Chapter 13
The Muppets looked through the Phone Book to find a local detective to help them out with the mystery. Unfortunately none of the results seemed satisfactory. "Lets see, there's Detective Dan," Kermit said, "and Sherlock Holmes, Hercules Poirot, John J. Fadoozle, Dirkk Gently, Secret Squirrel, and Sherlock Hemlock." They picked Hemlock because he was the closest they could get on such short notice.
After about an hour Sherlock Hemlock entered the room. "Alright now my good frog, what's all the trouble about?", Sherlock asked. "Well, Mister Hemlock, someone out there is murdering my friends, and it's threatening to destroy the show.", Kermit answered. "Plus, he framed me for the act." said Rizzo. Kermit handed the clumsy detective a piece of paper that had a list of all the victims so far.
Sherlock looked over the list thoughtfully, then asked if their was any connection between the deaths. "Well besides the fact, that their all my friends", Kermit said, "they were all helping the show behind the scenes." "I see', Sherlock said, "and do you know of anybody that would not want to see your show continued?" Sherlock asked. "Well, at least 4 people come to mind, Doc Hopper, Nicky Holiday, and Statler and Waldorf, they're always heckling the show from up in the balcony.", Kermit answered. "Well, maybe I should try to give these two old chaps a ring", said Sherlock as he left the theater, bumping into the door frame in the process.
Next Chapter: Statler And Waldorf and some more clues, but first, who can successfully identify which books, TV shows, or movies my list of detectives came from. Warning: A couple are probably a little bit obscure.
