Murder at Midnight: Part II

"Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh,

Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh,

One, two, three four!"

Little Devil didn't wait even for a single second to stop their car. Smiling to herself, she opened the door to the driver's side and jumped to her feet.

There was only one gamer, who could make this dramatic entry.

From the windshield, Demon smirked.

"Well ain't nobody gonna sing my song, hey, hey, hey!

Ain't nobody gonna ding my dong, hey, hey, hey!"

Demon and the other player, with the name 'gamerboy', stepped out.

Demon tossed the keys to gamers boy, as he walked towards Little Devil.

Just like Little Devil, Demon was dressed in a t-shirt, jeans, and jacket. The only difference was the glasses, which he slowly pulled off and looked ahead.

"Why were you following us?" Little Devil asked, looking at both Demon and gamerboy, while Beast was still sitting in the car.

Demon looked at Little Devil and raised his eyebrows.

"The kid is pretty shy"

Demon's mouth moved as if he was chewing on something.

"They did give you a cool Avatar" Little Devil said trying to muffle the laughter which could burst at any moment.

"We were on our way to the crime scene. There was a murder and.." he looked at his teammate, "and why don't we investigate it?"

Little Devil turned to look at his partner and shook her head.

"We are already investigating one right now. We had been to the crime scene, questioned a few suspects, gotten their motives..."

"So who do you think the killer is?" Demon asked, displacing the distance between them.

"We...umm..we need one more suspect"

Demon grinned and Little Devil was already aware of the new words, he was gonna say.

"So come with us. It's not a coincidence that we are all playing this level together"

There was some weight in his words. If they are investigating the murders together, it means something.

"Okay, Cool, We will follow you" Little Devil went back and sat in her car.

"We have to make a few stops before we go to the lab," She told Beast and knew that he wouldn't argue.

"C-can't we just s-submit our suspect?"

"But there is still one left, we won't win otherwise"

Following Demon's car, the four of them reached the next crime scene. While everyone was interacting with Demon and Gamerboy, Little Devil and Beast were invisible to them. They didn't belong to this crime scene.

Demon turned to Little Devil and mumbled, "A young nanny was found dead in the laundry room by an old lady"

"First get the DNA, prints, and pics of the scene. Let's see what we get from here." gamerboy quickly said after the announcement of the first task.

"I guess, the bleach bottle was used to cause the impact, and then she just hit her head on the machine, which turned out to be fatal" Demon added, still inspecting the scene.

It was the constant alertness, which made him aware of things around him.

"Task one completed"

"Task two: Find the suspects"

"So whom do we suspect?" the gamerboy looked at Demon.

"The Employers" Demon and Little Devil said at the same time.

"I mean start from them, they might know something," Little Devil said, clicking her tongue as Demon pranced towards her like a hunter.

"Let me play this on my own, you little punk"

Little Devil raised both of her hands showing that she is backing off.

While Demon and gamerboy were teleported to the room, Little Devil and Beast took the stairs.

"Statement by the Employer"

"She was always good with kids.

The husband saw her last when he was home.

She had a bf with whom she broke off"

Demon and gamerboy walked out of the room, at the same time when Little Devil and Beast had reached the room.

"Damm Man, so many stairs" Little Devil kept her hands on her knees while Demon rolled his eyes.

"But we don't feel.."

"You don't wanna argue with him" Demon cut the gamerboy off between sentences.

"We still don't have her phone and her other contacts" Demon mumbled to himself.

"Why do you need her phone? Didn't the game point to the next suspect?" Beast asked, still standing near the stairs.

"Yes but..." Demon was about to say something when he stopped.

"Okay, let's go to the next suspect. We will need to drive, so follow us"

"Morning Beast" the guard bid the player, as all of them left for the next destination.

"Statement by the Boyfriend"

"They broke off a couple of months ago.

Her friend told him that she was seeing someone."

"Do we just have to follow the people the game tells us? Won't we investigate on our own?" Gamerboy asked about getting in the car again.

"We will once we are done with the obvious suspects" Demon sat inside, signaling Little Devil and Beast to follow them.

"Statement by the friend"

"She helped the girl to find the job.

The girl stayed at the employer's house on the days when the husband was alone"

"You guys have it bad, we just have to question three suspects." Little Devil said as they reached the apartment again.

"I know" Gamerboy, who was another detective with them growled.

"Statement by the husband"

"He didn't have an affair with the girl.

He was involved with another"

"Looks like a dead end and I still don't understand what we are doing here" Little Devil snarled at Demon who just shrugged.

*Beep*

*Incoming text: The alibi of the wife (employer) doesn't match. She wasn't at work*

"Looks like we found the light at the end of the tunnel"

Little Devil had both of her hands on her waist as she looked at Demon.

"You probably found your killer, but we are still behind" she looked at Beast and signaled him to get in the car.

"See you on the other side"
