Taking a deep breath, I made my accusation. "Raj, I think Raj is the killer."

"What?!" Raj screamed. "Why?!"

"Raj is the killer?" Dane asked, confused.

"I knew it had to be one of the men here." Kirsty stated sternly.

"Hold up." Irene interfered. "That hasn't been decided yet, Natalie, can you please explain any reasons on why you believe Raj is the killer."

I nodded. "Of course, it is a lot to take in, so buckle up."

"No!" Raj cried. "You're wrong! I'm not the killer!"

I sighed, I really didn't want to prove Raj as the killer, but I had no choice. It was either him or everyone else. "First off, we had just decided on the killer's plan wasn't entirely thought out and it doesn't make the best sense."

"Right!" Harvey agreed. "This killer is stupid!"

I sighed again. "Raj...hasn't shown to be the smartest person on this island..."

"Of course!" Sapphire agreed. "But why do you have to be the smartest person on the island to not be the killer?"

Simon snickered. "You dumb slut, the office whore was trying to be nice, but she meant that Raj is one dumb bitch boy."

"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!"

"Stop!" I cried, before regaining my composure. "Raj's intelligence honestly goes well with how the killer performed this murder."

"Is that all?!" Raj asked, now sounding angry. "Just because I'm not that smart, I must be the killer?!"

"No! It isn't just that! I have more!"

"Please tell us Natalie." RK asked.

"Show us why Raj is the killer!" Gavin exclaimed.

"I'm not!" Raj continued to deny.

Finding the strength to continue, I listed my second reason. "Next up, we have the motive."

"The motive?" Bridget asked.

"I get it!" Henry exclaimed. "She means Raj would definitely kill someone to ensure the safety of his collection!"

"No I wouldn't!" Raj denied.

"Bullshit!" Harvey rejected. "All you ever talk about is your stupid ass collection!"

"It is true." Dana agreed. "Raj has talked about his collection a lot, and has shown to be very worried about it. But, even with all of that, we can't confirm that he is the killer."

"The motive affected most of the remaining suspects." Irene stated. "Even if it really affects Raj, that isn't enough to determine him to be the killer."

"I know." I replied. "But I still have more."

"Really?!" Sam replied, while looking alarmed.

I nodded. "This next reason is something that should have been discussed a long time ago, but no one definitely saw it suspcious at the time."

"What...is...it?" Miranda asked, nervously.

"During the party, I saw Donald and Raj talking to each other."

"Oh shit!" Rory exclaimed.

"Is this true?" Ellen asked.

"Yeah!" Harvey replied. "Those two were talking!"

"That doesn't prove anything either!" Raj shouted.

"I may have to agree with Raj there." Gavin replied. "How does this point to him being the killer. Donald and Raj seemed pretty friendly with each other, they probably were just having friendly conversations."

"Donald and Raj are the biggest freaks on this island." Sapphire added. "It shouldn't be out of the ordinary if they were talking to each other."

"Right!" Raj agreed, slowly calming down. "Donald...was my friend."

"Natalie, your last two reasons made sense, pointing to Raj." Kirsty stated. "But this one simply doesn't."

"You're wrong." I countered. "Raj talking to Donald at the party last night makes perfect sense if it is connected to the murder."

"Please explain dear." Bridget requested.

"I will, first off, Sam, can you please remind everyone when both Raj and Donald left the party?"

"You got it!" Sam replied. "Raj was the fourth person to leave the party, while Donald was the very last person to leave the party."

"Thank you, and once again, we all agree the killer's plan wasn't the best."

"It wasn't." Ellen agreed.

"No it wasn't, but the killer had a few good moves that have prevented us from finding them out so far."

"And those were?" Dana asked.

"If my thinking is right, sometime before the party started, Raj decided he was going to kill Donald at the beach late at night, but he needed a way to get Donald to meet him at the beach, as well as make sure no one would suspect him."

"Natalie, why are you doing this?" Raj asked.

"Shut up." Ellen ordered.

Ignoring Raj, I continued. "It might be a bit of a stretch, but I firmly believe that Raj told Donald during the party to meet him at the beach, later that night after the party was over. I may not know the exact reason, but my money is on that Raj told Donald he needed help with something."

"Why do you think that, girl?" Sapphire asked.

