Have you ever considered that you would chase a suspect 80 days,all around the world? That would be amazing,right? Well,it happened to me and some friends of mine. It all started back,80 days ago of this day....

I was just relaxing in my chair,when Joseph Zeo came walking in. "How ya doing Vulkie" and Joseph shaked my hand. "I'm doing fine Joseph. I've got some great Cuban cigars from Camille,out of Costa Rica. Have one" I replied.

As Joseph was looking for a big cigar,the phone began to rang. "Detective Vulkie,private eye,how may I help you" as I said in the phone,while looking at Joseph.

As I heard more and more information,Joseph saw my face turning into despair and trouble. Then,I hung up the phone and told Joseph what I heard.

"We need to catch a guy. The only trouble is,he's disappeared and his wife says that he likes to travel around the world. He left a note for her,saying the first city he was going to visit was London. His wife can't life so long without him,since she is terminally ill. She has 80 days left..." I said to Joseph and his face also began to turn.

"Nah,I don't know. Travelling is not what I like. Unless,I get a great sum of money and personal expences are covered."

As I told Joseph the amount we could get,his face began to turn happy and he immediately packed his suitcases. But first things first. We needed to check the apartment of the man. His name was Gregory Louson and his wife Laura,was desperate to find him. She heard that I solved many cases (already a 1000 cases) and that I could probably find him.

So,Joseph and I went to the apartment...

Something was bothering Heimlich. He is getting old,I thought. He isn't very clear with his mind at the moment,bit confused. Must've been that Louson. Heimlich also admitted that. And I've been a bit " rough" to Heimlich,because he forgot that detail. That one important detail.

When we arrived at the museum,the police had it surrounded. The contact,Dr. Hamid,stood outside.

"Heimlich,thank god you are here. There's been a..."

"Robbery,perhaps?" Vulkie said,without emotion. It was as if it was getting old.

"Excuse my friend Hamid. We've been chasing this guy for 3 weeks and still aren't done. Do you have any clue where he could be now?" Heimlich asked,with a furious look at me.

I blushed,knowing that I offended Heimlich's friend and mumbled a " sorry" out of my mouth.

"Yes,he's off towards King Tut's tomb. He wanted to steal the mask. Perhaps you could stop him? He just left,5 minutes ago. I'm sorry Heim. I got a bump in the head" Hamid said,pointing at a big lump.

"It's not a problem. We' ll get him!" Riza almost cheered out and that seemed to cheer Hamid also. "Great. When you get him,bring my jewels back,will you?" Hamid asked.

"Of course" Joseph replied.

And so,the 5 detectives departed for the Valley of the Kings,where the tomb of Tutankhamun was located...

Sep-14-2009 18:52

The road into the Valley of the Kings was dusty and rugged. The group was glad they changed into khaki outfits suitable for the occasion along the way. Zeo noticed a few excavation sites along the way. The Egyptian fever was at its height.

Their open top truck stopped by the entrance to King Tut's tomb. Most of the excavation was done by the past decade, but according to Hamid, the mask of the King was still lying inside the tomb. Zeo took out some flashlights and passed them around. As the group was about to enter a dishevel old man ran to the entrance and blocked it with his arms stretched wide open. "Don't go in there Don't go in there!! This tomb is cursed. Whoever enters will die horrible deaths!!"

Riza shoved the man aside. "Old wives tales! Go away, we have a thief to catch." With that, the group entered the tomb. They feel a chill up their spine as the tomb engulfs them.

"Hic-Guys-ic?" Anais' whisper cut through the darkness, lit only by flickering torches they carried. "I hic am sca-hic-red hic witl-hic-ess. And hichic I have hic the hiccups. Hic! Do hic you kn-hic-ow if hic yo-hic-u can hic die hic from the hic-hiccups? Hic!" She sounded panicky.

Riza snuck up behind Anais and jumped on her back, making Anais scream, and scaring everyone else.

"Riza! Why did you do that?!" Joseph asked, voice full of anger.

"Anais! I didn't know you could scream that loud!" Vulkie complemented.

"Are your hiccups gone, Anais?" inquired Heimlich.

"N-HIC-O! Hic!" wailed Anais, hiccuping all the while.

Just then, the tomb began to shake, the walls trembling and the floor knocking the group to their feet. The torches went out.

Anais felt hands grab her, so she screamed, "Ri-hic-za hic Ha-hic-wkeye! Hic! Do-hic-n't ev-hic-en hic try to hichic sca-hic-re me! Hic!"

"Anais? I'm not touching you!" Riza called from the other side of the chamber.

"Anais? Where are you?" Joseph sounded panicky.

Then, everything went still. The torches lit themselves, while two women and two men looked on in fascination until a scream tore through the air:

"HIC! HE-HIC-EEEEE-HIC-ELLLLLLL-HIC-LLLLLLP!!!!!! HIC!"

