One night in a local bar on Jakville, an musician was performing in there, all visitors who were watching him cheered for him.
“Thank you very much!” said the musician.
“Okay, guys, the bar is now closed, please leave now! Thank you for visiting.” said the bouncer.
One hour later, the musician was murdered.

The next day, Stefano took his shirt off and he played his piano.
“Stefano,” called Dean came shirtless “which shirt should I wear, black T-shirt or my green shirt with black T-shirt in the inside of my shirt?”
“Okay, I think you should wear your green shirt and black t-shirt.” answered Stefano “Do you think that you’re ready?”
“Of course, yes!” answered Dean.
“Me too!” said Stefano.
Then Kent came “Guys, should I wear my Arsenal F.C. t-shirt in the performance?”
“Kent, you’re not going to watch Arsenal in the football match, but we’re going to perform on our class charity event.” said Stefano.
“Wait, we should think first what did out class president…” said Dean.
“…did one week ago!” said Stefano and Kent.

One week ago, all Stefano’s classmates were in the class, they were talking.
“Okay guys, we have to perform something.” said Alex, the class president “We know that we have our task to hold the talent show on one night.”
“Alex, can I cut your sentence?” asked Melinda, the class vice-president “You know America’s Got Talent, The X Factor, American Idol, and So You Think You Can Dance, we have to create the talent show just like that!”
“But that’s competition!” said Alex.
“But we have to change the format.” said Melinda.
“Guys, can I talk?” asked Kent.
“Sure.” answered Alex.
“Miranda is right, we can change the format, this won’t be the competition, but the celebration of our talents.” said Kent.
“What to celebrate?!” asked James, he laughed, along with other students, except Stefano, Dean, Alex, and Melinda.
“Guys, I know that the ticket sales will be counted, and where it will be going to? I have an idea, the money of the ticket sales will be donated for the charity.” said Stefano.
“Yeah, I agree, anyway, in Indonesia, there’s many poor people and foster kids.” said Dean.
“I think that’s a great idea, Stefano. But we must attract all students of Jakville Community School to watch and donate their money for charity, so that means, we must perform well on the show!” said Alex.

“Wait, it was you!” said Kent.
“Yeah, I think it will be nice.” said Stefano.
“Wait, I think I must perform shirtless and I can show my abs.” said Dean.
“No, you can’t!” shouted Stefano and Kent.
“Hey, guys, you will be awesome today! I can’t wait to see you perform on the show!” said Will.
“Yeah, thank you very much, Will.” said Stefano.
“Wait, you don’t go to school, it’s 9 AM already!” said Will.
Stefano, Kent, and Dean responded “Today is Saturday!”
“What are you going to perform? And the others?” asked Will.
“We’re going to perform our mash-up of Foo Fighters’ Rope and of course Ne-Yo’s Closer.” answered Stefano.
“And I will be dancing when Stefano sing Closer.” answered Kent “While Dean will be singing Rope.”
“Alex and Melinda will open the show and show their dancing skills, Lauren will be singing Jar of Heart, Robert will be dancing as well, Haley will be singing River Deep, Mountain High, James and the others will be singing the mash-up of Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance and Poker Face. And we’re going to close the show.” continued Dean.
“Wow, but I can’t wait to see you perform.” said Will. After that, his phone was ringing “Oh Stefano and Kent, come with me.” He, Stefano, and Kent left.
“Hey, what about me?” asked Dean.
“Just go to school, we’ll meet you later!” answered Stefano.

They arrived at the local bar where that musician was murdered.
“So the victim is an musician?” asked Kent.
“Guys, he performed here last night, and he was alone after the bouncer and all other visitors left the place.” answered Stefano.
“You asked the security guard?” asked Will.
“Yeah.” answered Stefano.
Kent started identifying the musician, he took pictures of his body.
“I think we should go inside.” said Stefano.
“Good idea.” said Will.
Stefano and Will came inside the bar, they soon found a tied rope that was stuck on the roof.
“It could be suicide.” said Will.
“Yeah.” said Stefano, and suddenly, Stefano’s phone was ringing, he took his phone “It’s from Dean.” He answered the call.
“Stefano, we have to go to school, we have a rehearsal now!” said Dean.
“Hold on, Dean, we will be right there!” said Stefano ended the call “Will,”
“That’s okay, Danny and I will continue our investigation, you and Kent just go to school to prepare your show.” said Will.
“Okay, Will, good luck.” said Stefano.
“:Good luck for you too, buddy.” said Will.
Stefano left the bar “Kent, we have to go!”
“Now?” asked Kent.
“Yes!” answered Stefano.
Then they left the bar.

In Jakville Community School, the students were rehearsing their performances. From Melinda and Alex, they were dancing to Nicki Minaj’s Save Me, Robert was dancing to Coldplay’s Fix You, Lauren and Haley were practicing singing, while James and his choir members were singing Lady Gaga’s songs. Stefano and Kent finally met Dean.
“There you are! We have to rehearse!” said Dean.
“We know that!” said Kent.
“Okay, I must tell you again, first, Dean will sing first, and then I will sing, Dean will also sing as the backing vocal, in the middle of the song, Kent will dance. You got it?” explained Stefano.
“Got it!” said Kent and Dean.

Will and Danny were checking the musician’s body at the lab on the house, they found a wound.
“Will, I think it’s not a suicide, I found a gunshot wound on his head.” said Danny.
“But I don’t see any wound on his head.” said Will.
“In the back, silly!” shouted Danny showed the wound.
“Oh, so this is not suicide?” asked Will.
“Maybe.” answered Danny “We need Stefano.”
“Bro, he is rehearsing for his charity talent show in school tonight, and I bought the tickets for us.” said Will.
“Thanks, but no thanks, I will be busy tonight.” responded Danny.
“No big deal, c’mon, let’s continue.” said Will “But I need some water first.” He left to the kitchen.
After Will left, Danny took the ticket to that night talent show.

