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...

"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!"

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...

"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...

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.

I stood watching a group of people get off the plain in Bombay, India. I was in India because of a case that I had to solve. After solving the case and collecting my reward, I figured I would stay and shoot the breeze. I knew by looking at this group of five people that they were all Private Detectives; each with their own skills of making people talk.

The were on to something big I knew it had to to something with the suspicious individual I had been seeing here. They had to be looking for him. He was American. 46 days after he arrived and disappeared, they arrived. I listened as I sat in a chair watching their movement. There were three girls and two guys, one in which an older gentlemen who looked as though he could be a judge for a court system. They were talking about that. But what about, I wondered.

I slowly approached them with my fedora down just over my eyes so they couldn't see my face. I wanted to remain as annonymous as possible, hoping they would let me join them.

A source tells me you are looking for someone here in India." I said. "What is an American like you doing here?" One of the girls asked. "That's not important." I snapped. "What is important is that you let me help you. I've seen him here. I'd been watching him. He has disappeared." I said.

"Whats your name?" The younger guy asked "My name is M. Lacrimosa." I replied
"What does the M. stand for?" Another girl asked.
"That as well is not important, however, if you must know, it is Marc. Marc Lacrimosa. Although I cannot tell you much about this man, I can help you find him. What do you say?" I asked. To them, I was just a creepy shady character. But I myself, am also a Private Eye.

After a long conversation with them, they let me in and introduced them selves as Anais Nin, Riza Hawkeye, Joseph Zeo, Heimlich VonVictor and Vulkie. I knew they couldn't trust me yet. But I the interrogation skill of a police detective. I could make people talk when they didn't want to.

The creepy shady character with his fedora covering his eyes seemed enthusiastic enough, but Joseph wasn't sure if they could trust him, yet. "Anyhow, I don't think us guys can be of much help here...." Joseph said.

"What do you mean?" Marc questioned.

"The inner section of the Shree SiddhiVinayak Temple, where the prized Hotri is being kept, only allows female visitors." Riza replied smugly.

"Then how could Louson steal the jewel himself?" Anais asked.

"I don't know, but I myself is not planning to linger around to find out. You girls may want to do that though." Joseph said. "I am getting sick and tired of letting this guy get away every time. From the path he had been taking so far, I suspect that his next stop, if he manage to get away this time again, would be China."

"So you expect us to fail, Joseph?" Riza eyed him cooly.

"No, it's just a precaution. I have some contacts in China, so why don't I run ahead this time? The boys can join me if they like." Joseph handed Vulkie the address of his friends agency in Shanghai. "You can send me telegram any time. I suspect that it will take me about a week to get there by boat."

"What if he's not in Shanghai?" Anais asked.

"My friend have connection all over Asia. We'll find him faster this way." Joseph replied, "If you find out where Louson is headed next, just send me an urgent message. That way, we can cast a net around him."

The team agreed that it was a sound idea. Vulkie, Riza and Anais decided to dress up as local ladies to investigate the temple, where as Heimlich and Marc still couldn't make up their mind if they'd like to stay to look at the girls in the beautiful saris... eh hm, to watch over them, or to join Joseph ahead in China....
