Chapter 3: Who, In What Room,
and With What Weapon.

Kotori looked around the dining room trying to find the knife, while Ran looked under the table. There were plenty of knives on the table, but none of them were sharp enough to stab somebody to death. So they dismissed them. After half an hour of searching, they decided that there was no weapon in this room. There were only six weapons in clue, and there were nine rooms in this house. So they left the room and made their way to the kitchen.

As they walked down the hall Kotori looked at Ran with great passion. "I'm so glad that we are together, I realize that you do not yet love me. And I'm probably just flattered that you cared about me. This isn't really love, but I would like to one day be in love with you. After I've gotten to know you better."

"Yeah," Ran said.

Nagi sat in the conservatory, looking around at the assorted plants. He could hear an intimidating drip coming from one of the far corners. He decided that it would be wise to investigate. He walked over to see what was causing this dripping sound.

A led pipe hung from one of the walls. Nagi pulled on it to see if it was really attached. It came of with extreme ease. He held it in his hands, "is this one of the weapons?" he asked himself. He quickly left the room to find Schu and Brad.

Brad stood by himself. "Where's Schu?" Nagi asked.

"He went over there to see who the man was who came out of the kitchen."

"Oh. Well I need to ask you a question," Nagi said, "Do you know if the led pipe is a weapon of Clue? Because if it is, then I just found it."

"Yeah, it is. I'll go tell Schu," Brad said.

Schu quickly rounded the corner to see who the plump man was. He let out an annoyed sigh as he saw Mr. Green running down the hallway. "Why does this always happen to me. I'm gonna kill this guy. He's just a damned nuisance. Oy."

"I wouldn't kill him if I were you Schu," Brad said dramatically putting his hand on Schu's shoulder. "We don't want to anger the boss, remember what happened last time we did that?"

***Flashback***

"WHY? WHY DID YOU HAVE TO LET MY LITTLE OUKA DIE?!" Takatori said, hitting Schu with a golf club.

***Flash forward***

"Good point," said Schu, "We had better just bind and gag him."

"Yeah, that sounds good," Brad said.

The two of them walked silently behind Mr. Green with their arms extended ready to grab him. Brad stepped on a creaky floorboard. Mr. Green quickly turned around to see the both of them standing, frozen. "What the hell are you two doing?" he asked. Schu quickly moved behind Mr. Green, as though he could disappear and reappear instantaneously.

Mr. Green quickly turned around to see Schu. Brad jumped at the chance to grab Mr. Green and took him to the ground. He attempted to scream, but could not. He had already had a sock put into his mouth.

"Okay, well. what do ya wanna do now?" Brad asked.

"You think we should leave him?" Schu asked with a smile on his face.

"VWEEB VWE!?" screamed Mr. Green through his sock.

"Yes, you fat slob, leave you." Schu said as maliciously as possible.

"Sounds good to me," Brad said with a huge grin upon his face. The two of them walked away leaving the distraught Mr. Green lying on the ground. He began to scream through his sock, but it was not loud enough to cause any attention.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot, we have another weapon. You'd better tell Aya, I believe he's looking for them right now," Brad said. "I want to get this over with as soon as possible, that way we can all go home and get into bed.to sleep."

Kotori and Ran stood in the kitchen going through drawers, looking for the knife they knew that this would be the ideal place to find it. there was silverware all over the floor, along with pulled out drawers and other assorted cooking supplies. There was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Quickly the two of them went into a corner. The footsteps died away. The two of them got back up and began to search again.

They had gone through every last drawer when they finally decided to take a break. Both of them walked to the cutting board and slid down the side as the sat down on the floor. Ran looked over to Kotori, she was very peaceful looking as she slowly fell asleep. He ran his fingers through her hair. "You've gotta learn to stay awake," he quietly said, so she wouldn't be disturbed. The footsteps came again. Ran woke up Kotori and told her to go to the corner. He looked around on the cutting board. He found a knife and picked it up. It was large enough to stab so he held it out ready to throw it at the first person to come in to the kitchen.

He looked down at the knife. How could he have been so stupid? It was right there in the middle of the room the entire time. He chuckled as the door opened. "Oh my goodness, I can't believe I did that."

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?" a voice came. "AND WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE?"

