"NOOOOOOOOO SHANNON!" cried George.
"STOP CRYING GEORGE!" screamed Eva who hated servants. "SHE WAS WORTH FIFTY BUCKS AT MOST!"
By the time Battler and the others made it back to the guesthouse, Shannon and Kanon were already dead and the kids were sad again. They had returned to the mansion, but George and Jessica had not stopped crying. Dr. Nanjo came in after doing an examination of the bodies.
"Okay so Shannon and Kanon were both stabbed in the chest," said Nanjo. "They were stabbed by the same weapon in the same place and have identical wounds and identical blood splatters and identical entire bodies. It's almost like they were the same person."
George and Jessica went upstairs because they were sad. By now, Battler was starting to realize the weight of these deaths.
"Dad I finally understand how heavy people dying can be," said Battler.
"Wow everyone look Battler figured out murder is bad!" said Rudolf.
Everyone laughed at Battler so he ran away crying.
"Those big jerks," said Battler, and he wandered around the house for a bit. He went upstairs to look for George and Jessica, but he didn't know where they went.
At the end of the hallway, there were two doors, side by side. And in between them, there was a clock. It had just turned 11:05 AM.
For some reason, Battler's blood turned cold. He looked behind him. There was nobody to be seen down the hallway. Not George, not Jessica, not his old bastard dad, and definitely not Ryuji Gohda. It was scary to think Ryuji Gohda could be lurking around any corner. Ryuji Gohda was scary. In fact, Battler realized just how stupid it was to be out here alone with Ryuji Gohda running around.
Even though they were mean, he decided he should probably go back downstairs with the rest of his family, otherwise he might die.
BANG!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Battler screamed the moment he heard the nearby gunshot! He fell on the floor and clutched his chest!
"Oh god shit fuck damn ass I'm going to die!" he cried and cried before he got a kick in the face.
"You're not dying Battler, get up!" shouted Rudolf.
Rudolf yanked the brat up to his feet. The gunshot came from one of the two doors so they started with the left one.
Battler knocked on the door.
"If Ryuji Gohda's in there, um, please don't come out!"
"For God's sake boy, get out of the way!" Nanjo pushed Battler aside and tried the handle. The door was unlocked, so they opened the door.
Inside, they found the body of George, who was bleeding out of his chest and also dead. Eva shrieked extremely loudly because George and Eva were related by blood (George was her son).
"What the shit? Why is George dead!" shouted Battler.
"This must be Ryuji Gohda's doing," said Rudolf.
"Ooogh that nuisance, someone ought to set him straight," groaned Nanjo.
"Quit moaning and give us an autopsy, grandpa!" shouted Battler. He was angry now, because Ryuji Gohda was killing his family, even the kids!
"If only Toshiro Gohda was here, that man would save us all," said Kinzo. "OOOOOOOOGH GOOOOHHHHDDAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
While he waited for the autopsy, Battler scanned the room. There was nothing in it but a bed, and also the window was open. Ryuji Gohda must've escaped through there.
"Ah yes ahem attention everyone," said Dr. Nanjo. "Young George Ushiromiya died at precisely 11:05 AM today."
"11:05... that's just two minutes ago!" said Battler.
"Yes, indeed my son," said Nanjo and he gave the boy a gold star. Battler smiled proudly and Nanjo continued.
"Cause of death was a knife wound to the chest. I concluded this after observing the knife sticking out of his chest."
"It must've been the same knife used to kill Shannon and Kanon!" said Battler.
"No, boy, stupid boy! The knife is far to small to have caused the wounds in their corpses!" Nanjo took away Battler's star and he cried. He had to get that star back somehow, so he closed his eyes and thought really hard to come up with a better question. Then he came up with one!
"Um, Dr. Nanjo, George was stabbed right? But we all heard a gunshot, so who got shot?"
Everyone's eyes shot wide open.
