FirePyre sighed… he just found Yami Riku dead, how, we wasn’t absolutely sure how, but he was sure it was bad, for both the town and his reputation. Sure, his reputation took a hit when all those anon murders happened. Which he didn’t do, and he didn’t do this either.

“Great… just great…” He mumbled to himself.

Matt then reentered the room, and looked at FirePyre, then at Yami, then back at FirePyre, then back at Yami.

FirePyre then realised that, even though there’s no evidence on him, that it looks like he killed Yami.

Matt grabs a sharp knife from the counter and lunges at FirePyre at it screaming “DAMN YOU FIREPYRE!”

“Wait, it’s not what i-”

But FirePyre was unable to finish, as the knife went through his skull and into his brain, killing him.

-- I called a staff meeting earlier today, as I needed to spread information to the higher ranked people in the Town.

Already there was myself, Addfire, Rex, Zed, Vert, and Uli. We all know that Octo is dead, but Mattbab, FirePyre and Yami did not come up.

I sighed, 3 missing staff members is something that we don’t need nor want.

“Well, I suppose I can tell you guys a bit of what I know right now.” I say to the 5 that are here.

Nothing but dead silence in the room. Great…

“The assassin that was hired against me was just a distraction” I say calmly, “Proof to back this up is the fact that the only time gunshots were heard was during the assassination attempt and no time else.”

“Right…” Addfire says, “so that’s at least something to go upon…”

Vert spoke “Listen, I get your trying to find information, but the information that we have is little, if not none…”

“Vert…” Rex said “We’re trying our best here, it’s not our fault that the killer is basically leaving us with nothing to go upon…”

“You're right, it’s just the stress and panic getting to me…”

“It’s getting to all of us…” Zed said “But we have to stay level headed if we want to sur-”

Suddenly, the doors busted open, Zed stood up and started grabbing his gun from out of his pocket when he just saw it was Desert and Ghosty.

“Uhh… what it is?” Addfire asked.

“Sondz has been… murdered!” Ghosty said.

The shock went into the room. Bad thoughts went into my head about Yami, Matt and FirePyre, could they be dead as well?

“We have to split into three teams.” I said.

“3?” Everyone asked at once.

I quickly explained to them that there was 3 jobs we needed to do, check the body, attempt to find the murderer, and find the others. Soon, eventually, everyone picked which group they wanted to be in, Rex, Zed and Addfire were checking the body, Uli, Desert and Vertoryer was checking the area for clues about the killer, and Ghosty and I were going to try to check for the others. We quickly went our different ways.

-- Rex, Zed and Addfire were running to where the body was, which was told from Desert that it was in Sondz’s and Spicy’s house.

It seemed that they were going at a good pace and about to get there soon, when suddenly Addfire tripped over and fell onto the ground.

“You okay?” Rex asked, slowing down to stop.

“I’m okay… you two go on ahead, I’ll catch up soon…” Addfire answer.

“Okay, suit yourself” Rex said as he went back to running.

The truth was that Addfire was not okay, she had sprained her ankle from the fall, but she didn’t want to slow the investigation down. She sighed as she stood up and hobbled after them. -- I quickly ran with Ghosty to Yami’s house, when we got there, we saw a sign on the door, it was a simple message “Not at home right now”.

“Well… what do we do now?” Ghosty asked.

“You check Matt’s house, I’ll check FirePyre’s house.” I say

We ran to their houses, nobody was there in either home.

“Great…. Where are they?” Ghosty asked again.

“I have an idea…” I half mumbled.

Suddenly, Ghosty noticed a shadow of a person walking away from between FirePyre’s house.

“Hey! Who’s there?” Ghosty yelled.

The shadow started running

“Damn it, come back here!” Ghosty said as he gave chase.

“Wai- ah screw it, I’ll check myself.” I said as I walked towards the direction of the bakery.

-- Zed and Rex, still running eventually made it to Sondz’s and Spicy’s house.

They found the dead Sondz on the ground.

“RIP” Zed simply said as he went to check the body

It was a mess, blood was on the floor, bleeding from the wound. Glass on the floor. It wasn’t pretty to look at, but they had a job to do.

“Boy… oh boy… this is going to be difficult to guess where the attacker shot from…” Rex said.

The sound of something dropping on the floor echoed through the room, Zed looked in the direction, and saw it was a flash grenade.

“QUICKLY! COVER YOUR E-” Zed yelled

The flash grenade exploded as a bright light filled the room. Zed felt something pierce into his ankle, and then he felt… sleepy.

“No…” Zed thought as he fell to sleep.

-- I made it into the bakery, the sign on the door saying “Sorry, we’re closed” and instantly two thoughts went into my head when I saw the dead bodies of Yami and FirePyre

“They’re both dead? No…” and shortly after “Why am I not surprised?”

I check the bodies, FirePyre’s death was more obvious, a bladed weapon into the head. Yami’s wasn’t as obvious, but I guessed it was poisoned, due to the fact there was no open wounds in the body and the coffee would be a great way to get poisoned. But it became obvious that the crime was tampered with. For one, the knife was in Yami’s hand, but it was upside down, so it wouldn’t fit the wound. The second is that the coffee was standing up at the other side of the room. The third was there was no blood on Yami.

I sighed as I kept checking the room for evidence. But something was ticking at the back of my mind, but I couldn’t guess what it was…

-- Addfire finally had hobbled over to Spicy’s and Sondz’s house, but when she looked inside, she instantly noticed something was wrong.

Zed, Rex and Sondz was nowhere to be seen.
