*sigh* I know I'm probably gonna get a lot of hate for this but whatever i like it and thats all that matter.

E.J.'s P.O.V.

I wait outside, waiting for my next victim whenever Pax came around. I would always wait near hotels for anyone from out of town to come back tired or drunk aka unable to defend themselves as well as they could sober and wide awake. My gray skin wouldn't throw anyone off with all the cosplayers around and sunglasses fixed the eye thing or lack of eye thing. I had specifically chosen this hotel due to the fact that they used key cards and not keys but almost ever had working security cams I made sure they weren't. I pull out my phone and plug in my ear bugs acting like there was music playing people are almost always more open with information when they think they can be heard. Almost never does anything useful turn up. I receive a text from Ben who was down the street at a different hotel, said he had "had his fun" and was going home. I on the other hand would be a while, hence the room key hidden in my back pocket, not mine naturally. It's amazing what you can get away with if you just put a "don't not disturb" sign on the door. I was snapped out of my thoughts by a car driving up I bounced my head to the non-existent music as two men stepped out of the car each with a small suitcase, one with black and blue hair and glasses wearing a shirt with a big pixilated "M" on the front, the other with brown and green hair and a small beard. The blue haired one waved to the driver saying "Bye Wade, thanks for the ride." The driver nodded and drove off. I had picked my target the green haired one I knew the second he spoke "oh man I can't wait to collapse in bed and sleep." I smiled. Never killed an Irishmen before never eaten ones kidnies before either. They walked into the hotel and I soon followed them in, praying they wouldn't be sharing a room my prayers were heard when I walked by and over heard them talking to the man at the counter. "Two rooms under the name Mark Fischbach." The blue haired one spoke with a deep voice. I held back a snort. I am sorry for this man for being burdened with such a hilarious name. The Irishmen spoke "hey thanks again man for getting me a room. Damn neighbors knocked out my wifi." Mark patted his shoulder "no problem man you can just pay me back later." After they received their keys they began to head to their rooms "Will do. I still can't believe you didn't know my real name was Sean till just a few days ago." Sean good to know. "Well you've always been Jacksepticeye. Nobody told me otherwise."

"I said that in a video a long time ago."

"You don't mind if I call you Jack anyway though right?" Sean shook his head yawning they soon arrived at their rooms and I stopped at a room down the hall pretending like I was looking for my key. They said their goodbyes and entered their rooms. After a few hours I snuck back down to his room. I was planning to use a key I had stolen to get in but I ran into him on the way down I mean I literally dumped into him. "Oh sorry man, didn't see ya there." he spoke in a calm tone "uh its fine." He was giving me weird look though he was being polite and trying to hide it. I sighed "you can ask about this skin." He blushed "oh sorry it's just why it is gray?"

"I'm cosplaying."

"Oh ya you're that one character from homestuck right?" I shook my head "I'm cosplaying from a book you've probably never heard of."

"What book?"

"It's a book called Cannibals." He nodded his head "sounds interesting. I'll have to look for it."

"Ya you should, but since you asked me a question can I ask one of you?" he nodded "where are you going this late?" he smiled "convenience store nearby has my favorite American candy." I nodded "nice. Well, bye now." He nodded and walked off. I growled under my breath I was careless he might recognize me now. Looks like I'll be stealing a different key card. All well food is food right?

I waited in the lobby till the lady at the counter left and logged in another key card and slipped off to Marks room. The blue haired man would have to do sorry. Sean I guess your visit to the Americas won't be as happy as you had hoped.

The next morning I walked down the stairs tired from the night before. Marks death was quick and painless he was lucky if this had been in the middle of nowhere he wouldn't have been dead for the gutting. I was thankful I had remembered to slip in my glass eyes in before leaving the room I was staying in. I walk passed Sean's room in the hall, he was pounding on Marks door "Mark come on, Bob and Wade are gonna be here in an hour, we gotta go!" I walked closer acting like I didn't know why he wasn't answering. "What's up?"

"Not much expect this ass won't get up. I'm actually kinda worried…" you should be "he's not normally like this."

"Well, did you guys come in together?" he nodded "Are your rooms under the same name?" he nodded again "well then you can ask the front desk for a key." His eye widened "I don't know if I'm willing to just go into his room like that." I sighed "well you clearly have somewhere to be and if you want to be there one time with him there I think he'll forgive you walking into his room." He nodded "you're right." I smiled and nodded and he walked to the front desk "good luck with your friend." Now I had planned to leave I had no intention to be around when he saw the bloody horror that was in his friend's room but Ben came into the hotel. "Jack! Where have you been?" he ran up to me and threw his arms around my neck. "Here, the party was great." He was confused at first before realizing what I meant "oh right, yeah how was the food I was told it was gonna be really good"

"It was really good, but really messy."

