||OLD|| -FINGER PAINTINGS- (An II2 Story)

15: We're on the case!

3 murders, and 1 memory loss. OJ had to sit by himself in his office for a moment on how to figure out the murderer. All of the evidence pointed to Paintbrush, but their reactions spoke otherwise. He didn't know what to do. He couldn't wait for another murder, that would just bring more despair to the hotel.

He thought for a moment, then remembered something. After MePhone dissapeared, two people decided to start studying to become a detective, so they could try to track him down. OJ grinned to himself, getting up from his seat and heading out of his office to the detectives.

"Okay, if its heads, I get to do the next job, and if its tails, you get to do the next job." Balloon said. Suitcase nodded and watched as Balloon flipped the coin, only for them to be interrupted by Balloon's door swinging open. The coin dropped to the ground and landed on heads. "Aw man." Suitcase muttered. Balloon picked up the coin and put it on his desk, it was filled with papers, one wrong move and the coin dissapears. "Is there something you need, OJ?" Balloon asked. "I've got a job for the both of you, it might help with your detective skills aswell." OJ said. Balloon and Suitcase glanced at eachother, a large grin growing on both of their faces. "Really Mr. OJ?!" Suitcase asked, hopping up. "Yeah, and you don't have to be so formal, you can just call me OJ, like everyone else." OJ said. "Whats the case? We've been getting really good at this type of stuff, so we can handle it!" Balloon said happily. "Well, its about the murders." OJ said cautiously, the room fell silent. A different mood fell over everyone. It wasn't misery, however. It was more, hopeful.

"We can do it." Suitcase said, Balloon nodded in agreement. OJ sighed in relief. "Thank you so much, this should hopefully stop the murders, or atleast delay them so we have more time. I can tell you everything you need to know about this so far, when you're ready you can find me in my office. Thank you again." OJ said, then left. Balloon and Suitcase stayed silent for a moment before Suitcase squealed in exitement. "Balloon! We've got a case we can both do together!" she said happily, bouncing around the room like a child on suger. Balloon was digging through his closet, "What are you doing?" She asked, tilting her head slightly. "I have an outfit that's perfect for this occasion!" Balloon said. "Is an outfit really necessary?" "Absolutely!" Balloon found it, making a victory noise, and putting it on. It was just a simple hat and scarf, but it made him look like a true detective. "Woah, thats cool!" Suitcase said. "I agree!" Balloon smiled, he tried to walk forward but immediately tripped over the scarf. "Maybe the scarf is a bit much?" Suitcase said. "Probably."

OJ was busy gathering papers when his door opened, "Oh! Hello you two!" He smiled, he placed the papers down and frowned at them. "Is something the matter Mr.OJ?" Suitcase asked. "I feel like I'm missing something. But I'm not sure what." He muttered. "I'm sure it's nothing! We can do this even with some evidence missing!" Balloon said enthusiastically. "Yep! We can handle it!" Suitcase agreed. "It's good to see that you two are excited, I'm sure you two can crack the case. I'll give these to you two and let you do your work. If you need anything please come ask me, anything at all." OJ said. "We will Mr.Oj!" Suitcase said happily. "Thank you!" Balloon thanked, holding the papers and leaving, opening the door for Suitcase and closing it behind them. OJ sighed, "Hopefully this works." He muttered to himself.
