by Lucky in the bathroom. You gotta go when you gotta go! :P

A/N: Again, short and suspensful. Is this bad or good? Comment please! :)

It was a cold, foggy Sunday and reporters were buzzing about AnnaMarie Grumardi's murder.

Rita was gloomily walking to her white limousine while the paparazzi and the reporter people were trying to take some good pictures and ask her some questions. She was to depressed to do anything anymore.

Then the Ch. 9 reporters got one question answered.

"This is Wilma Chung live on the spot at Rita Grumardi's home. Rita, tell us, who do you think did this dreadful and nasty murder?" the reporter asked.

"Um...well...I do not want to be in live TV right now, but here's something: my main two suspects are Palmer and Helmsworth."

"Rita, another question please...!"

Rita Grumardi solemnly shook her head. She got into her limo and drove to the police station to get the evidence checked.

The best forensic scientist in the Minnesota state, Dr. Vispucci, was currently examining the bloody knife's handle for any fingerprints when Rita arrived.

"Any luck, Dr. Vispucci?" she asked hopefully.

Dr. Vispucci took one last glance at the knife. Then he turned to Rita.

"Miss Grumardi's murder is a very curious one," he said. "There was not a fingerprint left behind."

Rita stood there, stunned. "Well, perhaps he wore maybe gloves?"

The doctor sighed. "That is true, maybe."

Another scientist named Finn shot up out of his chair. "Dr. Vispucci, sir? I have something here!"

Finn ran to him. "You see, on the back of Rita Grumardi's picture that the murderer left behind, are some kind of tiny words. You have to look inside the microscope to see what it says, though." Finn motioned toward the microscope, then placed the picture under it.

Rita looked inside the glass. "Rita Grumardi," she read, "YOU'RE NEXT." Rita gasped at the information.

The young scientist also got some fingerprint powder. He sprinkled it all over the back of the picture, where it was white, and brushed some off.

There were a lot of fingerprints on the picture. All of them were the same.

"We need to look at it," explained Dr. Vispucci. "And it might take what, 15 days or so?"

Rita sighed.

"It was very weird, because the knife's handle was left polished and clean. Probably the knife was newly bought, no?" Finn remarked.

The others agreed. Finally, after a great inspection of the evidence, Rita left.

10 days later, the two suspects were found.

And the weirdest thing is...

They were not Franklin Palmer or Robert Helmsworth.