Before rehearsing, Alex had something to say.
“Well, I think we need more talent, but are you all agree?” asked Alex.
“Yeah, sir!” answered all students.
“Someone will be having his or her extra performance tonight.” said Melinda “Who’s want to?”
No one answered the question.
“I’d love to.” answered Kent after ten seconds.
“Kent, are you serious?” asked Stefano.
“Yeah, in fact, I need more dancing.” answered Kent.
“Kent, are you sure do you want this?” asked Alex.
“Yeah.” answered Kent.

Will was checking his laptop, he found the identity of the musician.
“I got it! His name is Ozzy Smith! He’s 23 years old, he planned launching his professional music career, but he couldn’t because he’s dead.” said Will.
“So, who will be in our suspect list?” asked Danny.
“His best friends called Marshall and Tripp, we should ask them.” answered Will.
“But where we can find them?” asked Danny.
“Okay, I’ll search.” said Will, he searched for the suspects’ address.
“Will, I found this gun in the bar, the killer used this to kill Ozzy, we need the fingerprint.” said Will.

Back to the school, all students on the class finished their rehearsal at 2 PM.
Stefano answered the call “Will, how’s it going?”
“We’re going to visit his friends, Marshall and Tripp, you have to come with us.” said Will.
“Yeah, our rehearsal had just been finished, I’ll be right there!” said Stefano ended the call “Kent, we have to go!”
“I’m sorry, Stefano, but I have to set my choreography first for my dance.” said Kent “But good luck.”
“Thank you, bro!” said Stefano, he shook hands with Kent and left.

Stefano and Will arrived at Marshall’s house.
“Is this his house?” asked Stefano “His house is so wor…”
“Don’t say that!” said Will, he knocked the door.
Marshall opened the door, but he ran away.
“Hey!” shouted Will started chasing him, Marshall tried to block him with a sofa, but Will could jump it and caught Marshall finally “Don’t try to run!”

Marshall was asked.
“I already told you, man! He was with me and Tripp.” said Marshall.
“At the bar?” asked Stefano “We know that you were in the bar when Ozzy was performing there.”
“You know it.” said Marshall.
“Where were you after the bar was closed?” asked Will.
“I was in the outside, waiting for Ozzy and Tripp.” answered Marshall.
“That’s it?” asked Will.
“Yeah.” answered Marshall.
“We need your fingerprints.” said Stefano.

At 4:30 PM, Stefano and Will arrived at Tripp’s house.
“That was confusing!” said Will.
“And we arrived at his house.” said Stefano, he rang the bell.
Tripp opened the door “Can I help you?”
“We’re detectives, we need to ask you something.” said Will “Are you Ozzy’s friend?”
“Yeah, I am. Don’t need to ask, I was in the bar with Ozzy and Marshall, and I drank too much champagne, so I was drunk.”
“Do you remember what happened?” asked Stefano.
“I don’t know, I don’t remember, I was drunk.” answered Tripp.
“Okay, that’s all, and we need your fingerprints.” said Stefano.
Will saw the gun, and those were the same gun as the killer’s gun.

Back to Jakville Community School, Kent finished his dancing rehearsal, Dean gave a cup of water to him.
“Thank you, bro.” said Kent.
“My pleasure.” said Dean “Where’s Stefano?”
“I don’t know, he haven’t arrived yet.” answered Kent.
“The show is going to start at 6:30 PM.” said Dean.
“6:30!? It supposed to start at 7 PM!” said Kent.
“I was shocked, so shocked. Alex said that earlier is better.” said Dean “Don’t tell me that you will be dancing shirtless.”
“Yeah, Lauren wants me to do that.” said Kent “She’s my girlfriend anyway.”

Stefano and Will were waiting for the lab test results in their house, but Stefano’s phone rang.
“Hello?” said Stefano answered the call.
“Stefano, the show is going to start at 6:30 PM, not 7 PM.” said Dean.
“Who said that?” asked Stefano.
“Alex.” answered Dean “And the show will end at 7:30, not 8.”
“Okay, I will be late, and I will right there at 7, and good luck for Kent. See you there!” said Stefano “The show is going to start at 6:30.”
“What!?” said Will “It’s 6:25 already!”
“Don’t worry, we will arrive there at 7 PM!” said Stefano.

“Guys, take a look at this.” said Danny pointed at Tripp’s memo, they read it

Why did Marshall force me to kill Ozzy!? I told him that I don’t want to! I will leave this f***ing world and commit suicide, so I won’t be killed by Marshall.

“Guys, we have to arrest Marshall!” said Danny.

Back to Jakville Community School, Haley came back to the stage, while Kent came back to the backstage.
“How was it?” asked Dean.
“That was great, buddy!” answered Kent as he put his shirt on.
“Ladies and gentlemen, it’s Alex and Melinda!” cheered Haley.
Alex and Melinda came to the stage, Melinda sat down on the chair and opened a book when the music played. Alex came to her, she felt devastated. Alex took her from the chair.
“What the hell is this?” asked Kent.
“I don’t understand this dance.” answered Dean.

Later, Haley was singing Jar of Hearts on stage.
“Who do you think you are? Runnin' 'round leaving scars. Collecting your jar of hearts and tearing love apart. You're gonna catch a cold, from the ice inside your soul. So don't come back for me, who do you think you are?” sang Haley.
“I think she was good.” said Dean.

“Okay, we need to rehearse first. If Stefano doesn’t come, I will sing his part and also dance.” said Kent, and then his iPhone rang, he answered the call “Stefano, where are you? It’s 7 PM already!”
“We’re stuck on the traffic jam! We’re gonna be late!” said Stefano.