"Who is he? I believe the question is, who are we?" Schu said behind the man. "We are Schweiss, no, wait, Wierz. No, that doesn't work either. Schwarweiz? Hmmmm. I wonder." Schu stood there contemplating the name of the assassin group. Here, how about we just stick with Schwarz. We are Schwarz. Okay?"

"Why don't you just shut up Schu," Ken said, coming out of the trap door. "It's easier that way. Plus I don't think you're getting anywhere trying to figure out our name without even killing any body yet as whatever the hell our new name is."

The man stood there confused, he had no idea as to how all of these people made it into their house. And they all stood arguing around him. He began to walk out of the door very quietly. Schu grabbed his shoulder and threw him to the ground. "Stay there. Ken you're being stupid. Why don't you just knock it off. We are still Schwarz."

"I would have to agree," another voice dramatically came, "besides it's not like you know anything Ken."

"SHUT UP AND LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Ran screamed.

Kotori looked up at the extreme anger in Ran's face. He was seriously offended for Ken, almost as if he deeply cared for him. The man on the ground began to crawl to the corner on the opposite wall when he saw it was already occupied. He then turned around. In the middle of his turn, he was picked up.

"Who are you," Brad asked. "and where are the other people of this mansion."

"I am Milton and you are in my house, so the question is: Who are you?" Milton said defiantly.

"Schwarz." Schu said.

"Weiss." Ran said.

"It's Schwarz."

"No, It's Weiss."

"Schwarz!"

"Weiss!"

"SCHWARZ!!!"

"WEISS!!!"

"Both of you, knock it off," Nagi said from the doorway.

Brad rounded on Nagi knocking Milton back to the floor. He hit his head on the cutting board on the way down and was knocked out.

"Look, fine we'll be Schwarz for right now, then we can figure out what we are when we get home, okay?" Ken said trying to ease the situation.

"Fine," Ran said. "oh, I almost forgot, I have four of the weapons of Clue,"

"Five," Nagi said tossing the led pipe to the feet of Ran, "all we need now is?"

"The revolver," Ran said.

"It's not in the library, I already checked," said Brad. "or in the billiard room."

"The only place it can be is the ballroom. You guys take care of this guy and then I will go to the ballroom." Ran said walking out of the room. Kotori got up and followed.

"You really care for Ken, don't you?" Kotori asked.

"Yeah," Ran said thinking about it.

They entered the ballroom, and then proceeded to search the cabinet on the wall. Inside the cabinet there was various champagne and wineglasses and a few assorted beverages. But there was no revolver in sight. In twenty minutes time they had found nothing. So they got out the wine and had a few drinks. They sat talking at one of the couches.

"I really do love you Ran."

"I love you too Ken, er I mean Kotori."

"Hehe, you called me Ken."

The door flung open and in ran Milton followed by Nagi and Schu. Milton dove behind the piano. He began to shake with fear. Nagi stuck his hand out and moved the piano into the wall. Milton sat paralyzed with fear. Schu began to laugh at Milton as he sat there quivering on the ground.

Brad entered the room. He stared at Milton with great hatred. "My, my, what have we got here." He said in a cold voice, "It appears that you have no where to go."

Ken stood in the passageway talking to Ms. Scarlet. She seemed very interested in what Ken had to say. She could not understand why, but she seemed to feel as though she knew him. It was as though something had brought them together before.

"So, you like motorcycles?" Ken asked.

"I love motorcycles, I used to live in Australia, I rode my motorcycle all over the place," she said with great enthusiasm. "Hey, do you have any thing to drink?"

"Yeah," he said tossing her a water bottle. "here you go."

She took the bottle held it above her head, and squirted the water into her mouth.

***flashback***

"This stuff is killing you!" Ken yelled. But it had no effect, Yuriko took the bottle held it above her head, and squirted the drink into her mouth. Ken slapped the bottle of Freude to the ground.

***flash forward***

"OH MY GOD." Ken said with a look of shock. "Yu-Yu-Yuriko?"

"Yes?" she said, "wait, how did you know my name?. Oh my god."

A gunshot could be heard from the above room.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I GOT IT! I DID IT! AND YOU CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT!" Mr. Green said, "WELL I'LL TELL YA! IT WAS MR. GREEN, IN THE BALLROOM, WITH THE REVOLVER! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

"Oh. my god." Brad fell to the ground.

"BRAAAAAAAAAD!" Schu screamed, "BRAD! IT'S OK! DON'T DIE!"