"Remember how Donald was, he was always in character with talking through Mr. Warn, who is a child entertainer. Raj most likely told Donald that he needed Mr. Warn's help or something like that."

"That puppetqueer definitely thought he was a real sack on a hand that jerks off every night." Simon added.

"...Anyway, I believe Raj targeted Donald because he would be the easiest to get him on the beach late at night if he played along with the Mr. Warn character. Raj probably also convinced Donald not to let anyone know, and Donald definitely would comply. And of course, Raj probably thought no one would suspect or even remember if they were talking to each other during the party."

"No..." Raj replied. "Lies."

"Which brings me to their party leaving order. Raj left fourth, while Donald left last. Again, it might be a bit of a stretch, but one of the few good parts of this murder plan was leaving way before the victim left. Raj probably thought no one would suspect him if he left the party way before Donald did, perhaps assuming anyone who either left closer to when Donald left or anyone who stayed behind at the hotel would be blamed for the crime."

"But would he assume anyone would remember when everyone left the party?" Henry asked.

"Maybe not, but-"

"That's it thought!" Raj suddenly shouted. "That should prove I didn't do it!"

"Huh?!" I was confused.

"Do you have something to counter Natalie's claims, Raj?" Irene asked.

"I do!" Raj replied. "Don't forget that after Rory left the party and got back to his hut, he saw me head into mine! And Sam has already confirmed that Rory left the party right after me!"

"No, that won't work." Dane countered.

"What?!"

"You worthless moron." Ellen started with. "How many times do I have to say that just because someone may of went to their hut right after they left the party, it doesn't mean their innocent. They could of left their hut to go kill Donald at the beach, and then returned to their huts without being seen."

"All by simply avoiding the main path we all take." I wrapped up.

Raj started to look pretty freaked out and nervous.

"You're looking pretty guilty here." Harvey accused.

"No...Please..." Raj begged.

"Is there...anything else...that can prove...Raj did it?" Miranda asked.

I nodded. "There is, one thing the killer most likely knew was that when it came time to kill Donald, they had to act fast. They couldn't predict if someone randomly showed up on the beach in the middle of the night or if anyone staying at the hotel came to the beach. They had to act fast."

"What are you getting act?!" Sapphire demanded.

"The killer did some planning way before the party even started, mainly...they prepared the rocks on the beach to be at the spot they would meet Donald at when it came time to do this horrible deed."

"But how do you know if that was Raj?" Rory asked.

"Yesterday morning, while everyone was preparing for the party, I saw Raj alone on the beach, I didn't think anything of it at the time, but now...but now it makes sense if he was getting the rocks ready to bash Donald with."

"Raj, is this true?" Bridget asked.

Raj was starting to sweat. "I was...at the beach...yesterday morning...But I...I didn't move the rocks! Natalie didn't see me!"

"You're correct there." I agreed. "I didn't see Raj do anything with those rocks, so I can't prove he moved them, but it makes sense that he did do it, as well as everything else I presented so far."

"Stop it Natalie!" Raj cried. "I'm not the killer!"

Ignoring Raj, I continued. "And speaking of the party planning, five people didn't have a role. They were Simon, Ellen, Bridget, myself, and of course...Raj. Raj had plenty of time to plan and execute this murder."

"But I wasn't the only one!" Raj shot back. "If you're using that as an argument, then you other four apply too!"

"I already been proven innocent, my dear." Bridget replied.

"Yes, Simon, Ellen, and myself had a lot of spare time as well." I responded. "But you're still the most suspicious Raj."

Raj was starting to freak out more, I noticed everyone else was starting to come to it.

"The basement dweller of all people is the fucking killer?" Simon asked, shocked.

"It does...appear to be that way." Dane replied.

"Raj, are you the killer?" Irene asked.

"I knew you were a freak!" Sapphire accused.

"I don't think we can make a vote yet, but it does seem really possible that Raj is the killer." Dana stated.

"No!" Raj screamed. "No! No! No! You're wrong! You're all wrong!"

"Shut up!" Harvey shouted back.

"No Way!" Sam cried. "I don't believe it!"

"Raj?!" Gavin exclaimed.

"Please!" Raj begged. "I'm not the killer!"

I sighed sadly, I really hated doing this. "Once again, I can't prove it. But perhaps Raj thought he have an alibi if someone saw him return to his hut after the party. Perhaps he was just walking around until Rory saw him."

