Here's Chapter 4 of Frankie Sleuth! I'm sorry, I didn't updated it lately. Enjoy!
The gang went back to the mansion. "Okay, Red, now what?" Terrence asked impatiently. "It's Frankie, and we have to talk to Bertha!" Frankie explained. "What? You're kidding right?" Bloo asked in disbelief. "Well, maybe she will have some answers." Mory explained. "But she's mean!" Bloo snapped. "She was the only we didn't talk to." Frankie explained. "And you know why?" Bloo asked rolling his eyes. "Now listen..." Frankie scolded before a letter went into the mail slot. "Hold that thought." Frankie said as she went to the door. She opened the letter and saw a red liquid. She screamed as she dropped it. Everyone looked shocked at this. "Cool!" Terrence exclaimed. "No, Terrence! Not cool!" Mac said surprised by his brother's reply. "Frankie, is that...?" Mory asked. "Yes, I think that's blood!" Frankie said disgusted. "Eww!" Bloo said in disgust. Frankie picked up the envelope by its dry end and went into the bloody envelope for the letter. Everyone was disgusted. Frankie then took out a letter. "This blood belonged to Dr. Stern. Unless you want your blood stuffed in an envelope, I suggest that you give up and turn yourselves in." Frankie read. Vivian held Eduardo in fear. Eduardo merely comforted her. "It's okay, Senorita Vivian." Eduardo said calmly. "What are you talking about, you overgrown goat! We are on the edge on death!" Terrence shouted. "Eduardo was merely trying to comfort Vivian, Terrence!" Mac snapped. "Well, sorry, stripey hat but we're all going to die!" Terrence said literally coming into Vivian's face making her scared. "Hey, watch it!" Eduardo snapped. "Aw, what's the matter, did I upset your little girlfriend?" Terrence taunted. "At least he have friends!" Mac taunted. Terrence turned to Mac with a death glare. "Don't make me come down there." Terrence threatened slowly. "Guys, guys! We already have enough pressure on us! We shouldn't put some pressure on each other!" Mory said trying to calm everyone down. "They couldn't pull this on a grown-up. But they do something bad, they have a trial and stuff!" Bloo said angrily. "But kids, imaginary friends and old ladies, they just throw the book at us! Bam!" Terrence said angrily. "Calm down, everyone! I'm going to show this to the police." Frankie explained as she picked up the phone only to see the phone cut off. Everyone looks shocked. "So who's up for walking?" Bloo joked. Everyone glared at him.
Frankie, Mory and Bloo went to the police station while everyone was talking. Wilt, Eduardo and Vivian was talking. "Do you really Terrence was right?" Vivian asked worried. "No way! That jerko is always mean!" Eduardo explained. "Yeah, don't believe him! He is just a creep!" Wilt explained. "I know. I'm just scared that's all." Vivan said nervously. "Don't worry, I promise that nothing will hurt you." Eduardo promised. Vivian giggled. "Thank you." Vivian thanked. Wilt smiled as well. Then, they saw Terrence with his luggage. "Um, Terrence, what are you doing?" Wilt asked. "If you think I am going to stand around and get my blood stuffed in an envelope, think again!" Terrence said pulling his luggage. "But Terrence, where are you going?" Wilt asked. "Going home." Terrence snapped. "But Terrence, the Foster's bus have been taken to by the police!" Vivian snapped. "So what? I'll just run hitchhike!" Terrence shrugged. "Hitchhike? But that's dangerous!" Wilt snapped. "What do want me to do? Walk?" Terrence asked. "No, let Senorita Frankie handle this." Eduardo explained. "Let a female do a men's job? No way! I rather run