[ Secret Neighbor ]

'Gunshot Startle.'

''Anything else?'' Leader spun and asked Detective, yet still seeing his eyes squinting at the image he was holding.. ''I can't see it...'' Detective kept turning the picture on different angles, and flapping the picture he was holding. ''Might end up ripping if you do that, or crumpled up.'' Leader stated, the causes of the ceratin image of the key location. BANG!

''...'' Leader and Detective stared down-stairs, looking horrified by the startling sound coming from it. ''What was that..'' Detective shivered, hiding behind Leader. His hands pressed on Leader's shoulder's, the fear in his eyes, his eye twitching was the sight only to Leader.''Investigate.'' Leader grabbed by his arm and dragged him down the stairs.

''Uhhh..'' Brave stood over - PETERSON? ''I never knew a toy rifle could kill..'' Scout and Inventor looked at each other confused. ''He's not dead..'' Inventor said. ''Toy bullets must have- k-knocked him out..'' Bagger nervously said, clutching onto the wall. ''I mean sure..'' Scout nodded. ''What happened-'' Detective and Leader walked in, staring freakly at the body of Peterson laying knocked out. A red spot was on his forehead, a toy bullet layed next to his head. ''You shot him to hard.'' Inventor giggled to himself. ''Yeah I did.'' Brave laughed at Peterson.

The neighbor grunted of pain, slowly opening his eyes. ''Shi-'' Brave sweared to her self, got shushed by her brother, Detective. ''Stay quiet..'' Detective whispered. The group walked away quietly from the body. The group looked at Peterson, seeing him slowly, yet painfully to get up. The group ran for a room and blocked the door.

''He woke up..'' Bagger freaked out, staying metres away from the blocked door.''It's gonna be okay.'' Brave said, blocking the door with more laying stuff around. ''Come on, he can't even fight a toddler-'' Scout said. ''AHAH-'' Brave laughed. ''I can't breathe- pfft.'' Detective quietly chuckled.

Bagger stares at the group, more then being scared, they are having a funny moment, rather. ''Detective, you still have pictures..?'' He asked. ''Yeah- but, it's blurry.'' He said, pulling out a picture from his jean pocket. ''You want a magnifying glass?'' Inventor pulled out one from his toolbox. ''Yes please.'' Detective snatched it from Inventor, putting the glass near his eye to see. '' He saw an image of the neighbor's room, but it was very hard to see, only a lit oil lamp, dinted in the shadow's. ''Scout weren't you in here.?'' Detective pointed out.

''Yes.. That's where I got distracted by finding the neighbor's diary.'' Scout apologised. ''It's not that far actually, it's the neighbor's room. '' Scout pointed on the magnifying glass. ''Let's go the-'' ''No.'' Leader said. ''Why?'' They replied. ''He might be still out, we should go through a window.'' Leader stated. ''We are skilled and learned to know he's most likely looking for us, and, plus we can deal with a bunch of heights.'' Leader stated, like explaining to a bunch of helpless kids. ''I'll secure it.'' Scout said, unblocking the door, and the door creaked open. Scout's head popped out the door, looking left and right. She screamed of who she saw. ''ARE YOU OKAY?'' Brave said. ''Oh my.'' Leader sassed.

The neighbor, had a butcher meat hook, for what you use stuff for meat. ''You brats are finished.'' He said. The neighbor launched his meat hook, the hook swung around everywhere in the room, pulling Brave towards him. ''AH-'' Brave shouted. Detective tried saving her, but the hook was quick. ''Get away from me.'' Brave said. ''Aren't you scared that your little rodent friend is gonna die?'' The neighbor said, the kid's staring at him with fear. ''No, not really.'' Scout said. ''It's you who's not gonna see tomorrow.'' Leader crossed her arms. Brave smacked the neighbor while he was in a distraction, ''I warned you, Peterson.'' Brave bashed her bat against the neighbor's hand. ''Ouch!'' He grunted, staring angrily at Brave. ''Peterson. Where's Nicky.'' Leader pointed at the guilty man, who had no words to respond back. ''Dead.'' He replied. ''No he isn't, you kidnapped him, and I think the police would love to know what your doing.'' Leader, warned him. ''It's your life that will be lost, behind bars.'' Brave said. ''It's illegal, Peterson.'' Detective complained about the law, more then of his friend, Nicky.

''Pfft, Brats.'' The neighbor replied.
