Before this chapter, there were two options on who the actual murderer was.
This is what really happened. It doesn't really tell you but you should be
able to figure it out. You'll eventually find out who did it. Just not
quite yet. Don't go skipping down to the bottom just to see who it was
because that won't work. ;) I made sure of that. Ne hoo, just read it and
leme know what ya think. This took me a while to come up with. .
Get a Clue: Chapter 10
Croquet walked into the nearby Library and sat down. He leaned back against the chair, trying to think. He was running out of options. Everyone had an alibi for the time period in which Pegasus was killed. There was nowhere else to go.
~Meanwhile~
Kaiba sighed as he leaned back against the ball room wall, "We should tell him. It's not like he can do anything to us."
Mai looked up from the magazine that was spread across her lap, "Who knows what he'll do. For all we know, he's a deranged maniac who wants everyone dead. He could turn on us."
"She has a point," Merik began, "But it would be two against one."
A rather confused Joey stood up from his chair and crosses his arms, "How do you figure? There are far more than two of us."
Merik smirked to himself and answered Joey's question, "As I recall, it was you who called Bakura and myself Psychotic during out last meeting at battle city."
Joey grinned, "Oh yeah."
Tea rolled her eyes. She didn't have as much of a part in this as almost everyone else. She had actually disagreed with it in the first place but she knew that they would get away with it if they didn't tell anyone and everyone kept their mouths shut.
Bakura stepped out of the corner and into the lighted part of the room, "Let's vote on it. If you think we should tell the man, say Yay. If not, say nay. Understood?"
Everyone nodded and stated their opinion. Everyone said Yay.
Bakura nodded and began barking orders, "Yugi, you're the most innocent looking. You go get Croquet, wherever he is, and bring him to the study. We'll be waiting for you."
Yugi nodded and rushed out of the room. Bakura continued his speech, "Alright, we need a plan. I will tell him briefly what happened. I guess we'll just wing it. So, add whatever you want whenever you want. It doesn't need to be as planned out as it originally was. Just be sure we get everything in." Kaiba nodded quickly and walked out the door followed immediately by Merik. The two of them wanted to grab a drink before heading off to the study.
Tea, Serenity, Tristin, Duke, and Joey all headed directly to the Study. Mai stayed behind to talk to Bakura.
"Why did we do it?" Mai asked, "We didn't have a real reason. He didn't need to die."
Bakura looked at the woman standing before him, "He was a danger to all of us. He needed to be gotten rid of. Now don't be falling apart now. You agreed to it. So shut up and come along."
Mai sighed and followed Bakura out of the Ball room. For some reason, she felt bad about having helped in the murder of Pegasus.
~Meanwhile~
Croquet put his head in his hands, trying to figure it out. Nothing made sense. No one could have done it. At least not alone. He didn't know what to think. He needed more information but no one was talking. Croquet sighed just as the door to the Library swung open.
"Croquet? Is that you? We need to talk to you in the study if you don't mind. It's rather important." Yugi said kindly.
Croquet looked up at the little boy, "How important could it possible be? More important that figuring out who murdered my boss? I doubt it. Give me a good reason why I should follow you."
Yugi looked a bit nervous. He didn't think he should give it away but he needed to get Croquet into the Study by any means necessary. "Bakura knows who did it. He needs to tell you but he didn't know where you were so he sent me to come get you."
Croquet looked a little unsure but he stood up and followed the little boy into the Study.
