In this paragraph, I will be predicting if Teddy and Summer will uncover the real killer. My first prediction is that they will, in fact, find the true killer. My evidence is that Teddy and Summer were almost killed by the real killer. The real killer lets a tiger and a venomous snake out to stop the kids from continuing to investigate.

A: Immediately after the untimely death of Emily Brent I intimated to Armstrong that we must carry out our plan.
