Drew: 1- Kenny is a classmate... watch the show you'd know... he's never really introduced he's just there.

2- i'm sorry about calling Lanny Manny, but the L and the M are pretty close to each other and typos have been known to happen

3- sorry about calling Lizzie Topanga, but if you've watched BMW enough hand have the script sitting in front of you while writing a story based on it but with different names, then you'd probably mess up a name also.

A little later, the gang was all back in the classroom. Ethan was sitting on a desk thinking, trying to make this all make sense.

"Finke's dead. How is he dead?" Lizzie muttered as she paced back and forth in the room.

"That's just it, Finke can't die. Yet he did. How is that, Ethan?" Gordo asked standing from a desk.

"How did he die?" Ethan repeated. "He died because he was the first suspect. When I first suspected him, I signed his death warrant. It's my fault."

"Well then, is anyone here safe?" Miranda asked nervously as she sat in a chair.

"Yes!" Ethan suddenly exclaimed walking toward the door to stand next to Matt and Lanny.

"Who?" Miranda asked.

"Virgins. Virgins never die," Ethan explained.

"All right. Thank you for saving me, Lizzie," Gordo said quietly, turning to his ex-girlfriend who gave him a dirty look.

"Well, I'm dead," Matt smiled.

"I'm dead," Lanny muttered looking down.

"Well, how sick can you actually get without dying?" Ethan smiled. Matt chuckled slightly.

"Finke! He's dead!" Miranda exclaimed suddenly.

"Dude he's like 80!" Matt exclaimed.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Lanny exclaimed.

"Go Finke, go Finke, go, go, go, go Finke!"

"Enough!" Gordo suddenly interrupted. "Now listen, as happy as I am for him, I'm scared to death here! What do we do now, Ethan?"

"Ok. Hold on. Calm down, everyone. Now, let's calmly recap," Ethan started.

"Kenny's dead, Finke's dead, we're trapped inside with a crazy killer!" Matt exclaimed quickly.

"Ok, so all we need now is to find out who the killer is," Lanny replied. Everyone was silent, thinking, for a moment. Then Miranda spoke up.

"Ok. Maybe we should split up."

"Right away wrong!" Ethan quickly stopped her. Miranda, then, sat back down.

"Ok, fine. Then we'll all just stay right here. We should be fine," she quietly muttered. Ethan rolled his eyes. Suddenly, everyone hears squeaks coming from outside the classroom and looked at the door.

"Wh- what's that?" Lizzie stutters in fear. Ethan looks at Gordo.

"Don't. Don't, Gordo, don't say it-"

"The janitor's the killer!" Gordo exclaimed, interrupting Ethan.

"And there's the end of our janitor," Ethan said throwing his hands in the air. Lizzie and Gordo roll their eyes in frustration.

"Oh, stop being crazy!" Gordo exclaims. Lizzie suddenly speaks next, agreeing with her ex.

"Yeah, really, Ethan. You were wrong about Finke, and you're wrong about this, too," she said.

"Yeah, well you were wrong to break up with Gordo!" Ethan yelled angrily. Lizzie suddenly got quiet.

"What in the world does that have to do with anything?" she asked quietly.

"Well did any of this happen when you two were together?" Ethan asked.

"No," Lizzie replied.

"Well then you've killed us. You've killed us all," Ethan accused. Lizzie looked at the ground.

"Hey, hey, man. Stop. Now you're overreacting," Matt said suddenly to Ethan.

"Yeah, really," Lanny agreed.

"There's only been two people who were horribly murdered, and that's an expectable loss!" Matt exclaimed, but no one replied. The squeaks suddenly got louder.

"Oh my God!" Miranda exclaimed, obviously terrified. "He's coming closer! He's coming closer!"

"Don't scream," Ethan said. Miranda screamed loudly.

"Eh, when has she ever listened to you?" Gordo joked.

"Come on everyone. Let's just get out of here!" Lanny suggested. The gang then hurried out of the classroom into the hallway and were greeted by a bin that rolled and stopped right in front of them. Miranda screamed and pointed at it. Ethan rolled his eyes, annoyed.

