One by one everyone on the ship died off. Splitting up wasn't such a good idea after all. How could three people die like this in such little time? Everyone had been paged into navigation to witness her body and to start the investigating, or at least Purples Investigation. He immediately went to her body, looking over every mark, stain, and open wound that he could see.
"Hm..." Purple held his chin making his remark. He lifted up one limb at a time. Her body was so gently positioned. It was like she was staged. She looked so fragile.
"What in the world is going on around here?" I questioned. What monster was toying with us? Or more like, who in this room is toying with us... Poor Yellow being the first to witness everything. Even the actual murder event happened right before her. Her sobbing had hurt everyone's heart, not only mine but Orange's too. I watched from across the room, as he held her leaning up against the wall. Letting her expose her feelings.
"Well, this definitely tell us there really is someone on board. A sociopath if anything." Purple's mind wondered.
"Are you sure? Maybe it could have been another accident," Orange said, hoping and praying we were all wrong.
"No, this was no accident. The way she's sitting... Someone staged her. They meant to leave her like this. A message to us. I also do not think she would have ended herself. Not like this at least. She had too much pride, too big of an ego to have done so".
"Then we have a sneaky son of a-" Red's tone harshen, I shut him off before he could say anything.
"Hey hey hey... we have kids around..." He rolled his eyes leaning up against the pilot's seat.
"What? It's not like he hasn't heard me say it before," he proclaimed.
I pointed over to Mini Purple, stating there are more than one. He can do whatever he pleases with his kid, but she is innocent enough. I'd be darned if he turned her too. He ignored what I had to say. He didn't care about anyone else but himself. It was getting aggravating, one more thing from him would be enough to make me snap in his face.
Yellow's tears flowed more and more. The louder she got, the more Red's face twitched.
"This is all my fault! For both of them. Brown... Lime!" She stuttered out. Red's anger level was high, high enough. He was done,
"Just shut up already!" He turned around looking like he was about to slap her silly. That had it, that was the last straw. I grabbed his hand before he could do anything.
"-Hey! That's no way to treat a lady! No way to talk to anyone!" My face hardened, my breathing heavy. It felt like my throat sunk into my lungs. I let go of Red's arm, but not only was his face twitching, but also his whole body now. He was pissed. More than ever, and so was I. Things weren't going to be pretty.
Red's voice lowered more than its tone was to begin with. Almost as low as Blacks.
"What? Do you have a problem with "me" now?"
He inched closer to me as he spoke.
"I might if you keep up the attitude." I spat out of my gritted teeth. Our body heat filled up the whole room. We had blood out for each other. He had enough with me, and I had enough with him. I was ready to end it all. End his fuming mouth. I had no idea what his problem was, but it was about to be fixed. Maybe not the right way, but my way, that's for sure. We were so close that I could see the hot air coming from his mouth and nose. He had so much rage to let out. I could hear the growling coming from every breath he took. He was ready to sink his teeth into me.
Everything echoed around me. We blocked everything out of our heads, until Purple fully pushed himself in between us. We couldn't hear everyone screaming at us, telling us to shut it down. Our focus was on each other at this point. I don't think he cared about this killer anymore. I think his issue was me, and only me.
