Chapter 14: Cock Finders
Once again, this is a weird title but the group will ?, I shall not reveal the secret now.
Toady: Well you have some good points on the suspicions, I hope you're correct.
Previously on The Mole:
Steven and Parker was offered exemption for 20000 coins, they have a car race and the duo won, they got the exemptions, the Mole is still a mystery, all the players are trying their 100% while the Mole is trying -100 to find the Mole, they know who they are, what's next?

Everyone was at the dining room, Monty and Paratroopa came when they finish, "Hi players! Good morning!" Monty greeted, "Now please split into 2 groups, a group that loves finding things and a group who loves finding treasures. The friends will stay here, sorry." The friends sighed while everyone else started to chat.
Andy scratched his head, "Hey, I think I'll be in the um, treasure group, it sounds ok to me." Lily nodded.
"I'll be in the treasure group as well, it doesn't sound too bad." She told them, Frank shook his head.
"I'll be in the finding group, the other one sounds a bit appalling.
Vivian held her laughter, "Well I'm in the treasure group."
Flona scratched her head, "I'll be in the treasure group, no, Jenny, you be in it, I'm in the finding group." Jenny nodded.
"I'm fine with it." She told them.
"So sorted?" Monty asked as everyone nodded, "Well the finding group, follow Paratroopa and the treasure group follow me." Everyone nodded again, the treasure group went with Monty and the finding group went with Paratroopa. The friends went back to the rooms after they finished.
Vivian: I hope no one sabotages, we failed yesterday's mission already.
Lily: Well I'm off to treasure hunting!
Flona: What do we need to find? I'm not sure.
Parker: I wish we could win this one so that we can make up for yesterday's mission.
The treasure group arrived at a row of shops, Monty stopped them, "Players, this mission worth 15000 coins, your task is to find the treasure on the sheet and 1 hour later, I'll come and please show me the treasure, you can only give me ONE treasure, no more than that. Good luck." He gave Vivian a piece of paper, she opened it as Monty walked off.
Vivian began reading, "It says 'Find the lion of the sky.' What the hell?" Everyone began thinking, Jenny thought of something.
"Maybe it's in a toy shop! I heard there's a plane with a lion in it is now on the market!" Everyone went to the shop under Jenny's thought.
Vivian: Lion of the sky… I don't know…
Jenny: I can only think of toys when you ask me a weird clue like this.
The finding group came to a farm, Paratroopa smirked and folded his arms, "Well this challenge worth 15000 coins, there's 11 roosters hiding in the farm and you'll need to pick the best navigator who looks at clues and try to solve them, there's a 5000 coin rooster and 10 1000 coin roosters, catch them and I'll come to you, the navigator will be sitting on a roof and they look at PICTURE clues, pick the navigator, there's 1 hour for you to catch the roosters." Everyone rolled their eyes.
"Well I suck on navigating." Flona shrugged.
Frank shook his head, "Not me either, I also suck on it." Parker rolled his eyes once more.
"I pick Steven, he seemed to be the smartest out of the 4 of us." Steven smiled and went to Paratroopa, who guided him to a building.
Steven: I hope I can do well, I'm not the best navigator of the entire group.
Flona: Well I agree, Steven does seem smart, he used to pins, remember? But that's common sense if you have pins with you, and why will Kooper give him pins!?
The treasure group arrived at the toy shop, they searched around but after 10 minutes Vivian finally gave up and went to the owner, "Hi there are there still toys that looks like a lion in a plane left?" She asked, the owner, Kemek, nodded.
"It's over there, in front of that brown Birdo, see it?" Vivian gasped.
"Thank you." She rushed to Lily, who stood there.
Vivian: Lily have been standing in front of it right from the moment we came in, what's with her?
Lily: Vivian is rushing things a bit and she seemed to be coming towards me.
Vivian puffed, "Lily it's in front of you the ENTIRE time!" Lily was hit by realization as she frowned and took the toy out of the shelf. Andy and Jenny came back seconds later.
Andy: Lily didn't recognize the toy, she's standing in front of it the whole time!
Jenny: Talk about suspicious, Lily did not recognize the toy, it's very obvious.
The quartet went to check the item out, but Jenny was struck again by realization, "Guys!" She shouted when she caught up, "Let's find something else! Monty said it could be anything!" Everyone nodded and went to thinking.
Steven was looking at the pictures and the other 3 have microphones in their ears, Steven looked at the 1st picture, a plain rice mill with stripes on it, after 2 minutes, he figured it out, "One of the 1000 coin ones are in the windmill! While I'm figuring it out please wonder around and try to find some more.
"Got it!" Frank called and Steven could see Frank running to the windmill as the other duo started wondering around, Steven went to the next one, it's another 1000 coin one, he looked at the picture full of flowers.
Steven: Some of the clues are easy while some of the clues takes ages to figure out.
Frank: I can see the windmill with one of the roosters in it.
Frank grabbed the rooster as he heard a voice, "The next one is a 1000 coin one, it's in the flower garden."
Flona hurried to the flower garden and she grabbed the rooster. Parker nodded at this.
"I say we do the 5000 coin one." He told them, "It's too easy." Sound of flicking cardboard came out.
"Um, what?" Steven asked as he saw the painting, an egg.
Everyone wen different ways, they started to grab things that's related to sky or lion, but there are smart ones here.
Vivian:
Vivian grabbed heaps of things, anything that related to lion or sky and she came back with heaps of things after 30 minutes.
Vivian: These are enough, right?
Lily:
She wondered around, trying to find the real thing instead of the non-related things. After 30 minutes, she came back empty handed.
Lily: No, these things are not correct…
Andy:
Andy wondered around and brought back some photos that might be useful for the team, he also have some information that he got during this 30 minutes…
Andy: Well I got a piece of paper that is on the back of a photo, it says 'Kome at me, do better than rhis. –Mole'. Well this is fishy, the Mole knew how to spell, I'm only telling this to Vivian and I think they are going to say 'Come at me, do better than this. –Mole'.
Jenny:
Jenny used her brain and got a conclusion, she didn't show up in 30 minutes, but she is on her way to a poster shop to get a 'Leo' poster.
Jenny: This is it, 'the sky lion' is Leo, the zodiac! Now I just need to make it back in time…
While everyone was wondering where Jenny was and which treasure it is, the other group isn't going so well, they have only got 6 minutes left.
What happened during the 30 minutes:
Steven scratched his head in confusion, "Guys, it have an egg." He told them, Flona went brain-dead, Frank rolled his eyes as Parker shook his head.
Frank looked around and found a farmhouse, he went in and searched the place for the time being.
Frank: I think there's a rooster in the farmhouse, if I need to hide a creature, I think I'll hide it in a farmhouse.
Flona had a bit of ladies luck in the duck pond, she found a rooster in 25 minutes after a long search for roosters.
Flona: Well this is ladies luck! I added 1000 coins into the pot and I think I know where the rooster is.
Parker was at the farming area, where the plants grow, he looked around, trying to find a rooster but was attracted by all of the plants. There's soy beans, ice flowers, tomatoes and mole leaves around, interested, Parker went over to the mole leaves, he checked them out, but found nothing.
Parker: I was sure there's something wrong with these leaves but nothing's wrong with it, I wasted 30 minutes trying to find it out.
Steven understood the clue, "Guys! It's at the breeding shed, the keeping shed or the food storage!" He called out, everyone else went all over the place.
Frank and Flona went to the food storage, nothing's there.
Parker went to the keeping shed, a 1000 coin rooster was there.
Parker: Jackpot.
Frank, Flona and Parker raced each other to the breeding shed, Steven sweat-dropped at the ridiculous race that will grant you most likely nothing.
Someone fell over into the pond next to them.
Parker: Darn! Now I'm all wet!
The other 3 tried not to laugh at the epic failure, one of them opened to door and went in 1st and got the rooster.
Flona:…
Frank:…

