October 24, 1938- Heimlich VonVIctor felt a chill run down his spine. Autumn always had that effect on him. He looked up at the multitude of colors adorning the trees and placed his hands in his coat pockets. The pungent aroma in the air told him that, somewhere, leaves were being burnt. He took a deep breath and looked down, to the place he had visited as many times as he could in the past two years. The cold hard stone hadn’t changed a bit, and never would. It would always be a testament to the man resting under it.

RICHARD CAMBRIDGE
FEBRUARY 10, 1892-
JUNE 15, 1936
“Justice for all. Above all else.”

He took a deep sigh. He never left anything behind, nor did he suspect that Richard would want anything left for him. He leaned down and placed his hand on the stone, “I’m doing alright Richard. Eric and I started up another agency. We’re doing it right this time, and Sergei is getting better at English every day. He’s even solving cases now; you wouldn’t believe how well he’s doing.”

“Excuse me, detective VonVictor?” a voice called behind him

Heim whirled around to find himself face to face with a young uniformed officer, “What do you want?” he demanded, “Can’t you see I’m in a cemetery?”

“Yes sir,” he responded, “and I’m terribly sorry to disturb you, but I’ve been asked to fetch you right away, it’s a matter of life and death!”

Heimlich let out a sigh, and leaned down to touch the stone again, “It never ends Richard, it never ends. I have to go now, but I’ll be back real soon.”

The announcer began to talk, but Heimlich's mind was a blur. The death penalty? Barnes certainly wouldn't have done this! There was no proof of it!

He ran and picked up the phone and began to dial his office, when he realized that Eric was in the hospital and Sergei was with him. He quickly dialed the first few digits of Vulkie's number, but put down the phone. If she had really gone to save him, it was a huge step for them. Plus they were probably stressed as it was. He decided to let Charlie, Vulkie, Eric, and Sergei be.

Just then Zeo and Marc came into the room looking extremely tired. "What's going on?" Marc asked, "What's all the commotion?"

Molly sighed, "It would seem that the game plan has changed."

***29th October***

"RIIIINNNG" the doorbell went. "COMING!" Vulkie yelled,as she pulled the last "extensions" out of her hair. Vulkie wanted to try a new look, with an extension. But it didn't work out.

As Vulkie opened the door, she saw a lady standing at the porch. "Is this Detective Vulkie's apartment?" the woman asked, a bit hesitating.

"It is.. How can I help you?" Vulkie said, while rubbing one eye.

"Well.... I wanted to talk with you about a certain Mr. Marvington..." the lady said. Vulkie swallowed when she heard "Mr. Marvington".

"Ehmmm.... Alright, come in..." Vulkie said,with a bit of hesitance in her voice. The lady walked in. "Boy,she looks gorgeous" Vulkie said in her thoughts, judging how Eric's taste was.

"I couldn't help, but overhear what you said yesterday... when you were in Eric's room..." the lady said. "Oh? How come?" Vulkie asked, but the woman immediately changed subject.

"My name is Serena Edwards. I've been employed to.... well, get someone with valuable information..." Serena said.

At the word of valuable, a pain crossed in Vulkie's hart. "He's been of valuable information to us...." Vulkie remembered.

"So, what you meant to say, you "get" people to talk about some stuff that is valuable for your "employers"?" Vulkie asked, watching Serena's expression. It was like a brick hit her face.

"So you know..." Serena began, and Vulkie immediately nodded. "I know..." Vulkie replied and Serena burst into tears.

"I didn't mean to let it go this way... Not with Eric... He told me this story about how you two broke up.... but I had to seduce and drug him... otherwise, my employers were going to kill me.... which they are now obviously planning, since I told you...." Serena said.

Just then, the phone began to rang. "Just a minute Serena, it may be important" Vulkie said, as she went to the phone.

"Vulkie here..." Vulkie said, waiting for a reply. Vulkie heard Joseph on the other line...

"Vulkie, it's me, Joseph. I want you to remember that today is that meeting. We're all at Heim's place... Can you come and meet us?" Joseph asked and Vulkie thought for a moment.