Kotori ran over to Brad's partially limp body. "Call an ambulance!" she screamed.

"The Phone lines are all dead." Schu said.

She ripped off part of her dress and placed the cloth on his wound. It quickly was soaked with Brad's blood. She ripped off more, and placed it on top of the previous cloth. Once again it filled with blood, so she ripped off more. She had almost no skirt left before she decided that she needed something little more porous. She grabbed Ran's trench coat and folded it so it was very thick. It seemed to be soaking in the blood.

Schu sat next to Brad trying to keep him from dying, although his screams weren't working very much. He looked up at the smiling Mr. Green, "I'll kill you," he said with great hatred, "DAMN YOU!!!"

"Please, I can kill as much as I want. I'm the murderer! I'm the one that every body wants! Nobody kills me! I'm invincible!"

"YOU'RE A GOD DAMN SON OF A BITCH! THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE! AND SOON YOU'RE GONNA BE A DEAD SON OF A BITCH YOU LITTLE PIECE OF SHIT!" Schu ran at Mr. Green. Mr. Green raised his gun and pointed it at the chest of Schu. He fired the gun. Schu was no longer standing. He sat on top of Mr. Green choking him to death. He violently flung Mr. Green's head back and forth with his tight grip around his neck. "You will die!"

Mr. Green tried to loosen Schu's grip. But the grip was forced with extreme hatred. There was nothing that Mr. Green could have done to stop his death. Schu was concentrated solely on killing Mr. Green and avenging Brad.

Brad limply lied on the ground with his blood slowly being drained from his body. Kotori sat applying and reapplying cloth to soak up the blood in a desperate attempt to save him. Nagi stood back in a corner trying to think of what to do. He then walked over to Kotori and brushed her aside. "I'm a nurse! I know what I'm doing!" she screamed.

"It's okay, he'll live," Nagi said reassuringly although he wasn't truly sure. He put his hand above Brad's chest and began to move his fingers slowly together. "His wound is mostly closed, that should slow the bleeding."

"Thank you," Kotori said, "That will help the process, but I'm afraid he has already lost a lot of blood." She continued to reapply the cloth although she could now do it less due to the lack of blood coming from his body. Whether it was because it wasn't needed, or because he didn't have enough to bleed so much any more, she could not be sure.

Schu got up from the limp body of Mr. Green, and ran over to Brad, "Please Brad, don't die." A tear fell down Schu's face and onto Brad's cheek as he looked down at his peaceful face. He pulled Brad's glasses off of his face and closed them up and gently laid them on the ground.

Brad slowly opened is eyes, and looked over at Schu with a smile. "Don't worry Schu, you'll do all right without me. I know you will."

"What do you mean? Without you?" tears began to flow more rapidly from Schu's eyes. "Have you.seen it?"

"Yes, Schu, I will die. But Schwarz will go on without me. And they will do just fine. I promise," Brad said. "Just do me a favor."

"ANYTHING!" Schu exclaimed.

"Do not grieve. To grieve is to regret things undone. You have done every thing that you can." Brad looked up at the ceiling. "It is only a matter of time now."

Nagi walked back and forth in the room biting his nails, these were Brad's final hours, what could he do? He walked out of the room and went to the kitchen. Inside he found a toaster and a coffee maker. He began to brew Brad's favorite flavor. Then found some bread to make toast. He went down to the passageway and informed Ken and Farfie of the situation. They all walked back to the ballroom with coffee and toast at hand.

"Here you go Brad," Nagi said, "I made your favorite flavor, can you smell it?"

"Yes, yes I can Nagi, thank you." Brad's breaths became more spaced and wheezy. "Guys, I want to tell you all something." The group walked over and listened to what Brad had to say. "Never in my entire life have I served with such great individuals as yourselves. From the time of Takatori, to Eszett; I have had my finest years shared with you." he looked over at Nagi, "Nagi, I want you to have my Coffee mug, you know the one that says, '#1 assassin' on it? Farfarello, my dear friend, I want you to have my toaster." Brad took a deep breath. It was very shallow though, almost as if it took most of his strength to get the air in. "Ken, my protégé, you have done well. Hopefully you will one day become as good of an assassin as I was. You may have my glasses, and my slippers. Ran, although we were at first enemies, it is good to know that one day we finally got to work together, side by side." His eyes had a glazed appearance about them as they rolled over to Schu, "Schu, my dear friend Schu," he sighed as he looked into Schu's eyes. "I will miss you most of all Schu. Because I. I . Schu, I . I lov.love."

