The woman lay dead across the floor. the man lay dead across the floor, the carpet, while not ever actually being alive, lay dead across the floor, the floorboards..., well, you get the picture.
"There's been a murder!!!" said Space Baron, thoughtfully.
"Isnt that number of exlclamation marks overdoing an alleged "thoughtful" statement?" asked Brian inquisitively.
"Shouldnt gay men avoid asking questions inquisitively?" retorted Space Baron. "Come on lets go and solve this mystery."

"How did they die?" asked Space Baron.
"Who?" asked Police Chief FJ Gumby.
"The people who were killed."
"O they werent killed, this is a clear cut case of suicide."
"Even though they have knives in their backs?" asked Brian pointedly.
The police chief hit him. "Dont point that thing at me." he said.
As Brian faded into unconsciousness, Space Baron found out the police believed the man and woman had made a pact to kill each other at the same time.
"Thats stupid!" said Space Baron.
"Thats stupid!" repeated Brian, but drifted back into unconsciousness again, following a swift kick to his head from the police chief.
"I can solve this mystery." said Space Baron. He looked around the scene. "Hmmm, my first clue, this trail of blood, leading to the police chief's foot." he stood up. "I HAVE SOLVED THE MYSTERY!!" he declared.
"WE DECLARE INDEPENDENCE!" declared a small african nation sitting on the front lawn waiting for the number five bus.
"It was FJ Gumby, he must have killed both of them then set it up to look like a suicide. My first clue was the trail of blood leading to his shoes, this was also my second clue. The third clue was pretty much the same and clues four through eight just happened to coincide with this as well..."
"I would have gotten away with it if it wasnt for you kids." grumbled Gumby.
"What kids?" asked Space Baron. "Anyway dont interrupt. Clue nine was the blood. Ten, umm, yeah that was the blood, the blood trail featured highly in clues from eleven through to about eighteen...and nineteen, ..."
