Smurfocalypse Chapter 34: The False Smurf Part 3
Brainy had his hands full of books, about a stack of three or four cook books that he was going to offer Chef when they got back to the house. He was coming around the corner just as Modest fled the scene of the crime, but because of the stack of books blocking his vision he failed to see Modest or Papa Smurf at the moment.
"Papa Smurf! Check out all these books I found!" Brainy said excitedly as he walked further down the aisle.
"Papa Smurf? Where are you?" Brainy asked as he lowered his arms to peak over the stack.
That's when he found Papa Smurf laying on the floor face down with a growing puddle of blood under him. Brainy's heart jumped into his throat, he threw the books aside and ran to Papa Smurf hardly believing what he was seeing. It was the most horrified and sad moment he had ever been through in his entire life.
"Papa Smurf!? Great Smurf what happened?" Brainy thought to himself as knelt down.
"I've got to get help… DOCTOR!" Brainy said as he ran out of the library as fast as he could.
"DOCTOR! DOCTOOOR!" Brainy screamed as he ran through town.
Back at the house Farmer was discussing their current options on crops, and showing every Smurf centered in the living room the seeds when they heard Brainy's blood curdling screaming. Doctor hearing his name being screamed frantically grabbed his bag and rushed downstairs just in time for Brainy to slam open the front door. He began looking around visibly panicking and panting as he was out of breath from running so fast so far.
"DOCTOR!" Brainy screamed again.
Every Smurf especially Mango shut his ears in response to the yelling.
"What!? What is going on? I have a patient that's trying to get some rest!" Doctor screamed.
"Doctor Papa Smurfs been stabbed! He's dying please help him!" Brainy screamed as tears ran down his face.
Every Smurf's eyes widen and they jumped up from their seats.
"Don't just stand there with your fingers up your Smurf! COME ON!" Brainy yelled as he grabbed Doctor's hand and rushed out the door.
"What does he mean Papa Smurf has been stabbed?" Hefty asked suspiciously.
"Who would stab Papa Smurf? We all love Papa Smurf." Weather said.
"It couldn't have been any of us because we've been having this meeting all afternoon now…" Mango said.
"If This is a joke… It's definitely not funny…" Jokey said.
"I wish it were a joke, but Brainy is an honest Smurf." Dreamy said.
"Papa Smurf is pretty old… What if he… Dies?" Handy asked.
"Don't talk like that! Papa Smurf will fine!" Timber shouts.
"Every Smurf settle down! We need to get to the bottom of this. Whether we want to believe it or not one of us is a traitor." Hefty said.
"The only two Smurfs with him in the library were Brainy and Modest." Reporter points out.
"Everything was going well until that Modest Smurf showed up." Mango said.
"Are you suggesting Modest tried to kill Papa Smurf?" Archer asked.
Archer and Falconer both look at each other and smile before bursting into laughter at the very idea of it. Falconer slapped his knee and Archer was rolling on the floor.
"Modest Smurf try to kill someone!? That's rich!" Falconer said.
"Modest literally wouldn't hurt a fly!" Archer said.
"Remember that time Modest had a fly in his house? Uncle Smurf had to get out of bed at six o clock on a Sunday morning to walk all the way to his house and help him get it out." Falconer said.
"I remember that! They opened every door and window and sat outside on the street corner until it flew out." Archer said.
"So you're saying it was Brainy…" Hefty said
"Is a pig's ass pork?" Falconer asked.
"Nobody loves Papa Smurf more than Brainy!" Alchemist said.
"Furthermore, Brainy does not carry a weapon. Not even the pocket knife I offered him." Tracker said.
"…Sweepy go guard the front gate." Hefty said.
"I'm on it!" Sweepy gathered his mace and his long shield which was propped against the wall in the living room and without question marched out to the front gate.
"Nobody except me and my knights inside right now leaves until we figure this out… Timber I want you to place Brainy under arrest." Hefty said.
"Under arrest!? Why!? Brainy is innocent!" Timber said.
"We can't be so sure… In the mean time I will personally search for Modest." Hefty said.
"The fact he's clearly hiding somewhere proves something is wrong." Carpenter said.
This earned him an ugly look from Falconer and Archer. Just then sure enough they hear whistling outside the door and then it opens with Modest attached to the doorknob.
"…Where the hell were you?" Hefty asked.
"Me? Why, I was at the library." Modest says.
"Do you know what's going on right now?" Hefty asks.
Modest gave a look of concern.
"No, what?" Modest asked.
"Papa Smurf was attacked in the library…" Hefty said.
Modest put his hands over his mouth and his eyes widened.
"Great Smurf… This is horrible! Who would do this?!" Modest said.
"We don't know… But it would seem the only other Smurf in the library with him was you and Brainy…" Hefty said.
"You don't think I would have done that… Do you?" Modest asked looking around the room at each Smurf.
"We don't know for sure, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to cooperate with me. Modest Smurf you are hereby under arrest under suspicion of attempted murder." Hefty said as he and Farmer both approached him slowly.
Modest began to visibly sweat as he his eyes shuffled back and forth.
"Ok guys this isn't funny. You can't actually believe I could have hurt Papa Smurf." Modest said as he backed up towards the wall.
"Don't resist and I promise you won't be harmed…" Hefty said as Farmer blocked the door.
"Oh come on Smurfs you've got to be kidding right? Archer! Falconer! You've gotta help me out here." Modest said.
Falconer and Archer just watched along with every other Smurf not even responding to him.
"Come on! It's me! Your old pal Modest! I wouldn't hurt a fly please believe me!" Modest screamed as he began to panic.
Desperate, he looked to the open window and began trying to climb his way to the window seal. In response to this Hefty rushed up and tackled the Smurf to the ground while in full armor, forced him onto his back, forced his hands behind his back, and tied them together. All this time Modest is groaning in pain in protest.
"You can't say I didn't warn you." Hefty said.
"What do we do with him?" Architect asked.
"The human ships docked at the port should have a brig. It's how humans deal with the unsmurfy." Dreamy said.
"Then it looks like it's the brig for you… Haul him away!" Hefty said as Farmer stepped in and grabbed Modest by the shoulders.
"Your all making a huge mistake! I swear it wasn't me!" Modest said.
"…I want to believe that… I really do Modest." Falconer said.
