Splinter Way

Chapter 39

Tubbo, Tommy and Wilbur opened the door to the town hall. Many people wandered around, roaming the halls. The looked very important, which worried Tubbo.

"Tubbo are you sure we should be doing this?" Tommy asked, shoving his hands in his red jacket.

"Just watch." Tubbo answered. He walked upstairs to the mayors office, knocking on the door. It took a few knocks to answer.

"What the hell are you doing here? I'm not interested in the interviews, leave." He was about to shut the door when Tubbo pushed it open.

"Hey big fella. We're not talking about an interview. We're here to talk about the big lab planted below us. Beneath our feet." The mayor stopped in his tracks, as he was about to close the door.

"Oh shit." He said. "Get in. And lock the door." Slowly, he plopped down on his desk as they obeyed. He reached for an object inside, revealing a gun.

"Oh, no thanks. We're not here for a scuffle. We just want answers." Wilbur stepped in, protecting his brothers. "So sit down, and you want get caught shooting three kids. That wouldn't look so good as mayor, and wouldn't it?" He chuckled.

"Alright, okay." He smiled, placing his gun in the drawer. "Fine. Question me. And then never talk to me again."

"Mr. Thompson" Tommy walked up to the desk. "What is your current stance with the Japanese government?" Tommy asked.

"I don't know, okay? I haven't even talked to them." Mayor Thompson admitted, putting his hands up.

"Okay, okay. I see." Wilbur spoke, cracking his knuckles. Out of nowhere he slammed the Mayors head against the desk twice, causing his nose to start leaking blood. "What's your stance with the government. Japanese?" Wilbur pulled out a stapler, placing the mayors hands in it. "Answer." He yelped.

"Hello? Is anyone in there? What's happening?" A lady knocked at the door concerned.

"We're good, thank you." Tommy snapped back.

"Listen, I don't know, my assistant has all the information. He'll be here tomorrow." Wilbur was about to staple him when he gave up.

"Let's leave. I give up." Wilbur unlocked the door and ran out, the others following as the woman walked in, terrified with the state of him. They all walked out in silence, forgetting about there hopes of finding Lani.

"You know, he may be right." Tubbo said as they exited the building.

"What makes you think that?" Wilbur answered as they began trekking into the woods.

"Last night as I was doing research with Tommy, there was a few articles describing how the assistant may have been infused with the accusations." Tubbo answered, stomping on leaves.

"Well then we stick him." Tommy answered as they headed home together.
