Haven't updated in since September, jeez. Well I'm almost done with school... been pissed off, want to drop out, I've figured out it's a waste of my time and possibly ruined my social life. Just ignore this, I'm ranting. Even though I believe this, but I'm running on spite, anger, and other things.

Treasure Hunt

Lincoln was at his desk working, while also half listening to Dwight complaining about everyone not cleaning the cabinet near the accounting area. But he then raised a brow when Dwight found something interesting.

"A letter from Robert Dunder? 'A valuable artifact has come into my possession. I have hidden it until such time as a person with strong intellect may safely recover it. This golden chalice is of immeasurable historical and religious significance.'" He read, and then his face became stone faced when he read the last part. "The Holy Grail."

Lincoln glanced at Pam, who had the same look of confusion. She then motioned towards Dwight, as if asking what that was about, but he merely shrugged, not knowing either. But it only took the both of them a second to realize who would come up with something like that.

As the others were distracted by the obviously fake treasure hunt, both Lincoln and Pam went to the break room. After making sure no one would hear them, they closed the door, and Pam calling Jim.

"Did you send Dwight on a quest for the Holy Grail? I asked Lincoln, and he doesn't have a clue." Pam asked, once she got a hold of him.

Jim was busy working part time at Athlead, after David Wallace gave him the go-ahead to work part-time there. And also he got Lincoln to cover for him on the days he would be busy. Although Stanley and Phyllis had to help a little too, due to a prior engagement Lincoln had, which also had him work part-time now.

"I think I'm a little too busy these days to s… oh my god. I did send Dwight on quest to find the Holy Grail." Jim said the last part in realization and laughed. "Linc, do you remember when you first told me about what your dad did to keep you and your sisters from fighting about money?"

Lincoln thought about it for a moment, and said in realization," Yeah I do it was… wait that was like six to seven years ago."


Flashback

"So, your dad tricked you and your sisters into thinking there was a treasure in your guys house. In an attempt to stop fighting about money?" Jim said.

Both him and Lincoln were eating lunch in the break room. Lincoln was telling Jim about his childhood, after he had asked about any stories with him and his sisters.

Lincoln chuckled, and said," Yeah, he even used the name 'Sharon DeMonet'. I mean, it was kinda obvious once you thought about it. And it worked."

"Y'know, with half the stuff you said about growing up, I'm surprised you haven't written a book or something about it."

Lincoln shrugged, and said," Maybe in the future. For all I know, that would be my flagship comic when Clyde and I open our Comic Book shop, and create our own comics on the side." Lincoln then got his trash together, and got up.

"I'm gonna get started on those dang reports. Dwight will hound me about it. Maybe he should be put on a quest or something, so we don't have to hear his whining about work." He joked.

Lincoln left, and Jim had a thoughtful look on his face. He then looked at Dwight, who was at his desk. Jim then looked back at the camera, with the face he made when he was about to do something to fool Dwight.


"Yeah, I ended up staying late for a month… I had a lot of free time back then."

Lincoln and Pam watched as Dwight, and soon the others started to follow Jim's clues. The former two had to admit, this was probably one of Jim's more elaborate pranks, and were impressed by his level of dedication to it. Even though when it came to pranking Dwight, Jim always went above and beyond when he put his mind to it.

"Man I can't wait to see the look on his face when he gets to the end and finds the... fake grail? No grail?" Jim questioned aloud.

"You don't remember?" Pam asked.

"I don't." Jim said, and he sounded like he was apologizing.

Pam looked at Lincoln, and asked," Do you happen to remember?"

Lincoln shook his head, and said," No, I don't remember Jim telling me about this one."

"Oh yeah, the prank was meant for both you and Dwight. So I didn't tell you." Jim explained.

Lincoln would've been annoyed by that, but he was more interested in seeing how this treasure hunt would go. And to see whether Dwight and the others would find it or not.


Later, after Dwight and the others found more clues, Lincoln and Pam found themselves far off away from the others in the warehouse. Due to the last clue saying that the fake grail was somewhere in the warehouse. But, no one could find anything, even after they opened a ton of boxes.

"There's nothing down here." Pam said.

"Oh, I expected more from young Halpert." Jim said disappointed.

"Well, sometimes its best for things to stay hidden." Lincoln said.

Pam looked at Lincoln, who now had a faraway look.

"The power that can be unleashed would be too great to handle for us mere mortals. So we must let sleeping dogs lie." Lincoln said in his best sage voice.

Pam's response was to giggle in amusement, and Jim chuckling over the phone.

Lincoln chuckled as well, and he wondered if he should add his experiences with everyone in The Office to his and Clyde's future comic.
