____________________________________

The interviews were certainly taking there toll on all of us. In amongst all this people were now openly asking Ljube to answer questions for them, turning this all into a Kangaroo court. Finally the Police launch returned with word that a senior Inspector had been dispatched from up the Valley and would be here in 24 – 36 hours. Until then we all needed to calm down, get some food and sleep – like right mate!

*Jon Millar reappeared at the room set aside for the interviews and spent 5 mins making sure that the Police understood that he was sure Ljube was the culprit.

Many an hour Rasputin and Civman2000 were seen talking with the Babes, or sitting around demolishing a drink, yet when the Police were ready to interview Civman2000 no one could find him. Then no one could actually pin down an exact time he was last seen… Rasputin was sure he was on the terrace enjoying the cool breeze, but there was no sign of him. Yeah after all his talk of what he would say in an interview, how he knew this and that, and how his words would close the case, he never said a thing.

This was strange, what made the matter stranger was the fact that three others were not to be found anywhere either: Tuberski, he left behind a small traveller case which contained letters from his wife and a stash of three ornate hip flasks, each containing nice liqueurs; Skanky Burns, his room had been turned completely, what a mess, linings torn from his bag, shoes cut to pieces, his camera and blackberry both dismantled to small components, someone was really searching for something here; and finally Reismark, certainly a quiet fellow these last days, but now just gone, and his good winter gear all still in his wardrobes!

During the search of the House for the four that had disappeared Rah and two others had taken to the basement to see that no one was stuck down there. Rah upon entering a narrow corridor heard a noise behind him, as he turned he was struck across the neck by a wooden pole. Rah collapsed to the floor unconscious. He was found within 5 mins, lying there with a red yard broom on the floor beside him.

That was it for the Sarge, he called Ljube over and announced that for now he was compelled to place Ljube under arrest for suspicion of the Murder of Sparrowhawk. The Sarge went on that he knew Ljube did not have anything to do with this attack on Rah, as he was watching Ljube throughout the search. Yet so to he had to act on the information gathered.

Several of the other guests were snickering and making comments on how this was a good thing etc.

Well Ljube was not taking this very well at all. Ljube stepped back against the wall. He would not step close to the Sarge, and others moved away allowing Ljube further room to move.

“Stop there” growled the Sarge

“Not likely” were all the words that came out between Ljube's clenched teeth.

Then with the speed of a mountain cat Ljube was suddenly through the door and onto the long stairs that led to the rooms above. Many of us followed him out, not quite believing his speed.

Stopping halfway up the stairs, Ljube called down on us “You are all fools if you believe I would kill a dear friend like Sparrowhawk! And you Paddy, Landlord and all, How long have I lived here. Is this your latest form of hospitality, is this your revenge because when I say it is a set caste then there will be no new characters!” He raved on at us for a few minutes, then he spotted the Sarge calmly walking up the stairs. The next few moments will live with me for many a year…

1. Ljube lunged up at the wall and pulled down a sword that was attached to a battle shield.

2. The Sarge started to move in faster, rapidly climbing the stairs

3. Ljube lunged at the Sarge and cut him deeply across the shoulder with the sword

4. Granny appeared out of my office carrying one of my rifles

5. Sarge fell back down the stairs

6. Ljube with a look of rage in his eyes started down the stairs at the Sarge

7. Granny fired twice

8. Ljube took both bullets high in the right side of his chest. The bullets certainly had an impact upon him, for he staggered, and screamed out some awful curse.

9. With a look of pure hatred he continued at Sarge

10. A Third shot from Granny put Ljube down and out.

At first I had no idea were Ljube was shot with the last round, but on starting up the stairs it was clear Granny had gone for the head, all I will say is that a little hole on the right side was one open mess on his left side, with most of the contents of Ljube’s skull scattered across the opposite wall. Yeah Granny had lived many a year in these mountains, she could certainly handle a gun if required.

The turmoil certainly just went up a notch!

The next few hours there was much yelling, coming and going, more yelling and finally a lot of weary people falling a sleep all over the house. Some would not leave the main room in groups less than three, others were off to barricade themselves into their rooms.

It was in one said barricaded room that Chaunk was found the following morning. His mouth was full of beetles, they were slowly eating away at his tongue. A horrible site indeed.

Two of my residents dead, another attacked from behind – this was not good, not good at all.

As to the guests – well…
