Relaxed

As the group of teens arrives at the indoor pool, they realize that they would be joined by quite a few other guests. They knew all of them but one. The Harris' and Webbers had convened at pool for a little afternoon fun and it gave them more time to socialize with other guests. Rachel look quite bored sitting with her knees up in one of the folding chairs laid out by the pool and staring toward the end of the chair with a blank expression. But once she saw the other teens arriving she tried to perk up. Rachel, while in high school, found it hard to find friends; she mostly kept to herself and was rather introvert around other people. Then one summer she became a counselor at a camp with the twins and their friends. That summer was one of the best of her life and she would never forget it. At university she could never find the time to hang out with them even though they all go to the same school. Rachel is a biochemistry major at their school and with the immense amount of classes she just doesn't have the time to be social and get a 4.0 GPA. Partying was just not in her agenda. With this group of friends she really only socialized with them during camp and other summer activities. She was glad that she at least had that because she felt like she belonged somewhere. Alexie and Belle approached her chair and greeted her. She smiled and returned the greeting and the girls immediately began making catch up conversation. On the other end of the pool Ben and Kyle said hello to the Brad, Elaine, Jenn and Harrison out of respect and then made their way to a couple of empty chairs near the two families. Once they had taken a seat they laid their stuff out. "Do you want to really tick off my sister?"

"Uh….Last time I checked I was trying to get on your sister's good side s that I could finally find out if we can actually get together."

"Whatever dude, I'm going for it," seconds later and Ben takes a running start and leaps into the pool in cannonball formation, in order to make the biggest splash. The water surrounded the group of girls and it took no time at all for them to start throwing things at him in anger. Alexie gave him a stern look and then followed suit and jumped in the pool in order to play drown him. It didn't take long after that for the rest of the teens to jump in the water; where they quickly decided on a rousing game of Marko Polo.

All the while the fun was occurring the lonely man from lunch, Tucker Riley, watched as if trying to figure out all of the guests motives for being at the villa. He particularly kept his eye on the adults as he has been told on more than one occasion by his sister, Gina, that he has the tendency to look slightly like a pedophile when he watches people. He knows that his sister is right but he can't help that he wants to figure out what a person will be like before he tries to socialize with them. He was use to the rejection from the outside world. That was mostly because he was paranoid that the world was against him; but luckily he had his sister who cared for him more than anyone and lived at this extravagant villa that was secluded from the public. Tucker just continues to wonder why the people he was gazing upon were so happy and he began to mutter phrases under his breath that could have been anything he sometimes didn't know what he was saying it was like a weird trance he would get in sometimes. The people he was watching seemed to enjoy being with a lot of other people. Parties definitely weren't his thing he hated when Gina would throw parties for her friends especially without telling him. He just continued to ponder his ideas of the strangers and contemplating introducing himself but quickly changed his mind. He had some things he needed to take care of around the villa. So Tucker quickly departs the pool area.

"What was up with that guy?" asks Elaine once Tucker had left. "I don't know who he is; I've never seen him before in all the times we've come out here he must be someone who lives here since he seems to know where he was going. But he seems rather sketchy he wouldn't keep his eyes off any of us. Did anyone else notice that?" replies Jenn. Brad turns toward his wife and responds with an off the wall comment about how she is losing her mind and is being paranoid. She responds to that with a pissed off face and walking away. Jenn faces Brad, "Don't you think that was a little unnecessary?" "What? She needs to calm down we're on vacation I don't need her being freaked out over nothing," Brad retorts."Well maybe you should have said something just a little nicer instead of acting like a big jerk. She does nothing but support and love you and you treat her like a pile of dirt."

"You seem to think you know more about my marriage than me. Jenn I love you but you need to mind your business about this. If you were around my home as much as I am you would notice something different about Elaine. It's not just me."

"What are you talking about? She seems exactly the same every week at book club, nothing out of the ordinary. So maybe it's you who needs to screw your head on a little and try to fix this mess you call your marriage."

