Before Tara could make it to Clara she went off by herself.  Feeling astounded Tara decided to go off and search the house by herself.

Samantha looked around as everyone went off own their own  walks off to search the house

Cyndi was not at all receptive to his attempt to protect her, and Stu felt his temper flared. What did she want from him?! He was being nice, and all she could do was push him away. Fine then, if she wanted to get killed. See if he cared. Moving away with a huff as she shrugged off his arm, Stu decided to leave his wife alone and went to search the house. He still thought it was stupid to lock everyone in there with a potential murderer, but he wasn't going to be a sitting duck.

Cyndi looked up as Abigale settled. "Should we pair up and search the house?" Cyndi thought for a moment and continued, "We could search this room, or would you rather another room? We don't have to pair if you don't want to. Safety in numbers though, eh?"

"I ... guess. I definitely don't want to go through the house myself!" Said Abigale. "This room will do just fine I reckon, since we're already here and all." Abigale still wasn't sure if she could trust this women, or any one of the people in the house, but her want to not be alone with a murderer on the lose outweighed all that.

"Great!" Cyndi and Abigale search the Living Room.

Through all of the chatter, Kyle kept his hand on Bethany's shoulder. He hadn't been able to quite keep up with all of the conversation going on. It always was a bit hard to keep up sometimes without something to focus his attention on.

Though it seemed that everyone was splitting up to go search rooms for something? Kyle didn't quite know what that something was, but he did know that he wasn't going to leave Bethany to search alone.

Looking down at her, he asked, "Want to go together? To the study, maybe?" It didn't matter that he still felt a bit clueless in all of this. He was pretty sure Bethany would be able to fill him in.

Bethany nodded at Kyle. "The study's a good place to start," she said. She reached her hand to her shoulder, gently squeezing his hand. Then she began walking to the study.

Sara looked around for Tara and Clara, only to find out that they'd left without her. With a sigh, she went outside and climbed into the basement. Maybe there was evidence in his room?

Mr Crabtree shook his head as the whippersnappers around him set off to search the house; he could hear footsteps and noises from other rooms as he sipped his tea. Well, he thought; I'll leave all the theatrics up to them. Still, whilst I'm here, I may as well search the kitchen.

Tara walked back into the Dining room area hurriedly hoping to find Sara there.  She had been with Clara so she knew she was safe but all the talk about murder had made her worried about her friend.

Bethany arrived at the dining room as well. Instinctively, she took out her phone and checked it for a signal. "No luck," she sighed before putting it away.

Alejandro returned to the dining room seeing if anyone else would be there. There appeared to be two other guests there as well. It felt a bit awkward due to not knowing them and with the knowledge that there is a murderer among the Vintage Towers.

Cyndi strolled back into the dining room not expecting to find others in there. She looked to see if Abigale had followed. Maybe, she was just finishing up her search or cleaning up the room. And with that Cyndi drawn out a seat from the table and sat down, awaiting speech from one of the other guests in the room.

"Tara! There you are!" Sara exclaimed as she climbed out of the basement and walked into the dining room.

Mr Crabtree finished his quick look of the kitchen, drank the last of his tea and sat the mug on the counter, and began to shuffle back to the dining room. He had to see if the police were here yet, which he highly doubted, and see if any of those kids had found any 'leads',

Simon strolled back to the dining room and discovered several other house guests there as well.

Tara pulled out a chair and anxiously waited for the others to come back.  She sat with one leg bouncing up and down across her other leg, one arm leaned back on the chair to support her and her hand nervously twisting and untwisting her bottled dirt color hair over and over again, she just couldn't be calm until-"Tara!" A distinctive female voice entered her ears and she spun out of the chair to see Sara coming out of the basement.  Tara immediately went to Sara and grasped her hands shaking them up and down, "I'm so glad you're okay!"  She couldn't contain her energy at knowing that both of her friends were safe, for the moment.  "We were talking about who the murderer could be and I realized... what if the murderer attacks someone else!"

"I'm worried about that too, but I hope that nothing else will happen" Sara said nervously. "Did you find anything? Maybe that'll help us...."

Abigale entered the dining room and was surprised to see almost all of the other contestants already there. She took a seat and studied the room, waiting to see what information the others had found out. Out of all the rooms...why the one where the creepy seas body still is!?!?! Thought Abigale silently to herself.

Abigale got up from her chair and decided to search Mr. Manners' body for a diary or a journal? Maybe a note? Something that might give her clues about his death. Maybe he kept a diary/journal or there was a note left by the murderer. She wasn't too enthusiastic to touch a dead body, but figured she would rather find the clue than someone else!
