A/N: Just an idea that came to mind. Some people knew it was Henry, others knew it was Wakefield, and others died without knowing who did it and why. A little character exploration with everyone's deaths in order. Review?

Cousin Ben
I was on my way to the hotel in Seattle. Trish's wedding was in a few days and we were going to get on the boat to take us to that island… what was it? Harvey's Island? Something like that. Anyway, it was going to be the wedding of her Wellington dreams. My uncle could be such a prick. Never gave anything to me, just because I wasn't a real Wellington. I was his sister's son for crying out loud! But his darling daughters, they got everything.
Still, I couldn't hold it against Trish. She really was a good person and Henry seemed like a great guy, too. Or so I thought.
In the middle of the night, someone had knocked on my hotel door. Thinking it might have been staff or maybe Erica, my girlfriend, trying to surprise me by coming with me to the wedding, I opened the door. It was Henry. I'd only met the guy twice at some family reunion or another but the sinister smirk he had on just seemed out of place.
Only when I felt him punch my jaw and knock me out, I realized maybe he wasn't who he said he was.
I woke up under water, hooked up to a breathing apparatus. Well, at least I wasn't dead. But I was tied up and the rudders started going and… well, I'll spare you the grisly details.
How ironic. I was the first to die and the only one who knew that Henry was a killer. It's not like he had a grudge against me or anything, so it wasn't personal. No, I didn't know his motive but I feared for my poor, dear cousin who was marrying the man who murdered me.
My name is Benjamin Ross and I know that Henry Dunn killed me.
