A/N: Well, here's Part 2. Thanks to my friends for proofreading for me, and my two darling soulsisters for....being there. This part turned out a lot shorter than I had orignally planned, but I don't really want to change anything about it now.
Weeks had passed since the death of Asparagus, and life in the Junkyard was beginning to return to normal. Jellylorum and her kittens were still grieving, but they had allowed themselves a smile or two lately. The cause of death was, by all appearances, being crushed by a freak falling junkpile. Most chose to believe this explanation, even some of those who had heard both sets of screams. However, not everyone was convinced.
Mistoffelees was at the site of Asparagus' death, searching in vain for clues. He had tried this before, and never found anything, even with his magic. But he was firmly convinced that there was a murderer loose in the Junkyard.
The young tuxedo tom had taken the elder's death very much to heart. After all, Asparagus was Victoria's father; Viccy and Misto had been best friends since long before either of them could clearly remember. If only he had a clue.....anything at all to lead him to a suspect....
Something on the ground caught his eye. Leaning closer, he saw it was a rhinestone from a collar. There was blood spattered around it. Now who had he seen missing a rhinestone....
Misto's eyes widened, and he opned his mouth to yell...
He was found with his neck snapped in half by a metal bar, which lay on the ground nearby, free of pawprints. The rhinestone was gone.
