Chapter 8: Lost and never found

Jay's POV

Another stupid plan to get us all killed. But… to save Lloyd…I was willing to take chances. 5 years of travelling just with Nya, that had been amazing. We would travel the realm and stop any bad guys from doing bad guy things. Master Wu had lost Lloyd, and I wasn't going to put my life in his hands again.

Cole pushes open the door to the library and looks around, and as we follow him I notice just how big it is. There's books everywhere, even more then a normal library should have. Different rooms with genre titles, "Fantasy, Dystopian, Horror," just to name a few.

"Wow, they have everything here don't they?" I ask.

"Totally. But is there a desk somewhere? We need to find some records or something." Nya replies.

"Over here!" Harumi points to the desk in the back with a huge pile of books on it.

"Hi there." Harumi says to the lady behind the desk. I give Nya a look and she shrugs her shoulders.

"Can i help you with something?" The lady pushes the books out the way and stares at us. "You're not from around here are you?"

"Well no," Harumi stutters, "We're looking on information on a male named 'Lloyd Garmadon'? Would you happen to know where we could find that data?"

"Strange…a man came in earlier asking for the name record. What was his name again…" the lady shook her head. "Over there in the record room, I can give you a key if you wish."

"Thank you." She beams, taking the key. "If you remember who it was, please tell us." Cole says, smiling awkwardly.

"And why'd you want to know…? I hardly even know who the hell he is."

"Uh, he's a friend of ours." The lady bursts out laughing.

"Sure you are kiddo, well, hope you have fun with your little research project!"

"Uh-thanks?" I stammer. Nya grabs my arm and pulls me away.

"I don't know why we didn't check before. The rooms are all clearly labeled." I question.

"Expect this one needed a key…I wonder why?" Cole asked.

"If it has records in it, then maybe they didn't want to give away any information? Yet again she did just give us the key." Harumi jams it into the lock, and starts twisting.

"Why'd she laugh at me? Is Lloyd a big deal here too?" Cole requested.

"Wait, if you guys stopped a whole-ass war, then why aren't you a big deal?" She took the key out and the door creaked open.

"Too many questions too little time! If we want to get back before dark then we better get moving!" I chime in. Harumi nodes and steps through the door, and down the staircase. She disappears into the dark abyss

"Wait, shouldn't someone stand guard while the others go down? If someone did ask for Lloyd's info, then maybe we shod be looking for them!" I mumble.

"C'mon Jay let's go!" Says Cole, picking me up and carrying me down the stairs.

"Hey wait! It's too creepy!" I object. He rolls his eyes again and keeps walking.
