You know should I just make this a Schlattbur oneshot book?

"Thank you Niki"
"No problem Wil, make sure to stop by if you find anything new"
"Will do Niki, bye"
"Bye"

Wilbur walked out of the bakery. By now it was already dark and a small breeze was going around.

He was walking along the street, eyes looking at the floor, when he suddenly bumped into someone.

"Oh sorry about that sir"

Wilbur quickly apologised to whoever he bumped into.

"It's fine dude, it's dark outside, you probably didn't see me, I mean I am wearing all black clothes and a mask, probably not the easiest to see"
"Yea sorry about that again, have a nice night"

Wilbur walked past the man, something felt off about him.

Why was he walking around at night with all black clothes? And why the heck was he wearing a mask? Who was he hiding from?

That's when something clicked in Wilbur.

He spun around, seeing the man still walking away from him.

"HEY! STOP RIGHT THERE, ram"

The man paused and Wilbur started running towards him.

The man also started running, unluckily he was faster than Wilbur, luckily Wilbur knew his way around the town.

So it wasn't to hard for him to cut the man off.

But just as he got to where the man was supposed to be leaving the alley, there was no one.

Wilbur stood there in shock. He was supposed to come out here, there was no other way he could've gone.

Even after waiting for 5 minutes, it was still empty, so Wilbur decided to walk in and check.

By now it was already pitch black, but there were lights around so he could still see a bit.

Wilbur had walked through the whole alley and hadn't found the man, which confused him, a lot.

Suddenly his stomach rumbled, indicating that he was hungry, deciding that it was enough for tonight he went home to have his dinner.

•••

"Hey dad"
"Hey Wil, how was it?"
"It was nice, went to the bakery and caught up with Niki"
"Oh that's nice, well dinners ready in 10"
"Ok"

Wilbur went into the lounge, seeing Techno in the same position he was in as Wilbur left.

"Have you moved since I left?"
"Yes"
"Ok sure"

Wilbur sat down next to his brother, which made him look up from his book.

"What?"
"He's back"
"Who's back?"
"He is"
"Wait what? Are you serious? How do you know?"
"Well I was catching up with Niki and she mentioned that someone had been killed sometime in the last week, I asked and she said they were kille exactly the same as all of his victims, and there was a letter, addressed to me. Then I was walking home and bumped into someone, I said sorry and when I looked up he was wearing a mask and all black clothes, the same as his, I didn't think much of it and continued walking but then I recognised him, I turned around called out to him and he started running. He managed to get away though, in the M-alley"

Techno just sat there in silence.

"So you mean he followed us here?"
"Well he was here before us, so..."
"Then how did he know you were going to come here?"
"Maybe he knows I grew up here"
"That's just creepy, he knows your name, where you used to live, god knows what else"
"I guess, I'm going down to the police station tomorrow to look at the letter"
"Tell me if you find anything new, and Wilbur, do me a favour, don't tell Tommy, Phil or Kristin about this, your just going to worry them"
"Will do boss"

And with that Wilbur left to go have his dinner, Techno following shortly after.

Dinner was rather peaceful, neither Wilbur nor Techno brought up the conversation from earlier.

The next morning Wilbur was on his way to the police station, his badge and all the documents he would need were either in his wallet or in a bag he had with him.

He knocked and walked over to the person at the front desk.

"Good morning, I had an appointment with officer Quackity?"
"Oh yes, detective Wilbur is it?"
"Yes"
"Well you can just sit down in the waiting room, you'll be called in a minute"
"Ok, bye"
"Bye cutie"

Wilbur was a bit startled at that comment, sure he looked handsome, but she definitely didn't, and this was supposed to be a police station, not a 'find your new boyfriend station'.

He was snapped out of his thoughts by someone saying his name.

"Uhh, do we have a Wilbur Soot in here?"

It was the same girl as the front desk.

"Oh, yes"

He stood up and followed her.

"Just through there please"
"Ok thx"

Just as he was about to leave, she pressed a small note into his hand.

"Call me, cutie"

Wilbur took the note and put it in his pocket straight away, ignoring its contents he walked into the office.

"Excuse me?"
"Oh, there you are. I'm officer Quackity, and you are?"
"Detective Wilbur Soot"

He showed his badge while sitting down opposite Quackity.

"I'm here to discuss the incident of a Murder that was committed here recently, I was informed there was something left there for me"
"Oh yes, a letter, who told you?"
"My friend, her name is Niki, she owns a bakery I assume you know her"
"Ah, Nihachu's, yes it's one of my favourite actually"
"Anyway back to business, what was in the letter?"
"Well we haven't opened it yet, as it was addressed to you"

He slid the letter towards Wilbur, who was now clearly distressed.

"Thank you"

He took the letter, walking out shortly after, promising to say if he found any new clues.

•••

Wilbur was sat in front of his desk, at his parents house, questioning if he should open the letter.

Eventually he chose to open it.

He knew what to expect, but his heart still dropped when he read what it said.

How's Nihachu's?
