Chapter 02 – the rules of the game

"Let's play a game of Cluedo shall we?"

The group stared at one another not knowing what to do.

"It's a very simple game, trust me. All you have to do if follow my instructions and no one will get hurt. Can you see the lovely Haros on the table? Well they represent each of you. If one of them goes missing, it means that one of you goes missing too. In its place will be an envelope with more instructions and clues. If you are able to solve the puzzle both the person and the Haro will be returned…if not, well that's a secret."

"Who are you?" Athrun asked.

"Well that's for me to know and you to find out, but don't try anything funny, the game has begun and I'm in control. Calling the police would be a very bad idea. Don't you realize that someone is missing? The envelope is on the table. Have fun and remember don't break the rules, I can be a very strict game master, and you don't want to know what the forfeit is for breaking a rule. Have you ever played Cluedo? If not, this will be a very interesting first time."

Laughter echoed through the room and the group shivered.

"What kind of sick game are you playing at? What are you trying to do?" Cagalli shouted.

"Oh no. Tolle, he's not here. Don't tell me that…" Miriallia gasped, afraid to finish the sentence.

Sai picked up the envelope, opened it and removed its contents.

"This isn't normal Cluedo, and I do hope you're smart enough to solve these clues. This is your first time so let's make is simple." Sai read out from the pieces of paper.

"Let's say that your dear friend Tolle was murdered while coming to this beautiful house. His body was found in the boot of the car in the garage. Care to go to check?"

"What kind of weird person is he? Tolle can't be…he can't be." Miriallia sobbed.

"Don't worry, I doubt anything has happened to Tolle. Remember, the game master said no one would get hurt as long as we follow his instructions. Let's just go check the garage, there may be clues there. I guess all we have to do is find the murderer and Tolle will come back. Don't worry Miriallia. Everything's going to be alright." Kira comforted her.

"How could such a thing have happened?" Lacus mumbled to herself.

"Wait. There's more. It says here that this time all we have to do if find the murder weapon and Tolle will come back." Sai continued.

"Well that shouldn't be too difficult." Dearka commented.

"Easy for you to say. This has nothing to do with you." Miriallia said angrily.

"Well it's not as if I can just pack up and leave can I. so of course is concerns me." Dearka retorted.

"Let's not pick a fight now okay. Just get this done with first and we'll see what we can do later." Athrun said leading the way to the garage.

Note: well there's chapter 2. If you're reading this, hope you'll review. Just tell me if you like it or not or whether it's good or not. Thanks.
