A/N: Hi! As you can probably guess from the title, this is going to be a very fun and interesting case. The s in parenthesis has most likely caused great concern for all the dragons involved.

Sunny's POV

Sunny had not know what to expect when she was told that the head chef was killed in an unconventional way. She had also been unable to predict who was screaming and why. Sunny found out the answer to the screaming first.

It turns out Deathbringer, for all his smugness, did indeed, like Glory claimed, have an odd fear of scavengers.  Or, at least that's what Sunny assumed when Deathbringer ran past her from the direction of the kitchen yelling something around the lines of, "THE SCAVENGER HAS TINY DEATH WEAPON!"

What in the world is happening in the kitchen? Sunny wondered as she hurried to the kitchen where the murder happened. She found Smolder and another Sandwing there.

"Why was Deathbringer screaming about scavenger death weapons?" Sunny asked. 

"Flower made a little tool and waved it at him. Why he ran away screaming though, I have no clue," Smolder said, "Anyway this was head chef Coyote."

Sunny looked at the poor dragon's body and quickly saw what the 'unconventional' thing was.

"How in the world did they kill him with a spatula?" Sunny asked, "How is any spatula possibly sharp enough to go into someone's neck?"

"Maybe they sharpened it?" Suggested the other Sandwing.

"Who are you?"

"My name's Ra. It's the name of a god Sandwings used to believe in around the Scorching." Ra quickly explained, "I'm going to help with Coyote's family matters and things."

"Well I'm going to go hunt down Deathbringer and start working on this case." Sunny sighed, not particularly happy about having to look for Deathbringer.

"You won't have to look far." Smolder said pointing to the window. Deathbringer had his head in the window and was cautiously eyeing Flower. He looked up at Smolder before slowly sinking out of view.

"Meet me at the office." Sunny said before leaving.

Deathbringer's POV

Okay, so maybe I overreacted. But then again when your standing next to a dragon killed by a spatula and then a scavenger waves a spatula like thing at you running and yelling to warn others is perfectly acceptable, Deathbringer reasoned.

Deathbringer landed at the office door and went in. Sunny made it about five seconds before bursting in to laughter.

"Tiny Death Weapon?" She managed to get out after a few attempts. 

"It was small, pointy, and could have been a weapon!" Deathbringer grumbled.

"Okay. Whatever you need to say- just give me a minute then we can work on the case."

After a few minutes and lots of grumbling and laughing- the grumbling done by Deathbringer and the laughing done by Sunny- they got to work on the case.

"The kitchen was a mess, like a fight had happened." Sunny said tacking up a note.

"They probable tried to kill Coyote with something more practical and ended with the spatula." Deathbringer deducted relieved to be off the topic of the scavenger incident.

"We should start asking around now but at least we have one likely suspect." Sunny said grinning.

"Who?" Deathbringer asked.
