BALLROOM- 10:00 PM

"Well, well, well....." Professor Corundum muttered when he entered the Ballroom, "It was about time I'd find you in this house."

The person looking back at him was none other than Miss Scarlet. Her glare showed no sign of love. Prof. Corundum was one of the last people in the world she would have wished to see. There was a good reason why....

"I told you I never wanted to see you again, Father..." She replied coldly.



"Your lack of respect for me is...understandable....but very misplaced, my child," He stated as calm as possible, "Now that we are back together, I suppose we could be one little family again, provided your mother were alive. However, first I would like to have a word about what I think..."

"Think about what?" Scarlet snapped, getting up from the recliner.

"About your behavior!" Corundum replied sharply.

Scarlet straightened herself, trying to show no fear or emotion towards the man she used to call "Papa".

"Never did I think that my *own* daughter...would shame us so..."

"I shamed you?" She interrupted.

"I'M NOT FINISHED SPEAKING, YOU LITTLE HARLOT!"



This little outburst left her completely speechless.

"Now then...." He continued, "I'm put in a rather awkward position. I'm perfectly prepared to forget about you running away...and becoming some cheep sex object for cheep men. Obviously, you never considered yourself a proper Corundum....perhaps you never were. What do they call you now? *Miss Scarlet*?

Scarlet's face remained unchanged.

"It's none of your concern."

"Oh, but that's where your wrong," He corrected, "You are my concern because you were my daughter. My scruples have held up more weakly than my reputation could, no thanks to you. I never did get the respect I fully deserved, but Mrs. Peacock doesn't have a clue on the way I rely on her. Nor should she. Provided you help keep my performance in high review, nobody will have to know about your past..."

....Suddenly... Colonel Mustard made an appearance.....

"Somebody was shouting in here..." He said sternly, "Why is going in on?"

"Why nothing at all Colonel Mustard," Prof. Corundum replied cheerfully, "We were just having a little disagreement."

Mustard suddenly gave him a sharp look. He knew the man was lying.

"Listen to me, you filthy moron," He threatened, "You keep away from Miss Scarlet, you hear me? I don't know what you think you are gaining from staying here, but you skating on very...thin...ice...."



Bipin didn't know what to say.

"Good evening to you too....my good sir," He muttered as he left, "Be gentle with her tonight...."

Mustard ignored him as he turned to Scarlet and embraced her.

"Now, my dear," He said gently yet firm, "How has he been treating you?"



"Well, I'm alright now at any rate, Cliff, my sweet."

Mustard smiled too.

"No more worries," He assured, "I'll take care of the problem if need be..."

DINING ROOM- 10:30 PM


"I took this nasty bugger from the Kitchen," Captain Brown stated in a low voice, "If need be...I'll use it."

He brandished the Knife at Colonel Mustard.



"Good, good," Mustard replied, "Tonight, we are both prepared for an entirely different hunt. The creature is one nasty little thing. It's crass, it's annoying, and it knows too much. That is why I've armed myself with this."

He lifted up the Winchester Shotgun taken from the Billiard Room cabinet.



"One shot from this, will teach the maggot a thing or two..."

Cluedo:
PEACOCK'S ROOM- 11:00 PM


It was the time of the night. Mrs. Peacock and Prof. Corundum happily retreated to her bedroom for a little nighttime nookie. They were both cosily curled up on her bed with their bodies close and cuddling. Both of them whispering sweet things to each other...

"Mmmmmm...." Prof. Corundum moaned, "There is nobody I would love to be with right at this moment except for you, my darling peacock. However, I admit I don't feel quite myself. My tummy seems not to be agreeing with me....if you understand."




"It's strange you say that," Mrs. Peacock agreed, "My stomach seems to be in a bit of a bother as well."

Then that's when a thought came to Prof. Corundum.

"My dear, I don't think this is just chance," He said, "There is something very wrong going on in this place. Why....Mr. Slate-Grey had the nerve to throw my...er our book in the fireplace!"

"Did he?" Peacock replied shocked, "Well....it's a good thing I have another copy!"

"Do you?" Corundum replied, "Well...I better go find it then...before someone else get's ahold of it."

With that, he jumped out of bed and hurried out the door. Peacock got out of bed as well and sighed.

"Well...not that it really matters anymore...."

Cluedo:
BILLIARD ROOM- 11:10 PM


Miss Scarlet was quite awake.

Her mind was involved in her on little game of snooker. However for this game, every shot she made, kept breaking the balls....

That was when she got the attention of Madame Rose.

"Miz Scarlet," Rose called, "Would you keep it down in here? I need to concentrate, merci beaucoup."

Cluedo:
STUDY- 11:20 PM


Mrs. Peacock had retreated to her private Study. She knew she had some pain killers in her desk somewhere. Suddenly, she heard a loud noise ring out throughout the mansion, in a room quite close by.

She gasped at it.

"What was that unearthly noise!?" She wondered.
