"Merik, I assume you already know what I'm going to ask but I'll ask any
way," Croquet began, "Where have you been for the past hour?"
Merik looked at him with no expression on his face, "I was in the kitchen. And now your going to ask what I was doing. I was having a drink. And if you'll excuse me, I think I'll grab another. Interrogate me later."
Merik turned around but Mai stopped him, "don't even think about it sweetheart. Your staying here and getting questioned like the rest of us."
Croquet thought for a moment, "Was anyone near Merik at any time during the past hour? Can any one confirm that?"
Joey nodded, "I can. I went into the kitchen to get some food and he was there. I don't know if he was there the entire time. I was only there for fifteen minuets tops."
Croquet nodded, "To the kitchen!" He ran off down the hall, followed by everyone else.
"Merik, what were you drinking?" Croquet asked.
"The usual. Gin and Tonic. Why is that relevant?" Merik asked suspiciously.
"Because, Merik, I think you were drunk. You weren't thinking straight. You decided that you wanted to kill Yugi because he beet you at Battle City. You ran into my room to get the gun because you were the one who saw me store it there. You grabbed a pipe and broke the lock open. You then grabbed the gun and ran around, trying to find Yugi. You ran into the billiard room and saw Pegasus. You were too drunk to realize that he wasn't the one you wanted to kill so you shot him any way. Upon seeing that you had the wrong guy, you dropped the gun and ran back to the kitchen in order to sober up. Will you deny this?" Croquet said.
Merik tired not to laugh, "I could drink the entire bottle of gin and I would still be completely sober. I would not have needed a gun to kill Pegasus. He never fights back. And what would my motivation be? Almost everyone else has motivation to kill the guy. I should thank him. He's the one that created the Egyptian Gods."
Croquet sighed, "Well, I agree that you have no motivation but I still think you did it. It would be obvious if you used another method of killing Pegasus so you had to use the gun so it didn't seam so obvious."
Yugi spoke up, "Even though I also think Merik killed Pegasus, I think that reason it Crap. He probably used the gun because his millennium rod is missing."
"How do you know that!?" Merik asked loudly.
Yugi grinned, "You were being mellow and weren't attacking any one so the other day I looked for it and I couldn't find it. Then Shadi showed up and told me that you had misplaced it and he had gotten it back. You have to say please to get it back."
Merik looked pissed. He hated being made fun of. He looked at Croquet, "Sadly, he's right about my having misplaced my millennium item but that didn't mean I did it. I still say I had no motive."
Croquet looked around at the remaining suspects, "Well, if Merik didn't do it. will someone tell me who did??"
Everyone looked around.
"Well," Kaiba began, "Wheeler hasn't been questioned. Looks to me like he's been hiding with his tail between his legs this entire time."
"Watch your mouth Kaiba." Joey said looking a bit angry, "Go ahead and question me. I got notin' to hide."
Merik looked at him with no expression on his face, "I was in the kitchen. And now your going to ask what I was doing. I was having a drink. And if you'll excuse me, I think I'll grab another. Interrogate me later."
