Monday morning at 6:00 AM. The Operations Manager, Mr. Cruz, is found locked in the server room. He is dead, he has been tied up, and the main server—which controls the entire floor's internet—has been unplugged. A handwritten note was left on his desk. The note reads: "Those tickets which were assigned to me were all closed on me. That was the package which the customer has been waiting for. You didn't listen." Who is the killer?
Mark (The New Trainee): He was struggling with his KPIs all week. He was seen leaving the building at 10:00 PM on Sunday night.
Sarah (The Trainer Specialist): She spent the entire weekend creating the new "Who, Which, & That" grammar module. She has keys to the server room because she often sets up training software.
Jason (The Team Lead): He was angry because Mr. Cruz denied his vacation leave. He is known for writing very fast, messy emails with many run-on sentences.

Guess the title of the song and the singer:
I'm lying alone with my head on the phone
Thinking of you 'til it hurts
I know you're hurt too, but what else can we do?
Tormented and torn apart
I wish I could carry your smile in my heart
For times when my life seems so low
It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring
When today doesn't really know
Doesn't really know

Guess the title of the song and singer:
Sitting here wasted and wounded
With this old piano
Trying hard to capture
The moment this morning I don't know
'Cause a bottle of vodka
Still lodged in my head
And some blonde gave me nightmares
Think that she's still in my bed
As I dream about movies
They won't make of me when I'm dead
