CLUE: A JOHNNY DEPP VERSION

Chapter 4: Enter Mystery Man

A/N: Well, I've been a little busy lately and in sort-of a writing mood. Anyway, I tried to write another story (apparently it stunk, so I think I'll be taking it off soon if I can't fix the chapters) Soo… I decided that I should show some courtesy to all of my "Depp's" so… review please! Tell me how you think its going, and don't forget to submit your guesses!

Disclaimer: alas, I do not own any of the wonderful "Depp's"

'Oh crap…' mumbled Ichabod looking down the hallway with a surprised and scared look on his face.

'What's the matter Icha--' mumbled Hanson stepping to the front of the group and staring at the man in the middle of the hallway who was tied to the chair and had duct tape over his mouth.

'Who do you think it is?' asked Edward as he watched the man struggle

'MMMN! MMHHMMM!!' mumbled the man, his blue eyes glaring deeply to the group, pleading for help.

'I guess he could tell us where Spencer went, or if Riff was here' said Don Juan

'Yea, or he might try to kill you...' smirked Cry- Baby

'I got it, Cry-Baby, you and Jack untie him, while I get behind him to make sure he doesn't try anything… got that whoever you are in the chair?' said Hanson to the mysterious man.

'It's Captain Jack, mate.' said Jack as he stepped to the left of the man in the chair ready to untie him.

Cry-Baby slowly made his way to the other side of the man, with a nod from Jack, he was about to untie him when he was interrupted by Hanson.

'Be careful, we still don't know who he is.' said Hanson slowly pulling out his pistol

(In southern accent again)

'HEY! You got a pistol, how do we know that you didn't murder Mr. Boddy?' asked Mort suspiciously

'I didn't murder Mr. Boddy, after this is all over I'll show you my gun, which has not fired a single bullet, and he was dead when I came here ok?... Alright, let's get back to untying this man.' said Hanson irritably

'MMMHMMMM!!' cried the man obviously irritated that he was still tied to the chair

With the ok from Hanson, Jack and Cry-Baby cautiously untied the man and took the duct tape off his face.

'Thank god, it took you all long enough!' said the man jumping up from the chair.

'And you are who exactly….?' asked Cry-Baby

'That's Riff' replied George

'Are you sure George? I mean--' Ichabod began to say

'Of course I'm Riff, who else would I be? Mary Queen of Scots!?' ranted Riff brushing the dirt off of his pants.

'Finally, we meet the infamous Riff!' Hanson said sarcastically 'Now, tell us Riff, why did you murder James?'

(In normal voice again)

'Who says we think Riff did it? I mean, is it just a coincidence that Hanson just so happens to have a pistol when one is missing downstairs? And, how do we know that you didn't just change your cartilage of bullets after you killed him?' asked Mort

'I agree with him saavy' said Jack

'What are you guys talking about… it was obviously Spencer… why else would he run away?' Said Ichabod

'Alright, now this is getting out of hand… everyone knows that the butler always does it… I bet Riff here killed Spencer and pretended to tie himself up to mislead us!' said Hanson smugly

'Yes, I too believe it was Riff!' said Don Juan

'Come on Edward, who do you think it was mate?' asked Jack

'I—I—I…it was … um….' stammered Edward

'Stop pressuring him, you can obviously tell he's scared!' said George compassionately

'Wow, George Jung being kind…. what a shocker!' laughed Hanson

'Well, when you have a little daughter…..' said George shrugging

'Everyone, just calm down, obviously we have mixed opinions on who the murderer was… and I know you're all tired and irritated at each other right now, but we need to try and find Spencer and get to the bottom of this fast!' said Ichabod

'He's right, let's juts put our differences aside and try to work this out.' replied Mort.

'Alright, back to business, Riff, why didn't you open the door for us when we entered, that is your job isn't it?' questioned Hanson

'Well, Mr. Rainy arrived first, and he brought with him a shovel he borrowed a while back, I was putting it away in the greenhouse when I heard a noise in the kitchen, I had to leave the shovel as it was and when I got to the kitchen this pirate fellow was there looking for rum… I kicked him out of the kitchen into the room Mr. Rainy was in. After that I finished up cleaning the kitchen… I decided to see if everything was alright with Mr. Boddy, since he didn't ask for anything for a while, but when I came down this hallway some man tied me to this chair!' said Riff

'But how could you have not known that he was dead?' asked Ichabod

'I told you, I was probably in the greenhouse when it happened, so I wouldn't have heard anything, and when I got back I didn't go near the ballroom just like Mr. Boddy instructed me to do.' he said

'Well what about you Mort, obviously when you came he was still alive… did you see anything?' Hanson questioned impatiently

'I was in the bathroom, and the next thing I knew I came out and he was dead.' replied Mort

'This brings us back to square one.' said Ichabod

Suddenly a round of laughter was heard

'What was that…more importantly who was that!' asked Ichabod

'It sounded like it came from the library… follow me!' replied Riff leading the group to the library

'Oh no, not you!… how did you get out of your room? I checked all the locks before I left for the greenhouse.' asked Riff staring at the man sitting in the library

'Good morning starshine, the earth says … hello.' was the reply he got

TO BE CONTINUED…..

I know this one's a little short, but I thought I should leave it off here… don't forget to tell me what you think!
