The brutal murder of Yvonne shocked the diplomatic retinue. Everyone demanded answers. They spent the day arguing with each other, attempting to root out the hidden Assassins in their retinue. Arguments turn to accusations and recriminations and eventually everyone turns on the most quiet of their group - Ketchum.

The Diplomats drag Ketchum outside, kicking and screaming. They order the guards to set up a rope and noose from a nearby tree. Ketchum struggles hard, protesting his innocence and begging the others to calm down and see reason. They do not. The guards string the screaming Ketchum up by his neck. He thrashes on the end of the rope, legs and arms waving in the air as he attempts to free himself. Eventually his body stills and he hangs there, swinging in the breeze.

The other Diplomats raid Ketchum's tent, looking for evidence he was responsible for the murder of Yvonne, but find nothing.

Ketchum the innocent Diplomat was executed.


That night, there were sounds of creeping and skulking around the delegation. The unknown figures were quietly arguing in whispers.

"I say we go for the quiet one."

"No, he's no danger. Let's go for the noisy one!"

"No, no, no...he's too obvious. Besides, the boss says we have to leave him alone."

"I say we get the rich guy."

"Alright, shut up! Everyone knows how it works, it has to be unanimous. Now here's how it's gonna work...."

It was decided in a few minutes. The assassins crept off to do their grisly work. The next morning, the body of one of the Diplomats was found in his tent, murdered.

Slapsticks the innocent Diplomat was murdered.
