Sorry for the delay. School sucks. CHAPTER FOUR!!!! Second to last chapter.
Chapter Four
Fujiko sat in the large Mirror Library, reading a French-English dictionary. If she could learn French she would be able to understand what people were saying. Fujiko didn't trust the house while Lupin wasn't there. She wished he was but he was out . She paused in reading for a moment remembering something Lupin had told her once.
Houses are alive Fujiko. They whisper and sometimes ,late at night, you can here them groan as though their having bad dreams.
Fujiko believed him. SnowMane moved at night and you could almost hear the house talking.
Jigen stood outside the curator's office, listening to every word.
"Please Curator...that brooch is a family heirloom. Please ,you have give it back to me," Lupin begged.
Jigen could hear tears ,real, honest to god tears, in his voice. It was awful to hear him upset. But then again this brooch was very important to him.
"I'm sorry Lupin. Your father said that your mother's will wanted us to have it-"the Curator began.
"That's wrong!! My mother's will said it was to come to me! Please you have to give it back to me," Lupin contuied to beg ,tears beginning to fall.
A hour later ,the partners where heading back to the house. Lupin was quiet, his hazelnut eyes brimmed with tears. Jigen looked at him and realized how young Lupin really looked. But he'd been through a lot. No matter what Jigen was going to help Lupin get his brooch back.
"Master Goemon sir! Wake up!"
The samurai jumped as the old nurse shook him into wakefulness.
"What?" He asked
"Master Lupin wants you in the Diamond Study," Helen said.
"Where's that?"
"The knights will guide you." That said she disappeared .
Goemon frowned. He didn't like this house. There was a darkness here. Something was not right. At lest to him. Lupin had grown up in this house so he would notice a change but the others would not.
Once they were gathered in the study there was the second awkward silence since they arrived. Lupin was in deep thought and when he spoke his voice was like many ringing bells.
"I have a plan. It's not complicated but you might not understand it at first."
Lupin's plan involved a lot of stealth and alit of daring. It would take a few hours to put the plan in order. The Gentleman Thief wanted to get the job done by 2 am.
Lupin had maps of the lighthouse and the museum .
Many hours later ,Lupin ,Jigen and Goemon entered the lighthouse through an open window. Fujiko remained with the getaway car. The three men split up and went separate ways. Lupin twisted his way through the maze of hallways till he slid to a halt. He'd found his prize.
Zennigata ,having woken up ,found himself in the same building. The Paris police were looking for Lupin. Might finally catch the bustard, he smiled.
Lupin pocketed his brooch and hurried out of the room. He slid into the shadows and hurried along hoping his ploy worked. It apparently had ,until he came to a dead end . Lupin was in a medium size corridor with a stained glass window in front of him.
"Don't move !!!"
He looked behind him. A sergeant ,with about 50 police officers ,guns at ready, stood behind him. He turned with a smile.
Lupin's face was set and determined. He pulled out a small button and pressed it.
Outside ,on a small hill Fujiko waited by a car for her friends. She saw two figures scale the wall and watched in horor as a third fall from a third story window.
