Sleuth Home - Message Boards - Role Playing Stage

Mar-1-2009 12:15

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...

Jun-5-2009 07:07

AS we ran towards the entrance, shots were fired at us. I was shot in the leg. "Damn!" They must know we're here!

"Hurry! Come here!" Ace pulled me behind a large oak tree away from the bullets.

"What should we do now?"

"I know this old church, there a secret tunnel not too far from here."

"But Joseph is hurt."

"I'm alright." I wrapped a torn shirt on my leg to stop the bleeding. "The bullet went past my skin. It's just a scratch." I lied.

We all followed Anais through her secret passage into the church.

Jun-15-2009 13:04

"Come on guys" Anais yelled and we went to the left side of the church. I escorted Joseph and fired some shots to give some back-up. Anais reached the cellar door and took her gun out and shot it open. The lock was totally demolished.

As we entered the cellar,we heard footsteps above us and a man speaking in strange words. We reached the stairs,which went into a spiral upstairs.

As we reached the entrance, I opened it very softly and made a little eye-space to see through it. There she was. Elle Driver. And Father Manfred,who was leading the ritual.

"Sleuth Police,hold it!" I yelled. Father Manfred and Elle Driver looked astonished. ''So,you're here after all.'' Father Manfred said. ''We have a little suprise for you Vulkie", Elle said.

And as the door behind Father Manfred opened,we saw a person gagged and blindfolded. I knew immediately who it was.

It was my brother......

Jun-15-2009 13:12

"Leonard!" I yelled. "Leave him alone,you b*tch,he hasn't anything to do with this. It's between you,me and that lousy priest of yours!".

"Well well,looks like you care for him after all." Elle teased at me.
"Slit his throat" Father Manfred said,coldly. And the man right to him took out a knife and slit Leonard's throat. Leonard grabbed his throat with his hands,fell down on the ground and curled up.

He was dead.... I knew it.... My only brother,dead..... Because of this nonsense....

..... I stared glazely at my brother's body,not knowing the DAB escaped through the entrance. I ran to my brother and kneeled next to him. My hands buried in my face,I cried.

Joseph gave me a tap on the shoulder and as I looked at him,he knew I wanted revenge. But I had to mourn...

"Joseph,I want you to promise. Leave Father Manfred to me. I don't care what you do to Elle,if you torture her,kidnap her,or deliver her to me,you just do what satifies you. You.... You just get them!" I shouted and I began crying again.

As I looked at my brother's face,extremely covered in blood,I saw Joseph,Anais and Ace leave the church....

Jun-15-2009 14:28

Vulkie and I now shared the same hatred for Father Manfred, who killed Lisette my girl friend and Leonard, Vulkies' brother. The priest shall bleed for his crime. I agreed to leave Father Manfred for Vulkie, and the three of us ran out of the entrance. Elle fired some shots as she saw us coming out. We returned fire. They took off on a speed boat by the dock. I saw another one and asked for the use of the boat as police work. The owner could not disagree.

We gave chase on open water. Splashes flew pass us as the two boats twist and turn to dodge all the other vessels. Elle fired shots as us. Ace fired back while i tried to close in on them. The priest's boat almost hit a cruise ship and made an accute turn. I took the chance and ran our boat onto the side of their boat and theirs flipped. Everyone on their boat fell into the water. Anais grabbed hold of Father Manfred, who didn't know how to swim, whille Ace held him at gun point. Elle was nowhere in sight. She must be a good swimmer.

We returned to the church with the wet priest and met Vulkie, who was still moaning over her brother's dead body...

Jun-15-2009 14:47

As I rubbed the back of my hand over my eyes,I saw the gang coming in the church. And with them was Father Manfred. ''YOU SON OF A B*TCH, I CAN KILL YOU FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE!" I yelled at him and suckerpunched Father Manfred. He fell on the floor. "GET HIM UP JOSEPH!" I yelled and Joseph pulled him up. I punched him in the stomach. After that,I took my gun out and shot a round in his leg. "THIS IS FOR MY BROTHER!" I yelled at him and gave him a pistol whip.

