THE HOUSE OF MYSTERIES CH.4
Megan remained on the bench watching Lupin walk off. She heard someone approaching from the other direction. "Oh no, Lupin, Zenigata's coming," Megan called towards Lupin. "What, oh crap," Lupin looked around for an easy escape, and finally dove behind the bench that Megan was sitting on. He peered through the cracks of the bench to see Megan's screen full of security camera images. So she wasn't lying after all. Zenigata walked up the cobblestone path and was about to pass Megan when he looked up. "Eh? Hey you're the girl from the airport," he said pointing at Megan. "Ah, yes I remember you," Megan looked up at him. "Hey I know I already asked you this but, have you seen any of these people," he held out the pictures again. "Oh yeah, I have," Lupin shivered at these words, would she give them up?? "They were driving to a hotel about a mile away from here," Megan responded with no sense of hesitation. "I knew he was tricking me here!" Zenigata dove through some bushes towards the parking lot. "Hey careful those were," Megan couldn't finish before a scream was heard. "Rose thorn bushes," she said sighing. "What an idiot," she looked behind her. Lupin was gone. "Huh," Megan laughed to herself and then left. The door to the 619 room flew open. "Oh hey, where did you go?" Jigen asked staring up at him from a chair. "I found that kid again," Lupin said sitting on the bed. "Who is that girl anyway?" Jigen looked at Lupin's face trying to read what he was thinking. "She seems like a bad omen if you ask me," Goemon got up and sat at the window looking down into the entrance. "Oh come on you guys worry to much, she's a teenager, what could she possibly do?" Fujiko was fed up with the guys worrying. "Yeah you're right Fuji-cakes" Lupin sat up from the bed. "So are we still going for the vase," Goemon asked. He pulled out his sword. "There is no shadow," he says staring at the blade. "Hey Lupin, listen," Jigen put an ear up against the door of the room. Lupin got up and listened. Outside Zenigata was talking to himself. "I knew that they were in this hotel. They must have checked in at two just to confuse me. How very sneaky," he was getting pissed off. Zenigata's trench coat was ripped and he still had thorns from the bushes on his hat. "This guy needs a new life," Lupin said from inside the room. "Yeah, but I'm sure he'd screw that one up to," Jigen was not amused and was getting rather annoyed by Zenigata following them around for the past couple of years. Lupin stayed up all night thinking of a plan to steal the vase, the security system was tight, so he'd have to think of a way to get in the building without anyone noticing. Before Lupin knew it someone was knocking on the door. "Room service," a girl's voice came from outside the door. "Oh yeah come in," Lupin gathered the pictures on the bed. A young woman with long black hair came in, her voice was very dreamy. "I'm going to be downstairs, can you lock up," Lupin asked. "Of course the girl answered," she smiled and waved good bye. As soon as Lupin shut the door an evil smirk appeared on the woman's face. The woman reached off and removed a mask and wig from her face. She picked up a map from the table. "Orlando museum of Art, eh?" Megan laughed evilly and left the room, she knew where she was going.
