The Mystery: Chapter Two

Akira: Well I thought you'd be here...

Yuni (troubled look): But, why? Why did you come?

Akira (glared at Yuni's eyes): I thought that there was a problem.

Yuni (stepped back further): Um, there is not a problem...

Akira: There is a problem, don't hesitate to tell me...

Yuni quickly ran into the conference room to tell the team who was at the door.

Yuni: Guys, Akira is at the door.

Rage: Nice try, Yuni.

Yuni: No I mean it, he's at the door!

Rage: Let's just find out.

Rage stood up and walks up to the front room. There, he found Akira sitting down on the couch.

Rage (Shocked): Akira, what are you doing here?

Akira: I came to attend the meeting...

Rage: I thought you were busy.

Akira: Well, you must expect unexpected things.

Rage: You can come to the conference room to join the meeting...

Akira: O.K.

Akira stood up from the couch. Rage was surprised when he have stood up. He was five feet taller than the last time he have met him. Rage has quickly walked to the room and Akira was walking behind him, staring at him. When they have reached the conference room, the team was surprised to see him.

Emi: Akira, you're five feet taller that Rage!

Akira (Look over at Emi): Do you have a problem with that?

Emi: ...No.

Yuni: Were have you been in the last couple of years?

Akira: You don't want to know.

Izam: I thought I never say this, but you are creepier than the last time I saw you!

Akira: (Gave Izam a dirty look)

Izam: O.K., I'll take it back!

Charmy: I say that we stay up this night to find the shadow!

Boldo: Why would the shadow want to go here?

Afro: I already told you. One of us may be responsible for the tragedy that has happened four years ago on March 6th.

Lady (With a troubled look): What today's date?

Afro: March the 6th.

Lady: Well the shadow could look here... tonight.

Alex: And he could change us to stone, one by one. (Scared look)

Rage: Now everyone, don't panic.

Emi: How can we calm down if the shadow could turn us to stone, forever!

Johnny: I would just trap him.

Jannet: How could we trap a shadow?

Johnny: I have no idea.

Charmy: Hey, does anyone want pizza?

Alex: As longer you don't get sausage!

Charmy: O.K., I'll get cheese then.

Charmy rolled her self to the front door. When she tried to open it, it was locked. She looked for the lock, but strangely there isn't one at the doorknob...

Charmy (Yelling from behind): Hey, Rage, when did you change the doorknob?

Rage: I didn't, why.

Charmy: Well you may want to look at this.

Rage and the rest of the team quickly walk to the front room. Charmy show them the doorknob that has no lock. Rage, was getting suspicious. Tracy ran to the backdoor to see the doorknob have changed too.

Rage: O.K., if I didn't change the lock, then who did?

Ni-Na: Maybe it was that shadow.

Rage: How could a shadow open the door? If you ask me, this doesn't make any since!

Yuni (Look out in the window): I not sure about you, but I'm just worried that the power will go off. Then we could not see the shadow...

Izam: Even worse, it could turn us to stone and we don't even know what else to do?

Johnny: May be it could control people

Afro: Or even teleport people to their doom.

Yuni: Stop, you're scaring me!

Akira (Yelled): Stop it!

The rest of the team was silent. Tracy came to the front room to tell them something about the doorknob.

Tracy: I regret to tell you this, but the other door was locked too...

Lady: Is there's a way to unlock it?

Izam: Well someone could go out by the window to unlock it.

Ni-Na: That's a good idea but who can fit?

Izam: We know that Akira can't fit the window, because he's too tall!

Akira: (Gave Izam another dirty look.)

Izam: You don't have to take everything so seriously! (Runs to the back office.)

Akira: I will be right back...

Yuni: Please, no-

Akira (Interrupted): I would be careful whom are you talking to, Yuni.

Yuni: (Gasped)

Akira went through the door that was behind Yuni, to the hallway.

Rage: O.K., we can't go outside, what worse could it get!

When Rage said that, the power blinks off. Yuni and Emi, held on together, and the rest started panicking.

Lady: Why did you have to say that?

Emi: At least I have eight flashlights.

Astro: Good, then each couple will take one.

So each member from one couple took one flashlight. Rage then comes up with a plan.

Rage: O.K., there are eight couples so four of them will take the first floor and the other four will search the second floor.

Yuni: O.K., but have anyone seen Izam and Akira?

Izam (Screaming): HELP!!!

Emi: Oh, no Izam!

Rage: Quick, to the back office!

So the team went to the back office to see what's wrong with Izam. When they got there, however, they were shocked.

Ni-Na (Shocked): Oh, my...

Evil Zukin: I guess that the shadow have picked the first victim...

Lady (Look over to Rage): Well do you have any ideas?

Rage: The only thing I have to say is that we need to find this shadow and talk to him before it's too late.

Emi: How are you going to talk to a shadow?

Rage: I don't know, but I must find a way...
