Killed By WHO?

Leverrier was on his way to town for an important, and highly secretive, meeting and was making his way down to the underground waterway that would take him away from the Black Order. He was going alone because he didn't want any of the others to learn about the meeting and especially not about what it concerned.

So he waited until late one night to leave the Black Order, telling no one of his plans. And he didn't expect that anyone would find out that he was sneaking away.

The Inspector was a little irritated that he would have to row his own boat but that was just the price that he would have to pay. It was annoying but he would cope.

When Leverrier reached the boat he placed his briefcase in the boat and then made a move to step inside himself.

That was when something came flying out of nowhere, slamming into the side of his head with amazing force. Knocked off balance by the unexpected attack Leverrier tumbled from the boat and fell into the canal.

Flailing wildly Leverrier attempted to make it back to the boat because… he had never learned to swim. Unfortunately all of his flailing only made him go further away from his intended destination and he began to panic as his head sank beneath the water.

Fighting with all his might Leverrier managed to break through the surface of the water, sputtering as he fought to take air into his burning lungs.

And as he fought against the water that seemed to be pulling him into a dark abyss Leverrier saw a small golden creature fluttering in the air above the dock. It took a few minutes but Leverrier finally recognized it as Walker's golem and his hopes rose.

"Go… get help!" he gasped as he once again slipped beneath the water and sucked a large amount of water into his lungs.

Timcanpy continued to hover above the water, keeping a vigil on the struggling man, but he made no move to follow the order that had been shouted at him.

And, had the golem been capable of facial expressions, I'm certain that he would have been wearing a smirk as he watched the man's struggle.

Leverrier was beginning to grow tired and his water logged clothing were making it increasingly more difficult to keep his head above the water. His lungs were burning and he felt light headed.

And still the golem didn't move, save for the flapping of his wings.

"Help!" Leverrier screamed out with all the volume that he could manage. But of course he realized that the chances of anyone hearing him were slim at best. He had made it a point not to tell anyone where he was going and this decision was haunting him as he continued to fight for his life. "Someone help!"

A couple more minutes passed and then Leverrier once again slipped beneath the surface of the water… and this time he didn't resurface.

Timcanpy hovered over the canal for a few minutes longer before he fluttered off, intent upon returning to the room where his master was sleeping.

A/N - Tim did it! A couple of people wanted this one so here it is. Hope that you enjoyed.
