Chapter 4 - mystery on the train

Leaning against the window of the train it was passing through the mountains as Tyler was fast asleep until he was rudely awakened as a scream tore through the train

"OH MY GOD!!!!!" As my eyes snapped open I got up quickly as I saw a women on her knees in a puddle of blood as she cradled a man in her arms

"no this can't be happening wake up….please Andy WAKE UP!!!!!"as the tears fell down her cheek a man and women rushed towards her

"I'm a doctor can you tell me what happened"crouching down the women passed him a briefcase full of medical tools as he grabbed the stethoscope

"I don't know….. I went to the restroom everything was fine and then when I came back I found him like this covered in blood….please he can't…..we have a daughter"covering her mouth as she cried the woman beside the doctor comforted her

"I'm sorry….he's gone"placing the stethoscope back in his briefcase the women cried harder as she leaned into the other woman embrace

what did I get myself into now I thought as the door leading into this area of the train slammed open as a man in a black suit walked in with his hair slicked back he glanced at the dead body

"nobody move this is a crime scene and I consider everyone a suspect that includes you Miss am detective Holmes pleasure to make your acquaintance "as he eyed down everyone of us he stopped at me for a bit

Meanwhile did he say Holmes like Sherlock Holmes let me guess he's his great great grandfather or something

"Like Sherlock Holmes?"the women spoke as she looked at him in confusion

"Hmmm he's my great grandfather but enough of that nobody leaves this room until this case is solved after all it's highly likely the murder is still here"as gasps ranged around

"Four suspect and one deceased I will be asking a series of questions to each of you individually let start with you"pointing past the doctor and the two women his finger landed on me

Raising my eyebrow I smirked this is interesting "sure ask away Sherlock "narrowing his eyes he walked toward me

"Where were you when the murder transpired Mr.?"as the other warily looked at me I spoke

"Tyler—-"just as I was about to speak he interrupted me

"Last name"so this how interrogation feel like huh

"Durden like I was going to say before you interrupted I was here sleeping until I heard a scream and woke up"grabbing a small notebook from his pocket he started to write

"Did you hear any strange sounds while you where 'Asleep' Mr.durden"I shook my head meanwhile the woman started to shake as she glared at me

"Like I said I was asleep didn't hear anything till she screamed"nodding he stopped writing

"It a bit early to be sleeping isn't it I'd say it about 3:00 in the afternoon I find it abit strange that you were asleep while a man was being murdered I find it even more strange that you didn't hear anything"so this is how he want to play smirking I said

"Hey am a heavy sleeper "squinting his eyes he turned around before walking toward the doctor

"Before I start asking questions doctor tell me how did he die"watching as the doctor took of his glasses he sighed

"It's strange there no wounds no slashes no cuts no nothing it dosent make sense detective"crouching down he reached into his right pocket as he pulled out a pair of black gloves as he touched the blood

"And yet there a puddle of blood and a dead man"as his eyes closed he spoke

"Thank you doctor now then where were you when the murder transpired"watching as he asked multiple questions to the doctor I couldn't help but stare at the blood

The signs are pointing at a supe being involved considering the strangeness but who as i looked at everyone of them I clicked my tongue

Sneaky bastard could be any of them rubbing my chin the body was the only clue

Wait the body as my eyes narrowed I approached the corpse just as I was going to touch it my hand was slapped

"Don't touch him you may fool the others but I know it was you!"looking at the woman as she screamed in my face as the rest turned to us I sighed

"Sure whatever"ignoring her I touched the body

"Hey how long are you going be lying there"as I glared at the corpse

"What are you—"before she could say anything her husband opened his eyes as he jumped onto the ceiling

"How do you figure it out"as a eerie grin stretched on his face the detective pulled out his gun as the woman screamed

"Andy!!!"as I pushed her back a brown substance slashed through the air only to hit nothing

"Tch!….."glaring at me he broke out in a fit of laughter

"That's not your husband"reaching in my pocket I pulled out a cigarette before lighting it with my finger

"It was simple really your mistake was making it to easy"glaring at me his face started to melt as he slowly began to be covered in a brown substance

"It dosent matter now…. your all going to die anyways"stretching his hands out as a flood of brown came rushing towards me

"Will see about that"as my legs burst into flames I glanced at the shaking woman next to me

Picking her up over my shoulder just as his attack was about to hit I vanished

[RAPID!!]

As a flame trail was left In my wake I tossed her at the detective

"Take her and the rest and go to the furthest tram you all will just be in the way"before he could speak I disappeared as a gush of hot air was blasted in his face

[RAPID-MAN KICKS]

[BOOM!]

Huh as my foot went straight through him he grinned

"My turn"as a colossal fist struck me I was thrown back

Catching my self I smirked the bastard was weak to fire as the hole In his chest struggled to reform and instead it began to hardened

"Your made of clay"glaring at me a he started to expand

"ILL KILL YOU!!!!!"
