Ack, fa, and errrr. That is how I explain romance for this one. Cute, no?

ERRRR. I really wanted to upload this one yesterday, I really did, but I held off. I am a suspense writer, aren't I? What do you mean no? Screw you. Well anyway, I wanted Kari's death to sink in and the suspense [gasp] to sink in. And this one has like, nothing, so I am going to put up the following chapter sooner than usual. I really want to just upload the whole thing. I am tired of having it sit on my desktop. But hey, cest la vie. [starts mumbling 'I AM a suspense writer' over and over again, trying to convince herself she won't upload the whole thing.]

Look! I held off. I didn't upload. Good for me. *pats herself on the back*. Today has two chapters, by the way.

Disclaimer: If I owned them, why would I kill them off?

You know what? I am still really pissed about this thing I did in one of the chapters. You'll see it when you get there. Damnit! I am so angry right now. Seriously! GRRRR!

Another blank. At this rate Izzy would die of a heart attack. Matt looked at him. "That's right Izzy, every other one is a blank." Matt raised the gun closer to his face and eyed it. "Which means the next one should be real." He pointed the gun at Izzy again. "Would you like to test my theory?"

Izzy made several grunts that could only be interpreted as "No!" But then again, Matt didn't much care about what his victims said. He raised the gun to Izzy's head and Izzy's facial expression just dropped. His eyes were pleading and he was crying. Matt fired.



Yet another blank. Matt was much enjoying all this torture. "Oh no, my theory was wrong. Much like most of yours." Izzy was visibly hurt my that comment. "But I'm not going to kill you, not now. I never did plan to kill you. At least, not until you figured out my plan. You really shouldn't have dont that." He turned to Kari. "I suppose I should clean this up. I'm glad Jou did the work for me on Mimi." Matt looked over his shoulder at Izzy. "That is, unless you want to hang out with a dead body." Izzy feverishly shook his head. "Good boy, you are learning. I will almost feel bad about killing you."

Izzy slumped into the wall. He was growing tired of Matt's games.




Matt cleaned up the pool of blood and dragged Kari over to the closet in which Mimi lay. He did this all with eerie percision and then walked back up the stairs. Izzy was getting hungry.



Matt passed the group nonchalantly. He had put another shirt on over the blood stained one and was going up into his room to get cleaned up. He opened the door, finding his empty room. He sighed with releif.


Downstairs, the group was sitting by the fire trying to warm up. After skiing in the deserted part of the mountain with no lifts, they were tired, They had not seen another skier the whole day.

Matt joined the group a little later. He had on a new shirt but no one noticed. "Where's Kari?" He asked, hiding the fact that he knew all to well where she was.

"She was supposed to hang behind a bit, so we're expecting her anytime." Replied Takeru, adding almost silenty, "I'm sure she ditched us."

Matt heard the last part and felt a pang fo guilt. But it didn't last long. "I'm sure she'll be in real soon buddy."

"That's what I hope."

Davis stood up and stretched. "All those expert hills I skied made me tired. I'm going to my room."

"What you did is not called skiing. It is called 'sliding'."

Davis blushed and was about to reply to Takeru, but decided against it. The group seemed so overly suspicious, he didn't want to insult someone and be called the killer. "Good night everybody."

Half of the group managed to mutter "Good night."

The fire died, and Ken flipped on the light for the candeler. The light gave new perspective to the house. Then, as he was looking around, Cody found a bloody handprint.

"Hey guys! Over here quick!" Cody said in his quiet, raspy voice.

The group gathered to see the bloody handprint on the wall. They looked to each other and studied the handprint carefully. It was to smeared to know who had done it, but the group examined it carefully none the less. Whoever had killed Mimi had left this handprint.

Suddenly Izzy's disappearance seemed convienient.

One by one the 8 Digidestined left the wall and went to sleep, with something on the minds of all of them.

Well, I managed a chapter without a murder. Good for me. *pats herself on the back again*. The group is getting closer to the killer! Dun dun dun. How long can Matt keep his cover? Who is next?

Adding another thing: (I know, I have to many author's notes) The ending is in chapter 10, then it continues in Chp11.
