Finding the corpse, the private detectives try to establish where everyone was, and the homicide squad is called in.    The scene opens with Fox and Felix Fine standing over the remains of Abracada Brah, while meeting the police investigators, Inspector Bull Schlitz and Lt. D'weir.     Fox :  (standing with Felix on the right of the body) This is the victim.    Bull :  (simply stares at Fox before shifting his gaze to Felix, then addresses Lt. D'weir) Weirdo, get the lab to work.   The lieutenant steps away while pulling out his phone.    Fox : (to Bull) We think he was killed between two and three a.m.   Bull : How did you figure that out?   Felix: He had brains before two.   Bull looks at Felix again without comment.    Bull : (to Fox)  Who found the body?   Fox : Ned Nuckledd and Betty Biggins.    Bull : Get 'em.   Felix: I don't work for you, Inspector.    The inspector reaches into his inner breast pocket and pulls out a flip phone.   Bull : (into the older cell phone)  Weirdo, find Ned Knucklehead and Betty Big Guns.   Fox : That's Nuckledd and Biggins, Inspector.    Inspector Schlitz looks silently at Fox and Felix as he replaces his cell phone in his jacket.    Bull : You two brothers?   Felix: (begins singing the Patty Duke Show theme) We're cou----sins, identical cousins and you'll find, we walk alike and talk ali--   Fox : Shut up, Felix. We're cousins, Inspector.    Bull : From here on, all your input goes through Lieutenant D'weir.   The insector turns and walks away.  Fox turns to Felix.   Fox : You are a total screw up.   Felix: That's what you are; what am I?   Elsewhere, LorDee and Lowell Wrent are standing both sides of Lt. D'weir.   Lt. D'weir:  Mrs. Desilva, how long have you known the deceased?   LorDee:  I did not actually know him well. He was a fixture of Zora Abebe's campaign.   Lowell : Hello, Lt. D'weir; they call you Weirdo, right?   Lt. D'weir:  Perhaps, with their old teeth.   Lowell steps away quickly.   LorDee:   By the way, I am not married. You may call me Ms. DeSilva, or LorDee.   Lt. D'weir:  Thank you, LorDee. I want you to know that you are the prime suspect in this case.   LorDee:   (totally taken aback)  What!? Me!?    Suddenly, a man's scream comes from off stage. Lowell Wrent rushes in from stage right to the center with LorDee and D'weir. He is gasping for breath.   Lt. D'weir:  What is it?!  Why did you scream?!   Lowell : Zora! Zora Abebe!    From stage left, Ned, Betty, Pons, AA, Skar and MauMau quickly scurry in.   LorDee:   (to Lowell)  What's wrong! What about Zora!    From stage right, Fox and Felix Fine enter followed by Inspector Schlitz.     Bull : Weirdo! Close all the exits! Block off four square blocks immediately! I want the coroner here ten minutes ago!   Lt. D'weir:  Check. (steps off talking on his phone)   LorDee:   What is happening!   Lowell : Zora! She's been murdered!           To be continued...   Write A Review Image from Google Pays one point and 2 member cents. You need to login or register to write reviews. It's quick!