Harrison just stays out of the way of the argument that was boiling between Jenn and Brad. Harrison cracks smiles at different points in the argument as both Brad and Jenn delivered some killer zingers. Harrison tried to save his friend from his wife before it got too intense by inviting him to get snacks and drinks for everyone. Brad who was fishing for a way out of the argument swiftly agrees to help Harrison. They got up and quickly left to allow Jenn the time to cool off and to talk to Elaine alone. As the men depart Jenn goes to find Elaine. She looks around the pool but she wasn't there. She looks around the fake shrubbery that was set up around the pool area. Jenn then saw the wet foot prints from where Elaine walked off and begin to follow them. They seemed to lead out into the hallway containing the changing rooms but then they abruptly stopped in the middle of the hall. She began to yell for Elaine and got no response. She opened the door to the changing rooms in hope that Elaine would be on one of the benches relaxing. But when she opened the door she noticed blood drops that led into the showers in the changing rooms. Jenn began to panic and hoped that Elaine was ok. She slowly stalked her way toward the showers. Trying to be as quiet as possible Jenn says, "Elaine?" Again Jenn got no response. She got closer and closer to the showers and the blood drops increased in size. Her heart was beating rapidly and her adrenaline was pumping. Fear flushed her when she turned the corner into the showers. Elaine laid on the wet tile floors; beside her head a slight blood puddle. Jenn bolts toward her friend in hopes that she was ok. She shook Elaine and began to cry as she yelled for help. Jenn continued to try and wake Elaine her tears making it hard to see that Elaine had waken up. "J…Je…Jenn?" Elaine mutters as she slowly gains consciousness. "Oh my God, I thought you weren't going to wake up. Let's get you to a chair and I'll get some help and find Brad." Jenn slowly wraps her arm around her friend in order to help her get to the poolside. Walking through the pool area Ben and Kyle both offer to help. Jenn tells them to go find Brad and tell him that something is wrong with Elaine that she hit her head on the shower floor. They tell her everything will be ok and they set out to find Brad. Jenn asks the girls to go get some towels and a first aid kit. Rachel stays to help clean Elaine up. "Elaine what happened in there why was there blood everywhere?" Jenn questions hoping her friend can remember. "I went in there when Brad called me crazy and my nose started bleeding and I headed for the showers to just hide from everyone and on my way through the showers I became light headed and passed out. I guess I hit my head on the floor."

"Well you're going to be ok we are going to doctor you up and you'll need to rest. Do you have any idea why you would have gotten light headed?"

Elaine contemplated telling Jenn the truth about the main reason she passed out but decided lying would be best right now. "I guess I just didn't drink enough water today or eat enough at lunch or maybe it was my allergies, I honestly don't know." Jenn just comforts her friend and keeps reiterating how glad she is that Elaine is safe. Ben and Kyle return with Brad and Harrison along with Alexie and Belle who brought the towels and first aid kit. Harrison quickly grabs the first aid kit and begins to look at Elaine's head to make sure she is going to be fine. He didn't really have to do much she didn't have any cuts, she just had a concussion and he suspected that all the blood came from the rather violent nose bleed. Brad kept apologizing to Elaine as he was holding her hand and resting his head on her shoulder. Once Harrison was done inspecting her he and Jenn went back to their room as they had had enough excitement for one afternoon and wanted to rest before dinner. Brad just continued to kneel next to Elaine and apologize. "It's not your fault babe," Elaine utters. "But I feel like you have this problem because of me," Brad continues to apologize while blaming himself now. Brad begins to cry into Elaine's shoulder as he then says, "I'm so glad you're ok. I don't want anything bad to ever happen to you. I would be devastated."

"It's ok babe, I'll be fine. I'm going to have to go cold turkey for you. I can't keep doing this to you especially since I found something out yesterday before we came out here."

"What…What did you find out?"

"…I….I'm….We're pregnant."

"What are you kidding me?"

"No," Elaine gladly says as she sees Brad mood lighten up and he gains a large smile on his face and he once again begins to cry. This time Elaine joins in on the crying. Once the crying ceases Brad embraces Elaine and they share a passionate kiss and Brad lifts Elaine off the chair, cradles her in his arms, and they head as well head to their room to rest and have some privacy.

