M is for Murder

Seeds soaked in blood were spread over the counter top, unusually large prints were left on the dusty floor which had not been cared for since Mr. Hooper's timely passing several months ago, with a sigh somewhat absent of disbelief, Constable Grover eyed a yellow feather under an eye-glass and ordered: "Send a car to the bird's house".

Deputies Ernie and Bert approached the dark clubhouse just before dawn and it was immediately obvious that Bird and Snuffy had fled.

The victim of the homicide was Maria, Bird's long time friend, neighbor and confidant. There were rumors that there had been tension since the night at Oscar's strip club where Gordon and bird had come to blows over the disrespect of Gordon's wife with his very presence at Oscar's.

Bird was known as a big tipper at Oscar's so Gordon was led out of "The Trash Barrel" and taken home where Maria had already spoken to Bird and was ready to leave Gordon.

Bird was broken, but this is only the very beginning of an intriguing series of events which would leave this member of CTN (The "Children's Television Network") in shambles, perhaps never to be rebuilt.
