I always like suspecting Jack. He's been such a perpetual load in my pants since day one of the Exile.
~ Bigby Wolf to Snow White


"Chapter Two: The (Un)Usual Suspects" is the second issue of Fables, with a cover date of August 2002. It was published on June 12, 2002.[1]

Publisher's summary

Bigby Wolf, Fabletown's one-man police force, interrogates some shady suspects for Rose Red's probable murder, including Bluebeard, a known ladykiller...literally. Snow White reveals the salacious act that destroyed not only her marriage but her relationship with her sister, and penniless philanderer Prince Charming decides to sell his royal title over the internet.[1]

Plot

The story starts the day after the events of "Old Tales Revisited." Colin, one of the Three Little Pigs has escaped from The Farm and spends the night at Bigby's apartment. He says Bigby owes him for his attacks before the General Amnesty. But there are limits to Bigby's patience, and he is sending Colin back to the Farm. Colin however escapes before he can be returned.

Bigby discusses the case of Rose Red's murder with Snow. He says that while the blood found in Rose's apartment is hers, he doesn't know yet if she has actually been killed. He also tells Snow he considers her a possible suspect. Cinderella is taking fencing lessons from Bluebeard and tells him about Rose Red's death. Prince Charming leaves Molly's apartment, after "borrowing" some money from her and asking her to do his laundry. He meets with Snow White for lunch at the Eggman. Charming wants her help in selling the title to his lost kingdom.

Bigby and Snow interrogate Jack. He says that Rose and him had argued a year before, and she had dated Bluebeard for a while. Jack says that he then reconciled with Rose, and that Bluebeard might have killed her for going back to Jack. Bigby and Snow then go to interrogate Bluebeard. Bigby openly accuses Bluebeard of murdering Rose. Bluebeard angrily denies this and says they had not broken up. He offers proof that they were secretly engaged to be married and says that he will be offering a million dollar reward for the capture of her killer.
