We all hopped in the go-kart and Vanellope glitched out of the street and the chase was on.

"COULD SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHAT IS HAPPENING?" I screamed.

"YES!" Calhoun replied "Felix and I were looking for Ralph to find out about what was going on. Like I said, Ralph escaped probably thinking that we killed Richard"

"Unfortunately, you had a similar idea and we now have lost Ralph" Felix continued.

I face palmed "This doesn't explain why Thomas killed Mr. Empura!"

"I don't know why Thomas killed him, but I saw something involving Thomas that was very peculiar"

"What is that Vanellope?" I asked.

"First of all, I am one of the racers in the game Sugar Rush. Originally, I was not one of the racers. The audition judges completely banned me from trying out due to my Pixlexia. Wreck-It Ralph saw me crying outside of the studio and was able to convince the judges to let me try out and I got a leading role"

"That still doesn't ex...AUGH!" I screamed as we swerved around a car "explain the peculiar actions of Thomas"

"I'm getting there. After a day of work, I was told by the producer to retrieve King Candy. I entered his dressing room and it was empty of people. I left the room and hid behind a trolley so I could scare prank him, but Thomas entered the dressing room. I stayed where I was and saw King Candy leave the same room"

"What's unusual about that?" Felix asked.

"After I told him that the producer wanted him, I entered the room and saw that no one else was there. King Candy's dressing room has no windows or other secret entrances what so ever!"

"So you're saying that Thomas is actually a game character in disguise? How does that work?" I asked

"King Candy may have messed with his own programming to change his appearance" Calhoun hypothesized.

"But what would King Candy gain from killing Richard? Sugar Rush has a different director!" Felix pondered.

We left Game Centeral Station. Suddenly a puddle of Goo poured in front of our car. Felix, Calhoun, and I bailed, but Vanellope just drove away.

I landed badly on my arm and broke it. Felix crawled over towards me and fixed it with his hammer. I got up with a pistol to my head. Thomas was pointing it.

"Put all three of them in the van, we'll get Vanellope later"

Ty, Ryan, and Thomas picked us up and put us in their van. It had a new door on the back due to Ralph ripping of the original one.

-[+]-

We left the van at gunpoint and entered the warehouse where Richard was found dead. We were ordered to kneel down on the floor and we were then handcuffed. I hoped that either Ralph or Vanellope would soon come.

"So Martin," Thomas taunted "you have probably wondered about how this murder was executed"

"Not really" I replied.

Thomas shrugged and continued "It was all very simple. Ralph obviously killed Richard"

Thomas turned to me for a reply but I said nothing.

"His fingerprints, not to mention handprints, were on the gun that killed Richard. I originally thought that Ralph acted alone, yet I never suspected that Ralph's best friend and his best friend's wife put him up to it!"

"You liar!" Felix shouted as he tried to stand up, but Ty (or Ryan, I'm not sure which) pointed his gun at Felix.

"Oh really, what about those threat letters you received from Ralph? He probably wanted to make sure you stayed quiet"

I remembered the letter that Calhoun gave me that was supposedly written by Ralph.

"I believe that Felix showed his letter to Mr. Empura, but that would not hide Felix's guilt" Thomas chuckled "I hate to imagine what Ralph may be doing to Vanellope after his friends drove him mad. It's a good thing that I have the letter from Mr. Empura. Sadly, he will not be able to testify after Sgt. Calhoun shot him"

Calhoun was about to stand up, but Ryan (or Ty) aimed his gun.

Thomas smiled "Thank goodness this letter came into my possession, there is no way that something could invalidate it"

"What about Ralph's suicide note?" I asked. Everyone looked at me, and I smiled. "I had Ralph with me for quite a while and he showed me a suicide note that he wrote. He didn't kill himself because he heard that Richard was dead and realized that he would be blamed"

Thomas's brow furrowed. "Where is this suicide letter?"

"I gave it to my friend, Paula, to keep it safe. Now, who ever killed Richard wanted Ralph to kill himself. Due to the murderer wanting to shift the blame and to make the case..."

I paused for a breath as Thomas's blood boiled.

"Easy to solve" I finished "However, Ralph didn't kill himself so the murderer manufactured evidence to incorporate Felix and Calhoun into the case so he could use the game rights that he acquired for his own purposes"

Thomas's was getting angrier, but he suddenly regained his composure.

"So you think that the murderer was going to expand Sugar Rush after the case was closed?" Thomas asked "Well... you would be wrong"

Suddenly a car crashed through a garage door behind us with Vanellope at the wheel and Ralph next to him. Ty and Ryan ran away to acquire something and Thomas just stared. Vanellope glitched onto Thomas and started punching him.

"YOU MISCHEVIOUS MONARCH YOU!" She yelled as she altercated.

During the punching Thomas's form changed. First Thomas, then King Candy, and then a character that I thought was dead.
