Everyone wandered the hallways calling out Amelia's name. They'd been doing so for the past hour. Some of them had already given up, figuring that if Amelia HAD been killed she'd have started to stink by now and it would be quite unpleasant for the person that found her.
Lina was still searching but was becoming very annoyed. Every once in a while she would shout out a naughty word instead of Amelia's name. And sometimes she'd shout out a breakfast cereal, still hungry for the continental breakfast.
"Amelia!" she shouted again. After a pause she tried once more but to no avail. She then proceeded to curse loudly. Just as she was about to give up somebody else was heard walking towards her. Hoping it was Amelia, Lina rushed forward to greet her friend in hopes that she had food. But instead it was Mr. Rinald. Lina tried running the other direction but he quickly wrapped his arms around her in a hug.
"Oh, I'm so glad to see you!" he sang, "I was lost! Could you please direct me to main street?"
Lina pulled one of her arms free and pointed it down in the direction she wasn't heading, "It's that way. Very far that way."
"Thank you so much, kind sir! But now could you please let go of me?" he asked her.
She looked confused, "But you're the one holding ME."
"I won't let go until you let go," he told her. There was a moment of awkward silence, until Mr. Rinald began singing a song he was making up, "Ohhhhhhhh! Everyone shall die here! What a terrible thing that is, everyone will diiiiiiiiiie! I didn't mean to sing thaaaaaaat! I think it's soome sort of disordeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer!!!!!!"
For the duration of the song, Lina tried desperately to get out of Mr. Rinald's embrace. Her efforts tripled as he hit the final note, which was so high a nearby window shattered. Not only that, but the fact that he sang about her impending doom made his hug a considerable amount more uncomfortable. And just as she was about to pass out, he let go and jumped out of the recently shattered window, which was three stories above ground.
Lina looked out the window to see what become of the crazy man but she didn't see him squished on the pavement below. She scratched her head and shrugged her shoulders. The search for Amelia continued.
But she would never find, Amelia. No, of course not. Amelia was dead, as implied in the previous chapter. Yes, dead. Quite dead in fact. There is no way she could be any more dead. And it was quite interesting how she became so dead. But no one shall ever find out about it because Amelia wouldn't be telling anyone about it. Dead people don't tell people how they died. People are just left to assume. And assumptions can definitely be made about how Amelia died. She had a knife sticking out of her back, for one thing. So when Betty walked into her room and found her there, she automatically assumed that Amelia had been shot. This can lead one to wonder how Betty came to this conclusion. It's a long story, actually. It all started when Betty was but a young girl. She was with her father when somebody shot a gun nearby. Just as the gunshot was heard somebody else threw a knife at her father. Betty concluded that there must have been some sort of knife-gun since she thought the gunshot had something to do with the knife, which it did. In fact, that's another long story. It all started when a man named Steve was five. His mother gave him a shotgun and he loved it dearly. Seven years later he came to a park with it. This was the same park where Betty and her father were. Also the same place where a man named Tim was practicing throwing knives for the circus. He believed he could knock the hat off of Betty's father. Tim thought he was better at throwing knives than he actually was. Steve knew that Tim sucked at throwing knives so he wanted to warn Betty's father of the danger. Just as Tim was about to throw the knife at the hat, Steve fired a shot into the air, but he was too late. And that's why Betty believed Amelia had been shot.
After she found the supposedly shot girl, she ran from the room screaming. She found Zelgadis and brought him back to Amelia's room. When he saw Amelia laying there with the knife sticking from her back he assumed she had drowned.
Upon hearing Zelgadis conclude that Amelia had drowned she muttered, "You stupid idiot! She obviously didn't drown! Do you see the knife sticking from her back?" Zelgadis was angry about the 'stupid idiot' comment. He had a very good reason for believing that she'd drown. It all started when he was four. His best friend, Tim was practicing throwing knives for the circus. Zelgadis had just got done telling Tim to give up his idiotic dream of going to the circus because he really, really sucked at throwing knives when Tim accidentally stabbed himself, causing his body to fall into the a nearby pond. Zelgadis didn't know he'd stabbed himself but thought he drowned. When he saw the knife he figured a fish must have stabbed him with it after he drown. Actually, though, Tim hadn't drown. He tried telling Zelgadis this but it didn't matter. Zelgadis had his mind made up that his friend had drown. And that's why Zelgadis thought Amelia drown.
After Zelgadis heard Betty call him a stupid idiot he threw the knife at her out of anger and grief of the drown and fish-stabbed Amelia.
She screamed, "Help! I'm being shot at!" Zelgadis was confused by this and was trying to ask her about it but she just kept screaming. Eventually he walked away.

After the freezer incident, Gourry had remembered that he had to go to the bathroom. He found where the restrooms where but had the same dilemma he did before. Which one was the men's room? He stared at the doors, with there pictures of people mocking him. He stared at them so long it seemed they were laughing in his face. Then they seemed to be screaming. 'Why are they screaming?' Gourry wondered to himself. Maybe it was because they didn't know which one was the men's room, either. Soon, he realized that it wasn't the pictures screaming, but Betty. She was screaming about being shot at so Gourry hurried to help her.
By the time he got to the hallway where he'd heard the screaming, Betty had gone back to her room and gone to sleep.
"Oh, I knew I shouldn't have stopped at the buffet, first!" Gourry said to himself. He was about to go back to pondering the restrooms when he heard some noises coming from iside his room. Curious, he opened the door, "Santa?"
