Thank you for reviewing people, and this is the sixth chapter. It ends in a more cliff-hanger cliff-hanger. Enjoy!
Chapter 6: Picture's Second View
"Look!" exclaimed Peach, who flew to DK's cabana the first thing in the morning. She held the two pictures in his face.
"Let's sit down and talk while I look at the pictures," said DK, and Peach calmed down a bit as they sat down.
"This picture," said Peach, "It shows Bobbery with the others. But look at Bobbery! He has a slash like the one the razor caused under his eye!" DK looked at it in slight confusion.
"But how?" he asked. "It's almost impossible for such a thing to happen."
"Almost impossible, but it shows it right here," she added, and then showed him the next picture.
"That's Bobbery's view when the razor fell and killed him!" recognized DK. "This isn't right, and I think we should tell authorities this."
"We shouldn't," confirmed Peach. "Neither can we tell the others, because we have to keep this to ourselves."
"But what do we do next?" DK asked in uncertainty. "I'm really confused on how these pictures can help us."
"We need to go to Bobbery's house and see around," she said. "We may be able to find something crucial."
Just then, Peach's cell phone rang, and she answered it. It was from Daisy.
"Hi Daisy, what do you need?" Peach asked into the phone.
"Peach, you can't believe it!" Daisy replied.
"What is it?"
"!"
"Hmm? Is something wrong Daisy?"
"I…I…"
"What's the problem? I'm really worried, please tell me."
"I've just been accepted to play in the new orchestra musical, "Pyramus and Thisby"!" Daisy shrieked in joy. "It will take place in the Rainfall Cut Auditorium just six miles away from here!"
Peach sighed in relief. "That's wonderful! We'll all be there to see your play, which is when?" she asked.
"In a week!" Daisy cried. "I've only got a page of lines to remember, and they say that I'm so good at acting that only one rehearsal is needed!"
"Okay," replied Peach. "Anything else?"
"Yes, the director has assigned parts for everyone!" she exclaimed. "You will be Moonshine, Mario will be Pyramus, DK will be lion, Pennington will be the curtains controller, and Yoshi will control the lights, etcetera…isn't it great?"
Peach's voice stopped. "I don't think we'll be able to attend," said Peach. "We need to solve this really important thing."
"Please attend!" Daisy said insistently. "I'll call you back later because I need watch this movie right now," and with that she hung up.
"I think we should go to Bobbery's house now," said DK, and they both flew to his house in Peach's helicopter. After twenty minutes they arrived there.
It was empty, with the door closed and no police around. Nobody was in the quiet neighborhood as Peach and DK silently went into the house. Bobbery's body had been removed, but the razor still remained, along with the cord they untangled from him.
"It's just odd how the police decided to leave everything here," commented DK. Peach unplugged the phone from the charger on the floor next to the razor, which still had some blood on it.
"Why do we need the phone?" said DK. "Is there any use with it?"
"I don't know," Peach said. She then thought of something, and looked in the pictures section of the phone. She scanned through them, and then froze as her eyes got wide with fear. She showed the picture to Bobbery.
It was a picture of all of them, but their bodies were charred, faces unrecognizable, arms and legs burning away. DK stared at it for a while, puzzled and scared.
"Why do we all look dead? Will we all die?" asked DK.
"I think something is telling us that we won't know who it is," replied Peach. She went all the way to the last picture, and what she had expected was there.
It was a view of someone, with a dead salmon on the side, and a lot of pebbles on the ground. It seemed to be from underwater.
"What could this mean?"choked Peach, looking at the picture. "How are we able to prevent this death? We don't even know what it is!"
They both went upstairs to the bathroom, and saw nothing much except for the radio on the floor, which was turned off by the police. Peach pushed the button and ejected the CD. The name of the CD was Miss Fortune, but as Peach looked at the list of the songs, she discovered something else.
"The song playing was "Tumbling Down"!" she cried. "That's how he died, by tumbling down the stairs!"
"We need to get out of here," said DK, and they left right away
The both of them decided to leave the house, bringing the phone along. It was not too late to solve the next death, but they would be too late in doing so.
The next day, Yoshi called everyone to eat at a Japanese restaurant his great-uncle owned. Everyone agreed, except for Peach who was apprehensive.
"Don't worry Peach, I really think everything will be okay," said DK, arriving at the restaurant with Peach in his car. It was a crisp night as the full moon shone brightly.
"Hi guys!" greeted Yoshi as Peach and DK entered. "Everyone is in the back room, but just remove your shoes as you enter the tatami room."
"Okay!" said Peach, trying to sound cheerful, but then stopped as she looked at the edge of the room. There was a pond with three bamboo sticks coming from the top of the ceiling, pouring water into the pond. The border was a type of grill to cook dishes and food, and as DK and she approached it, Peach screamed, as DK realized what the problem was.
Swimming in the pond were salmon.
Daisy isn't dead, YET, so be relieved if you thought she died. Who will meet its death in the boiling pond? Will it be Peach? DK? The rest of the people? Please review so far!
