Chapter 16 - 16. Investigate

In the Vanguard station,

Noon,

Jeff Hardy, sitting on a chair claiming to grab a newspaper, gradually mimics his mate's coughing awkwardly.

With that, he resumed to read. Mr Andrew has a huge pressure of work on his shoulders. Andrew was not interested in any other work than doing this.

Miss Janet was passing through a wardrobe. One of the drawer was already opened. She was checking some files while walking onwards and then backwards.

Henry was sitting there on the steel chair was thinking about the mysteries.

Today they will go to Zach's home for some intimate discussions with her mother about the murders.

They will go just after the lunch.

" Gero nigero, Two people were hunged in Cahm Kingdom yesterday. It says, they tried to thief a property of royalty, that's indeed a hung. It is not mentioned clearly what they tried to thief. "

Jeff spoke what the newspaper said.

" That thing might be something they don't wanna show to public. However, I am starting to starve. "

Mary chuckled looking at Henry.

That guy was sleeping while opening his eyes. Straight looking at the documents Infront like he is reading it in intense.

Jeff threw a paper aeroplane which hit Henry's forehead, making him wake.

He was not sleeping at all, the thoughts of these mysterious ones made him intentional less. Specially Mimi suddenly getting missing.

" Huh? Did something wrong happened? "

" Get up. Let's go for lunch. I know hotel near this station. "

Jeff said.

Everyone stood up and started to move on.

Walking in street they were gossiping about their daily life. Jeff is just a random guy suffering in pain.

His parents are in Coma. They both faced a life taking incident but luck was on their side that day. He wants to make bring his parents back, how? It's been three years...

Three went in a hotel. They enjoyed hotchpotch with some salad and omelettes there.

They came back after finishing the meal.

Jeff and Henry were fighting eachother to pay the bill. Hopefully, Mary stopped them.

They both shared the bill.

They went to the station again and took permission from Andrew before going to Zach's home.

Three of them went in a carriage, of course, Jeff was the coachman. Since Henry and Mary are new here. They never derived a carriage.

...

After making there way to their destination Mr Coachman stops the carriage. After Henry and Mary gets off, Jeff goes to park the carriage in a side.

Henry and Mary went in front of the door and knocked it gently.

Some seconds concluded, a middle aged woman opened the door.

" Uh.... How can I help you? Is there any problem? " She said.

" Not a problem, we are just here for question-answers if you don't mind, madam."

Henry said while acting like a gentleman.

" Come in. You sit on the sofa, I am making deserts. I just made some cookies for my childre— " She stopped, suddenly.

" No thanks, Madam. We had our lunch right now. "

Mary understood the situation and tried to change topic.

" Hehe, Your home looks very clean. Is there any domestic animal? I used to pet one dog when I was a kid. "

Mother was standing beside the door, it was opened. She was about to close doors. At some time Jeff crash landed into house mat. She closed the door.

" What are you doing? Arrogant intelligent? Can you be polite for a second. "

Henry mocked at Jeff.

Jeff gets up saying, " You better see your own shit, Wisest stupid! "

Mother chuckled seeing their childish quarrel.

Three sat on the same sofa. While Mother sat on a wooden chair.

Three gave their introduction to her.

" Hmm.... Can we continue our conversation? Ask me. "

" With respect and jealousy of knowing, the first question is..... Did your do any other things except for doctorate? "

Henry asked with seriousness in his eyes.

" No, you know Henry. You came to my home several times. "

" Okay, next question, Did your father had any enemies? If yes, who are they? "

Asked by Mary.

" No. As I much know him, he never had enemies. He is not that kind of person. He barely used to engage in conflicts. "

" Did he left anything he used to hide from everyone? "

Jeff asked itching his palm.

" N— maybe..... I would not tell you that. Just because Henry is there, I can't count on you. Wait, I am coming from the basement. "

Mother left the spot. They were waiting.

A little girl in light blue dress came near to Henry slowly. She had a doll in her palm.

" Wer iz my brather? Do u kno? I mis him so much. Wil u ply wit me? "

Looking her eyes, Henry could see the emptiness in her heart, that shouldn't be there. Henry patted her.

" Not now, but I promise. I will come back to play with you later. "

Jeff and Mary said, " What about us? "

Henry smiled. " Go and play with toys. I will come to play with you very soon. "

Little girl slowly crawled and left the room.

After some minutes, mother came with a diary which is locked from outside.

She sat on her chair. Handed the diary to Jeff. Jeff tries to open the diary using his all strength but failed.

" What is in there? A monster? "

" I don't know either. He never showed me inside of it too. I guess, you can take it. "

Everyone stood up. " Thanks Madam, for having patience. " Mary said.

" No, it's not a big deal. You can come again if you want. "

After this, everyone goes outside of the door. Mother gave some deserts to three separately. She farewelled them.

....

They went back to the station. They met Andrew and explained him everything they heard. When Jeff pulled diary out from his jacket,

Andrew was stunned for a moment, it was like he just had a heart attack.

" Take it to the ' Artifact Room ' also show them. "

" Roger that " Jeff threw a salutation.

...

There is a stair down to the underground.

' Artifact Room ' is where they reserve all the things ungiven. It is like a futuristic lab.....

Some researchers are working. There were some kind of species in big tube reserved unconscious. It looked like extraterrestrial.

Mary and Henry explored the whole place. They went to a empty slot.

There was a cage type of something square and made of glass to cover the object.

Jeff puts the diary there and closes the cage. Jeff sighed.

" We need to investigate more..... "

Mary was excited for this new journey.

" What now? " Henry sighed.

" Lick your own cucumber. "

Jeff said with a bored expression.

" What did you said? "

Henry knocked back.

" Nothing, he was thinking to eat cucumber in dinner, haha. "

Three started going upstairs, but,

Jeff slipped and fall but he didn't look away.

Henry gave a hand for him.
