James opened the envelope, which contained a small list of instructions. He read them and turned around at the door.

"Ok, now for discussion. The reason why you're up here is because you all have a secret life you hide from your families, and someone knows everything about you, and is blackmailing you by paying him or her what you can afford, and at times, more than you can afford." He said looking at them all. Ms. Crystalheart suddenly rose up from her seat in anger.

"That's so absurd! My life has been nothing but an open book, I never did anything I would keep from my parents..."

"I see... Anyone else wishing to deny it?" No one said anything.

Mr. Bieber suddenly got up. "He's just bluffing you all! I suggest we all go home!" He said before he began walking.

"I'm sorry sir you cannot leave!" James said running behind him. Mr. Bieber went for the door but it was locked.

"All the doors are locked, and the windows are sealed."

"This is madness, you can't hold us here like prisoners!" He yelled. Suddenly all the guests began to argue about leaving.

"Everyone please! Just return to the living room! Everything will be explained." He said leading them back. Suddenly, Mr. Bieber makes a dash down the hall into the Greenhouse with James behind him.

"You can't get out that way!" He said.

"Why? It's nothing but glass." Mr. Bieber replied, but as soon as he would kick the door, a hungry alligator emerged hissing at the boot just separated from the thick glass. Realizing there was no way out, he had no choice but to go back into the Living Room in an angry attitude.

"Now, Ms. Crystalheart... According to your records, you hold a job as a simple tailor, correct?"

"Well yes, but what's wrong with that?"

"It appears someone found out that you make stripper clothing, and a couple of your customers seemed to have died in your clothes, and that would look terrible for you business's reputation." James said, looking dead in her eyes. Ms. Crystalheart looked away ashamed.

"Now, Mr. Nick, I heard that you have won plenty of annual bodybuilding contests correct? It seems as though someone in your figure would win hands down... But, the blackmailer found out you have been buying illegal imported supplements to boost your tone."

"I only did it because other supplements do not give me the proper results I need!" Mr. Nick said growling.

"Obviously, since there could be no way to have that nice tone of body without some cheats..." James said walking away from him before looking straight into Mr. Chihaku's face.

"And you! Your job is a simple yet difficult pharmacist... But you do in fact steal some drugs and sell them at raves since you obviously love to party." James said as he showed Mr. Chihaku a picture of himself at a rave with a black coat.

"The only reason why I did that was because I was forced by a burglar in my house to get them for me." Mr. Chihaku said with tearful eyes.

"Yes, but that was over a year ago, and you're still paying the blackmailer to keep it out of the media, which is why you never called 911." James said before turning over to Ms. Shiki.

"Now, Ms. Shiki, according to this, it states that your boyfriend died, of a "magical" incident." Ms. Kadmiel suddenly snickered at the idea.

"What's so damn funny about that? I loved my boyfriend."

"I see, so did he die of an "out of love potion"?"

"Absolutely not! I didn't kill him."

"Then why are you paying the blackmailer?" Mr. Rose asked.

"Because he and I held a job at the IRS, and I never wanted a scandal. He was also a part time Magician for parties, but he seemed to always have trouble reappearing after his grand finale." James then turned to Ms. Kadmiel who was still smiling.

"I know I'm being blackmailed alright, but this was something I did and I'm proud of. I held a small phone sex line for gays and lesbians because I wanted to see the humor of it. I'm not really paying the price for what I did, but still there is that conscience of yours saying that you shouldn't have done that, but I ignore it because I love playing little tricks." Mr. Rose then stood up and took a deep breath.

"Alright, I'm not going to wait for James to unmask me, and I am going to come clean. I am gay, and I have a secret marijuana field in my basement. Someone found out about it, and I have to pay up or I will be arrested and fired from my job. Thanks." He sat back down. Mr. Nick then walked over to Mr. Bieber.

"It's just leaves you now."

"So what's your secret?" Ms. Shiki asks.

"Oh his secret, really, he is the one who is blackmailing you. This is how he bought this mansion in the first place after years of paying to him." James said in a somewhat funny tone. Suddenly, a big roar of thunder went off in the snow clouds while Mr. Bieber sat there with a small grin. Mr. Rose suddenly got up enraged ready to fight.

"You asshole! I'm about to kick your skinny ass down this hallway!" He barked as he struck a punch to Mr. Bieber's jaw, but is countered back and hits the floor. Mr. Chihaku and Mr. Nick keep him at bay by restraining him while Ms. Shiki tended to Mr. Rose's bruised cheek. Suddenly Ms. Kadmiel knees Mr. Bieber in the balls, causing him to collapse at the floor. Everyone wooted and hollered at the unnecessary kick, when suddenly James started to yell that police are coming here.

"Gentlemen police will be here in an hour, all you guys need to do is just confess yourselves and your hell will be over!" He said.

"There's not a chance in hell you'll tell the police." Mr. Bieber said to everyone.

"Then I will! I have evidence in this Manor, and this conversation is being recorded live." James said back. Suddenly Mr. Bieber heads outside the room.

"Well I have something that might make up their minds." Mr. Bieber says as he grabs a suitcase at the door. He returns and opens it, revealing 6 presents.

"What's in here everyone?" He asked.

"The evidence of our lives?" Ms. Shiki guessed.

"Wait did you know we were coming?" Ms. Crystalheart askes.

"Oh yeah." He says as he gives the guests each a present. "Open them." Ms. Kadmiel smiled.

"Aw why not? I love getting random presents! I hope it's expensive!" She says as she opens it. She finds a metallic yet well-painted statue of a Wizard.

"A Wizard Statue.... Thanks?" She said confused. Mr. Rose opened his gift to find Marijuana Rope.

"Aw fuck yeah! Thanks!" He said happily. Mr. Chihaku found a Curtain Rod, Ms. Crystalheart finds an old 19th century Rusty Axe. Mr. Nick finds a gun that's made of complete silver, which also contained silver bullets and fully loaded. And finally, Ms. Shiki finds an Athame (wiccan knife) that is also made of silver, with a jewel encrusted handle.

"In each of your hands, you each have a weapon that can be fatal. If any of you go to the police and confess, you'll all be exposed on live TV.... But if one of you kills James now, no one but us will ever know.... He has the key to the front door, which he said he'll open over his dead body." Mr. Bieber says, trying to provoke the guests to do something rash, while James looked at Mr. Bieber with a stunned and frightened look, afraid that he'll die. Mr. Bieber then walked towards him.

"Let's see if he'll keep up that offer." He says while he walked to a wall with a light switch while everyone sat in different areas with weapons in hand.

"The only way to keep your secrets out of the public is for one of you to kill James.... As of riiiiiiiight..... NOW!" He suddenly turned off the lights. A few seconds later, a clank was heard, following with straining and grunting, then finally a gunshot went off and smashed something, following up with a woman and man's scream of terror.
