"Who did this?! It certainly wasn't me. No, no. Somebody, NOT ME, must have moved it between the time I was the last person alone with the body in the room and then stepped out for a few minutes to take care of some personal business- that you don't need to know about. Could have been anybody... Except me." The Detective explained
"What the hell happened here?" Ben asks, him just getting into the room
Detective: "The body's been moved."
Ben: "On its own?"
Detective: "No, of course not. Unless it did, in which case we've got way bigger problems than a simple murder." [Thunder clap]
The Chef comes into the room next, "What the hell happened here?"
Butler: "The body's moved."
Chef: "On its own?"
Natalie rolls her eyes, "We haven't quite ruled that out just yet, but let's not forget we've got a murderer." [Thunder clap]
"Bully!"
Natalie turns around to see the Colonel, "*gasp* oh my god!"
"Quite a storm out there, eh chaps? What are you doing huddled here in fear?" He taps her arm and ducks under the duck tape. The Detective was confused but brushed it off
Chef: "We have a zombie problem."
Colonel: "Ah! Homonecrosis. The most dangerous game. Well, if someone needs to put the old lad down again, I'm well up for the privilege" he looks at Natalie then to the Detective
Detective: "What do you mean by again, and what do you mean by privilege?"
Colonel: "I'm just saying, I've got plenty of... experience on the matter"
Chef: "So do I"
Detective: "Yeah, that just raises more questions."
Colonel: "Well, I'm off to the grounds to see if I can catch a whiff of the old bag of bones, eh?"
He starts walking away. Ben: "Weren't you and Mark the same age?"
Colonel laughs manically out of the room, then coughs
Talking to Natalie, "Alright, I don't trust him. Then again, I don't trust anyone."
He turns back to the others, "Alright, lock this place down. Secure the front gate. I don't want anyone in or out of this place until we get to the bottom of this"
Ben: "Locks won't keep people from getting out, sir."
Chef: "Locks won't, but Chef will." He tugs down on his shirt and leaves the room
The Detective starts to talk to Ben, "Look, you're a real smart son of a bitch. Handsome too, beautiful even, but we don't have time for this. I think we forgot the most important question of all during our arousing game of whodunnit." Turns to Natalie "Why?" Then back to Ben. "Why?" Ben looking at Natalie when he asked that for a split second
"Come, walk with me," The Detective says to Natalie
"Erm ok," she follows, having no clue what just happened
"Why did he invited us all here? Why tonight? He said we were celebrating something, but he never specified what. It's almost as if this whole shindig of a hootenanny was just a ruse. Mark was my friend- had been for years, then he went quiet." They both stop in their tracks. "I knew something was wrong, I just never figured out what. Now I guess I never will."
He looks a bit upset, speaking directly to Natalie now, "Look, I'm gonna level with you. You're my new partner. I've been working with him for years." They then carry on walking again. "Now I've been doing this for a long time, and I know something is wrong. There is a murderer-" [Thunder clap] catches them by surprise, "-here amongst us, and we need to find it, and you look like a trustworthy... somebody. I know we just met, but I am an excellent judge of character. Excellent like a fox." He winks at her, making her smile a little.
