Charlie opened the freezer door slowly, and after seeing the contents of it, suddenly swung it open. He gasped. Chlorines head had lied inside the freezer.
Everyone else stood in shock.
Elaina: "I-i...thought it was him...." Elaina said, her voice quivering.
Vinny: "Y-yeah me too...Oh god.."
Charlie didn't say a word, as if he was too in shock to speak. He just stared at the freezer with his eyes wide and his mouth open. Annie turned him around and walked away from the freezer with him, not letting him look back.
Annie: "I-it's alright, Charlie. Don't look at it...look away.." She said as they made it back to the others.
Vinny: "I'm actually confused..If he wasn't the murderer, then who.."
Vinny stopped his sentence, and looked over to Elaina.
Vinny: "Elaina.."
Elaina: "What..?"
Vinny: "What's that on your coat..?"
Elaina looked at her coat. She noticed there was a wet patch. She quickly became defensive.
Elaina: "W-water..? I don't understand how this got here.."
Annie: "How could water get on you..? The only place water could come from is..the bathroom or the kitchen, right?"
Elaina: "Yeah, and I haven't been in either of those.."
Vinny: "Are you SURE about that, Elaina?"
Elaina: "What??"
Vinny: "Think about it. Liza was brought to the bathroom and put into the toilet. Then, Chlorine was put into the freezer. Both areas contain water..."
Charlie: "Actually...you're right.."
Elaina: "W-wait a minute, it wasn't me, I can explain," Elaina said defensively and nervously. "when the lights were out, I felt something touch me..I don't know what, or WHO it was, but I knew it was wet!"
Annie: "I think I remember you saying something about that while the lights were out.." Annie said, as she remembered flashbacks of when Elaina shouted, "NO, GET AWAY FROM ME!!". "But..what could it have been?"
Elaina: "It could have been..Someone trying to FRAME me. It must have been, I swear I felt something touch me."
Vinny: "It honestly seems like you're getting scared, Elaina. You're trying to make it seem like you were framed. I think YOU are the one who's trying to frame someone else."
Elaina: "In case you forgot, I'M the investigator here. And if there's one thing I know, it's that I have suspected YOU from the beginning, Vinny. You always automatically agree with whoever we accuse as long as it ISN'T you, without any further input. Isn't that something a murderer would do?"
Vinny frowned. "What do you mean?? From the very beginning, Elaina has been acting as the investigator, " He said sarcastically. "Claiming that her dad just so happens to be one, and that's why we should trust her. Doesn't that seem a little too convenient?" He laughed. "Like honestly, how realistic does that sound?"
Charlie and Annie thought for a moment.
Annie: "Now that I think about it...You're right," she said while looking to the side. "Not to mention, every single time, whenever she convinces us of who it is, it ends up being wrong.." Charlie nodded.
Elaina stood there in disbelief.
Elaina: "Guys, really? Vinny completely dodged everything we threw at him just now, and switched it to me! He didn't even try to explain himself!" Elaina exclaimed with frustration, trying to convince them.