Brad's eyes closed as he went to sleep for the final time. Tears ran down the faces of all that were there. As they watched their dear friend Brad lie peacefully on the ground. Nagi stood up and wiped the tears from his eyes. Farf and Ken walked away arms around each other. But Schu sat there cradling Brad in his arms. Kotori looked over from the couch to see that Brad was not breathing.

Kotori jumped out of her seat and ran towards Brad. She pushed Schu out of the way and pinched Brad's nose. She gently put her lips to Brad's and exhaled into Brad's lungs. Nothing happened, avoiding the wound in his upper chest, she pushed up and down where the breastbone ended. She then pinched his nose again and blew into his lungs. Once again, nothing happened she repeated this for fifteen minutes.

Brad began to cough and blood came out of his mouth he tried to sit up but could not. He sat there with his eyes open staring blankly at the ceiling. He was breathing heavily. Kotori pulled off one of her stockings, she wrapped it around Brad's chest as a makeshift bandage.

"Try not to move too much. Okay?" she said. "You're going to be all right. Don't you worry."

"Thanks," Brad said, "so I guess this means I can keep my toaster eh?"

Schu sat in shock, next to Brad. He began to cry, "Oh my god Brad, I thought I had lost you. Damn it Brad! Don't do that to me! Ever! You hear me?"

Brad smiled at Schu, "I hear ya buddy, that's a big ten four, don't worry," Schu ran up and hugged him. "Ow, ow, ow, Schu. Schu. Schu! too tight Schu, too tight! My wound! My wound!" Schu eased up a little but it did not stop him from squeezing Brad. Nagi turned around to see Brad was breathing, but just barely, due to Schu's firm grasp. He ran over and got down on his knees.

"Brad. You're alive! I thought we'd lost you!" Nagi said, tears of joy filling his eyes.

"I thought I was going to die," Brad said.

"You did die," Kotori said, "I revived you. I didn't want to have somebody die if I could do something about it. So I gave you mouth to mouth."

"Dang, I wish I had been awake" Brad said with a smile. Kotori arched an eyebrow at him. "I'm only kidding, I'm only kidding."

The door on the opposite side of the room closed. Ran looked up to see what had caused it. Looking around the room he discovered that there was not a single sign of Milton. He got to his feet and ran out.

A door opened up allowing moonlight to enter the hallway. Ran smiled and realized that there was no way he could escape now. He ran to the room and flung the door open. The moon shined down it's light into the conservatory. But as he looked around he noticed that Milton was not in here either. Ran stood in the room confused as to how he could see the door open and then have the man not be in there. He had lost him.

Farf and Ken sat in the kitchen crying over the loss of their dear friend and mentor Brad. Farf stood up and listened to the air. "I know that sound, that's Brad slurping! That damn yuppie is alive!"

Ken and Farf ran back into the room. Schu sat talking to Brad who seemed to be much healthier. Nagi sat at the piano playing 'Mozart's Symphony No. 40' which sounded astounding with the great acoustics of the ballroom. Kotori sat next to Nagi listening happily. Ken looked around and noticed that there was no sign of Ran or Milton.

"Where is Milton?" asked Ken.

"He ran off so Aya tried to catch him." Schu said.

"Well if we all split up we could catch them within the hour, it's 2:30, I want to go home." Ken said tiredly.

"Well we only have five people," said Nagi from the piano, "we can't put Brad through any more than he's already gone through."

"Well that's okay, because we only started out with five people. We know that they aren't in the kitchen, or in the ball room."

"Or the conservatory," Ran said entering the room. "Well that means that if each of us goes into a room, (one of us will have to go into two rooms) all of us except one should find one of the people at least."

"Ken's right. Good job Ken-kun, we should do that." Ran said giving Ken a look of admiration. "Let's go. Kotori, you stay with Brad, he might need you. Brad, if somebody enters the room, here is the revolver, the wrench, the candlestick, the led pipe and the rope. I'm keeping the knife."

Ken walked into the billiard room. He saw no one in there and assumed he was the man who wouldn't find any body, but in case one of the men came into the room, he decided to stay. He looked around the room. There was a small china cabinet. And in the middle of the room stood a pool table. Ken got out a cue and began to shoot around a few balls. He hoped it would keep him busy.

