"Wait, father!" A young male, probably no more then twenty-one said and stood up at another table. "Chrissy and I have a surprise for you!" the lights went out and the door to kitchen opened to reveal a cake with one candle burning brightly on it. The party seemed like it was going smoothly until a gun shot and scream rung through out the room.

"It's starting." Lilly whispered to Miley in the dark. "This is so exciting!"

"I know!" Miley whispered back.

The lights came back on to reveal the older man and his thirty-something wife both dead. The women had a small circular blood spot on her left temple and her husband, Mr. Anders, had a wound running the width of his neck, to be more specific, right over his throat.

"Father!" The son, Timothy, exclaimed at the site of his "dead" father.

"Mother!" His half-sister Chrissy exclaimed.

"Don't anyone move!" A man from another table announced as he stood up. "I am detective Robert Stone, and as from this point on you are all suspects!"

"This is so upsetting." Said another person, who was a fairly bad actor.

"Now, would anyone have a reason to kill these people?" Stone asked as he looked around the room.

"It's simple really." A guest said as they stood up at their table. "Timothy, didn't like his step mother, the fourth one to be exact, so he killed her."

"I would never do such a thing!" Timothy defended himself in anger.

"It'd be to obvious for him to kill with a gun." Miley spoke up after several moments of being quiet as she put everything together in her head.

"What do you mean by that?" Timothy asked her in a cocky tone.

"I mean, he's a gun collector. Why kill someone with a gun if he collects them." Miley continued with her accusation. "It'd be too obvious!" She exclaimed. "If you look at Mr. Smith his throat was slashed and a knife was left at the scene of the crime." She continued.

"And there was steak for dinner, of course there would be a knife at 'the scene of the crime'." Timothy mocked.

"He has point." Oliver mentioned to his friends. "Where is she going with this?"

"But are they always bloody?" Miley asked. "Mr. Anders was killed with a steak knife. And from it being found on the left side of him I'd say Timothy killed him."

"Why do speculate this ma'am?" Stone asked her.

"Well, you see, I'm right handed, so if I were to slash someone's throat I'd go from left to right and drop the knife on my right!" She exclaimed. "But, Timothy, as most left handed people do, wears his watch on his right wrist." Miley pointed out.

Timothy cautiously looked at his right wrist and slowly moved it behind his back. "So, I think it was him who killed his father!" She continued. "Now, for as Mrs. Anders, she was found with a bullet wound to her left temple." Miley started with the other half of the case. She was really starting to get into it too. She was now standing behind the "deiced" Mrs. Anders. She moved her head to revel the wound. "Timothy didn't kill her. Chrissy did! She figured she could pin it on her half-brother, the avid gun collector. She knew everyone would suspect him, and seeing as both kids knew the lights would be out for the cake, they both knew it'd be the perfect time to kill them."

"Well, you have given us the who, and the what miss, but why?" Stone asked Miley. "Why did they want to kill their parents? What was their motive?"

"Money." Miley answered. "Seeing as this would be Timothy's fourth mother, he knew that his father would leave everything to her when he passed, as for Chrissy? Same goes for her. Her mother, Timothy's second mom, had passed when she was young and Mr. Anders had adopted her and treated her like her own. She also had the same reasons as Timothy.

Stone looked over to were the two kids stood and saw them making a break for the lodges lobby. "Stop them!" He exclaimed. A guest stepped in their path and the two were stopped in their tracks. "Timothy and Chrissy Anders you are under arrest for the murder of your parents!"

The guests clapped and Mr. and Mrs. Anders came back to life.

"How did you figure all that out Miley?" Lilly asked as the group got up.

"When you're on tour for months at time you really have nothing to do, so I've read a lot of murder mysterys, and it helped that I read through the information booklet on each person that they gave us when we checked in." She commented.

A/N: Hi peoples! So what did you think? I'm not sure when the next update will be because I haven't outlined that much yet. But anyways please review.
