Dr Dave And The Train Of Death

We sped to Victoria Horsetrainer's cabin. Dr Dave knocked the door once then kicked it down. I was going to ask him why he ever bothered knocking, but he seemed to be in a hurry. Inside we found Horsetrainer and Napier sitting beside each other playing Tetris on two linked Gameboys. They did not look surprised to see us.

"So we come to it at last," said Horsetrainer.

"The reckoning," said Naiper, overly-dramatically.

"I know you have the anti-aging soap," said Dr Dave.

"That soap will lead to genocide against horses and humans with horse faces!" said Horsetrainer.

"Theft is still theft!" said Dr Dave, firmly.

"I never stole it!" said Napier. "Ha! That's flumoxed you!"

"You probably lying, THIEF!" I said, boldly.

"He isn't lying," said Dr Dave. "For there is honour amongst theifs. They follow a strict code. They never lie about stealing anti-aging soap."

"Exactly," said Naiper, smugly.

"Well, it seems your business here is DONE!" said Horestrainer.

"No," said Dr Dave. "Because it wasn't Napier who stole the soap. It was...YOUR TRAINED PONY."

Everyone gasped, including me. The pony walked into the room, holding the soap in its mouth. Dr Dave took it from him.

"That was very polite of the pony," I observed.

"FINE," said Horsetrainer, fuming with anger. "You've got me! I hired Napier as a distraction so that nobody would know it was my specially trained pony who REALLY stole the soap. Arrest me, then!"

"Or I could do this," said Dr Dave. And he marched to the bathroom and flushed the soap down the toilet.

"I hope it doesn't clog the plumbing!" I said.

"Why?" asked Horsetrainer.

"Because you were right," said Dr Dave. "This soap is too dangerous to be allowed to exist. Now I will forget what you did and what your pony did as long as you don't tell anyone that I destroyed the soap.

"DEAL!" she said. Then went back to Tetris. Dr Dave and I left.

"Well, that about wraps things up," said Dr Dave. "Slightly earlier than I was expecting. Seems like there should be another thing happening, really..."

"You talked a robot to death! Arrested two pop twins! Met a pony that's a traine thief! I think that's enough adventures for one day! I'm going back to the room," I said.

"I'm going to smoke my pipe with a man," said Dr Dave, nodding. He walked away. I went into our cabin. I shut the door, then noticed someone was lying on my bunk.

"Bonjour!" said the Busty Maid. What did she want!

"What do you want!" I said.

"Haven't you been able to tell that I'm coming onto you?" she asked.

"No!" I said. "I'm hopeless at stuff like that!" She really was very attractive.

"Come and join me on the bottom bunk," she said. I walked towards her, nervous.

"So...are you French or not?" I asked.

"You can find out if I kiss like a French person..." she said. I leaned towards her...and she pulled a knife out from her cleavage.

"What!" I said.

"Time to die, Wackson!" she said in an AMERICAN accent.

"You really are a trained assassin posing as a busty maid!" I said.

"Oui!" she said, and stabbed at me.

TO BE CONCLUDED
 
I dodged to the side, my patented move to avoid stabbings. "Dr Dave has taught me a few things, you know!" I said to the Busty Maid. She was arrogant if she thought she was going to kill me with the first stab! But she circled round me and stabbed again. I jumped to the side once more, but now I was backed up against the bunk beds. Curse her tactics!

"It's nothing personal," she said, cruelly. "I'm just doing my job. THE JOB I LOVE." But the I heard the door to the cabin opening. It must have been Dr Dave, I thought! I was saved! The busty maid turned away from me then lunged at the person who had come in. But then the maid staggered back, a pair of chopsticks in her bust. It was not Dr Dave who had saved me, it was Tisiphone!

"You!" I said, as the Busty Maid lay gaspy at my feet. It was hard to breathe after being stabbed in the chest by chopsticks.

"I came looking for Dr Dave," said Tisiphone, emotionless. "I didn't want things to end between us that way. But then I saw you entertaining this young lady..."

"She's a trained assassin and a rotter!" I said.

"Well, she'll probably be dead soon," said Tisi. "You better question her quick." Then Dr Dave pushed Tisi out of the way, rudely, for he'd just arrived in the doorway and had heard everything. He grabbed hold of the busty dying maid.

"TELL ME WHO SENT YOU," he shouted.

"Ha," she laughed. "He said you'd be rattled. He told me everything that would happen, like he knew it all in advance. Except...I was supposed to live." She said the last part sadly. Then died.

"I feel sorry for her," I said. "She killed many people in her career as an assassin, I'm sure, but the one death she did not see coming...was her own."

"It was all about this," said Dr Dave, completely ignoring my profound statement. "A masterplan...by a mastermind."

"Tisi's gone!" I said, noticing that she was gone. "You shoudln't have pushed her so rudely!"

"There's only one person who could have done this," said Dr Dave, still ignoring me.

"So you're saying someone invited us onto the train and arranged the murder of Professor Rhino..." I started, but Dr Dave interrupted.

"No, the murder of Rhino would have happened anyway. But as the Busty Maid said, the mastermind behind all this knew everything that was going to happen. He invited us onto this train knowing that I would solve the murder of Rhino, knowing that solving that murder would distract me and allow the Busty Maid time to kill you! Except she failed...but maybe he knew that would happen too. Maybe he wanted you to survive as a warning, so that I would know that you, that nobody, is safe..."

"Who, Dr Dave, of who do you speak!?" I demanded to know."

"There's only one person who could have done it," said Dr Dave. "My brother. Dr Dace."

I fainted in shock.

THE END

BUT DR DAVE WILL RETURN...IN 2016
