A Serial Killer in Duckburg

Chapter Two

Emma was now an adult,working as an intern for the Duckbux Company in St.Canard.The Richie Rich Serial Killer had been leaving the dead bodies of millionaires,billionaires, and occasionally,trillionaires behind.And yet,nobody seemed to link the murders to Emma,despite that fact that she was in every place that they happened.
Perhaps it was because she was a hummingbird,after all,hummingbirds had a reputation for being sweet,loving creatures,so a hummingbird being a serial killer would be crazy.Or perhaps it was because people were familiar with her parents' murders,which was still unsolved, and sympathize with her.Whatever the reason,Emma didn't care, she had perfected her method of killing while in boarding school.
Admittedly,it was difficult,but Emma figured it out in the end.She knew when she left school she would be an adult,or close to it,so brutal murder was no longer an option,So she had to go with another option.That option was poison.But not any poison would do,the fastest acting poison in the world,which was Tetrodotoxin.There were a few missteps trying to figure out how to kill somebody with it, but in the end,as mentioned before,Emma figured it out, and the school cook got arrested for unintentional murder.Something that greatly amused Emma.
Which was why Emma was in the break room of the Duckbux Company.It was time to make her move,thankfully she was alone as she searched for Mr.Duckbux's lunch.
'There it is.' thought Emma when she found the Tupperware with her boss's name on it.
It was a difficult task,putting the Tetrodotoxin on his sandwich.Emma knew there was a possibility that anybody could come by any moment.But more importantly,getting the Tetrodotoxin was difficult to do.
'Done.' thought Emma as she put Mr.Duckbux's lunch back, and then grabbed her own.
"Ah,Emma,nice to see you here!"said Mr.Duckbux as he walked into the break room.
"Nice to see you too!"said Emma with a smile.
"Just grabbing my lunch!Love my wife's tuna sandwiches!"said Mr.Duckbux as he left.
"You won't love them for much longer."whispered Emma with a smirk on her voice,knowing full well what will happen in a few hours.

The police,and for some reason,Darkwing Duck,along with his two sidekicks were on the scene when Mr.Duckbux was carried away in an ambulance to the hospital a few hours after eating the tinted food.
"Does anyone know what happened?"asked a police officer.
"No. I went into Mr.Duckbux's office so he can sign some papers, and there he was-convulsing on his floor!"said his secretary.
"You don't think this is the work of The Richie Rich Serial Killer,do you?"another officer asked the first.
"I do indeed!"interrupted Darkwing,as if the officer was talking to him. "I've been keeping a track of the Richie Rich Serial Killer on my super computer,W.A.N.D.A., and the killer seems to be working their way up to the richest people in the world.And when you add the fact that they use poison,the Richie Rich Serial Killer is most likely to be a woman."
"Thank you,but we'll stick with the F.B.I.,not a costume wearing weirdo."said one of the officers.
Darkwing waddled away,fuming.He was trying to help the police, and yet, they mocked him!
"Oh,don't worry about it,DW,if the cops knew what they were doing then the Richie Rich Serial Killer would have been caught by now."Launchpad said,trying to comfort Darkwing.
"That's not the point. I'm trying to help them, and all they did was brush me off!"complained Darkwing.
"Why don't we help these people find new jobs,instead?"suggested Gosyaln. "I'm sure they'll be appreciative."
"Yeah!We can get them jobs at Mr.McDee's company!"said Launchpad.
Darkwing suddenly looked in Emma's direction.
"Um,let's move over here."said Darkwing,pushing Launchpad, and Gosyaln in the opposite direction of Emma.
"LP, I don't think it's a good idea for us to suggest they work for Scrooge McDuck."said Darkwing.
"What?Why?"asked Launchpad.
"I noticed that one of the employees is Emma Hummingbird."
"So?"
"I've been studying the Richie Rich Serial Killer case,trying to spot a pattern, and noticed that all the murders happened where Emma Hummingbird are."said Darkwing,failing to realize that Emma was eavesdropping on their conversation, and not liking what she was hearing.
"Why don't we just suggest that they get jobs to Duckburg?"suggested Gosyaln. "There's three billionaires in the city.What are the chances that Emma,if she is the Richie Rich Serial Killer,would go after Scrooge?He's pretty well-known."
"You have a point.It'll be stupid to go after Scrooge."said Darkwing.
"What about the other two?"asked Launchpad.
"I don't think anybody would really care if Mark Beaks got murdered."said Darkwing.
"I know I wouldn't."added Gosyaln.
"Okay,so we tell Mr.Duckbux's employees that they can find jobs in Duckburg."said Launchpad.
"And I'll have Fenton give me regular updates on Emma Hummingbird if she chooses to go to Duckburg."said Darkwing.
"Then it's decided."said Launchpad.
Unfortunately,their news was met with mixed results.Some people had no problem with the possibility of finding in Duckburg.Some,in fact,ecstatic,as it meant there was a possibility of working for Scrooge McDuck,which was a golden job opportunity.Others however,were a bit more hesitant about taking up a job in Duckburg.
Scrooge wasn't just the richest person in the world,he was also a renowned adventurer,which meant trouble for Duckburg on occasion.Flying golden dragon,giant beanstalks,people getting attacked by their own shadows were just the surface.The Moon invaded because of Scrooge's refusal to listen to his nephew,Donald,about the Spear of Selene.A international evil organization kidnapped multiple people around the world solely because of their association with Scrooge.There was no arguing with the man who founded F.O.W.L.-Scrooge McDuck's adventures were dangerous.
It was amazing that he wasn't more hated.The only explanation was his vast wealth.
But Emma didn't care.Darkwing Duck was right about her-she is the Richie Rich Serial Killer-but the fact nobody believed him gave her more opportunity to strike at her next target.
The person who was responsible for her parents' absence from her life, and workaholic ways.
Scrooge McDuck.
