"None taken," A replied, smiling at the weak pun Siegfried just said. "Oh, the six o'clock news is about to start in roughly thirteen seconds. I can prove who I am."
Katrina looked to the TV on her right and flicked it on. Sure enough, fourteen seconds later, the program began. That in itself proved A was in the same timezone as Jagex.
The anchor man began to show, beginning with an overview of what was to come in the news. Among them was the top story, entitled 'The Fatal Glitch': Online Game Murderers.
"The Fatal Glitch...?" Katrina mumbled into the microphone.
"Do you like it? Siegfried thought of it." A explained.
"But first, we have a message from The Anonymous Agent about what he calls 'The Fatal Glitch of Runescape'." The news reader announced.
Then the recording began and A'* all too familiar, disguised voice began speaking.
"I am making this announcement to confirm my identity to Jagex, request assistance from the police and to make it known that I, The Anonymous Agent has chosen to investigate this case,"
Katrina and all of the Jagex moderators were watching the TV in awe. To some of them, this seemed proof that A was the Anonymous Agent. Katrina, however, was still unsure.
The TV recording of A went on to explain what he required from the police and what this meant for the public. He also urged people to stop playing Runescape and leave this to himself, the police, Jagex and his 'associate'.
Siegfried, who was in a different country to Jagex and A, was unable to view the broadcast and had to wait for it to finish. He had no idea that A'* associate was him.
Katrina sighed, still a little unsure of whether she was able to trust A or not. But for now, he seemed genuine.
"As you can see I've just asked for the same details I asked of you from the police. Once I get them, we can proceed." A explained.

"You can get your information straight from the police...?" One of the Jagex Mods inquired.
"Oh yes, I actually know the police chief of Cambridge personally," A lowered his voice. "He actually knows my real name, face and voice. If you REALLY still have doubts I can arrange for you to speak with him."
"No, that won't be necessary," Katrina responded. "Let's just get on with the investigation, shall we?"
"Well actually..." A mumbled. "I don't have anything to work with right now. To be honest I don't want to just go straight in and kill the two players. Not to mention that they're much higher leveled than me. No, I want to try and find them in real life and arrest them, it's much cleaner that way."
Siegfried, Katrina and the rest of the Jmods said nothing.
"For now, I just want to survey. Siegfried," He began directing his speech at him. "I want you to do as you were doing before, searching Runescape for the suspected players. It should be much easier now that we know their names..."
"No problem." Siegfried replied almost immediately at the end of A'* sentence.
"Jagex, I would like you to find out everything you can about those two players. What they've said in voice chats, their home worlds, any threads they've made on the forums etcertera..."
"Will do." Katrina said.
"Great. Now then, I'll be back later to search for the two players as Siegfried is doing. But I need to get dinner on. See you all later."
With that, A stepped up from his seat and walked over to his kitchen, leaving his macroing software on to keep him logged in, as Siegfried would then explain.
The Jagex moderators and Siegfried all filed out of A'* house, Katrina muttering something about Rule seven as she left.

~Chapter XIII~
As expected, Adrian found Wide Eyes and Big Man (who had been going around by the name of 'Muscles') quite easily. They hung around in Varrock, attacking and killing anyone who tried to talk to them.
Adrian found it unbelievable that they could just stand in the middle of a busy city and kill people. It also appeared that they weren't going to change worlds anytime soon.
Adrian decided he would hang around Varrock for a while. All the while silently killing those who wronged him. But he'd have to be careful. While his sister had been killed and his name relatively clear, he still didn't want to risk anything.
So he did nothing but plan for the next few days.
Plan and survey.
*********************************************************************************
"Has Jagex said anything yet?" Wide Eyes asked as Muscles returned with the paper.
"Nah," He replied, slapping the paper down on the table. "Not to us anyways, they keep urging people not to play, but they still do."
Wide Eyes laughed. "It's great living in a world of idiots!"
"But we ARE famous now..." Muscles continued. "The police are still trying to find out who we are. But the glitch keeps em out!"
"Not to mention that the other guy with the glitch appears to have gone into hiding. I was right into thinking he went to that school. If he tries to stop us we'll keep rousing suspicion towards the school in New York."
"Then HE'LL be the one caught, not us!"
"Muscles, noob ahoy."
"Huh?"
Muscles turned towards his monitor. Standing in front of the two of them in the virtual world of Runescape was a level fifty seven. He was complimenting the two of them on their levels.
"May I?" Muscles chuckled.
"I had the last one. Go for it."
Muscles had in his inventory around twelve Zamorak Brews. His hitpoints were quite low and with a full set of Dharoks equipped, he'd be able to hit quite highly.
The noob never saw the red fifty eight coming.

