NIGHT SHIFT AND FREEZE BLADE
PRIVATE EYE ADVENTURES
Chapter 1
THE THRIFT ART PART 1
It was a Tuesday like no other in skylands, rain was pouring down the side of the two story building while thunder boomed and lightning flashed across the sky. On the outside any passerby would have thought nothing of the grey brick building with its white brown roof sitting on the small next to an assortment of shops, but on closer inspection you would have noticed a window with an eye on it and the words NIGHT SHIFT AND FREEZE BLADE above the eye and below the eye it said PRIVATE EYES. Inside the first level of that building alone in the barely light room at an old oak desk just leaning back in his chair sat one of the two private eyes, night shift.
Now at first glance you would have thought he was just a normal guy, but if you look closer you would notice some distinct features about this private eye. He was actually a vampire with two large fangs that stuck out of his mouth all the way down to his chin, he wore a boxers robe on the upper half of his body along with a trench coat and detectives fedora and matching pair of huge boxing gloves with a white skull design on them along with a champion's belt that had a gold belt buckle. That also had a skull design on it but what else would you expect an undead element skylander to wear.
Those were not the only distinct features about the vampire, he also had grey skin with white sideburns on his face with slick white hair and pointy ears. Around his arms and lower torso he had white mist giving the impression that his arms and lower torso were made of mist. Finally the most distinguishing part about him was his eyes, they were pure white with no retina or pupils anywhere on them .He was listening to smooth jazz on the radio, he was oblivious to anything around him so nothing could ruin this moment in time for him.
CRASH! "WOAH" yelled night shift as he fell out of his chair when his partner came crashing through the door at the speed of a rocket.
"Hey 'shift, where are you?" said the second private eye, who had a peppy Brooklyn accent.
This private eye is a grey furred feline named freeze blade that stood on his paws like human feet and those feet were strapped into a pair of blades that were made of ice in the shape of blades that would be on a pair of ice skates. He wore a type of sleeve less track suit sort of clothing that was colored navy blue with gold metal rings around the ankles and shoulders while on the ankles had buckles for the straps to his skates. He also had wrist gauntlets made of ice that extended almost to elbow and an ice chakram to match attached to his back while he wore a mask, which was also navy blue, covered his eyes so they looked white like nightshifts but his hair was made of ice and was slicked back, He also wore a trench coat and a detective's fedora that matched night shifts.
"Oh I was just lying here on the floor when you crashed through here like a stampede of sheep" nightshift said in his Russianish accent while his sentence dripped with sarcasm as he wore a scowl on his face, but as always with freeze blade he is oblivious to undead sarcasm.
"Well get off your rump, because I just found us some work!" freeze blade exclaimed while shoving a newspaper article in nightshifts face.
"'Help wanted at magnificent scents, your first perfume destination'. Why would you want to go work a perfume store?" asked the unsurprised vampire with a deadpan expression.
"Oops, sorry wrong article I only had that one for the scratch and sniff stuff I swear" he said what could only obviously be a lie as he scratched the paper while smelling the scent "Ah vanilla, but no this is the right one." Said freeze blade retracting the article and shoving a different one in his face.
"'mabu city museum robed of famous paintings and replaced by thrift store purchased paintings'. Who would be crazy enough to try that, I mean that place has close to the same amount of security as kastle kaos." Said night shift.
"I know right? But the mabu police can't seem to crack the case and have called us in, they offered to pay us a sum of five thousand dollars for our services since this is the third museum robed in a month." Freeze blade replied, not able to hold the excitement out of his voice.
"How long do we have until we leave for the museum?" night shift inquired.
"We have twenty minutes to get ready before we leave for the museum and by that time we will have forty minutes to get to the museum, but with you hanging on to me and my speed we can get there in half the time." Replied freeze blade.
"Why do you need twenty minutes to get ready?" asked nightshift in a not exactly curious tone.
"My fur doesn't get this way just by magic you know, im a water element remember." Freeze blade said in a cocky tone.
"oy eon, if you can hear me up there, help me." Night shift said in an irritated tone looking up at the ceiling.