away!" Terrence snapped. Vivian glared at his at this. "You male chauvinist!" Vivian snapped angrily. "What? How dare you?" Terrence snapped angrily as he glared at Vivian. "You don't even know what a chauvinist is!" A voice snapped behind Terrence. He turned around to see Mac. "Sure, it is a dumb,... dumb thingy!" Terrence said. Everyone just rolled his eyes. "A chauvinist is someone who is loyal to his or her sex in your case, his and thinks the other sex is weak!" Wilt explained. "So call the male chauvinist king!" Terrence shrugged. Vivian, Eduardo, Wilt and Mac gasped at this and glared at Terrence. "You! You are the most disgusting person I ever seen of! Even worse than my sister, Beldam! She was mean but at least she wasn't a female chauvinist! I don't see how you and Mac are related. Mac is sweet and kind but you, you are just..." Vivian started before she stomped her foot. Everyone was shocked by her anger. "I'm going to my room." Vivian said stomping off. Everyone was silent for a minute. "Women are weird." Terrence said. Mac slapped his hand on his face while Wilt and Eduardo looked applauded by Terrence's response. "I think Terrence is going to have a little trouble dating." Mac said shaking his head. "Whatever." Terrence shrugged. "Ay crumbra! I'm sorry but Vivian was right. You are nothing but a male chauvinist! All you care about is making people's lifes miserable. Sorry, but you are a major loser." Eduardo said before he stormed off. "Imaginary friends, male or female are weird." Terrence said before he walked out the house. "Terrence! It's dangerous out there! Terrence! Oh, what the use? Viv and Ed was right. He is a loser." Mac said before he stormed off Mr. Herrieman then walked into the room. "What was the meaning of all this noise?" Mr. Herrieman asked. "Terrence said that women can't be detectives so Vivian called him a male chauvinist and then Vivian, Eduardo and Mac yelled about him being a jerk ad then they stormed off to their rooms." Wilt explained. "Oh, dear what about Master Terrence?" Mr. Herrieman asked. "He's planning to run away home!" Wilt shouted. "What? But that's dangerous! And besides, it's getting late! We should probably go find Master Terrence!" Mr. Herrieman suggested. "Yeah, maybe he will get hurt or lost." Wilt said worried. "Then, summon Master Mac, Master Eduardo, Miss Coco and Miss Vivian! We have a boy to find!" Mr. Herrieman said before he hopped off.
Meanwhile, Terrence was walking in an alley. "What a bunch of losers! You should be ashamed of yourself! You are a major loser! Gimme a break!" Terrence said rolling his eyes. He walked through the alley. Unknown to him, a shadow was following him. It was only a few seconds before he heard footsteps. "Who's there?" Terrence asked turning around to see no one. "Ha ha. Maybe it's just the wind!" Terrence chuckled nervously. As he walked over a few more steps. Then, he heard a twig crunch. "Who's there? I'm warning you! I'm a bully!" Terrence threatened as he backed away slowly. He then turned around and to walk faster. "It's just a wimpy cat that's all. Yeah! All I have to do is keep walking that all." Terrence smiled nervously. The footsteps were getting closer. "Of course, they's nothing wrong with a little running." Terrence said running. The footsteps sounded like he/she was right on top of him. "Sprinting! Yes, Sprinting! I just gotta keep sprinting!" Terrence said sprinting scared. It was dark and he didn't see where he was going and then he ran smack into a wall and fell down. "Lying down. Lying down. Sleeping." Terrence said dizzily before he fell into unconsciousness.
