Hey all. I decided to stick this fic that been in the works for a while up. Please note in this that Mario and Luigi are NOT related to each other in this and that Peach and Mario are NOT a 'couple.' With that out the way, I do not own The Mario series. This fic is one of the many M Files.

WARNING: THIS FIC IS A TAGGART-BASED MARIO FIC!!

The M Files- Mind Over Murder

A lone Koopa girl sat on a swing, genly rocking backwards and fowards in the slightly drizzling rain. She hummed a strange tune, shaking her blonde hair every time it became to soaked in moisture. She wore a pink short-sleeved shirt under her purple shell, white, short socks and white trainers stained with mud. Her green eyes darted everywhere, as if trying to discern a hidden person.

"I've got what you asked for." The Koopa spun around, to see a purple-shelled Koopa hiding in a swath of trees, his face hidden by the shadows of the spindley branches. The Koopa girl sauntered tartily over to him, a smug smile on her face, her breath coming in whisps of mist.

"Good, now where is it? This had better not be a trick." The Koopa shoved a gnarled hand into the pocket of the mini- trenchcoat he wore over his broad shoulders. A brown, ordinery package revealed itself in the dull moonlight. The male Koopa handed it over to the girl, who snatched it from his outstreched hand and flashed a triumphant smile.

"Thank you, your 'donation' is greatly appreciated. I'll keep your secret." She gave a wink, then turned and began to walk away.

"And I have something else for you as well." The male Koopa said flatly. The girl turned sharply, clearly impatient.

"What is it?" She snapped. The male Koopa slowly strolled up to the girl, those irratated expression became a one of horror as the Koopa placed his rough hands on either side of her head. His hands turned 180 degrees sharply, and the Koopa girl slumped to the wet ground, her neck broken. The male spat on her face, saying:

"Keep the change, slut." He wandered away, disappearing inot the sheets of light rain that contuinued to fall down. A few moments later, the sound of impish-like laughter echoed across the park...

(insert Taggart theme here.)

Yes I know that was short. It was suppsoed to be. The other chapters will be longer, OK?