"Well, I definitely didn't think of anything after I saw him go into his hut." Rory replied.

"These aren't facts!" Raj cried. "They're just theories!"

"You aren't helping yourself at all by shouting." Kirsty stated. "It only makes you look guilty."

"Right you are my dear Kirsty!" Henry stated with heart eyes.

I sighed sadly again. "It's time to wrap things up here."

"What do you mean wrap?!" Raj demanded.

"Shut up." Ellen ordered. "Let Natalie speak."

I nodded. "I honestly forgot about this piece of evidence, but remember that Bridget saw a dark figure walk from the beach and past the hotel?"

"Right." RK replied. "It was long after the party ended and while she couldn't make out who it was, she assumed it was Donald because of his hat and cane."

"That is correct, but Bridget, do you remember something else about that figure you saw?"

"Um..." Bridget thought for a second. "Oh yeah! I swore it was Donald, but the figure appeared shorter than Donald."

"Donald was average height, so a decrease in body height should be noticeable." Irene stated.

"And who's just a little more shorter than average height?" I asked, waiting for an answer.

"Raj!" Miranda cried, while sounding shocked.

"What about Simon?!" Raj demanded. "Simon's short and he also didn't have a party planning role!"

"No, it definitely wasn't Simon." Bridget denied.

"Donald was average height." I started with. "Simon is short, as for you Raj..."

"You're just a little fucking shorter than average!" Simon yelled.

"Raj was the figure that Bridget saw late last night?" Henry asked.

Bridget nodded. "It isn't at all artistic, but I can definitely see it being Raj due to the body height."

"Then that little bitch really killed the puppet boy?!" Harvey asked, shocked.

"And then walked past the hotel with Donald's hat and cane to be confused for Donald." Dane added.

"And then dumping the hat and cane in the forest." Sapphire finished.

"WRONG!" Raj shouted, extremely loud. "WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!"

"Whoa!" Rory exclaimed.

"Raj, please calm down." Dana begged.

"NO!" Raj replied. "THIS IS ALL WRONG!"

"He's losing it!" Gavin exclaimed.

Gavin was right, I had to end this soon and fast.

"I think we're just about done here." Ellen stated.

"No!" Raj cried. "All of the questions haven't been answered yet!"

"What...else...is...there?" Miranda asked, nervously.

"Mr. Warn! Where did Donald's puppet go!?"

"You took it!" Sapphire accused.

"It does appear, whoever the killer is, took Donald's puppet and hid somewhere, most likely in their hut." Irene stated.

"No one was able to find the puppet." RK added.

"But can we be sure it was Raj?!" Sam asked.

"You can't!" Raj cried, while slowly calming down, but still quite worked up. "There is no proof I have the puppet."

I sighed, Raj was wrong. There is proof and I have it.

"What are we gonna do then?" Henry asked.

"I suppose, we should keep discussing possibilities."

"Better hurry up!" Aqua Tail laughed. "I feel that the vote is coming soon!"

"We gotta hurry guys!" Raj cried. "We need to figure out who the killer is!"

"That won't be needed." I stated.

"Huh?" Kirsty asked.

"Raj is the killer and the person we need to vote for."

The second I finished my sentence, Raj lost it. He just became consumed with rage, stubbornness, and denial. "SHUT UP! YOU SHUT UP!"

"He definitely lost his cool now!" Rory cried.

"This is definitely not artistic." Bridget stated.

Miranda started lightly sobbing.

"THERE IS NO PROOF THAT I TOOK OR HID MR. WARN!" Raj screamed in despair. "YOU CAN'T PROVE IT!"

"Yes I can!" I shot back. "I'm going to prove it to you and everyone now, Raj!"

FINAL ARGUEMENT

Raj unleashed all of his rage and denial at me.

"WRONG!"

"STOP THIS!"

"MY COLLECTION!"

"NO!"

"STOP THIS!"

"WRONG!"

"NO!"

"MY COLLECTION!"

"WRONG!"

"STOP THIS!"

"MY COLLECTION!"

"MY COLLECTION!"

"NO!"

"STOP THIS!"

"NO!"

"WRONG"

"MY COLLECTION!"

"MY COLLECTION!"

"WRONG!"

