"It wasn’t me," said the other human, equally confused. He put the blushing scientist
down.
"It was me," I calmly stated. They both looked alarmed, scanning the dirty, old stable.
"Maybe it was the murderer?!" screeched the forensic scientist, wildly searching for the
voice.
"Hello, down here!" I yelled.
The humans still look confused. I rolled my eyes, they really needed to use their intellect
that they are so supposedly known for.
"The millipede, I'm the millipede!" I shouted annoyed.
Humans, I thought sarcastically. "Yeah, I'm a millipede that talks, mate, get over it. Me
and my horse pals are sick of your squabbling! So quit it and find out who killed my buddy,
Jackie."
The humans looked at me, flabbergasted. The lack of intellect that they acquire is
astonishingly low.
"Ok, let's go through the formalities, my name is Theodore. Yes, I am a millipede, yes, I
am three times more sophisticated than you. What about you two?" He stated regally.
"I'm Zach, I'm the forensic scientist in charge of investigating the horses' murder,"
stuttered the nerdy guy in the white coat.
"I'm Leo, the cartoonist, I was supposed to draw the horse." the other red-headed human
mumbled.
"That's nice, but I really don't care. Well now that the formalities are over, let's begin
resolving your differences." I said, channeling my inner therapist.
"This man is contaminating my crime scene, and purposefully aggravating me. I can't
work under these circumstances. I shouldn’t be either." Zach complained. "I shouldn't be doing
this work, I am worthy of intruding and complicated cases, not a simple stabbing. On a horse."
"At least you can make a living out of this, I'm stuck with a low-income job and no
clients because no one wants professional drawings anymore. Cameras have made my job
difficult." Leo rebutted.
"Ok, stop. You think that this job is easy?" Zach accused.
"Can't be a miserable as mine." Grumbled Leo.
"Try me, it's horrible." Zach replied.
"Well, then, why don’t you swap places for a day..." Theodore interrupted. His smirk
wide, as his plan was finally coming to fruition. "If anything either of you have said is true, then
it should be easy. A day off if you will."