"Joseph,I have a guest here. As soon as she leaves, I'll make sure to come over to your place..." Vulkie replied and as she watched out of the window, she saw three black buicks pulling up in the street. Men came out, with tommy guns.

"My god... THEY'RE HERE!' Vulkie yelled and she dropped the phone and immediately duck for cover, as the bullets began to spray. "Serena, get DOWN!" Vulkie yelled and Serena fell to the floor, still alive thanks to Vulkie.

Bullets shattered the windows, came through the wooden planks and the front door was "nicely decorated" with two O's and a S

"Serena,FOLLOW ME!" Vulkie yelled, as she pulled out her gun and made her way to the back door. Serena immediately followed Vulkie. Vulkie carefully opened the back door, but immediate gunfire was heard and the door was shot up...

"Serena,take this gun! Fire some shots... I'm going to the kitchen, which overlooks the alley. Maybe I can kill that son of a..." Vulkie said and gave Serena a gun and went to the kitchen.

Vulkie carefully "crawled" to the window, looked out of it and saw the guy. Vulkie aimed... and she got a hit. The guy fell down from the firestairs and was immediately dead.

Vulkie made her way back to the back door and Serena was still alive. "Let me take that from you dear... It's better that I use it.." Vulkie said and she reloaded the old pistol from her dad...

"There's a car,at the end of this alley. It's mine. What I want you to do, is stay behind me and follow my orders. I know a safe place..." Vulkie said, thinking of Heimlich's house....

"We go.... NOW!" Vulkie yelled, as she burst the back door open and aimed at what moved...

Vulkie ran to the car, without any trouble. Serena followed Vulkie quickly and watched as Vulkie fumbled with the keys.

"Sorry dear, I'm a bit nervous. Getting old, you see..." Vulkie said. Just then, a man shouted : "Oi, they're here!'. Vulkie aimed, shot the man and opened the passenger's seat. "Ladies first" Vulkie said, with a smile and jumped from the passenger's seat to the driver's seat. Serena quickly stepped in at the passenger's seat.

Just then,more Order of Socrates members came around the corner and aimed. Vulkie started the car, put it in R (reverse) and drove backwards,out of the street. The Order of Socrates members fired with their tommyguns, destroying the wind shield. "HEAD DOWN!" Vulkie yelled and pushed Serena's head down, while she kept her own head just above to see where she could overwatch everything. Vulkie made a sharp turn, out of the street, put the car in D (drive) and went off.

"Pfieuw, we barely made that one out alive..." Vulkie said and Serena shivered. "Now calm down darling, it's going to be..." Vulkie began, but just then, the three black buicks screeched after her.

"Alright..." Vulkie gritted through her teeth and pushed the pedal to the metal.

"First, we've got to lose these guys... And I just know how to do that..." Vulkie said, driving through a busy crossover point.

The lights turned red, but Vulkie didn't stop. She closed her eyes for a few moments and hoped that they would make it out alive...

As Vulkie manoeuvred the car through the "crossover", Vulkie and Serena made it out alive. 2 buicks didn't. One still followed them.

"Serena, take my gun again... Aim at the driver... Do as I tell you so... Don't be SCARED!" Vulkie said, hoping that that would encourage Serena to fire.

"Here goes nothing..." Serena said and she fired out of her window, towards the driver.

One shot... two shots... three shots... four shots.... five shots... six shots....

"Out of ammo!" Serena said, looking at Vulkie...

"Don't worry darling, I'm an excellent driver..." Vulkie said, once more pushing the gas pedal down to the metal. The engine roared and roared with excitement. Serena looked out of the back window, seeing that one of the Order's member was dead.. "At least I got one... But not the driver..." Serena said, with a big smile on her face.

"Excellent... You're a good shot for a rookie..." Vulkie said and looked a few seconds in her rear mirror.

Vulkie saw an Order member pulling a tommy gun out of the window and firing bullets. The back windshield smashed into ten thousand pieces. Well, it seemed like ten thousand pieces.

"Serena, HEAD DOWN!" Vulkie yelled and Serena did so. Vulkie made a sharp turn to the right and went an immediate left,into an alley. The black buick rushed by them.