Meanwhile, Mr.Herrieman, Wilt, Eduardo, Coco, Vivian and Mac was ready to start the search. "Ready, everyone?" Mr. Herrieman asked. "Yeah." Everyone said usure. Everyone told Coco what happened so now being a girl, she was ticked off as they are. "Now I understand about what Master Terrence said about the strengths of women but if that murderer on the large, Terrence is in grave danger." Mr. Herrieman explained. Everyone nodded. They are still mad at Terrence but knew they can't let him die. But, then a light blue car drove into the driveway. "What the?" Mac started. Then, a blonde-haired woman came out. She have a light blue shirt, denim jeans, cyan sneakers and cyan socks to match. "Okay, which one of you riffraffs is Frankie?" The woman asked clearly ticked off. "Um, Frankie have gone to the police station with Mory and Bloo. Who are you?" Wilt asked. "I am Beverly Hill. Ashley Posh's best friend. And you murdered her!" Beverly Hill said pointing an accusing finger to everyone. "We did that not murdered her!" Mac snapped. "Yeah, right." Beverly said rolling her eyes. "Sorry but we are kinda about to start a search. Our... um,... friend's brother have tried to leave Oceanville on foot." Wilt said worried. "Uh-huh. You are trying to go awkward eh?" Beverly asked raising an eyebrow. "No! We're not! Terrence's going awkward because..." Wilt started. "He's a doofus?" Mac asked. "Doofus or no doofus, he is going awkward and I'm going to call the police! It's a good thing Frankie went there. Or I have to wait five minutes for her to get arrested." Beverly giggled as she got out a cell phone and called the police with everyone glaring at her.
Meanwhile, Frankie, Mory and Bloo were at the police station showing them the letter. "Ah ha! You murdered Mr. Serious!" Bertha accused. "No, we didn't!" Frankie snapped. "Oh, yeah then who murdered Dr. Serious?" Bertha asked. "The same person who killed Ashley Posh!" Frankie said. Bertha just rolled her eyes. "Lying, murdering and using someone's blood as an ink? Now you gone too far!" Bertha said angrily. "Listen, beastie! Someone tried to murder Frankie before but now someone tried to murder us!" Bloo snapped. Bertha and Bloo glared daggers at each other. "Now, Bertha, kid." Chief started. "I am not a kid. I'm an imaginary friend!" Bloo snapped. "Sorry, listen calm down you two, Miss Foster, we will add this to our evidence box." Chief said. "Chief, you can't be serious!" Bertha asked in disbelief. "Be reasonable, Bertha." Chief said. Bloo blowed a raspberry at Bertha. Bertha just glared daggers at him. Then, the phone ran. Bertha picked it up. "Hello? Oh, hey Beverly? I thought I told you not to call on duty... What? Oh, really? Well, don't worry, we got the escaper right here." Bertha smirked. Frankie, Mory, Bloo and Chief looked confused at this. "That was Beverly Hill." Bertha said. "The same Beverly Hill on the address list?" Mory asked. "What?" Bertha asked. "We found a list of names which includes your names in her wallet." Mory explained. "What? You were snooping through her stuff?" Bertha asked. "Now, hold it, right there!" Bloo snapped. "Now, everyone calm down. What about Beverly Hill, Bertha?" Chief asked. "Oh, yeah, apparently, one of your friends went awkward." Bertha said. "Awkward?" Mory asked. "As in tried to flee the town?" Frankie asked. "Yes." Bertha nodded as she smirked. "But who would do such a bonehead thing? Who..." Frankie started before realising something. She slapped herself on the face in anger. "Terrence." Frankie growled.