"Well it happens." I laughed "so we sho-." But I was cut off by the sound of a scream, a bloody murder scream. "Shit." I mutter under my breath because a normal person would want to know what a scream like that I lean next to Bens ears "there's is a person in that room who gave me food and the person who screamed is his friend and I helped him get into that room." He dropped his head in shame "shit." We walked to the room. Ben gasped at the sight faking fear. I held Ben close and Sean was on the floor trying to back away from the horror in front of him I squatted next to Sean and placed a hand on his shoulder. He jumped at my touch but couldn't peal his eyes away I place my hand over his eyes "you shouldn't look." He gasped and turned a terrified face towards to me. "Mark…h-he's…he's…" tears filled in his eyes "hey I'm a medical examiner may I do my job?" He nodded slowly "here Sean see him?" I asked pointing at Ben; he nodded "ok you go with him he's a friend of mine." He nodded and I helped him up. His eyes were wide, his hands were shaking, tears were pouring down his face but I don't think he knew. I sent him off with Ben and walked over to Mark and called the police "911 what's your emergency?"

"Hello. I'm at the Jordan hotel room 183 and there's a dead body."

"The police are on their way what's your name sir?"

"Anonymous." I hung up the phone and walked back out of the room and waved Ben over "I called the police and he's been dead for about 8 hours." He nodded he raised his eye brows giving me his "did you leave anything behind?" look and I shook my head no "he suffer?" I shook my head be smiled at me "boring?" I nodded. He put a sad look back on and walked over to Sean sitting next to him his friends that I could only assume to be Bob and Wade. Wade was the driver from the night before so I could only assume the larger one was Bob "hey Jack we've been wa-." They soon noticed the fact that Jack was crying and there was some guy rubbing his back and holding his hand. "Jack? Where's Mark?" Sean couldn't answer "are you guys Bob and Wade?" they looked at me and nodded, I beckoned them over and they walked over cautiously. I don't like this I'm too involved. "Hi, who are you?" Bob asked "someone who was in the wrong place at the wrong time."

"Well what's up with Jack?" I looked down "I really hate to be the one to tell you this." Their faces became worried "where's Mark?" I grabbed the door knob and pulled the door close to closed. Wade made the connection "that Marks room?" I nodded "don't go in there." Bob and Wade got angry and Wade tried to shove me aside "damn it man he's my friend!" I place a hand on his chest holding him back "you don't want to see what in there." he pushed back and I had to grab the door frame to stable myself Wade pushed passed me along with Bob "NO!" I called after them but it was too late they saw it. I ran in after them they both stood there terrified at what was in front of them. This wasn't the first time I had to deal with friends and family of my victims doesn't make me hate it any less. I covered their eyes with my hands "I told you not come in here. I'm sorry you had to see why."

"How are you keeping so calm?" bob asked shaking under my hand I sighed "I see things like this all the time. I'm a medical examiner, I actually know this MO. We've been trying to catch this guy for a while. The only way these scenes could shake me is if it was someone I knew personally." Moments later the two full uniform officers came rushing in with two plane clothes detectives. "body is on the bed I'll get these guys out of here." The cops walked passed us and gasped at the gore as I turned Bob and Wade around and shoved them out of the room I was about to leave with them but I was stopped, it was a detective "can you tell us what happened here?"

"Yeah, so last night I met the vic's friend and after a short conversation I left and so this morning when I was walking passed he was pounding on the door and I told him he could get a key from the front desk if their rooms were under the same name. I was going to leave but then my husband came in…" the officers looked at me strangely. Really? I ignored it and moved on "…and talked to me. So we were here when we heard his scream and came to see what was wrong and after I got him to leave the room I looked at the body. He looks like he's been dead for about 8 hours." The detective stopped me "I'm sorry, who are you?"

"I right sorry I'm Jack I'm a medical examiner from Canada."

"and you're here because?" the other detective asked accusingly "Pax."

"oh you're here for that nerd fest thing and you're staying here?" thanks for calling it a "nerd fest" real classy. I shook my head "no, I'm staying with a friend, I came here for a party but turned out I had the address wrong and I came back this morning cause i dropped my wallet." I said pulling it out of my pocket and showing it to them. They took it and looked at my ID; of course the info is fake, besides my height, weight, age, and first name. They handed it back "ok Dr. Scotts I guess that explains why the body doesn't freak you out but, is there anything else you can tell us?"

"I can tell you who didn't do it I mean you should investigate him anyway just in case I'm wrong but the green haired guy on the couch? I doubt he did it I ran into him on my way in, last night, he was heading out. He said he was getting some candy from the 7/11 down the street. He didn't seem like he'd killed anyone or was planning to and he was genuinely scared to see the body." They nodded writing down what I was saying "that's great thanks but why is your skin gray?"

"I'm cosplaying as a character from a book." They nodded "ok do you have a phone number?"

"559-795-2826." I spoke letting the numbers flow out of my mouth making them up as I go. They nodded "may we talk to your husband?" I nodded and leaned out the door and called Ben over. He walked over "sorry I can't provide ID I left my wallet at home." They nodded "well we just want to know what you saw but from Jacks statement you didn't see much." Ben shook his head. "we'll need to talk to him alone" I nodded and walked over to Sean, Bob and Wade. They all sat there fear and confusion cover their faces moment later I hear a gasp and a scream behind me
