Three days had passed since the tragic event happened, Sam, Josh, and Bob were the only ones who knew what took place; they hadn't announced it to the police yet, considering they would react just as they did when they saw it for their own eyes. However, Josh volunteered for the job of having a conference discussing about that the higher officials would accept the remaining team that would still be able to work on the Kidnapper case to avenge Marg and Skylar.
After two and a half hours being gone, he finally arrived with the news, "I just got back from the conference, they said they will let us continue this case only because Skylar and Marg are nowhere to be found, and we are the only ones who knew them. It was tough to persuade them, but I managed to do it…for them. Now we just have to worry about the handbook."
Bob walked over to his brother and handed him a needed mug of coffee, "Personally, I think we should keep it locked up in a secret place only we know, but will be guarded at all times. Since there are two out there, I wouldn't see why the Kidnapper would want another one in his possession, it would technically be useless."
"How about we take the safe from here and transfer over to the new headquarters? We'll be staying there at all times, so no one would get to it," Sam suggested.
The student considered the offer and made a decision, "That's actually not a bad idea, good thinking. I don't like the idea of stealing their safe, but it's for the best." "And now, I shall rule the world!"
The team moved into their brand, new headquarters, built by the same people who built the previous one, however, it was nothing compared to what the first one was. And without Marg and Skylar operating it, nothing was ever the same for the team. All in all, it was still what they had hoped for. The technology was moved with caution and placed where Bob thought it should be, making it very organized. As soon as everything was put position where it should be, Bob noticed something, no realized something. Sam and his brother were suddenly nowhere to be seen or found. They had been in the main room unpacking equipment and throwing away the boxes into recycling bins. When Bob entered the room; that they had been last, he called out their names, looked at the security cameras, and found absolutely nothing. Could his accomplice have done this for his leader? Was he really that dedicated as much as Bob was?
It appeared so…
Of course, after this had happened, he needed a new partner to work with him. Attending college, he met a girl about his age named Katelyn, she happened to be getting a degree in forensic science. Bob had asked her to go with him on their lunch break from their studies, they discussed about their thoughts and opinions on what they think of the Kidnapper. Katelyn confessed that she thought that what he was doing for the good of mankind; making the bad go away and have the good hearted stay and make the world right. This struck Bob's interests. As they were walking back to the university, he whispered in her ear to make sure no one else heard, "What if I told you that I was the Kidnapper?"
They began walking again and acted natural, as if nothing happened. She answered honestly, "If you were, I wouldn't be scared, actually it matches your personality," she kept her eyes on the sidewalk.
"Then you'd make a great partner in crime. Would you accept being on my side and assisting me in my mission to make this world filled with justice?"
Katelyn took some time to think about the offer, then put her hand out, "You can have my word to keep it confidential," she concluded very business-like.
He accepted the handshake, "Then we have a deal," he smiled in victory, "However, we are working under to avenge the greatest detective in the world and her partner's tragic ending that the Kidnapper did. We are not working towards our goal, so that means we have to keep it just between us. Welcome to the team, my good friend."
