I wanted to believe everything would be alright. Unfortunately, the troubles got worse. It was the day after the Hermitage had fallen. Sissi was with Yumi, Diana and Aelita.

(Odd is going through the mail while listening to radio)

Tiana(voice): Breaking news. It seems as if all police officers in Paris, all 120 of them, are gone. They have all been kidnapped, murdered, or otherwise destroyed, likely by Lily and her forces. With Paris now vulnerable and more full of crime then ever, it is advised that people stay in their homes and avoid contact with the outside world. In related news, Lily has taken... (the radio stops working)

Odd(sarcastically): Oh great. Could this could any worse? (he opens an envelope and reads the paper inside it, then gasps) I spoke way too soon. (Xavier and Xever break the window) I rest my case.

Xavier: Sissi's gotta be hiding around here somewhere! Find her! (Xever runs up the steps, only for Odd to throw a book at his head)

Odd: What are you punks even doing here, anyway?

Xever: Didn't you know, the Parisian Police have been taken out! While the cats away, the mice will play... Play a game of death!

Odd: Oh dear... (Xavier fires a gun at him, Odd cartwheels, dodging seven bullets, he starts running away)

Xavier: Oh no you don't! (he pursues Odd)

I ran throughout the house, trying to avoid being hit with bullets. I didn't have a gun, or a pocketknife like Sissi did. Wait a second, the kitchen! The kitchen has a lot of knifes! I just had to figure out how to get there!

(Odd finds himself in the basement, he sees he is cornered, Xavier finds him, he forms an X shape with his arms over his chest, Xavier fires but nothing happens)

Xavier: Curses! Out of bullets! (his phone vibrates, he answers it) Now what? (Odd slips away, Xavier is heard off-screen) What do you mean she's not here?!

I ran to the kitchen, looking for knifes, only to find a very big mess of pots, pans and other items.

(Odd finds a wooden spoon, a knife, a fork and a big pot, Xavier and Xever find him)

Xavier: I'm out of bullets.

Xever: I'm not. You're dead meat, Odd! Literally. (he fires a bullet at Odd, he dodges, and hits a blender, Odd kicks the glass away towards Xavier, cutting his jeans, he throws a fork at Xever, hitting him in the shoulder) OW! (he pulls out the fork and throws it to ground while Odd throws a pot lid at Xavier's head, knocking him unconscious, then gets shot with a bullet in the arm)

Odd: Ahh! (he continues to scream in pain, Xever laughs)

Xever: You're doomed Odd! (he fires a bullet, which he narrowly avoids, and throws a pot at his head, blinding him, then beats him with two wooden spoons) Ow! Uncle! Uncle, I surrender! (Odd bangs a metal spoon on the pot, knocking him out)

I quickly removed the bullet from my arm and bandaged myself up. I then tied up the two trouble-making twins, and was about to call the cops, but I remembered what I heard earlier.

Tiana(voice): It seems as if all of the police officers in Paris, all 120 of them, are gone.

With no police officers left, there was no use calling the authorities. I would have kept them as prisoners of war in my house, but it was too risky for Sissi's well being if they escaped confinement. My house was no prison for bad guys. I had to figure out a humane way to execute them. With Paris police-free, the crime rate was going to increase. I didn't want to kill them, but I had no choice. Let's see, methods of execution... I wanted to save Xever's gun for later, so death by gunshot was out. Burning would create too much of a mess and was too cruel. Guillotine was out. I didn't have enough medicine in the house to kill them via drug overdose. Choking them to death would take too long. It seemed like the only choice was for me to stab them to death. A cruel death, but it had to be done.

(Xavier and Xever wake up, but Odd quickly knocks them back out with a frying pan)

After murdering the two, I took their possessions, including Xever's gun.

Odd: Now for the real questions; one, how am I doing to dispose of their bodies, and two, how am I going to clean up this mess before Sissi gets back? (Xavier's phone rings, Odd looks at the caller ID reading "The Boss")

I quickly cremated Xavier and Xever in the front yard (thank goodness no one saw it), then got to work on cleaning the house.

(Odd mops up the blood on the floor, his phone rings, he answers it)

Odd: Hello?

Jeremie(on phone): Odd, I need your help. Lily's hired an assassin to come after me. I'm not sure I can handle things on my own.

Odd: I'll be right over. (he starts running out of the house)

This wasn't good. I just hoped my other friends weren't in danger.
