"This better work. I mean, it is your idea." a cloaked figure said. "And whats that supposed to mean? All we are going to do is find you a place to stay for a while." Mikoto explained to the figure. "We also need to find you a change into NORMAL clothes, Kuja." "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

Yesterday, there was 3 cases of people being murdered. One of those people happend to be Baku, the leader of the gang in Lindblum, also known as Tantalus(spelling plz). The other two people were both in Lindblum when they were killed. No other information is being given about the murders. In other news... "Zidane? Zidane, are you okay?" Dagger asked as a pale Zidane put down the Alexandrian Post. "Baku...Baku was killed..." "WHAT?! You can't be serious." says Dagger as she reaches over for the paper. "Hmm...oh my god..." "See?" Zidane is asking while he is trying to recover from the shock that Baku was...dead. "Who...who..."

"Lady Eiko, a messenger from Alexandria wishes to see you. Should I bring him in?" "Yes, please."
Vivi enters the room looking very down and depressed(can he do that?)"VIVI! What brings you here." Eiko starts asking, but is quickly cut off bye the sight of a newspaper in his hand. "Baku is dead. I need to know who else was killed so we can start the investigation." Vivi says like its not supposed to happen. "Um...you don't want to know." Eiko starts but bursts into tears a few seconds later. "What's wrong?" Vivi quickly asks. "The only (sob) parents (sob) I knew. WAAAAAAAA!!"

"Dammit! Who could of done this?" Asked Blank angrily. "I'm going out." Blank announced. "Hey Bro, wait!" Marcus yelled at Blank.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hello, Blank, Marcus, Eiko, and Vivi. So, any word on who might of done it?" Zidane asked the guests as they arrived to the castle. "So far, no evidence or anything that can even relate to the murders have been found." Vivi explained. 'Geez...Vivi's gotten smart' Marcus was thinking.

"I might be able to help."

A startled look comes from everyone in the room, but Zidane. "Well, the more the merrier." "ZIDANE! You can't be serious? I mean, it's Kuja!" Eiko screamed out. "What, is there a problem with that?" Asked Mikoto, who had come along with Kuja. "What's all the yelling abou..." Dagger stopped right as she spotted Kuja. "Oh, hi. You could of given us a warning or something." She wasn't suprised at all. "Well, lets get started. Zidane, you go with Kuja and Mikoto to go get Doctor Tot. Take the Gargan Roo." She explained. "Eiko and Vivi, find Amarant and go to Lindblum. I will go get Steiner, Quina, and Beatrix and go find Freya." She continued. "Ummm...what about us?" Asked Blank. "Go with Eiko, and see if you can find anyway the killer could have gotten to Cid and his wife. Now go." With that everyone scurried off to try to find something about the killer.