Ran walked around the library stepping over the books that had been previously pulled out by Brad. He could see nobody in the darkness, nor could he hear him or her. He felt around for the light switch as he walked along he could feel the books on the ground. One of them felt exceptionally tattered.

He found the switch and turned on the light. He looked around the room and saw that there was nobody in the room except for him and the hundreds of books scattered on the floor. He looked down at the old tattered book he had felt earlier. It was brown and had some writing that he couldn't really make out on it. but he assumed that he would think about it later. The owners of the mansion would be dead by the end of the night, so he decided to pocket the book.

He looked around the room for any other books like the one he had just found. Most of them were at most two years old and only had slight corner damage if any damage at all. He sat at the chair waiting for somebody to enter the room. It was possible for him to be the one person who wouldn't get anybody, but he didn't want to take his chances. And even if one person didn't get any body. There was the possibility that the people were altogether.

Farfarello stood in the entry hall. Nobody was there, so he began to look around. There was absolutely nothing of interest so he decided to leave and look in another room.

The hallway was as dark as it had been before. As he came upon the study. He opened the door and looked inside. There was no one inside. He walked around to see if there was anything else that might be fun to play with. But he found nothing. So he sat down and went to sleep.

Schu stood in the lounge waiting, he knew that somebody was going to come into the room, because from what he had gathered there was no body in the study, the billiard room, nor in the entry hall. So he sat at the couch waiting. He could hear footsteps. He sat up and listened with all he could. The footsteps died away. He slouched back down into the chair.

Schu sat up again. "I know!" he said gleefully, "this is going to be great." A large grin spread across his face.

Milton walked along the corridor. "I can see you." came a voice; "I'm right behind you." Milton quickly turned around. No body was there. He took the time to catch his breath. "peekaboo!" the voice came again. "I'm right here! Can't you see me! BOOGALA, BOOGALA! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

Milton was becoming very nervous, where was the voice coming from? He decided it would be best to go back to the conservatory, he could at least see the light from there. Then he stopped, what if the man was still waiting for him? He didn't want to have to deal with him. But what if the voice was coming from the lounge? That was where he wanted to go. But he didn't know if he wanted to risk it. his thoughts were very clear. He wanted to go back to the conservatory. "I don't care, I'm not going the whole way, I can't risk it," he told himself.

"Oh really?" the voice came again, "I think you should risk it. You should go to the other side of the hallway your in."

"No, I don't want to go to the lounge, it might not be safe." He told the voice, "I'm going back to the conservatory."

Schu smiled, "Guys," he said, "Milton is going to the conservatory. Cut him off." A look of satisfaction was on Schu as he sat and thought for a moment, he began to realize the tunnel to the conservatory, was also the tunnel to the lounge, and from the looks of it, he was standing right in the lounge. He began to feel around the floor for some sort of door handle. He looked at the wall, some of the carpet was coming up. He began to pull on the carpet. It came up with great ease.

Schu stood happily atop a trap door. He got off and pulled the door up. As he looked at the stairs that led to the passageway he began to realize that there was no light at all, and that he had to trust his instincts to get this job done.

He began to walk down the stairs and could hear other footsteps in the distance. He began to run down the corridor in order to catch up with Milton. He finally reached him. But he did not anticipate what Milton did next.

Milton heard the sound of Schu's footsteps and quickly turned around and punched Schu in the gut, Schu fell to the ground struggling to breath. Milton walked into the conservatory. Schu tried to get to him, but could not stand. The sound of Milton screaming could be heard through the trap door.

"PLEASE! I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" Milton said begging Nagi not to kill him. He sat pulling on Nagi's pants, groveling at Nagi's feet.

"What about the people who were forced to play rock 'em sock 'em robots? What about the people who are stuck in this sadistic game of yours? Did you ever take their lives into consideration before playing these sick games of yours?" Nagi pointed his finger down at Milton's head. "The evils of this world must be stopped, even if it has to happen one man at a time. You will die. I guarantee it."

Milton's body lifted into the air, Nagi took his hand and moved it back and forth, flinging Milton into several things before finally killing him. Nagi looked down at him with disgust. "Brad almost died because of you, you and all like you will burn" with that, Nagi left the room and went to the dining room hoping to find another man to get rid of, so he could get out of there.