Father Manfred almost collapsed of my beating. "ONE MORE TIME" I screamed and Ace stopped me. "Vulkie,control yourself" Ace said calmly. He was the only one who could calm me a bit down..

"Alright,alright,I will try to spare this rotten soul's life" I said,putting my gun away. When Ace turned around,I gave him one last punch (Not Ace,Father Manfred xD).

We put him in the trunk,and I drove with the gang towards my safehouse in the docks. We needed a place to stay. I made some dinner for the gang. I reluctantly let Father Manfred eat with us.

I made some nice steaks with some mashed potatoes. With a nice bottle of wine to go with it, we all silently ate our dinners. After dinner,Ace did the washing of the plates and glasses and Joseph and I went to the garage to put Father Manfred in the trunk.

"I want Anais to guard him. We can't let him escape. I'll take guard at midnight and you will take guard in the morning. After we have guarded him,we will make a plan. Ace can watch him while we make a plan." I whispered to Joseph. He nodded.

And so the day ended....

The next day,Joseph made a plan..

Jun-18-2009 21:20

"Here's the plan. Elle would definitely need Father Manfred back. We can lure her in with him as the bait. It has to be discreet, or Elle wouldn't bite." I said.

"Elle is just a crazy gunner, she'd take any opportunity to fire that Tommy of hers." Ace said.

"True, but we still should be careful. Leak the words on the street that we will take Father Manfred to the Police Station tomorrow noon, but don't let her know where we're coming in from. She would probably ambush us outside the police station then. I shall inform the station ahead of time, put enough man on the roofs..." I then noticed that it was Ace who did the talking just now.

"Ace, aren't you supposed to be guarding Father Manfred right now?" I asked.
"Ah, Anais knew that i'd like to hear about the plan first hand, and offered to guard the Father instead. Boy! She looked as if she haven't slept all night long." Ace replied. Something's wrong. I could sense it.

We went down to the basement where we hid Father Manfred, only to find his dead body, with Anais standing rigidly beside it. Her body was soaked in blood.
"What happened?" I asked.
"I think that explains it." Vulkie pointed at the bloody knife Anais was holding.

I looked into Anais vacant eyes. She was not responding to us. We took Anais upstairs and Vulkie helped her clean up and change. We put Anais in bed, and as her eyes closed i saw a stream of tears flowing down the corner of her eyes down to her ears. It's the first time I saw Anais cry since the death of her sister Lisette. We had all been so vocal about our hatred for Father Manfred, that I failed to realize how much emotions Anais had be bottled up inside her strong facade.

"Is Anais going to be okay?" Vulkie asked as we closed the door behind Anais' room.
I nodded in silence.

We descended back to the basement to clean up the mess."Now that the Father is dead, we cannot execute our plan!" Ace exclaimed.
I thought for a moment. "No. We still may do that. We still ma

Jun-18-2009 21:21

I thought for a moment. "No. We still may do that. We still may."

Jun-19-2009 03:08

"One of you must dress up,just like him" I said. "Only the person who wears the clothes,must also wear a hat to cover his face."
That sounded logical,I thought in myself.

Surprisingly,I went upstairs while Joseph and Ace discussed some things over and over and over. I felt like helping Anais.

Anais was just in the bed,resting from her "actions". I knew how she felt. I had the same made through me. I wanted to kill him also, but Ace stopped me. Ace..... Ace..... Ace..... That's it,I knew it. Joseph could've stopped Anais,but... Ace switched his place with Anais,so the whole thing blew in shreds.


I went to my room and took a nap,but it turned out to be difficult to sleep. The vision of Leonard came by when my eyes closed and I could still smell the smell of blood. Of course,also the vision of Father Manfred came floating by. How much I wanted to kill him,I spared him. What would've happened if I didn't do so? Would Anais shout against me there,why I did it. Or Joseph,who cared about Lisette,would he shoot me?

Nah,I thought,I did the right thing. I was totally right.....

And so I dozed off,towards the next day...

Jun-19-2009 07:40

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...

Jun-19-2009 19:53

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?
