#51 Murder


"In other news, a man was found dead in his home today. Paramedics responded to the call around four this afternoon. According to his wife, he fell with no warning in the middle of talking to her. The reason he died is still a mystery, with the doctors saying that he seemed to have suffered a heart attack. Police are investigating and have not ruled out foul play."

Jeremy got up and quickly turned off the TV before it could show the next story. The other four stayed completely silent for a few minutes.

"Four o' clock," Ulrich said. "There was a Xana Attack and we returned at about four." He looked at Jeremy. "You don't think…"

Jeremy turned and looked out of the window without saying a word. Aelita was just staring at the screen, a look of surprise and horror on her face. Odd had his head leaning on the chair and his eyes closed. But his eyebrows were creased and there was a pained expression on his face.

Yumi moved a little closer to Ulrich, crushing him between her and Odd. She stared at him, and in a low, small voice, whispered, "I do think."

They had just murdered a man.
