes, I can do a seance."
