Sleuth Home - Message Boards - Role Playing Stage

It was a cold,November night. I was strolling my way towards my apartment,when suddenly,a car rushed by. I didn't pay attention to it,how foolish of me. I wanted to get a glass of scotch and lay in my bed,just relaxing. But little did I know,for what happened.

The car that rushed by was a car with a hitman in it,with a tommygun. ''Oh,Mr Vulkie3.'',a lady said with a sweet voice. ''Yeah,wha....'' I couldn't finish the sentence. I noticed the gun and it was too late.

The lady in the car fired the tommygun empty on me,and left after they saw me fall down. I was still alive,breathing heavily. I crawled towards my neighbour's house,and I could only rang the doorbell.

I didn't made it to see if the neighbour opened the door,because I passed out...

After solving this case,I knew what the next day happened after I got shot. The front page was full of it,with screaming title of : ''Local Sleuth shot down;believed to be victim of gang war.''

I really hoped some of my friends would find me and help me solve this case,I thought,before I passed out...

I woke to a darkened room, not stiring a muscle. Someone else was in the room with me. I cautiosly opened my eyes, and saw Joseph sitting in an uncomfortable looking chair, fast asleep. I relaxed, and started to think about what I had done.

I felt free. Yes, I knew I would probably be headed off to the slammer soon, but I felt free! That hard little knot of pain and despair that had been bottled up and tightly bound in my chest had been loosed and I could feel. I could feel, and I was free.

I felt a bit selfish- after all I wasn't the only one who wanted to kill the ^@$%!#*, but...

Just then, Joseph stirred. "Anais? You awake?" he queried quietly.

I turned my head and looked at him. "I couldn't stop myself. I know Lis-" I stopped, unable to say her name. Joseph reached out and took my hand. I drew strength from him, and continued. "Lisette and I didn't get along recently, but... before this whole thing started? We had been the best of friends. He took her from me before we even really had a chance to reconcile all the hurts of the past, before I knew if what we had lost could be recovered!" Tears streamed down my cheeks and I batted them away impatiently. "And now-" I paused and grabbed both of Joseph's hands in my own, looking him straight in the eye. "Joseph, I feel! I can FEEL the pain! Before, it was locked up tight right here," I drew his hands to my heart, imploring him with my eyes to understand as I saw his eyes widen while he tried to pull away, "Now? Now there is no knot! I can feel again! I'm free!"

Just then, there was a sudden burst of gunfire outside. I felt pain sear across my forehead before I fell back to the bed, lost to the darkness...

I had never seen Anais that way before, so full of emotion, so full of life. Her chest was so warm, but my face was even warmer, i tried to pull away. Just then, the sound of gunfire filled the corridor outside. A bullet pierced through the door and scratched across Anais' forehead. In her emotional heighten state, Anais exhausted herself and fell unconscious. I called out her name and tried to stop the bleeding.

Just then the door bursted open. The silhouette of a lady holding a tommy gun filled the doorway. Who else could that be.
"So the water didn't drown you..." I said. Slowly i tried to reach for my gun.
"No, but you all will be drown in blood today." Elle snickered, point her tommy at me. "DON'T try to do that. Put your hands up, away from your weapon. Your friends downstairs are already dead. Why don't you two join them?"

A chill tinkered up my spine. Ace? Vulkie? Dead? Impossible!
"Time to say goodbye!" Elle aimed her gun at us. I closed my eyes, ready for the execution. The sound of gunshot filled the air. There was no pain. I flung my eyes open. Elle fell on the floor like a piece of lead. I took out my gun and approached the doorway. Elle was dead alright. Vulkie laid just outside in the corridor, unconscious, with a smoking gun in her hand. Her body was filled with bullets, again, just like the day she was found near her flat.

I quickly called the ambulance for Vulkie and Ace. They were both breathing. I also called the police, for body bags for Elle and Father Manfred. The story I gave was that they both came to our safe house and we killed them both in self-defense. Anais would be okay.

Too many deaths, too much pain. Lisette, Lolita, Leonard... the list went on. Would it ever stop? I really need a vacation, to get away from it all, but it seem like blood and murder followed us wherever we went. Well, that'd be another story, wouldn't it?
