"Who is Fraster?"


Brown's face stiffened.


Mr. Fraster said


"That's the problem."


"He said that the killer was one of us. Who is that ? Who is the man wearing the mask of a human face ?"


"That's what everyone wants to know." replied Mr. Fraster gloomily


Brown asked


"But you have a theory."


"I might have a theory about it. But I have no proof. Maybe I was wrong too."


Brown said in a loud voice


"It's a nightmare."


Fraster looked at him suspiciously. She said


"What do you think Brown ?"


The waiter shook his head.


"I don't know. And that's what scares me."


Dr. Greece said angrily


"We have to get out of here by any means."


Victoria Barren looked out the window. She said


"Of course I'm not a weatherman. But at least in the next twenty-four hours there is no way there will be a boat that wants to come here. And if anything comes, it will only happen when the wind and rain stop."


Dr. Greece with a pale face complained. She said


"And until that happens maybe we're all dead on this island."


"I hope not."


Lady Victoria Barren thought


"Murder in bed. All doctors are the same. They always think of something unclear. "


The doctor said restlessly


"But there are three victims."


"of course. But you have to remember, they kill in a state of unpreparedness. But we've been warned. So we have to be ready."


Helen said in a grim tone.


"What should we do?"


Victoria calmly replied


"I think there's some things I can do."


Helen said


"We don't even know who he is."


Victoria plays her hair. She said


"I don't think so ."


Helen looked at him in disbelief


"You know who did it."


Victoria Barren said with a heart tone


"It's true I don't have enough evidence . But I think if you look at the bill there's one ."


Helen looked at him


"I don't understand what you mean."


Mr. Andy Hart went up to the second floor to his room. She took a brown sampyl notebook in the dresser drawer. It was not the book and he started writing


"Captain Morris died of stabbing . Suapa. Everyone is asking. But according to Mrs Victoria Barren the culprit was one of us. For a moment he did not move. The pen is still dancing among her fingers. With large and unkempt letters. He wrote. He said in a low voice


"I must be crazy."


"THE KILLER'S NAME IS ANDY HART"


Eyes closed. Suddenly he woke up and was surprised. He saw the note. With an angry cry he got up and threw the notebook onto the floor.


The storm is getting stronger. The wind roaring roar. Everyone gathered in the living room. Their faces were lethargic, anxious and paying attention to each other.


When Brown showed up with a tray of tea and cake, all jumped up. Two said


"Will the curtains be closed ?"


After everyone agreed to it. Curtains are closed. Lights and music on. The mood of Pu is cheerful again.


Rebbeca said


"Are you going to pour this tea, Mr. Andy Hart?"


The man replied.


"No . You just."


Rebbeca stepped onto the tea table. There was the clinking of a cup of porcelain and a teaspoon. The smell of fragrant tea makes the atmosphere more relaxed.


A pleasant afternoon tea. Dave Hudson said something nice. Fraster responds, Dr. Greece tells a funny story. Mr. Andy Hart sipped his tea cheerfully. Victoria Barren is busy playing music.


In that pleasant atmosphere Brown appeared. Brown said in a nervous tone.


"Excuse me master all , but does anyone know where the bathroom curtains are ?"


Hudson flinched


""Bathroom curtain ? What's the max Brown ?"


"I'm not sure sir. I was closing all the curtains in the corner of the house. And the bathroom curtains are not old. Just disappear."


Victoria asked


"Did that curtain still exist this morning ?"


"Yes sir."


Fraster asked


"What's that curtain like ?"


"Pink silk sir. "


Hudson said


"And now the curtain is gone."


"Yes sir."


They look at each other. Fraster said with a grim face


"Yes how else. Crazy things have happened. You can't kill people with silk alone. "


Brown said


"Good sir."


Brown got out and closed the door. A shadow of fear appeared again in the room. And once again in silence they looked at each other.


Dinner is coming. Not much just canned food. After they finished eating, they headed to the living room. Everyone has a tense face. No one is talking. At ten o'clock Mr. Andy Hart stood up. She said


"I'm going to go to bed. Good night."


Rebbeca said


"I am too."


The two climbed to the second floor along with Hudson and Fraster. After making sure the two people went into their room and locked it. The two men went down.


Fraster said


"No need to tell them to lock the door."


Hudson said


" Yes at least for tonight they survived."


He went downstairs followed by Mr. Fraster.


An hour later two women and two men also went upstairs to their rooms. While Brown was downstairs cleaning the dining room for tomorrow morning hearing Victoria say


"I don't think I need to remind you to lock the door. "


Fraster said


"It's safer if you also put a chair under the door. The door can be opened from the outside."


Hudson said


"It seems you know a lot."


Victoria said


"Good night everyone. Hopefully tomorrow morning we can still meet in one piece. "


Brown walked out of the dining room to the stairs. He caught a glimpse of four people entering the four doors and heard four keys in a swivel. He nodded his head and whispered.


"All right."


He went back to the dining room. Everyone is ready for breakfast tomorrow morning. His eyes glanced at the glass cabinet which contained seven porcelain dolls. Suddenly he smiled. She said


"I won't let her serve me anymore."


He locked the glass cabinet. Locking the dining room door. Then she locked the kitchen. After that he headed towards the living room and locked her up. The key was put in his pants pocket.


Then he turned off the lights downstairs and climbed the stairs to his room on the second floor.