A balding man with glasses, and a tall lengthy man with short hair walked into the ballroom. Kotori pulled Brad further behind the piano and sat paralyzed with fear. Brad looked over and saw the revolver. He grabbed for it and pulled the trigger. The glass held by the lengthy man broke in his hand. "damn," Brad said, "I missed."

The lengthy man turned and looked at Brad lying on the floor with Kotori sitting beside him. He smiled as he realized that the character of Ms. White was only half dressed. He looked down at the wounded Brad and laughed a little, "so I guess the murder hasn't happened yet."

"It has happened," Kotori said, "I revived him." He began to advance on the two of them as a partially drunk, balding man stumbled over to the couch. Kotori began to back herself into a wall as Brad pulled out the revolver again. He pointed it towards the lengthy man.

"I am Sir Jonathan Parker, you cannot shoot me, you wouldn't get away with it! I'm famous!" He screamed. Brad's shaking hand began to go more wildly.

Brad smiled as he said, "No, you're infamous. The authorities won't have a clue as to who you were, besides. If worst comes to worst, we'll destroy this house." His eyes narrowed as he focused on Parker's chest. "Good bye Mr. Parker. The evils of this world will soon be gone. And you are just one step away from our victory."

"Whose victory?" the drunkard man yelled from the couch. "WHOA! Look what happened to this old guy!"

"What?" Parker asked, walking away from Brad as though he didn't exist. "What did you do to Mr. Green?! The suspects aren't supposed to be killed!"

"You keep your filthy hands off of my wife!" yelled the drunkard.

Kotori grabbed the gun from Brad's hands and stood up from behind the piano. "Damn it! Don't you realize what's going on?" she screamed while holding the gun pointed at Parker. Parker pulled his hand out of his inside coat pocket holding a small pistol. He pointed it a Kotori.

"You will die, you little whore!" he yelled to her.

The sound of a gun being cocked could be heard behind Parker. "Don't disrespect the lady, you are going to die, and the victory will be ours." Schu said. "Good bye Parker."

"Whose victory?" Parker screamed.

"Schwarz."

Parker lay dead on the ground. Schu walked over to Kotori who still held the gun in the air. Schu pushed the gun down forcing it to fall onto the ground. She fell to the ground and began to sob. "It's okay," Schu said, "he's gone, the world is now a better place."

"I've never held a gun in my life," she said. "And the first time I did was to kill another human being."

The balding man sat on the couch fast asleep, still as drunk as he was before. Schu looked at him with disgust and sniveled at him. The sound of this woke him up and he looked around as if he did not know where he was. He looked up at Schu and said, "I think you. you're pretty.ugh." Schu gave him a look of disapproval. He quickly yelled out at Schu, "OH MY GOD!" while pointing at the wall behind Schu and then ran off as Schu turned quickly to see what he was pointing at.

Schu looked over at Brad, "thanks for letting me know what was going on Brad, I'm glad I could help, okay. I've got to go get that drunken fart." Schu then ran out of the room as fast as he could to go catch up with whoever it was that was just in the room.

Ran sat in the library waiting for somebody to enter, but nobody had for the last hour. As he looked at the clock he noticed that it was already 3:45 in the morning, he hadn't had any thing to do for the last hour, he thought about opening the book, but he decided it would be best if he just left it in his pocket for now. He felt rather odd without his coat, and was tempted to go back and get it. Then he realized that it was soaked in blood, and that didn't sound like a coat he wanted to wear. He heard footsteps outside the door and got up and ran out of the room. Outside he saw a man stumble into the study. He quickly ran over to the study to cut off the man, whoever he was.

He opened the door to find that nobody was in the room. But he knew better, he ran to the corner and pulled up the carpet, this room led directly to the kitchen. Just then Schu flung the door open, "I caught you, you slime ball! Oh, it's just you."

Ran looked over at Schu, "Hey, he's going to the kitchen. I'll go through here, you go cut him off!" Schu nodded and ran out of the room. Ran pulled on the latch and jumped down. He looked down at the tunnel, and could see nothing. He ran down the corridor hoping to see some sort of light. But could see nothing. As he ran he heard some sort of voice calling. But tripped before he could do anything about the voice and was knocked unconscious.

