In Today's Case: Murderer Home Part 2
Richard looked at Tess funny. He then nodded his head agreeing with her.
"I know it ran by us." Richard stated. Tess looked at them both as she placed her hand on Conan's head.
"We should all go down stairs and stick together." Tess stated. Richard and Inspector Maguire nodded their heads.
"That's good idea. Let's go." Inspector Maguire stated as he turned around walking down the hallway. Richard followed behind him. Tess reached down Picking up Conan resting him on her hip. She walked on down the hallway behind Inspector Maguire and Richard. Conan watched everything around him from the height he was at. He could see everything much better. They walked on down the stairs to see Rachel standing there a little frightened at what's going on. Rachel looked at them as Tess placed Conan on the floor.
"What's going on?" Rachel asked. Richard walked toward her.
"Well Rachel…" Richard started. Tess walked. She then leaned up against the wall of the room.
"There's no other way to put it. There's a mad man running around." Tess told her. Rachel looked at Tess. Conan looked back up the stair case. Tess then hit herself against the forehead. "Crap!" she shouted.
"What?" asked Inspector Maguire. Tess stood up.
"I left my gun in the room upstairs." Tess answered as she walked up toward the stairs. Richard then got in her way of the stairs.
"You're not going anywhere by yourself." Richard stated. Tess sighed. She placed her arm on his shoulder then she moved him.
"Don't worry Richard." Tess told him.
"I'll go with her." Conan cut in. They all looked at her. Rachel placed her hands on her hips.
"I think not Conan!" Rachel shouted.
"Why Rachel? Its better then her being by herself." Conan stated. Rachel shook her head again.
"No I'll go with her." Rachel stated walking toward Tess. They both started up the stairs then disappeared around the corner. Conan watched them both. Who ever was the mad man he better watch out and stay clear out of Tess and Rachel's way.
Tess and Rachel were now standing in front of the room of the crime scene. Tess entered the room looking around. She couldn't really eye anything but total darkness. She then got on her hands and knees and started to search for her gun moving her hands around. Rachel looked to her left and then the right.
"Hurry Tess." Rachel stated. Tess nodded her head. Then Rachel felt someone wrap their hand over her mouth and pull her into the darkness of the hallway. Rachel tried to scream but her scream was dimmed by the hand of her mouth. Tess heard her. She whipped herself around. Rachel was gone. Tess reached on the floor again hitting something. She didn't even know what it was but she grabbed it and held it in her hands.
"Rachel! Rachel!" Tess called out as she ran out of the room and stood on the door that was knocked to the ground. She looked around. "Rachel!" Tess called out one more time. There was no response. "RAAACHEEEL!!!!" Tess called out as she turned toward her left running away from the stair case.
Conan heard her calling Rachel's name but it was faint. He looked up at Richard and Inspector Maguire who were on the other side of the room. He looked around when he saw the figure standing in the corner of the room. Conan pointed him out.
"Look out!" Conan shouted. Richard and Inspector Maguire looked at Conan then up at the corner of the room. Then the figure jumped out on top of Richard. Conan looked around the room there was nothing to kick till he spotted a suit case on the floor. He pressed the button on his super shoes and then aimed and kicked the suit case. The figure ducked his head. He looked in Conan's direction but didn't seemed threatened by him. He looked up at the cops who were running toward him. Then figure jumped off of Richard. It then started too charged toward an officer.
"Look out!" Conan called out again. It was too late the figure hit the officer. The officer fell to the floor was blood coming out of the right side of his chest. Then a bullet hit the floor by the figure's feet. It jumped then looked forward into the kitchen to see another figure standing there. It charged to the right. The other figure ran into the room shooting the gun. The light that the gun gave off showed it was Tess.
"Where's Rachel!!!!!!" Tess shouted out as she kept on shooting her pistol. Tess then ran out of bullets. "Dang it!" Tess threw her gun onto the floor. She then charged forward chasing after the figure. Conan blinked.
'Why would she ask a question like that? 'Where's Rachel'.' Conan's eyes widened. 'Rachel's missing!!!' Conan charged forward chasing after Tess and the figure. When Conan was half way down the hallway that connected to the room they were all in he fell on something. He lifted himself up. He looked down seeing something small in the darkness. He lifted it up. It was warm and hard. He got a closer look at it to see it was a real bullet! Conan dropped it onto the floor. 'That's why Tess didn't shoot her gun yesterday! She had real bullets! But why? I thought Tess wasn't allowed to use real bullets.' Conan got to his feet and continued to run. 'Tess, what are you hiding?'
Conan peered around the corner when something tied around his foot knocked him over. He looked down to see a hand on his ankle. Conan's eyes widened. The figure looked up at him from the floor. Conan looked straight into his white eyes. He then smiled showing his pure white teeth. Conan got freaked out. He turned reaching out grabbing onto the rug trying to pull himself away put the figure pulled him closer to him.
