the scene.
i slipped around the corner.
is this a trick?
the body.
it was real.
no pulse.
nothing.
i headed towards the officers, then noticing another detective.
" another detective? what!? do you guys think i'm not capable of solving a case by myself!? "
a brown cap,
black hair,
and obsessed with sweets.
a few lollipops fell out of his pocket, by a few i mean about 600.
how could someone eat that much candy in one day?
surely someone eating that much candy would get diabetes.
but, who knows.
the detective hopped off a crate.
" who are you? "
the blackette pointed his lollipop to him.
" uhm... i'm- Edgar Allen Poe.. "
the candy lover chuckled, " i assume you're a writer, considering the books and the..clothing you wear. "
i jumped back.
" is something wrong with my clothing-g!? "
he cocked his head to the side,
" not really, you just look like..a vampire? " the man chuckled.
oh no- no no no!
what does he think of me?
why did i even wear this- oh goodness.
i'm such an embarrassment!
i should just leave!
" you alright? "
he placed a hand onto my shoulder.
then, i felt at ease.
" well then, i challenge you to a detective game! if i solve the murder first, you buy me loads of candy. and if you win..you get bragging rights! "
his hands flung up.
" i suppose..that's alright-"
the detective bonked him on the head.
karl, my trusty raccoon jumped up onto my head and bit his hand.
" ahh- control your animal! "
he bit his lip, wincing from the pain.
i glanced at the body, a thin white sheet was covering it.
the candy lover looked for a moment, then acted as if a lightbulb appeared over his head.
" aha! i know it- mrs.lockheart killed them. "
it was only three seconds!?-
how could he solve that!?
i looked up, accepting my defeat.
" bow down peasants! "
he posed, pretending like he was 'all-that.'
the staring.
" hm? " he held out a hand, hitting me on the head once again.
karl this time jumped onto his arm and stole his candies.
" hey! that's mine!- "
the detective jumped out to grab the candy, failing.
he sighed, at-least i won in something.
" now..take me to the ice cream parlor down the street or else! "
the man laughed again.