"You know, you really are good at that," Lanny smiled.

"Thank you," Miranda replied, slightly embarrassed, and smiled back. Ethan glared at Lanny briefly, but then turned back to the bin.

"So then where is he now?" Gordo demanded.

"Probably on his way," Matt replied in a creepy tone.

"I don't think so," Ethan said as he looked inside the bin. He then turned his attention the Miranda. "Miranda?"

"Yeah?" she answered.

"Are you sick of screaming?" Ethan asked her.

"Yes," Miranda sighed, out of breath.

"Good. Then don't look in here," Ethan advised her. At that remark, everyone else except Miranda and Ethan looked inside and screamed.

"Oh my God, there's like fifteen retainers in there!" exclaimed Gordo. Ethan rolled his eyes again and looked inside.

"Yeah, and this," he said, lifting up the dead janitor. Everyone then looks at Miranda, expecting her to scream.

"Oh, yes, really. Ok," she mutters and then screams. Ethan put the dead body back in the bin and rolled it away. Everyone was quiet until Matt thought he had figured it out.

"Wait just a second! The killer's dead! We're off the hook!" he exclaimed. "Up top!" Matt puts his hand up, waiting for someone to give him a high-five. When no one does, he lowers it.

"I don't get this, man. I mean, it had to be the janitor," Lanny said.

"Yeah, really. There's no one else in here," Gordo agreed. "Is there?" Everyone looks behind them, expecting to see something, but what they don't see is a guy in a black costume run behind them in the opposite hallway. They turn back.

"All right. Ok, now how do you explain this one?" Lizzie asked Ethan.

"Easily," Ethan replied. "The janitor's death just happened to throw us off guard. It signifies the last of the obvious suspects. Just like in the cold classic 'The Last of the Obvious Suspects,'" Ethan realized.

"Then that would mean..." Miranda started but was interrupted when Matt popped up between her and Ethan.

"Done done done," he said.

"The killer is one of us," Gordo finished.

"Like in 'The Killer's One of Us,'" Ethan added. Matt once again interrupted.

"Done done done." Lizzie, out of frustration, threw her hands in the air.

"Enough already!" she exclaimed. Gordo and Ethan looked curiously at her, each raising one eyebrow.

"What? Do we upset you?" Ethan asked. Lizzie nodded.

"Yes!" she exclaimed.

"Upset you enough to kill?" Gordo joined in. Lizzie shook her head, slightly, with her mouth hanging open.

"I don't believe this," she muttered. Matt interrupted a third time.

"Done done done," he said. Everyone stared at him, annoyed. "Done done." Gordo shook his head and walked behind each of his friends as he spoke.

"Ok, everybody. I think we need to face it. One of us is a crazy, psychopathic murderer. The question is, which one of us is it?" he said. After that remark, Miranda shot an evil look at Gordo; Ethan and Lizzie eyed each other suspiciously; and Lanny looks at Matt who is licking his thumb. Suddenly, Lizzie sighs again.

"Look, none of us is the killer. There has got to be someone else in here. And someone's gotta find a way out. There has to be another way out of here!" she exclaimed. Matt sighed.

"Fine, I'll do it, I'm the oldest," he said. Lizzie looked at him strangely.

"No, actually I am," Lanny disagreed.

"No actually you're both younger than all of us," Ethan pointed out.

"Oh so you wanna do it?" Matt asked.

"No," Ethan replied.

"Fine, Matt, you can be the one," Lanny agreed. Matt smiled before realizing what he just got himself into.

"Ok so wait, what just happened here?" he asked.

"You get to stay out here all by yourself," Gordo replied, patting him on the back. Matt smiled nervously.

"Oh, goody!" he exclaimed with fake enthusiasm.

"Yeah, good luck," Gordo said as he and everyone else began to walk back into the classroom leaving Matt out in the hallway alone to face whatever else was about to come his way.