'This man's nuts!!' Conan thought.
"LET GO OF HIM!!! HAH!" Conan looked to see Tess swinging her left leg into the figure's face. The figure rolled on the ground. Tess grabbed onto Conan's hand lifting up off the floor. Tess ran as Conan swung by her side. Back and forth. Tess finally picked him up and started to carry him. Conan looked back the figure who was catching up quickly. Tess then looked to her right. She turned the corner sliding on the rug. She then fell to her side dropping Conan in front of her. Tess looked back as she watched as the man wrapped his hands around her throat. Conan got to his feet.
"Tess!" Conan shouted out. Tess then grabbed a hold of the crazy person's wrist. She twisted it. Then man dropped her onto the ground. Tess landed on her feet. She grabbed a hold of the back of Conan's shirt lifting him up off of the floor. She started to run again when she bumped into someone. She fell onto the floor. She looked up to see Richard.
"Come on you two!" Richard yelled as he pulled Tess up off of the ground. Tess looked at Conan. She grabbed a hold of him again putting him on his back. Richard squinted down the hallway to see the figure charging at him. He blinked. Tess's arm came from the corner grabbing onto the collar of Richard's shirt tugging at him.
"Come on Richard!" Conan shouted. Richard then started to run a long side of Tess. All three of them peered around the corner entering the room where they all stood. Tess completely out of breath. She got on her right knee leaning on it. Conan slipped off of her back as he looked at her. Richard took a deep breath then let it out.
"Where's Rachel?" Richard asked. Tess looked up at him. She could barely even talk to him, she was running so much she was surprised herself that she was getting air into her body. Tess lifted up her finger. She waited a little bit till her heart rate went down.
"That's, that's what I want to know." Tess said taking a breather. Conan looked up at Richard. He was frustrated now that Tess couldn't answer him. Richard turned around. He walked toward a chair then took a seat. Conan heard something breathing hard behind him and Tess. He turned slowly looking to see the figure. Tess looked up and then behind her. The figure's arms came out hitting both of them in their faces. Conan was knocked to the floor and Tess was knocked off of her knees, but she caught herself. She then swung her leg underneath the figure as he hit the ground. An officer ran over pinning the figure to the floor. But then the figure broke free of the hold. He turned stabbing the officer in his chest. Tess stood up. Conan got a glimpse of the man's shirt. It was white like the limo driver. Conan squinted a little.
'That shirt! He's the murderer! He's the murderer!' Conan thought to himself. Conan looked to his side to see Tess's gun there. He pressed the button on his shoe again. He kicked Tess's gun. The pistol hit the figure in the back of his head causing him to fall to the ground. Tess dove pinning the thing to the floor. She held his hands behind his back. She used her elbow to press his face into the floor so he couldn't move anywhere as she sat in the middle of his back. Conan looked at Richard. He ran over he then flipped up his stun gun.
"O…w…" Richard limped in his chair falling asleep. Conan stood behind him. "I know who he is." Richard "supposedly" said. Inspector Maguire turned to look at him.
"Who?" Inspector Maguire asked. Tess turned her head to look at Richard sitting in the chair.
"Look at his shirt." Richard stated. Tess leaned to her right.
"It's white." Tess stated. Inspector Maguire looked at Richard funny.
"What does that have to do with anything?" he asked Richard.
"Well Mr. Yuki's limo driver was wearing a white shirt." Richard stated. The lights soon flicked on and off then came on completely. Tess looked over to see the man's face.
"It is him!" Tess shouted. The limo driver was able to get Tess off of him.
"Yes! I killed Mr. Yuki! Because I'm a mad man! HAHAHA!!! I wanted to see him dead!" the limo driver stated. Soon four or five cops pinned him to the floor cuffing him. They took him to a car throwing him into the back then drove off. Tess sat down on the steps as other cops walked into the back opening the shed door to see Rachel. Conan walked out of the mansion. He looked at Tess.
"Why are you using normal bullets?" Conan asked her. Tess quickly looked at Conan surprised.
'How did he find out?' Tess asked herself.
"That's why you didn't shoot your gun yesterday. Why are you using real bullets?" Conan asked. Tess looked forward without an answer. Then Richard and Rachel walked around and stood in front of them.
"Come on… we had enough for one night." Richard stated. Tess nodded her head as she stood up.
"Yeah let's go." Tess stated. They started to walk forward when an officer ran toward Tess.
"Here ma'am." He said as he handed her, her gun. She took it from him.
"Thanks." Tess stated as she got into the car. Conan wondered why she was using real bullets. Tess never had used real bullets only when she wasn't using her gun but someone else's. Conan got in after Tess. Then they drove off Conan still wondering why Tess was using guns. He still needs to get more pieces of the puzzle.
