Chapter 7

The Trial Of House_Owner -

As soon as Monoman said that, he broke off laughing, "Oh your faces! Priceless!" A few of the Crafters looked up, with expressions of Shock and Curiosity, "What do you know...?" Mitch asked. "You mean you didn't know I knew about that? Ha! Buddy, alla' these are on the TV! Yours was especially eventful!" Monoman laughed. "Don't call me your Buddy!" Mitch snapped. "Hey Stampy," Jin said, turning to the Ultimate Builder, Losing his patience to find whoever did this, "Yes?" "What about that note?" Stampy pulled the note out, "I found this in my room Two days ago. It scared me half to death. It's a note from an anonymous person telling me to meet them At the Kitchen after Lights out. I had the common sense not to go, though, it was obviously a trap." Stampy said cautiously. "Why didn't you tell us?!" Fear questioned immediately. "I- They said not to," Stampy replied. "And you listened?!" Nick said in disbelief. "Here's the note. See for your bloody self." Stampy said, sliding the piece of paper across the table to Nick. Nick skimmed through it and held it up for everyone to see,

Hello, Stampy, I would like to meet you in the kitchen
To do some baking. After dark, preferably, to avoid people Knocking over bowls and whatnot.
Also, don't tell anyone. What we're making is a suprise:
A Cake! I hope to see you there!

It wasn't signed, obviously. "Baking with Stampy?" Jason asked. Stampy laid his cat ears flat against his head, "It wasn't him. Don't you dare blame this on him." As if on queue, Lee glared at Jason, Beleif evident in his gaze. "It's certainly a possibility we need to consider," Seto remarked, deep in thought.
"No it's not! Why would you even consider that?!" Stampy exclaimed. Lee took a deep breath, as if to compose himself, then spoke calmly, "I can see why you would think it was me. You have good reason to believe it was me. But it was not. I know I can trust some of the people here. Stampy," He nodded towards his friend, "And I assume the majority of the first group?" He asked with a hint of a challenge.
"It's not that we don't trust you......" Aphmau trailed off, "Oh, it's only that your suspicious of me. Someone you deem trustworthy wouldn't be under your suspicion. Thank you for showing me who I can trust," He pointedly turned his chair so that his back faced everyone from the first group. "For the moment let's assume it's not him, who else could it be? I know I have my suspicions...." Bodil asked.
"Who do you suspect?" Stampy asked, eager to get the conversation going in a different direction.

"You." Bodil said with a smirk. Why was he smirking? He just accused the person that everything told him to trust. How can you not trust an innocent cat that builds just so his friends can enjoy the buildings? "Wh-wh-what...?" Stampy said quietly, his gaze downcast. "It would be easy to forge a note
To pass the blame off of yourself and clear you of suspicion. And this note looks like this person writes constantly. Now, who, in this room, Has a garden of signs they write in everyday?" Bodil concluded.
"It wasn't me?! Here, ill write right here right now!" Stampy said in disbelief. "One; we don't have a pen or paper. Two; you could easily write differently now." Lewis spoke up. "It - Why would I do that?! I read the rules! If I killed someone, and I won't lie, I thought about it, Lee wouldn't walk out with me! It... it's bad enough another friend of mine can't." Stampy declared. He just admitted he contemplated murder.
Another thought struck Jin: What if something happened to Lee? Then Stampy wouldn't have a reason not to. But Jin could see the cat was being sincere, about contemplating murder and not wanting to get his freind killed. But that worried Jin. If something were to happen to Lee....

"You thought about it?! What do you mean you thought about it?!" Nick asked. "Hey, guys, we think this might help... we found this in Ross's room." Jerome said. Seto handed him a few pieces of paper, and he handed them to Mitch, Who put them in the middle of the table, spreading them out and reading over them. "Well this changes everything," he commented. Jin leaned over to read them:

Hey Mitch, Meet me In the Kitchen after Lights out. I found a secret passage to
Some practice dummies and equipment. Hope you'll be there Buddy!

Hey Pat! Wanna meet at the Kitchen after Lights out?
I have Some cool Crazy Craft weapons I found.
Wouldn't hurt to have some self-defense, Would it?

There was one there for everyone except Stampy, Fear, Seto, Sky, Jin, and Barney. "He couldn'ts have.."
Barney said. "It.. It looks like he did." Jin said numbly. Ross wrote the notes.
