The house of mysteries ch.13
Flight 139 now boarding to Japan
"That was a quick wait," Lupin said looking up at the large board of airplane routes.
"Not really, it's been a half an hour," Megan said looking at her computer clock.
"Speaking of…..what are you going to do with that thousand dollars?" Fujiko asked.
"What's that have to do with anything, besides why do you care," Megan said playing some kind of space game.
"Well I mean…you need to spend it on something useful," Fujiko said, obviously wanting Megan to get something.
"Like what," Megan said clicking the mouse at an alarming rate.
"Maybe a new outfit?" she questioned.
Megan looked annoyed since she had explained once before that there was no way in hell that she'd get another outfit.
"You can't always wear one thing," Fujiko said.
Megan had a strange look on her face. Lupin watched her for a second, she actually looked ill, but then she had that same grin on her face.
"Not everyone needs to have more than one outfit ya know, less to worry about," Megan said continuing to play her game.
"Hmph," Fujiko looked pissed, although no one was quite sure why….but she was always pissed at something. Fujiko was trying to get Megan to be more like her is what they guessed, or she just couldn't stand the fact that Megan got more money than she did.
Zenigata walked up to the ticket counter of Delta airlines. "I need the fastest route to Japan," he said.
"Our next flight leaves in 30 minutes," the clerk said.
"Yeah whatever," Zenigata said getting the tickets, still mad that Lupin got away.
Lupin and the gang managed to get on the flight, Megan once again managed to snatch the window seat by leaping over the couple in front of them. Jigen was forced to sit next to Megan because Lupin had grabbed the seat next to Fujiko and Goemon had already claimed the aisle seat. Megan actually fell asleep about 15 minutes into the long flight to Japan, but no doubt she'd be up in another five minutes.
Fujiko sat squirming in her seat looking very annoyed.
"What's wrong Fuji-cakes?" Lupin asked after watching her flinch for 15 minutes.
"It's that kid she's got to be hiding something from us, I mean come on a kid like that just can't appear from no where, there's got to be something she's not telling us," Fujiko said practically whispering.
"Yeah you're right, the kid's great and all but, that whole story just doesn't make since, people just don't leave their kids in a huge house alone," Jigen said holding his hat.
Fujiko looked up and saw Megan's backpack that she had packed from her house, she looked at Megan and grabbed the backpack.
"Fujiko what are you doing," Lupin said looking at Fujiko who was un-zipping the backpack.
"There's got to be something in here, a letter, a last name, something," she said and began to dig through past the laptop.
Her hand stopped moving and she slowly brought out what appeared to be a photograph.
Everyone leaned forward as Fujiko unfolded it. The picture was faded beyond repair, if that's what it even was…but there was an address on the back of it. 13R 11U 2D MagatoHeights
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Jigen asked taking the paper.
Lupin copied the message down on a napkin and put it in his jacket.
"Uh-oh, we got company," Goemon said. Fujiko put all the stuff back and threw the backpack into the compartments.
Lupin looked at what Goemon was pointing at, 4 rows ahead was a familiar face, a VERY familiar face…..pop's very familiar face.