Terrence woke up groggily to see he was being carried by the shadowy figure. "Yo! Let go!" Terrence called out. "Shut up!" The shadowy figure snapped. "Let me go!" Terrence snapped. The shadowy figure ignored him. Terrence then bit the shadowy's figure arm and bit it. "Ouch!" The shadowy figure said as he/she lost his/her grip of Terrence. Terrence then ran off. "Ah, a chase. Challenging." The shadowy figure smirked as he/she got out a knife started to run after Terrence. Terrence knocked over some trash cans to trip up the shadowy figure but the shadowy figure easily jumped over them. "He's just like a ninja!" Terrence thought. He then ran around the corner and he kept running until he ran into a muscular, purple monster and he fell down. "Oh no! Ninjas and monsters?" Terrence asked in disbelief. "Oi! Who are you calling a monster!" A Spanish voice asked angrily. "Eduardo?" Terrence asked. "Si? Who do you think I was?" Eduardo asked. Then, the shadowy figure came. "A psycho ninja!" Terrence screamed in fear. The shadowy figure then stabbed the knife into Terrence's leg making it bleed badly. Eduardo gasped at this. And grabbed Terrence and ran off. "So I got two muscle-heads to kill. Interesting." The shadowy figure smirked as he/she ran after Eduardo. He ran through the alley to Mr. Herrieman, Wilt, Coco, Vivian and Mac. They gasped when they saw blood pouring from Terrence's leg. "Master Eduardo, what happened?" Mr. Herrieman asked worried. "I think we found our murderer." Eduardo said. Then, the shadowy figure came. "Seven birds with one stone? This one lucky day!" The shadowy figure smirked. Everyone gasped at this. "Everyone, stand back!" Vivian called out. "What? But Senorita Vivian..." Eduardo started. Vivian created a firewall from her hands that stopped the shadowy figure. Everyone looked shocked at this. "Everyone, run!" Vivian shouted as everyone ran away to the front yard of the mansion. "That was a close one!" Vivian sighed in relief. "Since when can you do that?" Mac asked. "You know I am orignally from the game "Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year-Old Door"? Well, I have the same skills as the video game Vivian." Vivian explained. "Why, didn't you tell us?" Wilt asked. "I never thought I'll be over to use it." Vivian shrugged. "Well, I don't know about Fiery Jinx but please use Veil a lot." Mac begged. "Okay." Vivian nodded. "Yo! I'm still in pain here!" Terrence groaned. "Oh, right!" Eduardo nodded as they ran inside the mansion. Duchess came out annoyed. "What is going on here? I can't get my beauty..." Duchess started before she saw Terrence's bloody leg. "Wow, what happened to you?" Duchess asked. "Well, the good news is we found Terrence and the culprit. The bad news is he stabbed Terrence." Wilt explained. "Well, serves you right for running away!" Duchess scolded. "Miss Duchess is right. You shouldn't have ran off like that!" Mr. Herrieman scolded. "Okay, okay. I'm sorry. Stupid thing to do!" Terrence apologised as he groaned. "Come on, Terrence needs medical treatment immediately." Wilt said as Eduardo set him down on the sofa. He, then saw some of Terrence's blood fell on his chest. "Oh, yuck!" Eduardo said in disgust as he went to wash up. Wilt got the first-aid kit and bandaged Terrence's leg. "Wait a minute, isn't there something we're missing?" Mr. Herrieman asked. Everyone thought for a second then realised something. "Frankie, Mory and Bloo!" Everyone exclaimed.
Meanwhile, Frankie, Mory and Bloo were walking home. Frankie was completely fumed. "I can't believe that Terrence! Trying to run away! When I get my hands on him, I'm going to kill him!" Frankie said annoyed. "Please don't say kill." Mory asked worried. Frankie could tell he was freaked out by the blodd envelope they got this afternoon. "Sorry." Frankie apologised. "I can't believe Ashley Posh invited that creep!" Bloo said angrily. "Well, he..." Mory started before he saw a suitcase. "What's that?" Mory asked. "Whatever it is! It's ours now!" Bloo smirked as he ran towards the suitcase. "Bloo!" Frankie and Mory scolded. "What? Finders keepers, losers weepers!" Bloo said. Frankie and Mory rolled their eyes in annoyance. "Now, let see what we got here!" Bloo asked as he opened the suitcase. He then held his nose(?) in disgust. Frankie and Mory held their noses as well. "Yuck! What is that smell!" Frankie asked in disgust. "It's Terrence's boxers!" Bloo shouted. "Are you sure?" Mory asked. "Trust me, living with Terrence for one year, you remember his smell." Bloo said. "But if that's Terrence's suticase, that means..." Mory started. "We have to find Terrence A.S.A.P.!" Frankie shouted. Mory and Bloo nodded as ran until they saw a blood trail. "Oh no!" Mory gasped. "You don't think that's..." Bloo started. "No!" Frankie gasped as they ran towards the shadowy figure. "What the?" Frankie asked in surprise getting the shadowy figure's attention. "So Frankie, we meet at last." The shadowy figure said. "What? Are you the person who tried to kill me?" Frankie gasped. "Yes." The shadowy figure nodded. "Why?" Frankie asked. "Because of what you done long along." The shadowy figure snapped. "For what?" Frankie asked. "I can't tell you until you're dead." The shadowy figure smirked as he/she got out a knife and lunged at Frankie but she shoved the shadowy figure away with her feet. The shadowy figure dropped his/her knife. He went to pick it up but Mory grabbed him/her. The shadowy figure tossed Mory over his/her shoulder. He then went get the knife but Bloo came in right of her. "Hiya!" Bloo shouted making a karate pose. "That's cute." The shadowy figure smirked. Bloo then kicked the shadowy figure a little below the belt. He/she flinched in pain. "Run!" Frankie shouted as she, Mory and Bloo ran away. "I can see why Bertha hates that Pacman-ghost reject." The shadowy figure said in pain.
