Chapter 4: A Secret Kept
Mario ran off toward the castle only to be caught my Luigi's long arm.
"Something wrong, Mario?" said Luigi in a sarcastic, questioning tone.
"UlpNo, I just have tohave topee. That's it! I had to pee." Said Mario nervously.
"Who was your father?" asked Luigi suspiciously.
"My mother never told me, but she said I inherited his hair and height." Said the princess. "She said he was famous throughout Mushroom Kingdom. He used to be a plumber. I don't know anything about this area, so I have no clue who he is."
"Dear brother, please come this way now!" said Mario dragging Luigi away by the strap of his overalls.
Mario and Luigi darted around a corner.
"What the hell was up with that?!?" asked Luigi in a whispered yell. "Waaaaiiiiit a sec. You know her, don't you?"
Mario just nodded solemnly.
"Hmmmfamous plumber in Mushroom Kingdomweeelll, it is either me or you and I know I sure as hell didn't get it on with the damn princess. Sooomust be you!"
"Look, Bowser had just made a threat to kill her and I was told to stand guard in her room. We started talking, and, well, it sort ofyou get the idea." Said Mario shamefully.
"HOW THE HELL DID YOU END UP "'GETTING JIGGY WITH IT!'" yelled Luigi, "I meanthe princess was hot, but come on now!"
"Lay off Luigi!" yelled Mario, shoved Luigi out of the way, and went back to the front of the castle.
"I have a confession to make" started Mario nervously, "II know your father really welllike we were the same person"
"Oh, where is he, where is he?!?" squealed the excited girl.
"Hehe's me." Said Mario and ran his hand through his hair. "Mario is your father, and me is Mario, I mean, Mario is me, uhhI am Mario."
The princess just stared and tried to speak, but nothing came out.
"Why didn't she tell you?" asked Mario curiously.
"She said I would be safer."
"WellI guess this would be your uncle, Luigi." Said Mario pointing to his brother, "and this would be your grandfather." Mario pointed at the King who was still pretty speechless about the whole thing. "Your other uncle is inside." Mario said.
The newly discovered family went inside. They headed towards Prince Toadstool's room. They knocked on his door and he opened it.
"Hi gu- holy shit! Who is that babe?!?" asked the prince loudly.
"This is: the king's granddaughter, Mario and Peach's daughter, my niece, and your niece as well."
The prince scooted back to his desk to continue his letter, quite embarrassed. They all came in and sat down. Mario and Luigi on the foot of the bed, Jennifer on a big chair, and the King sat on a stool.
"It's okay what you said," said the princess smiling, "I am pretty hot, what can I say."
"The killer of your mother is at large and we need to find him," said Mario, "If you know anyone who had something against her, we need to know."
"Did you consider Bowser?" inquired Princess Jennifer.
"No, not his style. He kidnaps, not slaughters and rapes," replied Luigi.
"RAPED!! No one said she was raped, that is awful!" raged Princess Jen.
Just then, a mushroom officer ran in and exclaimed, "Everyone come quick, Detective Porcini was found outside the station, hacked and slashed, but still alive."
Everyone ran out and got in a coach. When they got to the station, there was a medical team examining him.
"He probably won't make it through the night," said one of the mushroom doctors.
"I want all the staff you can spare keeping him alive," said Luigi.
"Yes sir," said the doctor and they carted the battered detective away to the hospital.
