A chill ran through the air that evening, everything out of place. Lucy was in her home that night with a self-knit blanket and a warm cup of cocoa. Her pager buzzed, she put down the mug and picked up the ringing device. A message from Alfendi read:
'COME HERE ASAP, NEW CASE. IMPORTANT'
'This must be bad if he's expecting me at this hour.' Lucy thought, as she noticed the clock on her wall ticked to 11:24 PM.
Lucy scrambled off the lounge, grabbed her coat and as quick as a flash, was out the door.
"Ello..Taxi!" She waved her hands frantically.
Finally a Taxi pulled over to company Lucy.
"Take me t' Scotland yard, please" She said, smoothing out the ruffles on her coat.
In no time at all she arrived at the Mystery Room, it was like a Ghost Town not a single person in sight. The only thing she could see was Al's worn down car in the car park. As Lucy was just about to turn the knob on the door it swung open and she barely missed being hit by it. She saw Alfendi sitting in his chair, he looked uncomfortable-more uncomfortable then usual.
"Eh what's up, Prof?" Lucy tried to loosen the tension.
"Haha. Very funny, another reference I hear, Lucy?" Said Al in a sarcastic tone.
"Are you alrigh' Prof?" Asked Lucy.
"No. I'm not alright, Lucy. I need your help." he said sadly.
Silence hung over the room until someone spoke again.
"Lucy, I feel... lost..." Alfendi said in a low voice.
"Why what happened?" Lucy said.
"He's gone. There is no hope.."
"Who's gone Prof?" Lucy said walking over to Al.
Lucy held Prof's hand tightly, resting her head oh his shoulder.
"It's Placid he's gone..." Said Alfendi.
"What, but he cant be"
"Come here Lucy."
She sat on his lap in silence and eventually they both fell asleep.

Years passed and Lucy got used to Potty's continuously flirting. More years went by and Lucy was all dressed in white. While Alfendi was waiting in another room dressed in formal clothing. Lucy walked down the isle and approached Al, but at that moment something was different. Prof didn't comment about her scarlet eyes, or about her luscious brown hair. Instantly Lucy knew, after 7 years Placid was back. She gave Al a big hug.
"I do."
Bells went off, tears were shed and in the end it was all worth it.
The End :)