As Muscles slammed his Great Axe down the noob was vanquished with one almighty strike, being shocked to death in the real world as well.
"*Sigh*, I'm getting quite bored." Wide Eyes commented tiredly.
"You thinkin'...?"
"Yes, let's move to phase two. I grow weary of this farce. Jagex must either do as we say or the public suffers."
*********************************************************************************
"A, I've found them." Siegfried announced over voice chat.
"That was quick." A remarked while he went over the paper. Another twenty or so had been killed, all in random places.
"They're both 'One Thirty Eights', as I am. Last I checked Varrock is a single combat area, they could easily tag me. I'd need your help if I'm to fight them."
"We don't want to fight them Siegfried," A reminded. "Just keep an eye on them, but keep your distance. Are there any people around you?"
"Yeah, a lot of people just staring. Easy to blend into the crowd."
"Listen carefully Siegfried. It's about what I've found."
"I'm listening."
"The first murder ever was done on a random player at the Experiments. The second was on a trio of players who were bullying another. That player was then killed for being involved. Finally, there were two more players killed and this time the killers made themselves public for the first time. All other times the killer had tried to keep himself secret. From then on, all the murders have been done in busy areas in front of numerous witnesses."
"So it's strange then, that'd they'd kill all these people secretly and then just randomly start killing some more in public." Siegfried concluded from A'* statement.
"There's more. Save the first, all victims up until the ones AFTER the first public murders have had something in common. They all attend the same school."
"Interesting..."
"What's more is, all of the victims except for one have had rather notorious records with the school."

"Huh?"
"They all have rather bad school reports, as they've have been detentioned for graffiting, skipping class, refusing to do work and most notably bullying."
"Oh."
"However, one student is what one would suspect to be the complete opposite to the others. Not a single detention, no work incomplete and was recently top of her class. But here's the strange bit: She's younger than the other victims by up to two years, a model student and was one of two to be killed in the first of the public murders."
"So it's odd because all the other victims were vicious bullies and thugs, so it then becomes suspicious when a sweet little girl is murdered."
"Precisely. Now then, do you still have your sights on Wide Eyes and Big Man?"
"Of course, they haven't moved a muscle."
"Good, now...Hear this,"
A paused, as he normally did when he had something important to say.
"I think the two players you are staring at right now, are NOT the ones we were first looking for."
"How have you come to that?" Siegfried replied, startled.
"All players that attend the school were killed in secret, aside from the obvious two. That means that the first murderer was afraid of being caught. However, Wide Eyes and 'Muscles' and he calls himself, are quite confident and rightly so. All efforts by the police to track them down via IP tracing and the like have failed. The Fatal Glitch prevents them from doing so."
A paused again, this time for breath.
"The first victims were most likely killed as an act of revenge. From the reports I've received, there are three students who are primary targets of the victims. Interestingly, one of them had their sister killed by Wide Eyes and Muscles. Now, I can conclude that the two have discovered the same pattern in deaths and attacked in public the two students, so as to draw attention towards the school and away from wherever they are."
"So that we may suspect a student?"

"Correct. As to why Madeline Nave (the 'sweet little girl') was killed, I can only surmise that Wide Eyes and Muscles don't know as much as we do about the students and chose to kill random members. They got lucky with the first but unlucky with the second."
"Do...Do you really think you're right?" Siegfried asked.
"Yes, but that doesn't mean I am. If killing persist even after the two are killed or new evidence is found, it will mean we know where to look."
"Where?"
In his seat, A held up a piece of paper, names and details scrawled across it. Three of them were circled.
"Gordon Folly, Runescape player and victim of schoolyard bullying," A read the first circled name.
"Braden Josh, another Runescape player and bully target."
A came to the last name on the list.
"Adrian Nave, avid Runescape player and long time hater and suffer of bullying."

~Chapter XIV~
"I'll take the ones to the west, you get the east."
"Alright, let's do this."
Wide Eyes and Muscles set their voice chat to 'on' and then announced through text for everyone to join their chat. Several didn't, but within seconds almost everyone who had been crowding around the duo were logged into their voice chat.
Naturally, to prevent mass spam, Wide Eyes had setup his chat so that only those on his friend's list could speak through voice chat. Now he and Muscles could speak to the crowd without distractions.
"Are there any player moderators around here?" Wide Eyes asked the mob. One person responded with a yes, only to have a blank space next to his name in the chat, revealing his status as a regular player. Muscles punctured him with the dragon dagger, then followed it up with a strike from his axe, killing the player.
Wide Eyes scanned the crowd and found at least a dozen players who hadn't responded or joined his chat.
"I can't imagine JaGex not wanting to keep an eye on us, so I'll assume there is a mod in the crowd." He declared. He then typed his next sentence so everyone could hear it.
"Tell JaGex that if they don't do as we ask, I'll kill everyone here."
With that, Muscles changed into Ahrims Robes and staff, as did Wide Eyes. Before anyone could even think, Ice Barrage spells were being cast on as many people in the crowd as possible.
They'd made the mistake of bunching together, so now they'd all been hit by the spell and frozen in place. This included Siegfried.
"A!" Siegfried roared into his own mic. "Katrina! Somebody!"
A responded swiftly, "What is it?"
"Wide Eyes and Big Man, they're attacking! They're demanding to be put into contact with someone from JaGex or they'll kill everyone here!"
A pondered on this as quickly as he could. Varrock was a single combat zone, the fact that the two were able to attack everyone meant that the glitch could bypass multi and single combat zone rules.