The sound of a door slamming woke the previously sleeping balding man. He stood up from behind the couch. And saw that no body was in the room. He slipped out of the room and back into the dark hallway. As he walked along he could see that there was a light coming from the entry hall. He ran towards it as fast as he possibly could. As he opened the door he found that a man with white hair and an eye patch sat stabbing at the leaves as he pulled them off of the potted plant in the center of the room and dropped them to the ground.

Farfarello turned to see a balding man with glasses. He smiled and thought hard so that Schu could hear him. "There is somebody here Schu," he thought, "he is balding and has glasses on, he seems to be slightly built, but not enough to put up a strong fight. He has a sort of florid appearance about him. As if he has been drinking."

Schu waited in the Kitchen, any minute either Ran or the drunk would come bursting through the floor. He pulled out his gun and cocked it. He was going to get that man. For Brad. Suddenly a voice could be heard in his head. "Schu, he is balding and has glasses on." he listened attentively taking in every detail.

"That's our man Farf, get him," Schu said inside his head.

The balding man stepped back toward the door. As he looked at Farf, he noticed his mouth began to move slightly and his eyes seemed to be concentrating hard. He quickly turned and ran out the door. As he ran out into the hallway he looked to the study. Then he looked to the lounge. He knew that the lounge was the direction that the orange hared man was. The study was the last place the red head was. So he opted to go in the direction of the study. As he ran he heard a door fly open. The sound of an excited scream could be heard in the distance. "YOU CAN'T GET AWAY FROM ME YOU SCUM SUCKING PIG!"

He ran down the hallway and back toward the ballroom. At least in there he could face a woman and a cripple. That was easier for him. So he ran into the ballroom and saw that both of them had fallen asleep. The door opened and a boy of about seventeen entered the room. "So, you thought you could get away by killing a woman and a cripple?" he said. "It is people like you that disgust me, I will not let you get away with this."

The man seemed to be much more sober now that he had realized that tonight he might die. He pulled the gun from the ground where Brad and Kotori slept and pointed it at Nagi. Nagi put his hand out and moved his fingers about. The revolver was now bent up word at the barrel. The man dropped the gun and pointed his finger at Nagi.

"Don't you come any closer boy! I'm Bradley Stocks! Nobody tries to kill me! They wouldn't last a second!" Bradley screamed.

"Somebody stole my socks?" Brad said half-asleep. Schu entered the room quietly so to sneak in on the now cornered, now sober, drunk. He saw him pointing at Nagi as if he was telling him off for doing something stupid. But it was he who was doing the stupid thing, because Nagi began to fume. "Who are you?" Schu asked, "What do you think you are doing?"

Bradley turned upon Schu and gave him a look of utter disgust. "I am Bradley Stocks, if you don't already know me, then that's too bad. I will get you killed before anything even happens to somebody near me."

"Who stole my socks!?" Brad screamed.

"Nobody stole your socks Brad," Schu said, "just don't worry about it."

"Are you talking to me?" Bradley asked, "because you should shut up before you get killed."

"I'm afraid the only one getting killed tonight is you Brad," Schu said angrily.

"WHAT DID I DO NOW?" Brad screamed.

"You didn't do any thing wrong Brad," Schu said to Brad.

"Then why on earth are you going to kill me?" Bradley asked.

"I AM going to kill you stupid," Schu said annoyed.

"WHY!" Brad dramatically screamed.

"Because we have to kill him!" Schu yelled out.

"I thought you weren't going kill him," Bradley said confused.

"I'M NOT GOING TO KILL BRAD! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"

"YOU SAID YOU WOULDN'T! YOU SAID I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG!" Bradley screamed.

"YOU DID DO SOMETHING WRONG! THAT'S WHY WE HAVE TO KILL YOU!" Schu exclaimed.

"What did I do wrong? I've been asleep! Stop confusing me!" Brad yelled out.

"I'm not talking to you! I'm talking to Brad!" Schu yelled. "Brad! Not you Brad! Brad the bad guy with the glasses!"

"I have glasses!" Brad exclaimed, "I just don't have them on right now!"

"I thought you were going to kill him!" screamed out Bradley.

"I'm going to kill YOU! Not Brad!" Schu yelled at the top of his lungs.

"WHAT?" Bradley exclaimed, "YOU SAID YOU WERE-" Bradley fell to the ground. Kotori stood over his body holding the led pipe. She was breathing heavily.
