Chapter 4: Caught
Back in Forever Forest, Red Ninjakoopa stirred slowly. He had almost been killed by the murderer but he had some how survived having his neck stepped on. Using the broken wooden shaft of the assassin's spear as a cane he slowly limped away.
Mario had finally decided to take the case of the assassin into his own hands. He had gone into Forever Forest to ask his friends at the Boo Mansion if they had heard the news of the assassin. He was careful not to attract much attention in case the assassin was around and he happened to be the next target.
The assassin silently stalked around Forever Forest, using various bushes and trees to duck behind in case anyone was after him. Framing Mario was going to be a whole lot harder than he thought. He then spotted what looked to be an old Koopa or Toad limping over a cane.
"What would ol' Koopa Koot be doing in Forever Forest?" The assassin muttered. "The old fool should know better when there's an assassin out." With that he headed after the limping figure.
Crouching down in some bushes, the assassin waited for his victim to walk close enough to his hiding place. When the figure was close enough, the assassin wrapped his arm around his victim's neck to keep him from crying out. He then expertly slid his dagger in between two of the victim's ribs. The assassin then twisted the now unconscious victim's neck to make sure he would die. When the assassin looked down at the dead victim, what he saw shocked him. It was Red! The assassin thought he had all ready finished him off.
Mario looked in the distance. He saw a cloaked figure standing over a dead body. "Stop there assassin!" Mario shouted.
The assassin turned. Mario had seen him. He turn and ran as fast as he could, forgetting his dagger which was still lodged in Red's ribcage.
Mario was so busy concentrating on catching the murderer he was not looking where he was going. He had tripped over Red's body and landed with a dull THUD!
"Hey Mario." Mario heard the familiar voice of Mark Shroom the detective.
Mario was having trouble getting up and had obviously twisted his ankle in the fall and couldn't get up to tell Mark that he had seen the assassin.
"Hey Mario, Luigi said that you'd be out here and…" The detective stopped dead in his tracks at what he saw. "Oh my Stars what have you done, Mario?!"