"This is Katrina!" Another voice cried from Siegfried's earpiece. "Siegfried, focus on getting those people out of there and stalling the two of them!"
"A...?" Siegfried asked uncertainly. He was being asked to go into combat with two people of his own level. Both were equipped with ancient magics and would have no trouble defeating him.
"Siegfried," A responded. "I will come and assist you as soon as possible. Hold them off for as long as possible."
Siegfried wasn't prepared to trust Katrina but A had more than earnt the right to it.
"Alright, I have my godsword and Melee armour so I don't know how long I'll last."
Siegfried gulped and prepared for what may be his last few moments of life. He swallowed the contents of three potions in his inventory; a dose of Super attack, strength and defense boosted his stats quite considerably. He also had his ninety nine prayer fully recharged. He doubted that his two opponents would have any potions as they wouldn't be expecting retaliation.
Their loss if that was the case.
Wide Eyes and Muscles had been targeting lower levels with supplies of food. They knew they'd be the easiest to hold captive. A level fifty eight they had in their grip had made his way north, onto the walkway of the palace. As Wide Eyes and Muscles had been south of the fountain they headed north, right past Siegfried. That's when he made his move.
In his possession he held the Bandos Godsword, with a matching platebody and tassets. Also equipped was his regular set of armour, worn to give him the greatest strength bonus possible.
The two murderers ignored Siegfried, their eyes set on the fleeing fifty eight. With a click on his special attack he declared an attack on the player furthest back: Wide Eyes.
The attack was a success, Siegfried managed to hit a mighty sixty two on him, not only doing severe damage but lowering his defense but a substantial amount. The pair's response was nothing but pure shock.

"What the hell?!" Muscles roared out loud as he watched Wide Eyes frantically chomping down on his sharks. He'd managed to heal forty hitpoints by the time Siegfried struck again and because of his significantly reduced defense Siegfried scored another blow this time a thirty six. He was now on fourty one hitpoints. One more blow and he could die.
"Grant! Kill him!" Wide Eyes thundered, calling Muscles by his true name. As Muscles turned he cast ice barrage on Siegfried, dealing twenty eight damage and stopping him in his tracks.
"Keep that up! I'll dagger him!" Wide Eyes called, making his plans known to all in his voice chat. Unfortunately, Siegfried had been required to remain in A'* clan chat. But the level fifty eight who was still within range heard and called out to Siegfried through text:
"He's using the dagger!"
Siegfried immediately used his protect from melee prayer and ate one of his sharks. Naturally, the dagger didn't hit him too severely. It was the constant stream of ice spells coming from Muscles that was doing the damage.
"Keep it up! We'll kill him soon!" Wide Eyes roared victoriously. But because he was so caught up in killing Siegfried he never saw A coming from behind him. It was only until he was right next to him did Muscles see A.
"Who the hell are-" Muscles began to type, only to be interrupted by A'* own message.
"JUDGEMENT!" A'* message shook and glowed above his head in a vibrant display of colours and he drew his Armadyl Godsword and delivered his aforementioned noun upon Muscles.
As Muscles had been keeping his hitpoints low in order to kill the noobs that irritated him, he only had thirty hitpoints at the time of A'* attack.
A spun, his sword creating an elegant twirl in the air following his slash.
A red thirty splashed on Muscles body.

~Chapter XV~
The muscles Grant was so proud of being nicknamed after were fried to nothing but charred tissue the second his character hit the ground ingame. Wide Eyes in the seat next to him could do nothing but cover shield his eyes from the blinding burst of electricity that simply destroyed his friend, his companion, his BROTHER. He turned his attention ingame and surveyed his situation.
The man in gleaming white, the man with the divine blade, HE'D done it. He'd killed his only companion and remaining family member. At that moment, the sight of A standing before Muscle's gravestone enraged Wide Eyes. All this time he'd believed he and his brother had been doing right and now someone had come and torn it from him.
He had to pay.
But before he had anytime to do anything, Siegfried was on the move, charging towards Wide Eyes with his brutally heavy sword prepared to finish the fight.
Blinded by rage Wide Eyes fought back instead of fleeing from the two opponents he now faced. He changed back to his Ahrim staff and halted Siegfried's advance. He then turned and drew an Abyssal Whip and with it began to strike A. The only thing on his mind was vengeance.
With only twenty defense, A was having a hard time evading Wide Eye's blows even with protect from melee enabled and whole inventory of food at his disposal. WIth Siegfried frozen in place, A could do nothing.
A found his hitpoints rapidly decreasing with each hit, each blow from Wide Eyes whip would hit somewhere over twenty five, with the occasional splash. Once again able to move, Siegfried brought his godsword crashing down on Wide Eyes. His defense still drastically reduced, the blow landed and hit a fourty seven. Wide Eyes so blinded by his anger never expected A to retaliate after taking such a beating and was genuinely surprised to find him performing another Judgement special attack on him with only thirty or so hits left.
A red fifty two splattered on Wide Eyes body and his health bar went red.
