Butters screamed and I looked away. Henrietta and Eric joined us a moment later. We all looked up at Bebe's body in disbelief, Bebe had just come back and now she is dead once more.
"Heya guys, now that your all here let's get right to it, one Monokuma file hot off the presses and with that the countdown has begun, good luck" Monokuma said appearing behind us. He handed me the file and the downloaded copies were already on our handbooks. "See ya later!" Monokuma vanished and we all looked at each other none of us sure how to proceed.
"Craig get me a ladder" Token said, "I'll get her body down from there."
Craig went to the supply closet next to the stage and pulled out the step ladder, while he and Token got Bebe's body down Butters and I investigated the closet. The only thing in the closet worth noting was a pipe out of place on the ground.
"Hey Mike, check this out" Craig called to me from the gym.
I walked out to and saw the cause of Craig's concern, there was blood on the step ladder a small drop but enough to warrant adding it to the evidence app. Token stepped up on the ladder going out of his way to avoid the blood stain, he took Bebe's legs out of the basketball net one by one eventually getting her down and placing her on the ground.
"Ok here's the plan everyone" I said, "Token, you and Henrietta go check the computer lab, Craig and Tweek, take her lab, Clyde and Eric check her room, Butters, you and I will check the body."
"Got it" Clyde said.
"On it" Craig said.
"Leave it to me" Henrietta said. The teams left the gym each going to their assigned locations as I opened the Monokuma File.
"Victim is Ultimate Fashionista Bebe Stevens, cause of death was blunt force trauma to the back of the neck, time of death was roughly midnight last night" I said to Butters.
"Mike look at her arms, there are cigarette burns on them" Butter responded. "Wait do any of us smoke?"
"Henrietta does I believe" I answered.
"You don't think" Butters started.
"It's way too early to think about that we have to collect more evidence first" I answered. Bebe was holding her monopod the back had blood on it.
"What's on her monopod" Butters asked.
"I'm not sure," I said. "One way to find out though."
I was able to rescue Bebe's monopod from her grip, considering how hard it was to get out of her hand rigor had definitely set in which leads me to believe the Monokuma file's time of death was correct.
"There's something else in her pocket." I reached in and pulled out two sewing needles they were noticeably sharper than normal.
I turned to Butters "weapon perhaps?"
Token ran back into the gym, "Mike, you need to come see this" he shouted.
The two of us ran back to the computer lab to see a few key pieces of crucial evidence, the body might have been found in the gym, but Bebe could've very well been killed in the computer lab. On the computer was the journal entry concerning the possibility of a spy as well as all the other UA information which we had stored in the computer lab and a delete pop up box in front of it.
"Someone was trying to erase the information on project UA" Token said.
"Yeah and look, there's hair and blood on the keyboard and floor" I added. "Whatever she was struck with the damage was done here, she didn't sense her attacker coming this time that's for sure."
Craig walked into the room a moment later, he and Tweek had found something in her lab.
"We found this Mike, it's a note addressed to you" Craig said handing me the paper.
"It's in the pocket" I read.
"The pocket" Craig asked. "What was she talking about?"
"I'm not sure but her lab has too many pockets to search through" I answered. The five of us left the computer lab and re-entered the gym to see Clyde and Eric standing there.
"Hey Mike we couldn't find anything in her room but we did find these in the trashcan near the door" Clyde said showing us an empty pack of cigarette.
"Wait a minute, only one person smokes cigarettes in this group" Eric said. We all looked at Henrietta who understandably got defensive.
"Hey back off all of you, I didn't kill her" she said.
"Then why was she covered in cigarette burns" Clyde asked.
"How should I know my pack of cigarettes got stolen a few days ago" she answered.
"That's way too much of a coincidence Henrietta" Tweek said.
"You know I just thought of something" Butters said. "The culprit in this case was trying to delete the UA files, does that mean whoever killed Bebe wanted to get rid of the information, is the culprit the spy?"
We all looked around at each other coming to the realization that Butters's theory could be right on the money.
"What did her monopod say Mike" Craig asked.
"I haven't gotten a chance to look at it yet, here let me check it now" I answered.
I opened it to see a message from an unknown sender, I began reading "I can tell you everything about Project UA, including what that list in your lab means."
Token stopped me, "What list in her lab, we didn't find anything."
"Maybe we didn't find anything because Bebe didn't let us find anything" I answered.
"Meet me in the computer lab at midnight, come alone."
"Which monopad sent that message" Henrietta asked.
"Doesn't say, sender unknown" I answered. "Come on let's go to the cafeteria and sort through what we got.
The eight of us entered the cafeteria and sat down. When we did we noticed another monopad sitting there, I powered it up to see that it was the monopad used to send the message, but with no name on it, who could it possibly belong to.
"First thing I need to know is which of you two left the cafeteria last yesterday" I said pointing at Eric and Clyde.
"It was me" Eric said, "I left like five minutes after Clyde there was no monopad here when I did so someone probably came back after me."
"Alright we'll have to make do with what we have I doubt will find much else at this point" I said.
The loudspeaker powered up a moment later, "heya kiddos it's trial time get your butts over to the elevator and let's get this show on the road."
The eight of us walked to the elevator and got on, it took us to the top floor and we entered the trial chamber. This was it, once more we needed to determine who killed Bebe Stevens, if we find the identity of the killer we might also discover the spy hiding in our midst. Whoever killed Bebe has to have some more knowledge about UA then the rest of us, but why they failed to delete the files after killing her was beyond me. But I'll worry about that later, my main priority now, is to determine who among us has killed, the fourth class trial is about to begin.
