Chapter 4
.
Dinner this night was awkward. Greenlee and Zack were angry with Kendall and Ryan for their affair. Bianca hated JR for murdering her beloved Marissa, for his part JR still hated Bianca for stealing his wife. Annie and Ryan were engaged in a bitter custody battle for their daughter. Adam and David seemed like they were still fighting over Dixie. Jackson tried to make peace, but his offers fell on mostly deaf ears. Only Bianca tried to make amends with Erica, but Erica still refused to accept Kendall as her daughter, or Bianca's choice to have Miranda. Bianca remembered how Erica's cruel words drove Bianca away, and into that storm. Bianca still blamed Erica for Miranda's death, but no more than she blamed herself. This dinner was only somewhat bearable when they all ate in awkward silence. At 10pm Erica saw little point in putting this off any further. She directed them each to their rooms. Everyone had their own personal bedroom, thus keeping the mystery alive about who the murderer was. Erica locked all the doors, save for one. Noone could sleep, they were all too nervous. A few minutes before midnight the killer crept out of their room and grabbed the gun, just where it had been planted. The killer then went to the other room and shot the target in the head, killing them instantly. The gun had a silencer, noone heart it. Then the killer crept back into their room, the first phase of the plan was successful.
