The Fool laughs, the Lovers cry, the Judgement given and the World broken. A detective chosen to wield the Magician enters the stage to find the Fool and reveal the truth

Watson assistant of the famous detective Lockard, surrounded by all the records of missing reports, murders, and mysteries, with tired eyes, he leans on his chair and turns on the TV and hears the news that made him have a heart attack, he leaned forward and turned the volume up to hear carefully.

*** 

Miss Emma of the Hurts family one of the most well-known and a major influence to the country's economy is found to be dead after leaving the Hurts-Cypus conference. More information will be given as soon as they come

As soon as Watson heard it, he rushed toward his master's room, flying past everyone and with a voice of tiredness and fear. He called his Master Lockard.

"Sir, do you know what happened?"

"Calm down, Watson" answered Lockard leaning back in his chair, while reading about the new cases, he gave Watson some water and asked him to sit down and relax himself.

"Sir, The Fourth head of Hurts family is found to be dead!" Watson said to Lockard shocking Him,

Lockard's calmness fades away as he asks him" What!"

"The method of murder is still unknown and rumors have already started spreading that it was the Cypus family the rivals of Hurts family are ones behind the murder but we have no evidence to support it" Watson answer him, showing all the news and images of murder scene

"The Cypus family are they even capable to do this?" Lockard questions him while reviewing all the photos 

As they were locking though the photos, someone came though the door carrying some documents and a letter, She was Julia Hurts part of the Hurts family and also the wife of Watson, she is a famous psychologist. She came and called Lockard excited with some news.

"Sir, a order has come the head of Hurts family to investigate the murder case of Emma Hurts, they also have given the all documents relating to the past affairs of Hurts family to aid in this case" she said while handing over all the documents to Lockard,

"Julia you shouldn't involve in this matter" Watson told her worrying about her safety but Julia didn't listen saying "Don't worry dear nothing will happen, it's my family after all" encouraging him 

Lockard leaned in his chair and began to open the documents one by one but realizing it's magnitude he told Watson to gather the team. 

 As Watson and Julia left the room, Lockard leaned in his chair pondering up all kind of theories, while shuffling through the documents and noticed a document that wasn't like the other, it had a painting of The Arcana of Hermit faded away while little burned 

The document was older than the other ones dating back to the 2000s, it was a old missing person report, Lockard opened it and read it word by word, the report appeared to be given by the Hurts family over the disappearance of the third heir Smith Hurts, In the last page of the report something was reported in dark ink

***

The third heir to Hurts family Mr. Smith Hurts disappeared on the night of 29th February 2004 with also the death of his only son by the action of the rival family to disturb the peace, Smith is said to be killed by the rival family but there isn't no evidence to support it

*** 

"Smith? but there isn't even a report on his son, could the rival family destroyed all the records of them and if that's the case could they have also killed Emma but the only rival the Hurts family has is the Cypus family" Lockard pondered as the sounds of the clock ticking could be heard.

"But what if the reason Smith's documents are missing is because the rival family burned it or hid it somewhere" "Sir, may i come in" Watson asked disturbing the thoughts of Lockard

Watson came back with the entire team and presented them before Lockard, Introducing them them one by one. The team consist of Julia Hurts, Xavier, Jack, Kevin. 

" Good morning to you all, i am sure that you have heard the news about Emma Hurts dead and we have been given the privilege to investigate this case by the head of the Hurts family himself, I am sure that this case will be one most complex case we have ever delt with, so prepare yourself and give your best" Lockard motivated them and officially began the investigation 

"What Evidence we have so for sir?" asked Xavier, Lockard leaned in his chair and asked Watson to turn on the TV

"The only information we have are the documents given by the head and the report that Emma was found dead after attending the Hurt-Cypus family conference" Lockard began explaining 

"Sir, maybe the Cypus family did this? after all they are a rival to the Hurts challenging them in very way they can" asked Jack but Watson answered him "We don't really know for sure and we have no evidence to support it" 

"Watson, you take charge of handling and investigating the documents given by the head and you may have your wife as your assistant to aid in this" Lockard handed all the documents

"Jack and Xavier you two begin investigating the Cypus family, their past affairs, relationship and if you find anything report back as soon as possible" Lockard ordered them

"Kevin, you go to the crime scene and get as much evidence about her death as you can" Lockard gave him that order and drank some water pondering what could have happened
