Chapter 1 " The Offer of A Lifetime"

The coffee shop was empty, the only animals who were left were the ones that worked here. Also one lonely grey and purple wolf sitting at a table, drinking some coffee of course. Ender was just a normal detective, he wasn't important. There were so many other detectives that were better then him. His friend Click was always on missions, because she was one of the top detectives, and so they barley spent any time together. He picked up a magazine and started to read the title, in huge red words it said " A Queen In Need". Enders eyes flew over the pages, when they landed on the words "Detective needed". Enders mouth almost dropped. He moved his wings so nobody else could look over at him. Even tho nobody really could, nobody really even came to this shop. But why?! The coffee here was the best in the whole entire diamond kingdom! He sat up and left the table, the wood floor boards under him creaked as he put on leg in front of the other. He reached the door and squinted as sunlight punched him right in the face. It was a very bright day and the roads were packed with other animals trying to get somewhere. The door closed behind him and he inched his way into the crowed, he had to pin his ears back before he went deaf with all the voices trying to talk louder over everybody else. He looked down a ally way and started walking faster when a pair of eyes stared right back at him. 

It was afternoon and the sun was about to go down, A bunch of animals were waiting outside the queens castle. They had been waiting for hours, Ender was sitting down on the grass when somebody sat next to him. Click smiled at him. He smiled widely " Your back! How did it go?!" he asked, excited. " It was very boring, there was just some kidnapped kid...." she suddenly frowned " We didn't know what happened to her.... and after two days... without any trace of her... we had to close the case..... the first time i ever failed...". Ender held her paw " It's not your fault that you couldn't find her... you tried your best..." That's when the doors flew open, and out came the princess. Princess icicle looked at all of them with a expression of sorrow. It was really weird because he always saw her as the happiest in the kingdom. "Thank you for coming..." She said, and that got everyones attention. Because only the queen or king would ever welcome others into their kingdom. Did that mean that...Ender inched away from the thought... maybe she was just sick. "The reason you'r all here is....there has been a murder.." Everybody gasped or looked surprised. There had never been a murder in the castle! Princess Icicle waited for everybody to get quite when she began talking again " The queen.....is dead..." After that everybody was silent. They stared at princes Icicle with wide eyes, Ender couldn't stop his jaws from falling. Who in the world would murder the queen?! Wouldn't they know what kind of punishment they would get?! Icicle scanned the crowed, looking closely at every one of them.. as if they would suddenly pull out a knife and say they murdered her. But nobody moved " So I need all of you to help me find out who killed her...." She finished.
