Casting his vote, Takeshi placed his vote in the small, steel box, and watched as the sixteen others did the same.
"So James, when will we be finding out the results of the vote?" He said, looking at the small TV in the corner of the room, with the picture on the screen being the man named James, the current host of this round of Serial Killer.
"Most likely within the hour, and from my current views of the votes, none of you are doing well." James replied. As everyone looked around the room at each other, they knew one of them was the killer
"Well, I honestly don't know what to think right now," Takeshi said to no one in particular, while gathering up his personal belongings. "My suspicion landed on Raven, and whoever it was gave him the Pair of Aces right before killing him, so I don't trust a single one of ya'" he said, his eyes landing right on Homero, the target of his last vote. "I do believe I will be seeing you all rather soon, so good night!" Takeshi said, slamming the door behind him. If only he knew it would be his last.
As he rounded the corner a few blocks away, he heard a voice behind him.
"Why'd you do it man? Why'd you have to kill those people, and let others take the blame?" The man said. As Takeshi turned around, he recognized the man from just a few minutes ago.
"Huh? What are you talking about Rya-" Takeshi's sentence was cut short by a thick wooden bat, slamming into the back of his skull. Takeshi woke later, not knowing the amount of time that had passed, finding himself in a dark room, with sixteen people surrounding him, all of them with their backs to him.
"What the hell is this? Who are all of yo-... Wait, don't tell me. This is my execution, isn't it?" Takeshi said with anger, then malice in his voice.
"Well, five of us voted for you, and apparently, that was good enough to ensure you dead." Other Ryan said to him, motioning for the fifteen others to turn around.
"Listen, I didn't kill any of them. I swear." Takeshi pleaded with them, knowing that it was to no avail.
"Then how did you know about the Pair of Aces? None of us were able to get to the crime scene before James paid off some cops to get the evidence out of there. You were the only that knew, and that was as good enough as a death sentence." Philip said to him. Takeshi realized he was right- he was the only one of the group who knew about it.
"Listen, I got it out of some cops by buying them some beer and donuts. Is that so wrong?" Takeshi pleaded one last time with the group, knowing it wouldn't help.
"Yes it is. And now you must pay for it!" The group said in unison, one of them drawing out a knife, and stabbing him once in the chest, before passing the knofe to the next person in line. All of them taking one stab then passing on.
At stab nine, Takeshi had died-but they were ordered to kill him this way, and kill him they did-trying to make sure the killer would stay away. But alas, it was to no avail-The killer is alive, and kill he will, for he will not stop, to no avail.
