I woke up the next day with a headache, I felt like I was going to puke. What happened? Was the ketchup I ate yesterday expired or something? Anyway, I didn't have time for this, I had work to do.

I got out of bed and dressed myself in my usual working outfit made out of a white shirt, a pair of black pants, a purple tie, a long purple coat and, of course, my hat. I opened the backdoor to let Chompy back inside, he was still full of energy to continue barking. But this time he barked at me, and not in a very happy way. He started nudging my leg as he looked at me with angry eyes.

''Hey, if you'd been quiet then you wouldn't have to go outside.'' I said in a strict tone. Chompy still didn't shut up for one second. I quickly got out of the house to escape Chompy's barks, I didn't really have the energy to make him be quiet at the moment. I'd have to deal with that later when I get back home again.

I drove to the station and Shawn met me inside, looking rather happy. ''Waluigi, I got the results from the blood test!'' He smiled and waved an envelope in front of me.

''Good, what does it say?'' I asked.

He stopped smiling and blushed. ''Well, uh... I was waiting for you so the reveal will be more epic!''

''Alright, open it then.'' I said as we made our way to my office so I could sit down in my chair. Shawn was eager to open and see what the results said, but after a few seconds of staring at it his face changed to a very worried expression mixed with fear. I waited patiently for him to finish but I think that he was paralyzed.

I grabbed the paper out of his hands. ''Oh, come on. It can't be that bad!'' I said and chuckled. I started reading.

''Dear blah bla... uhuh, yeah yeah...'' I whispered to myself. Then I came to the results itself, I felt a shiver down my spine as I read the persons name that the blood came from, letter by letter, time stopped inside my head.

''The DNA found in the given blood samples belongs to...''

...

''...Waluigi Wario.''

''That can't be true!'' Shawn exclaimed. ''If somebody had lost THAT much blood they'd die from blood loss!''

I couldn't say anything. I stared at the paper confused and actually a little bit creeped out by the whole thing. ''How is that possible? I don't have any cuts anywhere, so where would they get blood that comes from ME?!''

Shawn started banging his head against the wall lightly. ''This case just gets more and more confusing.'' He groaned.

I laid my head down on my desk, that nauseating headace still hadn't gone away and now I was all dizzy. What was happening?

''Waluigi, you okay?'' Shawn asked. I didn't even bother to look up, I just wanted to stare down at my desk for a moment to try to calm my head down. ''I don't know, I woke up with a headache and felt a little ill, now everything's spinning.''

''Is there something I can get you?'' He asked, worried as usual about me.

''A cup of water would maybe make it better.'' I groaned.

Shawn hurried out of my office and soon came back and handed me a small cup of water. I gulped it down immediately and tried to focus. ''Hey.'' Shawn said. ''What's that on your neck?''

''Huh?'' I asked confused. ''What are you talking about? What's wrong with my neck?''

Shawn took out his phone and quickly snapped a picture. He then handed it to me and told me to look at it. I saw it, on the right side of my neck there was some kind of wound. It looked like a burn of some kind. But I don't remember getting burnt on my neck...

''It must be those cultists!'' Shawn said. ''They said that you're next!''

''Well, I'm not going to let them.'' I said and stood up, trying to keep my balance. It felt like the dizziness got worse every minute. ''Where are you going?'' Shawn asked.

''I'm going out to find those sons of bitches wherever they're hiding!''

''No, Waluigi Wait-'' Shawn shouted as I went out of my office and into the lobby. But just as I was about to head for the entrance I noticed a Toadette talking to the Hammer Bro secretary. Her eyes were filled with tears that streamed down along her cheeks and her left leg looked beaten up and her right arm as well. ''Please, I NEED to speak with the detective!'' She pleaded.

I walked up to her as Shawn caught up to me. ''What's the problem?'' I asked the secretary. ''She wants to speak with you, detective.'' He replied.

The Toadette looked at me with sadness covering her whole face, I asked Shawn to lead her to my office as I stayed with the secretary for a moment. ''Who is she?'' I asked.

The Hammer Bro shrugged. ''Dunno, she came limping through the entrance and said that she wanted to talk to you.''

I went back to my office where the Toadette now sat on a chair in front of my desk. I leaned against it as I looked at her. ''What's the problem, miss?''

''I... I got attacked, detective!'' She cried.

''That's terrible, what happened?'' I asked.

''Well... I was walking, it was late at night but I couldn't really sleep. And then out of nowhere something started attacking me. It was like a wild animal, but then I could hear it speaking, it had a very dark and scary voice and he said something but I didn't understand, it was like he was speaking some weird language. And after the attack some weird Dry Bones dressed in red cloaks started approaching me, I started to run, even if my leg was hurting like hell.''

Shawn and I looked at each oher with concerned faces. Then I turned my gaze back to Toadette's again. ''What happened then?''

''My house was nearby so I locked myself in. I had to wait a few hours before they went away, then I came straight down here!''

''Where did you get attacked?'' Shawn asked. ''Can you remember?''

She thought for a moment while sniffling. ''Yeah, it was by the town square, close to the pink gold peach statue.''

I pointed at Shawn. ''Shawn, get her to a hospital. I'm going there right now!''

''Wait-!'' Shawn said, but it was too late. I was already through the exit. Oh god, the dizziness won't stop! I walked calmly but as fast as I could to the town square. The statue was still surrounded by police tape, but I wasn't interested in the statue this time. I looked around everywhere until I noticed something weird on the ground: claw marks. Theese weren't your ordinary ''my dog did that'' claw marks. They were cut deep into the STONE. A little smaller than Bowser's claw size but not that far off. I searched around the marks, some vim was stained in them, probably belonging to the Toadette.

''Hi Waluigi!'' Someone said behind me. I turned around and saw Mario and Peach standing there smiling.

''Uh, hi guys...'' I said.

''What are you doing?'' Peach asked.

''Well, I'm on duty and trying to clean up a mess that just keeps getting bigger while having a gigantic headache.'' I sarcastically said and crossed my arms in annoyance. ''How's your life goin'?''

''We just wanted to see if you've-''

They stopped talking and looked at me worriedly. ''Hey, are you okay?''

No, I was so dizzy that I almost couldn't stand up anymore. ''Of course.'' I lied. ''Something wrong?''

''Your face is all pale, and you're having trouble keeping your balance...''

Uh oh, I think I'm going down...

Yep, I'm falling, my vision is fading and my nerves are numb. I can't see anything even if my eyes are clearly open, I can't feel anything even if someone stabbed me with a knife. Oh boy, I should've stayed home today. 

''Waluigi? Waluigi?!'' Mario yelled at me. I could first hear him clearly, but soon it all went quiet. My head was pounding and spinning. It felt like it was going to pop off my body at any moment now.

Then I couldn't feel anything.

I feel bad for making Waluigi feel this sick but it's too late now! Can't change my mind, let's just hope that he gets better soon. And what was that about all of that blood belonging to him? Scary... Anyway, please vote and comment! I really appreciate it alot and it makes me want to continue the story.