"WRONG!"

"STOP THIS!"

"STOP THIS!"

"NO!"

"WRONG!"

"NO!"

"NO!"

"STOP THIS!"

But no matter how much Raj tried to deny it, the truth was about to hit him.

Raj had one more attack for me. "You can't prove I hid Mr. Warn!

FACING, HUT, YOU WERE, YOUR

YOU WERE

YOU WERE FACING

YOU WERE FACING YOUR

YOUR WERE FACING YOUR HUT

"It's over!"

I was ready for this. "First off, let me explain to you how Mr. Warn came into Raj's possession. After Raj bashed Donald's face in with a rock or rocks, he thought he had finished the job. But he was wrong."

"How so?" Gavin asked.

"Raj thought he quickly finished off Donald, so he must of stood next to his body for a certain amount of time before leaving the beach. But Donald wasn't dead yet, I believe in his very last moments, he decided to do what he could to help the rest of us."

"Get to it!" Sapphire demanded.

"What did Donald do?" Dane asked.

"Donald slipped Mr. Warn into Raj's shorts pocket.

"Lies!" Raj denied.

"I'm sorry Natalie, but that does sound like a big stretch." Irene stated.

"I know." I replied. "But think about it, why would the killer take something from Donald and not leave it in the forest with his hat and cane. And certainly, Raj wouldn't of noticed Donald using probably the last of his strength to slip Mr. Warn into the pockets of Raj's shorts."

"That puppet would definitely fit in Raj's pocket." Ellen stated.

"And he was definitely in a hurry too!" Harvey added.

Raj was starting to sweat quite heavily now. "No..."

"But how do you know for sure that Raj hid Mr. Warn somewhere unknown?!" Sam asked.

"It isn't unknown, Raj hid Mr. Warn in his hut." I replied.

"You're lying!" Raj cried.

"No, I'm not. This morning after I left my hut, I passed by Raj's hut on my way to the beach. His door was open and he was standing in the doorframe with his back turned to me. He only turned around when I spoke to him, which startled him."

"And?!" Sapphire demanded.

"Raj must have been on his way out the door, when he realized that Mr. Warn was in his pocket." Dane answered.

"What?!" Raj shouted.

"That idiot is pretty slow and stupid." Ellen agreed. "Like Natalie said, Donald slipped his puppet into Raj's pocket before he died."

"And because he was in a hurry to get back to his hut last night, he definitely didn't notice Donald doing what he did." Gavin added.

"The damn basement dweller probably ran back to his hut so fast, he didn't notice it then or when he fell asleep in his fucking hut." Simon added.

"Then...he only knew...Mr. Warn was his pocket this morning." Miranda added.

"Raj must have been in shock for what he had done, or he was just so surprised about what he found." Henry added. "That must be why he was in the doorframe for that long."

I smiled, they were starting to see the truth.

"No! Please!" Raj cried. "This is all a lie! Natalie is lying!"

"Give it up!" Kirsty scolded. "You been caught redhanded, while Natalie has been working hard to show us the truth."

"We do appear to be just about done." RK stated.

"Wait!" Raj cried. "Natalie is just trying to frame me! No one can confirm she saw me this morning! She probably is the killer and is using me as her scapegoat!"

"But Natalie has been super helpful this whole time!" Sam countered.

"Natalie can't be the killer." Irene confirmed. "Bridget said that figure she saw appeared shorter than Donald, and besides me, Natalie is the tallest person here."

"You're done for!" Harvey cried. "Geek!"

"No, please!" Raj cried. "My collection! My collection! I need to save my collection!"

I sighed again, I needed to end this class trial once and for all. "I'm going to end this by going over the whole case and explain how everything happened, for both those who aren't fully convinced that Raj did it, and so Raj can accept that he is the killer."

"My collection! My collection!"

