Chapter 9 - Ch-8 The Case of Mantis

???- "ME? I am FREE SEBASTIAN your partner."

Sen hits him in the head and tells him not to jump scare him again.

Free- "But I like that kind of stuff"

Sen- "Not anymore."

Free argues with Sen about pranks.

Meanwhile, Jon finds David and they both introduce themselves to each other.

Rose comes in and stops Sen and Free from their argument

Suddenly a woman comes in rushing with some papers in her hand

She trips and falls down

Sen helps her get up and helps her with her papers

??- "Hello I am Jaime Lexington I am Assigned to Team Ariah as of today It's my pleasure to work with you all."

Jaime- "And the Chief has called us all to the conference room."

The team heads to the conference room and sits down

Joe comes in

Joe- "First of all Congratulations to you all. "

Second thing is that we have decided to appoint David as your captain

Free- "AWWW MAN "

Joe- "You got a problem here?"

Free- "No sir"

Joe opens his laptop and starts a presentation of some paper clippings and some ancient items

Joe- "All these ancient artifacts have been stolen by a person who calls himself the MANTIS.

He is quick and smart. He covered his tracks brilliantly.

Now I know that this team is supposed to handle supernatural cases but listen to me."

Sen- "All the items he stole have something to do with the 11 mages."

Joe- "Yes! These items originally belonged to the 11 mages."

David-" You are saying that has something to do with the statues"

Sen-" No, he is doing it because of the statues."

David-" What?"

Sen- "All those items he stole are worthless."

All- "What?"

Sen-" Only the 11 mages have the authority to use them. Even I can't use them. "

Joe- "What are you saying?"

Sen- "No one would ever steal anything so worthless. What I am saying is if we can catch him we will be able to know more about the statues."

Free- "I guess it's Worth a shot but how do we catch him genius?"

Sen- "Well by looking carefully. A mantis is a very peculiar creature. You cant find them very easily But if you look closely you can find them."

Rose- "Do you have a Plan?"

Sen-" No. Not at the moment."

Jon- "You said all of that without a plan? Bro, you are cracked."

Sen Looks at the paper clippings carefully and notices something

Sen-" Oh This might be interesting."

Sen gets up and takes free with him to investigate.

Joe- "Where are you going?"

Sen-"You will know soon."

A week passes by

A man arrives at the Police station with all the items he stole and confesses he is the mantis and returns all of the items he stole

Team Ariah are shocked.

Joe gets informed about the situation and runs to team Ariah's room

He goes to sen and asks him

Joe- "What did you do?"

Sen- "I Just looked carefully."
