I know I said I would conclude the story in this chapter, but I've decided to split the final chapter into two since it's quite long. I'll have the final chapter up a little later when I've finished it, since I want to end this story on my birthday. XD!
After Robert watched Johnny storm out of the kitchen, he decided to join Oliver and Enrique on the sofa in the living room.
"Hey Robert." Enrique smiled. "What happened in there?"
"I was just questioning him...About the fire." Robert sighed.
"Just so ya know, I was completely a victim in all of this...I'm not so stupid as to endanger myself so that I could get at Johnny!" Enrique put up his as if to surrender.
"I'm aware of that Enrique, that is why I've decided to sleep on it, since I can't quite solve this case yet."
Enrique nodded.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I think I'll have a little walk around the mansion." Robert got up, in reality he was going to check the recording, in case he did actually miss anything after he left to check on Oliver.
Oliver sighed as he rested down his pencil.
"Is everything ok Oliver?" Enrique asked.
"Yeah, it's just...I was wondering what else does Robert need to solve the case? To me, it clearly and obviously IS Johnny."
"It sure looks that way...But Robert probably wants to make sure that there is no way that either of us did it." Enrique smiled gently.
"What could possibly suggest that I had anything to do with this! Enri! I'd never hurt you and you KNOW that! I couldn't even hurt a FLY!" Oliver panicked.
"I know, I know! But any good detective suspects everyone right? Robbie probably does have no reason to link you to the fire anyway!" Enrique chuckled as Oliver pouted at him.
"Don't worry me like that Enrique..."
"Hey, I'm sorry! How about I get us a couple of ice-creams from the fridge?" Enrique smiled, trying to cheer Oliver up.
"Fine..."
Robert sighed, as he expected, nothing significant happened once he left to go and see Oliver. All that happened was that Enrique and Johnny got crazy ideas in their heads and decided to see Robert as the culprit, now Robert could understand the way the acted once they entered the kitchen.
Johnny was sulking on his bed. No one believed him, he KNEW he didn't do it. Well, at least he THOUGHT he had nothing to do with it...
"It's not possible...That I made the fire while I was sleep walking right?" He asked himself.
But of course, it still seemed strange, lighting a fire in sleep is one thing, but putting Enrique out of everyone in the castle in the middle of it seemed too much for Johnny to have done it while sleep walking. At least that's what he told himself.
Robert woke up and headed downstairs for breakfast, Oliver was there before him, sat at the table already eating some croissants.
"Guten morgen Oliver." Robert greeted.
"Bonjour Robert." Oliver replied.
After finishing their morning meal, there was still no (as expected) sight of Enrique or Johnny.
"Oliver, the doctor said that Enrique inhaled on a little smoke and was asleep before and during the whole course of the fire, correct?" Robert asked.
"Yeah, which means he definitely couldn't have done it right?" Oliver looked at him, determined.
"Yes and Johnny appears to be certain that he is innocent."
"Robert. It MUST be him! If it's not Enrique, who else COULD it be!" Oliver told him as Robert stared at the greenette.
"Oliver, why did you not go and check and see if anyone was in the fire before you went to wake everyone up?"
"I don't know...It was an instinct?" Oliver raised an eyebrow. "Robert, it wasn't me!"
"I have to make sure that who I believe is the culprit is in fact the one who started the fire."
Oliver nodded.
"So you KNOW it's not me." He mumbled.
"Oliver? Do you KNOW how the fire was created?" Robert questioned.
"Wasn't it the oven that caught on fire? Or actually it could've been the hob on top of the oven, the flames probably caught on something."
"I see." Robert closed his eyes.
After lunchtime, when Robert was on his own pondering upon the mystery, Johnny approached him.
"Robert..." Johnny sighed.
"Yes?" Robert raised an eyebrow.
"Is it possible...To have made a fire while sleep walking?" Johnny asked, a depressed expression on his face and matching tone in his voice.
"I guess it could be possible." Robert told him.
"So maybe I did do it...While sleep walking...I'm sorry Robert." Johnny sighed, looking at the ground.
"There is no need to apologise Johnny."
"Huh?" Johnny gasped and looked at Robert, his eyes widened.
"You will see, I plan to tell you all my conclusion soon." Robert had a small smirk on his face.
"Oh? Well, see you later." Johnny said, with a confused expression and then left.
