Chapter 2

And so, the Mario Investigation Team enters the castle and look for clues. They each went their own way to look around, but none of them had any luck in finding anything that looked important. That is, except for Bobbery.

"Everybody!" he spoke into his walkie-talkie. "Come to the upstairs bathroom on the left. I found something." After everyone arrived where Bobbery was, he revealed a crumpled letter that he had found in the bathroom shelf.

"This what the letter says. 'For the deaths at Rougeport," he read out loud. "The cab…' the rest is ripped off. We must go to Rougeport right away!" "Wait, hold on a minute," said Daisy. "Where's Koops?" Ten seconds later they hear panting, and Koops walks into the bathroom. "Sorry guys. I went into the wrong bathroom" he mumbled. Bobbery shows him the ripped letter and they go off to Rougeport using Peach's helicopter.

At Rougeport, everything seemed unnormal. Most of the shops were closed, and there was nobody on the streets except for a homeless goomba. No one suspected that the goomba was the murderer, so they let him go. Then they noticed that Mrs. Mouze's Badge Shop was the only place with lights on. "Let's all go there," Mario suggested.

They went to the Badge Shop and knocked on the door. No answer. They knocked again, but nobody replied back. "Just open the door!" Yoshi sighed, and he kicked the door open.

Nobody appeared to be in the room. "Anyone here?" called out DK. All the glass shelves were smashed, and badges were scattered all over the floor. There was a cabinet in the corner of the room but it wouldn't open. Luigi picked up an L Badge and decided to keep it for himself, but put 200 coins on the counter to pay for it. He looked over the counter and suddenly froze.

"What is it?" Daisy asked in a frightened voice. She looked over the counter and gasped. On the floor was a person, Mrs. Mowze, but there was two things wrong with her. The one thing was that her hands were stuck to a certain badge for some bizarre reason. The second thing was that there was a thin layer of ice that covered her whole body like a blanket, and both Daisy and Luigi knew that Mrs. Mowze did not seem to be moving at all. The first death had come to soon...

I hope you liked it! I'll make my next chapter soon.