And Frank got it.
Paratroopa met everyone except for Steven on the grass, "I see you got the 5000 coin rooster, Frank, you choose, the coins, or, an exemption?" Flona pace-palmed at this and Frank's eyes widened.
Frank: An exemption is very nice but I would also like the money, ugh, I can't make to choice.
Flona: I hope Frank reject it, it will be a lot tougher if 3 people have exemptions.
Parker: Wow, will he choose it or not? I mean, there's 3 exemptions is a single episode.
Steven: I donno, I'm safe, not that I like to see people go, but if it was me, I'll take it, who wouldn't?
After 5 minutes of brutal thinking, Frank made his choice, "Sorry, but I'm taking the exemption." Everyone else sighed as Paratroopa nodded and took the rooster then handed Frank an exemption.
Flona: Now Frank have the exemption, it's very hard for the rest of us you know.
Frank: Sorry, I really, REALLY, REALLY wanted the exemption, plus, 5000 coins doesn't sound like much, I mean, Vivian was offered an exemption for 10000 coins, Flona and Allen one each for 4000 coins, but 4 people's bags for a few hours and they think that they lose their bag. Andy's for 5000 coins, there's the '+1' Steven got by being the 1st one to arrive and the exemptions for Parker and Steven at the total of 20000 coins.
The time's up, "Frank used all of your remaining time to think, sorry, 4000 coins into the pot. Let's go back." Paratroopa told them, their jaws dropped as they walked back, deep in thought.
Steven: Frank rose by a lot on my list, he used all of our time left!
Parker: Well that was a fail, I hope the other team gets some money.
Team Pot:
72.000 coins
The other team had Jenny arriving just as Monty came, will they get theirs correct for 15000 coins?
Next time on The Mole: Saboteur Investigation:
Did they get theirs correct?
The next execution with 3 safe players, and is it's the worst, there's a 1/4 change for the other 4 to be executed if one of the 5 is the Mole.
There's the execution number 5.

Cliffhanger! Will they win since the money and only again like last time, the players failed dramatically and epically, there's an apology since I updated the high school one yesterday, I'll try to use the long weekend (YAY!) to make some progress on this fic, until next time!
