Author Note – I am aware that the Mi casa es su casa phrase is not spoken in Mexico or any other Spanish-speaking country. I just thought it sounded like fun title. I have revised this chapter. I shouldn't write when I am really tired.

Please review and thank you for reading!

(Chiapas, Mexico – Temple of the Inscriptions, waiting for ACME to arrive)

Carmen lands her craft on the green grass in front of the pyramid. There is a slight breeze making the mi-day atmosphere more comfortable. She got out and began walking towards the pyramid base. Archie Ology gets out, following her and says "E..Everything has been set up and is ready Carmen" remembering the indecent in the camel cab.

"I need to get ready for when ACME arrives" she said with her hands on her hips looking around.

A trench was dug around the entire pyramid and went a few feet deep. Attached to each side of the pyramid base was a frame that had rockets on its side.

She took out her minicomputer. The test devices registered and were in standby mode. She closed it putting it back in her inner pocket.

"Archie I am going to wait on the lower steps for ACME. Fly the craft a mile into the air and wait for me." She said holding out her hand to receive the remote from Archie.

"Gotcha Carmen" he said giving her the remote and walking back to the vehicle.

She walked up a few stairs and looked at her watch. She had a few more minutes before their expected arrival. When she gives ACME a clue their deciphering time is estimated so that she has enough time to give them false hope and make her exit. It may not always go the way she planned but those variables are always taken into account. She started up the rockets and the pyramid slowing began to move out of the ground. Roots that were attached to the underbelly of the pyramid were pulled up reveling the passageway to Pakal 's tomb.

The pyramid began to lift higher into the air. She prepared herself by standing in her signature position, hands on hips, feet shoulder length apart and her hat tilted enough to show half of her face. A blue orb appeared and Zack and Ivy fell on the ground a few feet from the front steps.

"Greetings detectives I am glad to see you, but I am afraid I can't stay and chat" she smiled and tipped her hat brim.

Ivy was the first one up and made it to the base just as it moved beyond her reach. She tried to jump up hoping to grab the first step, but it was too high. She glared at Carmen hovering above her. Zack finally joined his sister.

He took out his ZackAttack 20,000 and said "I'm going to hack into her system to stop the rockets."

A beeping noise came from inside Carmen's coat. It was her minicomputer alerting her that someone was trying to hack her system.

"Nice try Zack, but you will need something more powerful than that."

As if on cue the rockets hissed and spewed more fire and the Temple of the Inscriptions was lifted higher into the air, like a balloon caught in the wind.

Zack did the best he could, but his computer kept freezing up on him.

Ivy got an idea and said "Zack put your foot in my hand."

"But Ivy.." Zack pleaded

"Just do it!" she snapped.

Zack reluctantly put his foot into Ivy's palms and she threw him up.

"Whoa" he yelled.

Carmen was preparing to throw down the clue when she saw two hands on the first step, and then blond hair, as Zack lifted himself onto the pyramid steps.

"Give it up Carmen. You have nowhere else to go" he said getting up.

"I am afraid that you, too, have to nowhere else to go" Carmen said with the wind blowing her hair.

She reached in her pocket and took out the clue. She threw it towards him and he caught it just as the pyramid hit and air pocket. They both stumbled, but Zack stumble backwards and fell.

Carmen gasped and ran to the edge of the steps and saw Ivy catch Zack. She was secretly relived and said "Nice day for a crime, isn't it detectives".

The air became cooler and the oxygen was thinner making her shiver a bit, as the pyramid rose higher and higher. She looked up and could see her faithful vehicle. She checked her computer.

"All devices have reported and all results are within the specified parameters" said the robotic voice.

She smiled when she heard this. Her customers will be very pleased.

Archie moved the car next to the first step, lifting up the doors and stepping out. Carmen stepped in taking her place behind the wheel. Archie sat in the passenger side. She pushed a button on the remote, which activated the auto navigation system that was preprogrammed with the coordinates for the temple holding place.

Back on the ground Ivy was unwrapping the clue, while Zack was trying to figure out what had happened.

"I'm sorry Ivy. I am afraid that her equipment is just too advanced and I am too slow" he said.

"Oh… that's ok Zack" she said.

The clue was a gummy Buddha statue.

"Why would Carmen gives us a gummy Buddha statue?" Ivy said, turning it in her hands.

"I don't know Ive. Player cross-reference Buddha with..ah…syrup, starch, glucose and gelatin" he said, but his voice trailed off. No searches were found.

"This makes no sense" Ivy said giving the clue to Zack.

"Maybe it's not what it's made out of but what it means" he said. "Why would Carmen give us a Buddha statue made from gummy ingredients? Player cross-reference Buddha with… candy."

Chief's voice is heard "Well there is a place in Indonesia that is referred to as the Candi Borobudur candy with an i, but it's not the type of candy that would rot your teeth. It was once a Buddhist temple until the 14th-century when the local people turned to Islam; however, it is still used today by Buddhists who go on a spiritual pilgrimage by following a circular pathway that wraps around the temple all the way to the top. Candi Borobudur is located near Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia."

"Good job little bro" Ivy said patting Zack on the back. "Player C-5 us to Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia."

"It's sure good. I hope she gives us clues like this more often" he said with his mouth full.

"Oh brother" Ivy said rolling her eyes.

The blue orb appeared behind them.