"Get out of the car. We're going for a walk. It's not far, five minutes from here..." Vulkie said, getting out of the car and pushing a piece of cloth in the car's gas entrance and litting it.

Serena ran out of the car,together with Vulkie. Vulkie looked at her watch, as they were walking. "It should blow up any moment.... now..." Vulkie murmered and an immediate BANG satisfied her.

"Ask a friend of mine, he can explain..." Vulkie said, pulling out a small book of her bag and writing something down.

"What's that?" Serena said, looking and pointing at the book. "It's my car book. I keep track of how many cars I got rid off and if I need to buy a new one..." Vulkie said and pushed the book back in her bag.

***Heimlich's house...***

It was a while since Vulkie was here for the last time... "2 years.... It has been 2 years since I've been here..." Vulkie murmered and walked up the stairs with Serena. Serena rang the doorbell.

Marc opened the door, looking astonished. "You... You're alive..." Marc said, hugging Vulkie. "You know me Marc,I never die out on these occasions..." Vulkie said, with a big smile on her face.

Just then, Heimlich came towards the three...

"Oh... It's you.... Hello there..." Heimlich said, bluntly.

"That's the only thing you can say? Oh, It's you, Hello there?" Vulkie said angered. "My apartment has just been decorated, the two of us barely made it out alive and you can only say that?!" Vulkie yelled at Heim and tried to punch him.

Heimlich immediately dodged the punch and Marc held Vulkie back.

"Easy there Vulkie! Heim doesn't understand yet... He hasn't been in contact with you lately, hasn't he?' Marc asked and Vulkie angrily gritted through her teeth : "YES!"

"Marc, let them in... It's dangerous out there for them now..." Joseph said, walking at them... Joseph had some kind of mitella for his left arm and smiled.

"So, who's your friend?" Joseph asked, while Vulkie and Serena made themselves into the living room.

"First, a glass of whiskey please... And Serena, what do you want?" Vulkie said and asked, looking at Serena.

"Also some whiskey please..." Serena said polite and Marc smiled.

"She's Eric's friend" Vulkie whispered to Marc and his face began to turn. Vulkie knew Marc more then two days to know him.

"Everyone, take a seat please..." Heimlich said and Joseph and Molly came in with the drinks.

"Hereby, the meeting has been opened... rather earlier then I had planned.." Heimlich said and he began to speak after taking a sip from his whiskey...

Molly came back in with the drinks and passed them out. She raised a delicate eyebrow at Vulkie.

"Don't tell me, another violent car chase Vulkie?" Molly asked, lightly brushing shattered glass shards off her back. "Lord, it seems everytime we see each other a guns ablazing car chase is not far behind. You must have your mechanic on speed dial. Which party was it this time? Evil Order? Spurned lover? In-laws?"

With a little smile, she took a seat in a corner, curling up and making a concentrated effort not to fall asleep. She had 'woken up early' for a shameful reason after all; no matter how hard she tried to put on her unaffected airs, and despite her steady aim, she was utterly shaken by shooting the man. She was a manipulator, a charmer, a vixen, a scrapper in some cases, a plotter, an actress but the hat of the killer was an ill fit, even after all these years.

"Well, Heimlich. We ought to go over the events in the museum, and come up with another plan of action." she suggested.

(Ahem. It has been brought so very graciously to my attention by Vulkie that there was no speed dial in the 1930's. I so very humbly retract my sarcastic quip and hope that no one was too, too offended by it. *deep curtsy, general supplication*)

Marc looked over at Vulkie. She looked distressed. As though she had been to hell and back. And her friend didn't look much better. Of course, they had been in a "guns ablazing car chase" as Molly had said moments ago. So what else would one expect them to look like after a situation like that.

He took a sip of his whiskey and Heimlich started talking. He began to talk about someone named Eric Marvington.

"Eric Marvington?" Marc thought to himself, "Where have I heard that name?"

After a moment into the meeting, Marc looked up to Heimlich. "I'm sorry to interrupt, but who is this Eric Marvington that is being mentioned? Would someone care to fill me in on what exactly is going on and how this has something to do with that jewel being stolen?"
