THE HOUSE OF MYSTERIES CH.15
Megan was at a stand up noodle bar at least 4,000 miles away from Lupin and Jigen. Goemon watched from a near by street corner.
"Do you think she suspects anything," Fujiko asked Goemon who now stood up to get a better view.
"To tell you the truth I came here to eat until I saw her," he said as his stomach growled.
"YOU IDIOT WHAT IF SHE'S ON TO US!" Fujiko screamed slapping him. Goemon sighed, and he thought Megan was the one who'd get followed by Fujiko.
Lupin continued to look at the napkin, then at the sign, then at the napkin, but the words didn't seem to change any so he slowly opened the gate.
"Are you sure you copied down the right address," Jigen asked walking through the gate.
"Positive, but I still don't get what this message means," Lupin said studying the napkin.
Jigen looked around the cemetery. He looked at the napkin again.
"Hey what if it means, 13 right, 11 up, and 2…..2 diagonal," he said pointing.
Lupin looked at the napkin. "You know you maybe right," he finally said and they began to walk.
Jigen and Lupin were going up the hill, both looked really curious as to what was going to happen next.
"Ok, that's 11 up," Lupin looked in front of him. The men both looked at each other.
"1….2…," they slowly walked. They were at a grave, both were almost afraid to look down.
They both looked slowly down on the grave at the same time.
Lupin and Jigen's eyes grew big in shock they both found themselves gasping.
Fujiko disappointed in Goemon's stealth walked slowly down the street. She walked into a clothes store, she might as well spend her cash now while she had nothing better to do. She walked in the store, only to find herself rushing out. Megan was in the store looking at clothes.
"But I thought she said," Fujiko murmured remembering the incident at the airport.
Fujiko couldn't help but smile at the fact that Megan was doing the exact opposite of what she said. Fujiko watched through the store window, but she still couldn't help but think how Lupin and Jigen were doing.
Lupin fell to his knees in front of the grave. There was no name on the grave only a picture. The picture however, was the perfect image of Megan. The only thing different was that her hair was in a pony tail and looked a bit longer, but besides that, it was flawless.
Lupin and Jigen ran from the cemetery, there had to be someone who could tell them who that grave belonged to.
As they were running they say a small building up ahead, which must have been the manager of the graveyard. They ran up to it and opened the door. Inside an old man was sitting at the counter.
"Can I help you," he said smiling.
Lupin went up to the counter. "That grave up there with just a picture, who's is it…how long has it been there," he said out of breath.
"Oh you mean that girl, that's been there for at least 4 years now. I'm not quite sure of that one's story…. I now this though, she had a sister…I think her sister was 4, 6 years younger than her…I'm not to sure," he said thinking hard.
Lupin tried to listen but he was growing impaitient.
"I do remember her and her sister looked so much alike, if they weren't years apart from age, you'd swear they were twins," he continued. "When the young one would reach a certain age, she'd look almost exactly like her sister did at that age, it was kind of weird," he said.
"What was her name," Jigen asked.
"I'm actually not to sure on any of their names," he said. "But I do remember that the younger one was 10 when her sister died," he said.
"Are you sure you can't remember how she died," Lupin said hoping for an answer.
"It's not that I can't remember, it's just that I was never told," he said.
"The only living relative was that girl and she didn't give us a name or anything," he said sounding disappointed.
"Thanks," Lupin said he and walked out of the office, Jigen followed him.
"Oh wait I do remember something!" Jigen and Lupin quickly turned around.
"That girl her name was Megan! Yes! She was here for about a month after her sister was buried!" he said snapping his fingers. "I over heard her say her name one day," he said. "I hope that helped you," he said.
"Yeah…it did," they said and walked out.
Lupin and Jigen got a taxi to the airport and got on the next flight to Japan, they never talked through the whole flight.
Lupin was beginning to understand how Megan took care of herself…it wasn't her...it was her sister.
