A Poisoning
by Audrey Greathouse
tyler where r u!?
i left. dan's cool, but michael's an ass. the party wasn't my scene
no, dude, u have to come back. its isaac
what's up with isaac?
ty...man...he's not breathing
WHAT
paramedics just got here. it doesn't look good
i'm on my way back. what happened to isaac?
katie just found him on the floor in dan's room
are you still there?
yeah
help me figure out what happened then
it looks like he just passed out up in dan's room. too much to drink
he prolly went upstairs when he started feeling sick & just didn't tell anybody
isaac doesn't drink. he didn't get drunk tonight
prolly after you left...
he never touched a drop. i knew him six years...he wasn't like that
he probably didn't know what his limits were then :/
you better hurry over ty
what's happening?
the paramedics have cleared everyone out of the room. praying for him
i'm almost there
he wouldn't have gotten drunk. did u ever see him drink tonight?
no, but its not like i was watching
did ANYBODY see him drink? anybody say anything about him drinking?
idk, probably somebody
ty...don't hurry...
what's the matter?
isaac's not going to wake up
no. fuck. but the paramedics...
they just declared him dead of alcohol poisoning :(
no, hell no!
i'm so sorry, ty
he DIDN'T do this to HIMSELF
i don't mean to be insensitive, tyler...but how else could have it happened?
i don't know. that's what I'm trying to figure out
how far away are you?
i just parked down the block. meet me at the back door in a minute, ok?
i'm down there now. see you soon
why was he in dan's room? where was dan?
dan was downstairs. i was watching him in a beer pong tournament when we heard katie scream
if isaac was feeling sick, why didn't he go to the bathroom?
was there any vomit in the room?
no, just some blood on the window where he passed out & hit his head
if he'd been able to throw up the booze it probably wouldn't have killed him :(
u said katie found him. is she still there?
yeah, nobody has left the house since we found him, except noah and james...
did he and katie have any interaction earlier?
no, they could have been avoiding each other for all i know
that's funny. they used to be so close
did you see her at all beforehand?
everybody did. she had a big fight with mike
wow O.o did they break up?
no. he was pretty drunk & started fighting really loud with katie
he was being an asshole and wanted to go, but she didn't want to leave
oh hey. i see you now
what happened after mike and katie's fight? did he just stay and sulk? where is he?
why r u texting me when i'm right here?
i don't want anyone to hear us talking. what about mike?
he stormed off, down into the basement
he didn't leave?
not initially. noah and james were down there shooting up
O.O christ, it turned into THAT kind of party?
not really, but they snuck off to do their thing. crazy idiots
anyway, the weird part was mike came back up after about 10 minutes to apologize to katie
he was real nice & told her he wasn't going to let his bad night ruin hers
...that's out of character
are we talking about the same mike? this was Mike Solve-It-With-Your-Fist Wajowski?
i don't know what noah and james told him, but he came back super chill and then left down the hall
didn't even make a noise slamming the door behind him
how long was this before katie found isaac?
i don't know...half an hour?
a lot can happen in 30 minutes. let's go to the basement. tell me about noah and james
what about them?
did u see them?
not really, not until i went down to warn them the cops were coming
they didn't know?
they hadn't heard katie scream. they were still down in the basement, arguing with each other
what about?
they had misplaced one of noah's needles down there and were shouting at each each other
and yet they had managed to calm down mike?
i don't think they'd lost the needle yet when he went down
was there hard alcohol at the party, or just beer?
some hard alcohol. mike had a bottle of vodka practically glued in his hand
did he take it with him when he left?
yah
let's fast forward: what was katie doing in dan's room?
she said she needed to fix her bra
let's head upstairs. now that they've got isaac in the ambulance, we can investigate
investigate WHAT? did you not just see the paramedics take an alcohol-poisoned isaac away?
it can't be that simple. what was the scene when you found him?
we went in as soon as katie unlocked the door. these lights were off, katie had pulled her shirt back on inside out
isaac was on the floor near the open window. you can still see the blood on the glass
why would katie leave the lights off? don't u think she would have made sure there was no one in there?
and even before we got the lights on, i could see someone was on the floor...but maybe she wasn't expecting anybody
sounds like she WAS expecting somebody
wtf, who would she be expecting?
think about it. people hook up at parties all the time
katie's got a boyfriend tho
...who fights with her and didn't want her to be at that party. after he leaves, she discretely heads upstairs to this dark bedroom & starts undressing
u think katie was cheating on mike...with isaac?
u said mike didn't even slam the door when he left. did he make any noise leaving? did anybody actually SEE him leave?
No, but he went down the hall toward the door & wasn't seen again
but look at the layout. the door's down the hall and left, right by the stairs
wait...do you think he's still here? O_O
hmmm. daniel's bedroom window is still open
yah, so what?
someone could have left through it
OMG
wait, what are u getting at?
i think mike knew what was up between isaac & katie. someone might have gotten drunk & let a rumor slip
that explains why he didn't want her at the party, but why was he calm AFTER their fight?
he didn't want to appear to have motive
DON'T TALK TO ME, TEXT. SOMEONE MIGHT HEAR
jesus tyler. fine. i'll text it: this is so far fetched. isaac was not found beat to a pulp, he was passed out on the floor
only after he'd “accidentally” hit the window hard enough to draw blood and subdue him
so mike said he was leaving, snuck upstairs, waited for isaac, beat him against this window, forced him to drink a lethal amount of alcohol, & left out the window?
that's your theory?
mike still had his vodka, right?
not nearly enough to kill someone...not that alcohol poisoning even works that fast
but he had it
yah, he did. look, tyler. if ur upset & want to talk, I get it but this...this makes no sense.
ok, but answer me this: what would happen if u shot 100 cc's of vodka straight into someone's blood stream?
wtf
what happened to noah's needle?
wait
oh my god
i think we need to go downstairs and talk to the police
