A Game of Clue. Part 6: Who
"I had no motive to kill, Mr. Mensch!" said Mr. Scarlett (Joe), sitting in the easy chair like he was Sharon Stone in "Basic Instinct,"He was our manager, for fuck's sake! I had no gripe against him!"
The others looked at Mr. Scarlett (Joe) with questionable eyes, wondering if they should believe him or not.
"Besides, I was in bed when the murder took place!"
"Well, so were all of us." said Col. Mustard (Malvin), marching over and crossing his arms as he gazed angrily at him.
Mr. Scarlett (Joe) sighed and they moved on.
"Okay, Mr. Peacock!" said Col. Mustard (Malvin) as he adjusted his monocle, "Where were you the night Mr. Mensch was murdered."
"Hey, mate!" sighed Mr. Peacock (Sav), standing up, "If you must know, I was in the kitchen late last night because I had a hankering for something."
"Which was?"
"Well...if you must know. I was dying for a piece of that Chocolate and Raspberry Torte cake we had the other night for dessert. And if you want the proof, I shall tell you. Last night, there were 12 slices in the fridge. Now, there are...ahem!...9."
"You pig!" said Mr. White (Rick).
"I can vouch for him." said Professor Plum (Viv), "I, too, went into the kitchen for a slice of that Torte and found Mr. Pigcock...er, Peacock, gorging himself on that bloody torte!"
"What the--!" Mr. Peacock (Sav) sighed, throwing up his hands, "So I ate a few pieces of torte!"
"Who gives a shit about the torte?!" shouted Mr. Green (Phil) in frustration, "If you want to know my whereabouts...I was up all night in a hot bubble bath! If you want evidence, check the empty bottle of Mr. Bubble in the trash bin."
"I can vouch for that!" coughed Mr Scarlett (Joe), "His body reeks of it!"
"Shut it!" said Mr. Green (Phil).
"Right! Right! Now let's not get so angry at one another!" said Col. Mustard (Malvin), "Now that just leaves me and I do have an alibi as well."
They all crossed their arms and stared at Col. Mustard (Malvin), waiting for his confession.
"Well...I was with Mr. Mensch that night, but I didn't kill him." he said.
The men glared at him and noticed his eyes were shifting from left to right.
They knew he was up to something, but what.
Time ticked by. Second by second. Seconds soon turned to minutes.
The clock soon tolled midnight and they finally broke their silence.
"Let's have it! You know you did it!" shouted Mr. White (Rick).
"Yeah!" said Mr. Scarlett (Joe), "You had a lot of motive AND balls to want Mr. Mensch dead!"
"No, I have not!" protested Col. Mustard (Malvin), crossing his arms.
"Yes, you have! Everytime you saw Mr. Mensch, you envied him and whatever he had. And that included control of our lives as well!" said Mr. Peacock (Sav).
"I think I have the entire thing down, gentlemen!" said Professor Plum (Viv).
"Do tell us, Professor Plum!" said Mr. Green (Phil), sitting down, "I am all ears!"
Professor Plum (Viv) sighed and began to pace the room as he began his oration of the crime.
"Mr. Mensch was about to get us new record contracts. A great deal that would've given us more financial freedoms, including giving us a chance to perform In The Round once again. But Col. Mustard here wanted to get us out of Mr. Mensch's control once and for all by starting his own independent record label: Mustard, Sauer and Kraut, Inc. But he wanted to get financial backing from Mr. Mensch. Mr. Mensch heard what his intentions were and set out to fire him."
"Go on talking, Professor Plum!" said Col. Mustard (Malvin), "You look good with your foot in your mouth. Jam it on in there nice and tight, right!"
"Let him finish!" growled Mr. Scarlett (Joe), "This is getting very interesting!"
"And then..."
"Professor Plum." said Mr. White (Rick), "I think I can tell you the next half."
"Go right ahead, Mr. White." said Professor Plum (Viv).
"Then, the night of the murder. Mr. Mensch was looking through his financial papers and saw a discrepancy in one of our accounts. Then, he took notice of Col. Mustard's accounts and saw something was off."
Mr. White (Rick) grabbed the papers and pointed them out to the guys.
"How does somebody who lives in a 2 bedroom flat suddenly go around driving a black Hummer with all the latest features?" said Mr. Green (Phil).
"And then..." said Mr. White (Rick), "The night of the murder. Mr. Mensch confronted Col. Mustard about his skimming. Col. Mustard lost his mind and punched Mr. Mensch so hard that he knocked him out. But he did not kill him."
Col. Mustard (Malvin) rolled his eyes, trying hard to deny it, but knew he had to continue to listen.
"So he took the nearby rope from Mr. Mensch's latest mountain climbing venture." said Mr. Peacock (Sav), "And strangled him with it. Mr. Mensch must've resisted because we would've never found the fingernail embedded in the fibers of the rope."
"After you hung him, " said Mr. Scarlett (Joe), "You dragged him out of the library and laid him in the hallway for Mr. Peacock to find later."
Col. Mustard (Malvin) glared at them angrily.
"Is this true??" said Mr. Green (Phil).
There was silence for only a moment, but then...
"I did it!" Col. Mustard (Malvin) hissed, "And I'm glad I did. If not for you meddling men and that Mr. Mensch, Mustard, Sauer and Kraut would've taken over and revolutionized the business! We would've acquired Ketchup and Mayo LTD. if I had gotten away with it!"
The guys soon checked the phone and found it to be on at long last. They dialed the police and they soon took Col. Mustard (Malvin) away for the murder of Mr. Mensch.
THE END
So...did you all get it right?
WHERE: The Library
WITH WHAT: The Rope
WHO: Col. Mustard (Malvin)
If you got it right, pat yourselves on the back. Congratulations!
If you got it wrong...well, maybe I will just have to write another Clue mystery for you. Heaven knows I can't write the guys into the Game of Life.
Or can I??
