“Blood Staining Town”
~~~The Drake -Suite 1208- 1:52 pm~~~
Colonel Mustard’s cell phone begins to ring.
“Mike Mustard.” He answers
“Hey, sweetie.” Miss Scarlet says sarcastically
“Vera?” Mike asks, “Hello, good to hear from you. I never did get to say good bye last night at the party.”
“Yeah, that’s nice.” Vera says meaninglessly, “Who the hell is the late Claude Rouge and why are they blaming his murder on a retired colonel?”
“Come again?” Colonel Mustard stutters as sweat drips from his forehead.
“Claude Marine!” Vera says, “I happened to ‘fall’ into a mess of trouble… trouble that could cause problems in your future!”
“Vera please…” Colonel Mustard says, “I can explain everything… come over here and I’ll tell you.”
“Oh, no!” Vera says, “I am not giving you enough time to make up an excuse! Out with it or I will reveal our little plan to Sir Black!”
“Alright Vera…” Mustard says, “You win.”
“Good!” Vera says happily, “Spill it!”
“Claude Marine found out about a certain ‘extra’ plot that will aid us in the murders we are about to commit…” Mustard says
“Excuse me, you must be crazy if you think I can be tossed around to do things for you…” Scarlet says, “I only do that for one man and it certainly isn’t you!” with that she hangs up
~~~The Drake -Suite 165- 1:57 pm~~~
Mrs. Mary Rose wanders around the room as Professor Plum enters.
“Hey…” he says…
“Where were you?” asks Mary
“Vera and I got in a bit of trouble…” Professor Plum says
“I really won’t feel safe until we’re out of the country…” Mrs. Rose says
“I understand…” Gregory looks over at the clock on the wall, “Pack your bags, when I get back from the hospital we are gone…”
“You are going to visit him?” Mary looks at the professor with worry in her eyes, “How do you think he will react?”
“In a sedated manner…” Professor Plum smirks…
~~~Golden Courts -Volleyball Courts- 1:59 pm~~~
M. Dominique Brunette walks through the doors to see Coach Golden standing all by himself in the center of the gym…
“Domo…” Coach Golden says
M. Brunette cracks his knuckles and punches Coach Golden in the throat. He grabs his throat and pushes him to the ground…
“Drop the charges…” Brunette says. He lets go.
“What the hell?” Coach Golden looks horrified
M. Brunette grabs his throat and punches his face, “If the charges aren’t dropped, you won’t be alive in an hour…”
Outside the door Monique watches with Madeline…
“I told you it would be a good idea to get daddy involved…” she smiles
~~~Boddy Mansion -Rose Garden- 2:03 pm~~~
Victor watches from the table as John Boddy talks to two older men.
“Right.” Mr. Boddy says, “You do everything Mr. Nayler tells you to and everything will be fine.” Mr. Boddy walks over to Victor
“Seems busy…” Victor fishes
“Yes.” John says, “One of my uncle’s friends from England decided to pay him an unexpected visit and it just so happens that he is interested in tearing down the mansion and building a fine resort…”
“Eh…” Victor looks puzzled for a moment, “Won’t that affect most of East Arlington?”
“Just to the left of Jonquil Avenue.” Mr. Boddy says
“Why did they ask you?” asks Victor
“I own East Arlington.” Mr. Boddy says
“But what about the mansion?” asks Victor
“I’m having another one quite similar build in the Virgin Islands…” Mr. Boddy says
“Are you serious?” asks Victor
“It’s this great epiphany I dreamed up last night…” Mr. Boddy says, “A resort would go wonderful right here!”
“Eh…” Victor looks puzzled once again, “What about all the historical homes here?”
“They will be flattened.” Mr. Boddy smiles
~~~Peacock Residence -Hall- 2:09 pm~~~
“But they can’t take my house away!” Miss Scarlet shouts into the phone, “Victor, stop him! I don’t care how! Steal the papers, burn the files! Do something!”
~~~ Boddy Mansion- Library- 2:13 pm~~~
Lord Chandler Grey stands in front of a desk holding his silver topped cane. He is looking at the files spread out on the desk. Lady Whitney Grey enters the room in a gray business suit.
“Chandler,” she says, “Have you seen the enormity of this place?”
“Yes I have.” Lord Grey smiles, “It was terribly nice of Mr. Boddy to let me take the land off his hands…”
“How did you convince him to let you buy it?” asks Lady Grey
“We have a connection.” Lord Grey smirks
“Well let’s hope that this gets finished before the completion of the Green’s Spa plan…” Lady Grey walks with her husband onto the terrace.
Mrs. White comes from the Billiard Room door, having heard everything.
“Gracious me!” she shrieks
~~~ Golden Courts- Volley Ball Courts- 7:04 pm~~~
The Pratt’s have won the game. The girls talk about with excitement. Suddenly a blood piercing scream fills the room as Miss Golden steps from in front of the locker room door.
Coach Golden tumbles out of the open door and hits the floor.
“Daddy!” Miss Golden cries, “No!”
“Vikki…” he says weakly, “Take this……” he hands her a single sequent from his quivering hand.
Victoria Golden takes it and then looks at the girls, who are standing near. None of them have a sympathetic look in there eyes…
Blood flows in various directions under the coach…
As the girls watching the horrifying scene in the Volley Ball court, they would never think of what is happening across town in various places…
~~~ Meadow-Brooke Close- Front Porch- continuous~~~
Mr. Carl Lilac is standing on the front porch near the front doors. He is talking on his cell phone.
“As soon as you find Candice make certain she doesn’t leave your sight!” Mr. Lilac says, “We don’t want her pulling that stunt again!”
Mr. Lilac’s face suddenly cringes and twists. He drops his cell phone and looks down to see a pitchfork pierced through his stomach…
The figure yanks it out and Carl begins to bleed uncontrollably. The figure drops the pitchfork and steps into the light as Candice Meadow-Brooke…
Jayne, Lucy, and Pamela come out after hearing the noise.
“Candice! Oh my God!” Jayne shouts
Lucy rushes back in the house and call the police…
Candice looks over at the street and takes off. At that same moment Mrs. Anna Greys-Cale comes driving down the road hanging up her cell phone. She looks up only to plow into Candice. Candice’s leg is severed but she continues to crawl off the side of the road into a wet embankment… The sound of sirens approaching fills the air…
~~~ Michael Reese- Dr. Rose’s Room- continuous~~~
Dr. Rose lies motionless on his hospital bed. Professor Plum enters the room and walks over to him. Professor Plum looks around and then picks up a spare pillow on the chair. He places it over Dr. Rose’s face and pushes hard…
~~~ Brunette Home- Kitchen- continuous~~~
Mme. Adela Brunette stands in the kitchen looking out the back window. Seemingly out of nowhere a gunshot is heard. The window shatters and Mme. Brunette hits the floor. Blood spills out of the hole in her forehead…
The nighttime moon shines boringly on this special, eventful night… only the people that have taken part during that day hadn’t realized the things that were to happen… until it was too late……
