THE HOUSE OF MYSTERIES CH. 7
"So Lupin where exactly are we going," Fujiko asked when they got to the airport. "Spain," he answered without hesitation. "Cool Spain," Megan said jumping in the air. "Just what are we doing in Spain," Goemon asked. "Well I'm sure you guys have heard of the Spanish lottery held before the running of the bulls right. "Er-no?" Jigen answered sitting on a bench in front of the terminal. "Well it's about the third biggest lottery in the world. It's held right before the running of the bulls, or more of during. It's really a perfect time for crooks like us to come in and steal it, there's so many people you could disappear in 60 seconds," Lupin continued. "Don't you mean gone in 60 seconds," Megan said typing on her laptop. "Same thing," Lupin said taking a seat next to Megan. "Okay here's the safe, one of the hardest to crack in the world. It's so thick you can't cut through it, also it would trigger an alarm if you did. It's fire proof so we can't use bombs, wow you really know how to pick who to rob don't ya," Megan was reading her laptop's info on the safe. "Oooh, check this out, apparently if you get the code and open it, the safe will send a message to the lotto safe owner, he's like a manager. Pablo Sandreo. Funny name. The safe it self must be computer generated. The guy looks like he's to smart to have the power knock it out, he must have a back up generator," Megan scrolled down the page typing furiously. "That's alright I think we have enough information," Goemon stood up. "So Lupin got any ideas," Fujiko asked. "Yeah I got one, and it's gonna be great," Lupin said and got up. "Plane's here," he said. "16 hour flight, geez, we got a long night ahead of us," Jigen said sitting in the airplane seat. "Why don't you sleep then," Megan asked. "Nah, I can never sleep during airplane flights," Jigen answered leaning his seat back. "I rarely sleep to begin with," Megan said sitting in the seat with the window. "Hey that was my seat," Fujiko said. "Find another," Megan said. "Stupid kid," Fujiko mumbled. "Don't you ever get off your computer," Lupin finally asked after 6 straight hours of hearing Megan typing faster than the speed of light. "Nope," Megan answered not even taking a glance of the screen. "I just don't see how she can stay that skinny, she eats and plays on the computer till' she falls asleep from being too tired…how does she do it?" Fujiko was staring at Megan from the aisle seat. "Only 10 more hours to go," Goemon said sighing. "Megan how long has it been since you slept?" Lupin asked trying to get her to stop typing. "A day or two," she responded. "WHAT! How can you be so energetic!" he said amazed. " I dunno," she said, she actually looked tired. "Look you don't have to work yourself to death for us, you should really get some sleep," he said comfortingly, a side Lupin has NEVER revealed, but he had to admit he was kind of worried. "I suppose you're right," she said closing her laptop. She was out in 10 minutes flat. "Hey Lupin," Jigen said. "You've been awake this whole time," Lupin looked over at Jigen who hadn't moved in the past three hours. "You look like you were in hibernation," Lupin chuckled. "I feel bad for her and all, but do you really think we should be taking her with us? I mean do you think she knows what she's doing?" Jigen said staring at the girl. "Well she seems like she does, but ya never know until you try," he said. "Yes that's very nice and all but what about Zenigata," Goemon came into the conversation. "She might not be able to escape," Goemon said thinking the worst possible thoughts. "Hmm, you may be right there, lets test something," Lupin began to dig through his shirt pocket. "Ah-ha!" Lupin had a pair of handcuffs in his hand. "Where'd you get those?" Jigen asked. "Pops last attempt of the throwing hand cuff technique," Lupin giggled. He snapped the hand cuffs around Megan's wrist. "Let's see if she can get out when she wakes up," Lupin leaned his chair back. What would happen if she did get caught, he thought himself to sleep. "Hey Lupin buddy, we're almost there," Jigen shook Lupin. "What?" Lupin said. "Oh yeah and there's something on your wrist," Jigen said smiling. Lupin looked down, he was handcuffed to the armrest. "Try that one again and I'll put it around your neck," Megan said grinning, she was on her computer. Lupin slipped out the cuffs and yanked them free of the armrest. "So you know that trick to eh?" Lupin said stuffing the cuffs in his jacket pocket. "Yep, I told you guys, I know all the stuff you do, kind of," she said laughing. ATTENTION AIRLINE PASSGENGERS WE'RE ABOUT TO LAND SO PLEASE TURN OFF ALL ELECTRONIC DEVICES. "Crap, I was about to win too," Megan said turning off her computer. Lupin caught a glimpse at the game, it was Solitare.