Sep-18-2009 18:59

((love hic it!! to-hic-tally hic hic hilar-hic-rious hic!, especially the
"HIC! HE-HIC-EEEEE-HIC-ELLLLLLL-HIC-LLLLLLP!!!!!! HIC!" )) :D

Sep-18-2009 20:23

((Hic! Tha-hic-nks, J-hic-Z. Hic! Now hic how do hichic I ge-hic-et rid of hic the-hic-se hic things?! HIC!))

Sep-18-2009 23:26

((maybe hic hic who-hic-ever hic pull you hic away hic will hichic scare hic the Hic hic outta you hic ))

Sep-19-2009 00:24

Anais had her hiccups again. Sigh,I hated those. Just as Riza scared her and Anais yelled,we all thought the hiccups were gone. But no...

Just then,the walls began to tremble and we fell on the ground,with all the torches out.

"Riza,stop touching me!" I could make out. Riza replied that she was not touching her.

"Strange" I thought,because we were all here... But who could be touching her then...

"Joseph,lit a torch,quickly" I hissed. But the torches lit themselves already and I stared in fascination. A mummy was holding Anais. "Anais" I said. "Yes,hic?" Anais replied. "Don't look behind you,but there's a mummy holding you".

And so,Anais looked around and screamed.

I took Anais's hands,Joseph took a torch and we all began to run.

Left,right,straight through,we just went through a maze. "Gosh,this reminds me of my old days searching for secret plans!" Heimlich said,while running.

"I don't care. LET'S GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!" I yelled to Heimlich.

Eventually,we landed in the chamber with King Tut's "grave". The mask,however,was gone.

"My god. Louson was here" Riza whispered.

A note was attached to a small statue,saying "See you in India,my dear "friends" ."

"Joseph,if I get this bastard in my hands... The first thing I do,is knocking him unconscious..." I said to Joseph and he nodded. "I totally agree" Heimlich said.

Then,the mummy entered and we all began to shiver...

Sep-19-2009 00:36

"Joseph,don't shoot it..." I whispered "Maybe he's trying to get Louson. Also,don't touch anything guys" I added.

The whole gang nodded and we all stood still. The mummy looked at us,saw that we had no intention to "rob" or steal anything from him and began to lie in his coffin.

Then,we sealed it off,just in time. "Pfieuw,another victory for the team!" I screamed and everybody hissed. "He's sleeping you know,don't wake him up!" the guys said,all together.

I nodded and we made our way back towards the entrance. The old man who Riza knocked over while entering the tomb was looking at us with big eyes.

"What you want old man. We got out alive. You see? No ghosts,no mummy behind us,nothing. NOTHING!" Riza yelled at him and Heimlich pulled her back.

"Excuse my friend,dear man. She's a bit "agressive" sometimes. But we get used to it." Heimlich said. "I understand. I only tried to warn you,to say that the man who you sought for was escaping in a van,five minutes ago..." the man said.

"RIZA!" I yelled angered. Riza looked down to the ground. "Well,off to India then eh?" Joseph said and we nodded.

It took us 25 days to get to India,due to "accidents" happening and the "modernisation" wasn't ready yet for India.

When we arrived at Bombay,in India,it was day 46...

Sep-20-2009 08:48

Day 46 - Bombay, India

"It's almost been a month! Do you think Louson's still around?" Anais asked dubiously as the group wandered through the narrow alleyways.

"If we had trouble getting here, I'm sure Louson encountered similar problems. He couldn't go far." Heimlich concluded. "The question is, what is Louson doing in India of all places?"

"Maybe we should check if there was any great treasures being displayed in this city?" Joseph suggested.

Riza sighed, "Let's go, I know exactly who to ask."

*****

The Holy man Zail greeted Riza with respect and enthusiasm; it appeared that the two had known each other for a long time, and there were unspeakable closeness between them.

Vulkie questioned why Riza would take them to see the old relic. "It made sense," Zeo said to Vulkie while Riza was talking to Zail, "Everything in this country seemed related to religion, so any sacred treasure would not escape his notice."

Riza returned to the group after the extensive chat. "The Rig-Veda Samhita" Riza stated, frowning.

"You mean one of the Mantra-Samhitas?" Heimlich queried, Riza nodded.

"Can someone speak in plain English here?" Vulkie said.

"The Rig-Veda Samhita is the oldest and grandest book of the Hindus. It is the Great Indian Bible, which no Hindu would forget to adore from the core of his heart. Its style, the language and the tone are most beautiful and mysterious." Heimlich the encyclopedia explained. "Its immortal Mantras embody the greatest truths of existence, and it is perhaps the greatest treasure in all the scriptural literature of the world. Its priest is called the Hotri."

"But I don't think Louson would be interested a book, of all things..." Anais said.

"Not when its cover is adorned with the most precious blue diamond in world." Riza replied nonchalantly. "Zail just told me it is crafted in the shape of a heart."

"So he came here for a copy of the Hotri with a shiny blue cover."

"And you'll never guess where it was kept..." Riza smirked.