Frankie, Mory and Bloo ran back to the house to see everyone there and Terrence with a bandaged leg. "Ah ha! You got injured didn't you?" Bloo smirked. "Hey, it's not funny!" Terrence snapped. "Well, you never would have been injured if you just stay the mansion!" Frankie scolded. "Sorry." Terrence apologised sadly. Frankie just sighed. "Look, have Beverly Hill came here?" Frankie asked. "Yes, she came to find you so she went to police station to find you." Wilt explained. "Is something the matter? You look like you seen a ghost." Mac said concerned. "Worse! A ninja!" Bloo said. "We found the murderer. And by seeing Terrence's leg so have he." Frankie said. Terrence just sighed. "We're not safe anymore!" Frankie explained. "But what can we do, Miss Frances? The Foster's bus is towed and like, Master Terrence showed us, walking on foot is dangerous!" Mr. Herrieman explained. "Okay, enough!" Terrence snapped. "Well, I suggest we stay completely focused." Frankie suggested. "Like completely focused. I can do that. Completely focused and no distractions. Seems easy enough. Wait a minute! Is that a book on Paddleball History?" Bloo asked as he went towards the library. Everyone just rolled their eyes. Bloo grabbed the book and the house started to shake. "Bloo, what did you do?" Everyone asked. "It wasn't me!" Bloo said. Then, the library made a passageway. Everyone looks amazed by this. "Bloo, your short attention span may have help us solve this case!" Frankie said happily. "Really, let's go, then!" Bloo said before running forwaed but Mac stopped them. "Hold on there, Mr. Eager Beaver! We don't know what's now there." Mac warned. "I know! A secret treasure!" Bloo smirked. Everyone rolled their eyes. "We'll make a party of six. So who wants to come?" Frankie asked. "Me! Me! Me!" Bloo said jumping like he's a bean. Everyone rolled their eyes. "Well, there''s two down and four to go." Frankie shrugged. "I'm coming too!" Mory said. "Right!" Frankie nodded. "I'm sorry but can I come?" Wilt asked. "Sure, Wilt." Frankie nodded. "And me?" Eduardo asked. "Si." Frankie nodded. "I'm coming too!" Terrence shouted. "Not you!" Frankie scolded. "Why not?" Terrence asked in disbelief. Frankie pointed to a bandaged leg. "It's not that hurt!" Terrence snapped. "Are you sure?" Frankie asked. "Yeah, now let me go!" Terrence snapped. "Fine, you win. You can come." Frankie sighed. "All right. I promise you won't regret this!" Terrence promised. "Then, why do I have a feeling that I just need? Look, the rest of you stay here okay?" Frankie asked. Mr. Herrieman, Duchess, Madame Foster, Vivian, Coco and Mac nodded. As Frankie, Mory, Bloo, Wilt, Eduardo and Terrence went into the passageway. Then, the shadowy figure appears out of nowhere. "What the?" Mac said. The shadowy figure took out a gun. "Don't make a move." The shadowy figure said coldly. Everyone looks shocked at this.