"Really Trishelle, I think your nose looks fine the way it is," comments Paula as her and her friends relax in the sauna. Paula despite being the maid's assistant at the villa, always seems to find the time to spend with Gina. Paula got the job at the villa so that Gina could have a friend who didn't have to travel miles just to have dinner. "Trishelle honestly don't worry about not being able to get guys, they would be stupid to not pay you any attention," Paula adds to her previous statement. The steam filled room was moist and hot the women were all wearing just a towel around their waists. Joey, who had joined because Haley wanted to go to the sauna, was lying stark naked on one of the benches away from all of the women. Joey's goal for the rest of the day was to get on Haley's good side so that at some point they could do something a little less boring. So he just waded through the conversations throwing in his two cents every now and then just to make it appear to Haley that he was listening. Celeste per usual was sitting back just letting her friends converse. She didn't like most of the conversation that took place since most of it was superficial. She just listened and rolled her eyes and laughed at all the right times to make it look as though she cared what her friends really thought. Darcy as well didn't like to get into the conversation, but when she did she made sure that her opinion was heard even if it differed from her friend's. Darcy and Celeste were closest to each other out of the group since they enjoyed things that weren't just boys, make up and sex. They had both attended college, but Celeste earned her living working for Oliver as his horoscope writer. She knew the job was pretty lame but the pay was good and she had off most of the month. Darcy on the other hand majored in business and opened a nail salon out in San Diego. The conversation continued, "OMG you guys I really want to just I don't know like look different. I think the change could be good for me," Trishelle still trying to get her friends to agree with her. "Oh or maybe Trishelle we could just change the subject because frankly I'm sick of hearing about your stupid nose," interjects Gina. "Yeah, we could talk about…you know some of the cute guys that your loser husband invited," Paula says enthused. Darcy hearing the talk of guys decides that she has had enough of the sauna and heads to her room so she can take a shower and get ready for dinner. As Darcy exits out of the sauna the talk from the girls quickly changes to gossip about Darcy. "So I heard from one of Darcy's employees that she got dumped by that really rich guy like last week. So she hasn't really been herself. She also said that she saw Darcy in the alley behind the store choking a homeless man," Trishelle informs the girls trying to get them to be content on her change of the subject. Celeste shakes her head furiously and screams, "You're a stupid bitch! That is a blatant lie. How could you ever believe something so ridiculous and to think you call yourself a friend to that girl. She is one of the most honest, kindest people I have ever met. You on the other hand are shallow, insecure, and you hate when other people have the spotlight. Maybe next time you want to ruin someone's reputation you should make sure you have those facts straight and make sure someone who is actually their friend isn't in the room." Celeste smirks, so glad that she stood up to her "friend" and swiftly exits the sauna on her way to enlighten Darcy on the situation. The girls remaining in the sauna sit there dumbfounded at what just took place in front of them.

A clicking noise protrudes from the lock as Darcy twists the key. She enters her room, a rather small room with a queen sized bed and a small dresser. A flat screen television sat atop of the dresser and a tall lamp stood near the bed next to an end table. That was all that was in the room for everyone except those who had double beds. Darcy throws her towel onto her bed and starts to search through her suit case. After grabbing a top and jeans she goes to start a bath. Each room although rather small also had a small hotel like bathroom attached to one side. Darcy stuck her under the falling water to check the temperature. Once the faucet was letting out water of a comfortable temperature she went to get a clean towel from a pantry down the hall. Not wanting to bring her key she left her door slightly ajar. Darcy looks down the hallway to check to see if she needs to hurry getting a new towel and the hallway was completely deserted. But even there being a chance someone could see her almost nude she still hurried down the hall to get her towel. Once returning into her room she brings her clothes and a towel into the bathroom in order to finally have some alone time in a nice warm bath. Darcy rips her towel off and sets it beside the tub. One foot at a time she submerged into her bath. She got settled and it took almost no time at all for her to relax enough to close her eyes and slowly drift sleep. A couple of minutes had passed since she had gotten into the tub and Darcy was now getting close to falling asleep, when the door to the bathroom opened. The killer had decided what to do with this one after all of the stories they heard about her. First they had to make sure she didn't wake up during the set-up. So a rag of chloroform was placed on her face. Whatever part of her had been awake was now unconscious and almost completely underwater. The killer hurriedly got her out of the water and dries her off. They also took the time to cloth her in order to give it some believability. Once she was dressed, the killer tossed Darcy onto the bed and drew a steak knife from their pocket. Placing the knife into Darcy's hands the killer grasped Darcy hands around the blade and began to slice the veins on Darcy's left arm. After doing the arm he moved her hand down and cut the sides of her legs. Once all the cuts had been made blood was filling the bed and Darcy stayed unconscious unaware of what had happened to her. Once the killer received no pulse from the body, they cleaned the blood off of themselves and changed their clothes putting the bloody ones into their knapsack. The killer than exited the room into an empty hallway where they once again slipped away unnoticed.
