The Rise of The Fallen Empire

'He is old but smart and equally stupid.' Tobias said.
'Not smart enough, at least not as smart as us.' Lowrey showed-off, with a proud smile lightening up his face. 'And about the bones in the antique box; it's just one of our little trick to add up spice to your game, but the box was a real antique from Art Crime Division's evidence room.'
. . . . . Add up spice to your game . . . . What game?, John was wondering as they spoke.
'He's being charged with degree one murder attempt along with that put together his art theft and forgeries, probably he's going away for a very long time. He might not see the light of the day.' The man called David Stenson spoke.
After a minute's silence, the kids shook hands with the officers and then they smiled and started walking back, as the medical coroners and crime scene unit chalked up the scene.

Epilogue
'Hey wait!' Melissa called them back.
David Stenson asked Stan Lowrey to give them a minute and turned towards the kids and waited in his place with his hands crossed. The kids rushed towards David Stenson.
'You said something about a test . . . . . .' she asked. '. . . . . . And you also said that we'll be getting back to it later.' John asked him. 'What's that Mr. Stenson?'
Stenson started smiling at them, without even a slight change in his pose. 'I thought you would've figured it out by now, smart kids.' He mumbled.
'What?' Katrina blurted.
He cut off Katrina's reaction and spoke. 'Call me David.' Stenson said and continued. 'After all we're going to be working together.'
'Working together? What're you talkin' about man?' John questioned in a puzzling tone.
'We officially welcome you to D.C. Art Crimes.' He said.
They eyed each other and shot a glance back at Stenson without any words to speak. 'Do you work there?' Katrina asked him, for which his reply threw everyone in astonishment. He said, 'I don't work there . . . . . . . . . . I am the one running the Art Crimes Division in D.C.'
He spoke again before they raised the next question. 'I have the legal power to hire anyone I like, anywhere I want. . . . . .' he said and added. '. . . . . and as of now you four are officially appointed as official consultants for D.C's Art Crimes Division.'
They jumped in excitement and thanked him and then Stenson said that they'll be receiving the official appointment orders very soon and left the place.
The four kids eyed Lowrey, who was standing outside the garage near the police vehicle. He signalled a good luck sign to the four of them and they reciprocated it back with a fulfilled smile.
The next few days were quite dull and John Hopkins University has once again become a victim of media controversies but in the end the 'Mystery' remained unsolved. Nobody knew what Mahmood Ron Patrick was after.
In fact, a Good Mystery is the one that could never be solved. A few weeks passed by, after which things were back to normal like nothing had ever happened; but the kids kept on working with their own version of the Mystery, and exchanged their stories each day, hoping one day they would solve it.
Accomplishing the impossible task was one of their specialties.
The clouds were once again bright and clear and the sun shone through it like a gleaming fireball, falling towards the earth.
Yet another new day was born.

About The Author
Dear readers,
Being an Engineering graduate, writing has always been one of my passions, but one of the most important things for an accomplished writer is a good platform. Huge successes always come from small step and I'm very grateful that I've taken that step towards success and I don't care how small it is, as long as it takes me to the peak.
An encouragement & good feedbacks from readers are what that keeps a writer going and in that case I'm proud to say that, even though my achievement is very small - my readers, family and friends have always encouraged me and those motivations kept pushing me here [If I'm right and you're reading my bio right now, then that's where the HERE is - The point where people start reading my works and acknowledge them].
I'll always be in debt for my readers and supporters for their extended support and care. Please keep supporting.
With Love,
FEEDBACKS are most welcome.
