After a quick change of clothes, everyone meets in the library, one of the only establishments left without any bloodshed. Nightsky and Lee stand by the mystery section, watching warily as everyone sits at the tables, mumbling to each other in low voices. With only four people remaining, the atmosphere is naturally tense. However, the voting is relatively quick.
"Sprite," Magravan says
"Sprite," Kori says.
"Kori," Sprite says, frowning at them.
"Kori," Chaz says, but then seems to hesitate. Due to his lack of facial features, it's hard to tell what he's feeling, but apparently it's doubt as he then says, "No, on second thought, Sprite."
"Well, that's settled," Kori says, shrugging.
"Why couldn't voting have been this simple yesterday?" Lee mumbles, aiming her gun at Sprite. The bellboy puts his hands up, scowling.
"I'm telling you, voting me is a mistake," he says, his voice slightly agitated.
"No, I'm pretty sure we're right," Magravan says nonchalantly. Nightsky looks at the bellboy and then at Lee, her eyes wary and full of doubt.
"We'll find out," Lee says coolly. However, just as she pulls the trigger, Nightsky suddenly lunges at her.
"No!" the demon fennec fox shouts, shoving Lee's hand. The gun goes off as it flies through the air and the bullet misses its original mark, instead piercing a hole in Sprite's hair. The two agents tumble to the ground, rolling over one another until Lee pins down Nightsky.
"
What are you doing?" she hisses, and Nightsky glares back.
"He's right, shooting him is a mistake," the demon fox says, her voice stone cold. "You know that as well as I do, right?"
"The people voted him," Lee replies coolly, "And I'm not about to turn this democracy into a dictatorship. They said he'll die, so he'll die, whether it's a mistake or not." She headbutts Nightsky, making the demon shout out in surprise. Blood trickles down Lee's face, disappearing behind her glasses, but she ignores it as she quickly moves and grabs the gun, and aims it at Sprite once more. Before Nightsky or anyone else can react, she pulls the trigger, and there's a loud bang. Sprite cries out as he falls to the ground, blood seeping out of his stomach. His body is scrunched up and half-bent, the bellboy clutching his stomach while on his knees, but slowly slides forward so that he's scrawled on the ground. Even in his final moments, the bellboy's cap does not fall off the tip of his hair.
For a moment no one speaks. The only sound is Lee's heavy breathing and Nightsky's moaning as she holds her head. When the demon fox sits up, she finds herself staring down the barrel of Lee's pistol. Even with her sunglasses hiding her eyes, her snarl is still vicious, especially with the blood trickling down her face. "What were you doing?" she snarls. "You went completely against the authority of
me, your superior and partner, and tried to interfere in official FBI business! What in the world could compel you to do that!?"
"You know why," Nightsky growls, her eyes flashing red. "You'd have to be blind not to see this signs. That man is not Mafia.
He's part of the FBI, just like us." Everyone does a double-take as they look at the body, and Lee's head whiplashes in surprise. Not one to let such an opportunity slip, the fox takes advantage of her partner's momentary lapse of focus to slap the gun away and jump up. Her wings spread wide, taking up nearly six feet of space, and she hovers above everyone for a moment, her eyes narrowed as she looks down. Her form turns dark blue and wispy; only her violet-red eyes retain their color. "You're all fools. This was your last chance, and you killed the one person who could protect you." Without another word, she begins to fade away. The final thing to fade are her glowing red eyes, which seem to hang there, suspended in mid-air, before they, too, flicker away.
Sprite was the Undercover FBI Agent! Jackson's FBI contact, Sprite had been working undercover at the hotel while trying to gather intel on the Mafia. Every night, he could put his FBI training to use and defend one person from any attacks.
It is now the night phase.

At this point, we have three players remaining: one Mafia, one townie, and the Assassin. As such, up next will most likely be the epilogue. Send in your night actions, folks. Townie and Assassin, hope the Assassin gets the Mafia.
