Author's Note: Ok, I am SO sorry I haven't updated for 2 months. I just
moved to a new home, and I couldn't get my internet connection up for a
while. I'm back, though, and ready to rock! Expect the next update around
July 12th (and I mean it this time!)
Chapter 3: Investigation Begins
2:05 AM, Germany Museum
It was late night at the museum that got hit, and we had just arrived to check for clues. I watched as Alex tried opening the door, but to no avail. "This stupid thing won't budge!" she exclaimed. "Hold on, let me try," I replied. I walked up to the steel door, and with one swift kick, brought it down. The girls just stared on as the door fell. Then, all of a sudden, I heard a strange 6-tone beep coming from Sam's vanity thing. She opened it up, and what I saw amazed me; there was a lot of high-tech gadgetry on it. "Whoa! What kind of make-up kit is that?" I said to Sam. "Oh, yeah. That's my Compowder. It's kinda like a cell-phone, a video phone, a scanner, and a make-up kit all in one," she explained to me. I was about to reply, when I saw a flash coming from inside the museum. "Come on, girls, we'd better check this out before someone gets back!" I said, and with that, we went into the museum.
We had just started our investigation, but so far, no luck. That is, until... "Hey, I found something!" I exclaimed. All three girls rushed over to the now-empty jewel case. I picked up what looked like a hot water vial, and a piece of the broken glass casing. "Well, whoever it was sure was messy. Hey, Sam, can I borrow your Compowder? Maybe WOOHP can analyze this." She did so, and I put the glass piece and a few drops of the water onto the scanner. I pressed the video-phone button, and Jerry appeared on the screen. "Jerry, we've got something you might want to analyze," I said to him. "Anything else, Spies?" Jerry replied. "Not really, besides the fact that this place is trashed," I replied. "We'll keep in touch." I closed the Compowder and handed it back to Sam when I heard something nearby. We all turned around, looking for the source of the noise.
I looked behind Alex, whipped out my Tornado-Blast Hair Dryer, still set on full power, and aimed it around cautiously. Then, I saw Clover open her Compowder and do some readings. "I'm picking up some bio-readings in the west wing," she said. "Someone's still here," I said as I kept aiming the hair-dryer around. Then, I heard something behind us. I whipped around a full 360 and fired, sending up a dust storm so powerful that it blew a hole in the opposite wall, revealing another room, where I saw who it was- the museum curator, having been tied up when he saw the thief. "Whoa! Who could have done this to a museum?!" Alex exclaimed. She was right; this room was more of a wreck than the last one! I ran up to the curator and snapped his bondings with my Tempest Twist while Sam was checking the security cameras for evidence.
"Hey, what happened to you? This place is a mess!" I said to the curator. "It...was awful. The thief...slipped by security...and took the diamond..." the curator explained, still shaken up from the attack. "Why did the thief have his eyes set on this particular jewel?" I asked. "The topaz...is believed to have evil supernatural powers," the curator replied. I scoffed and said, "Figures. Hey, Sam, you have anything from the security cameras yet?" Sam had just hopped down from a ladder, holding her Compowder, which was linked up to the security cameras. "I sure do," she replied. "Check this out." We all leaned in close and watched the footage playing on the Compowder's screen. We saw a strange, glowing-blue-and-red man (possibly the thief) sneaking around at first. "Is it me, or is there a glitch in the camera? It's making that guy blue and red!" Clover asked. "Infrared film. I'd recognize that anywhere," I replied. Then, a few seconds later, the thief struck, cutting off the clip there. "Man, that was lame!" Alex exclaimed. "Maybe not, girls. Sam, can you rewind and take the infared out?" I asked. "Sure," Sam replied, doing so. When the replay started, we saw the thief for the first time- a middle-aged guy (somewhere in his 40s, with short blonde hair and a ripped-up traveler's uniform.
"Strange...why does that guy look so familiar?" Alex inquired. Then, all of a sudden, Sam's Compowder went off. Jerry was on the other end. "So, what you got, Jerry?" I asked. "It appears that the glass holding the jewel is made of a very strong ice, pretty much unbreakable," Jerry replied. "And the hot water vial?" Sam continued with a bit of edginess in her voice. "It seems that the criminal used the water to melt the ice case." I looked at the melted glass shard in my hand. "Yep. Look at the edges, girls," I said. They looked; the sharp edges had withered under the hot water that was used on it. "We've also got a strange video feed for you to look at, Jerry," Sam said, plugging the video feed cord from the security camera into the compowder's feed port. "Ok, girls. I think you should head back home for now. We'll call you if anything new comes up," Jerry explained. "Got it, Jer," Clover said before Sam disconnected and closed her Compowder.
As we walked outside, Alex asked me, "So, Nick, how's it feel to be part of the spy life?" I thought for a moment, then said, "Pretty cool. Only problem so far is that unexpected transporting that happens whenever it's mission time, like back at school." "Yeah, Jerry's been doing that since we joined WOOHP," Alex replied. Silence for a few seconds, then I asked, "So, Alex, what kind of missions did you girls attend to before I joined?" Upon my asking, the girls started telling tales of past missions until we reached our transport: the ultra-fast WOOHP Skyskimmer (S.uper K.ool Y.-Force S.ky K.icker I.n M.ultiple M.odes E.lectric R.ider) (A/N: I made the abbreviation up. I thought it would fit here. Oh, and by the way, for you TS! newbies, the Skyskimmer made its TV debut in the episode "Aliens".) After rising into the sky, we shot off at a speed that almost felt like the speed of light. We talked about each other all the way back to WOOHP in Beverly Hills.
Chapter 4: The Morning After (Or Before)
6:24 AM, Alex's House, the following morning
Alex was sleeping with a content smile on her face the next morning- problem was, it was 24 minutes past her waking point. She always gets up at 6 AM so she'll be ready for school. (She told me in the Skyskimmer last night.) A few minutes later, her Compowder rang. Waking up from her sound sleep, she sleepily grabbed her Compowder and pressed the on button. The video screen shifted to me in my room. This surprised Alex. "Nick? Is that you?" she asked, still rubbing the sleep from her eyes. "Yeah. Sam gave me a new Compowder last night before I went home," I replied. "Oh, I see."
School started, usual time. I had quite a lot of books for my new classes stacked up in my arms, so much so that I couldn't see Mandy coming until I collided with her, sending my books flying everywhere. She got up, brushed herself off, and started walking away. Now I was mad. "Hey, Mandy! Could you at least help me pick these up?" I shouted at her. "Why should I? I'm late for gym class!!" she shouted back. "You're the one who knocked me over! That's why!" I started picking up my books when I heard a beep on my Compowder. I took it out, opened it, and said, "Talk to me." "Nick? Where are you?" Alex's voice came over the speaker in the device. "I'm in the library corridor. Mandy knocked me over and she wouldn't help me pick up my books!" I replied. I could hear Alex groaning on the other end. "Is Mandy always like this, Alex?" I asked her. "Sometimes, it's worse. She likes to think she's popular as any big-time celebrity. Don't worry, I'll be right there," Alex replied. "Thanks. Nick out," I said before closing my compowder, cutting the line. "I have a feeling that being anywhere near Mandy is going to take some getting used to," I said to myself as I waited for Alex.

Ok, that's chapters 3 and 4, everyone. I know I haven't updated for a while. Ever since I completed my W.i.t.c.h. fic, "Revelations of Emphasis" (which can be found in the Misc. Books section) I've had a severe case of writer's block. Don't worry, though, I should have this story finished by the end of July to early August, I promise! Ok, I'll see ya around, everyone! Bye!