"Here we go everyone. This all started the day before yesterday, where Aqua Tail unleashed his first motive to us, intending to start a murder. The motive was something that we all held precious to us was in danger, a murder had to happen within two days, or someone's precious thing would be chosen at random. Now, under more stress, Gavin decided to throw a party tomorrow night to get us all to relax from everything, which majority of people agreed to. The killer however, who was the most affected by Aqua Tail's motive, had already started thinking of their plan. The following day, most of us were assigned a role for preparing the party, the killer wasn't assigned a role, so they had time during the day to plan out their murder. Their target was Donald, and they planned to bash his face in with rocks on the beach. When no one was looking, they moved a few rocks to a certain spot on the beach, the spot where they would commit their crime. However, they didn't have the best plan for this crime, which ended up being incomplete. The night of the party, the killer spent a lot of time talking to Donald. They assumed since they were friends, that the rest of us wouldn't think of anything if we saw them talking to each other at the party. The killer chose to target Donald because they knew he would be the easiest to convince to meet him on the beach later that night. While I don't know what exactly the killer said to Donald, they used the fact that Donald always talks like a child entertainer to their advantage, so they most likely told him he needed his help and to meet him on the beach later that night. They also convinced Donald not to tell anyone else about it, and to leave much later after they did, the latter was done because they thought the rest of us wouldn't suspect them if they left the party way before Donald did. The killer ended up being the fourth person to leave the party, while Donald was the last person to leave the party. Once the killer reached the huts, they just walked around for a bit until Rory, who was the fifth person to leave the party, showed up to return to his own hut. This is when the killer entered their own hut, this was done because the killer thought it would give themselves an alibi, but it didn't however. An unknown amount of time later, Donald left the party, while the party shortly ended. Instead of returning to his hut though, Donald headed for the beach to meet the killer. The killer then snuck out of their own hut and stayed hidden as they avoided the main path we all take and headed for the beach. Gavin, who was staying at the hotel, noticed someone was on the beach from the hotel window, but couldn't make out who it was. That person was definitely Donald, who was about to meet a cruel, unfair end. Once the killer met Donald on the beach, we can't know for sure how it all went down, but the killer bashed at least one of the rocks they piled up onto Donald's face. Once Donald was lying on the ground, in his last moments, the killer, who wasn't very observant, didn't notice Donald placing his puppet Mr. Warn into the pocket of their shorts. Before the killer left the scene of their crime, they took Donald's hat and cane. They wore the hat and walked with the cane and started walking from the beach. Bridget, who was on the hotel patio at the time, saw a the killer walk by the hotel. They couldn't see who it was, but made out Donald's hat and cane, so assumed it was him, even though the body height was shorter than Donald's. Getting back to our killer, they were in a hurry to get back to their hut, since they never planned for what would happen if someone came by and saw everything. They ditched Donald's hat and cane into the forest, but not in a very good hiding spot. Then staying hidden, they made their way back to the their hut unseen, and feel asleep, still not knowing Mr. Warn was in their pocket. The damning evidence of who the killer is, is when I walked past their hut this morning. There they were, standing in the doorframe of their hut, their back was turned to me. It was at that moment they realized Mr. Warn was in their pocket, and they had to ditch it before stepping outside their hut. I most likely caught them in a moment of shock when they realized Mr. Warn was on them, that is why they were facing the inside of their hut from their doorframe. And the one who did of that, was you Raj Griffin, the Ultimate Collector!"

It had nearly drained me of all my energy, but I had finally finished the sequence of events for this murder. Looking around, I could tell everyone was convinced that Raj had done it, except for Raj who appeared to really be panicking.

Taking a deep breath, I laid out my final line. "That is what happened! I'm sure of it!"

"No!" Raj cried, who was starting to sob. "This is wrong! I'm not the killer! I'm...not..." Raj started full on sobbing his eyes out. "MY COLLECTION!"

"It appears that we are done here." Dana stated.

"Damn." Rory replied. "It really turned out this way."

"Fucking whatever, let's just fucking vote." Simon replied.

"I agree!" Aqua Tail exclaimed. "I think you guys can finally vote!"

Suddenly, several screens came down to all of us. The screens had all eighteen of our faces on them, Donald's being darkened.

"Vote for the person who you think is the killer!" Aqua Tail laughed. "Good luck!"

While Raj continued to sob, he then started begging everyone to not vote for him and that I was the killer. I quickly selected Raj, and several others selected their option as well. A few hesitated for a bit, before quickly voting. After we all voted, the screens left.

Aqua Tail hopped down from his chair. "Are you ready for this?"

"Yes!" Sapphire whined.

"The majority vote was for Raj Griffin...And the one who killed Donald Warn was...Raj Griffin! Congratulations to the survivors! You survived the first class trial!"
