Electrive Detective

ELDT 1 - Chapter 1 - Case closed

March 25, 1952 USA, North Carolina. The city is barely sleeping while dark clouds shadow the night sky. The streets were empty; not a car or animal crossed the road at midnight. Except a few people with a truck, parking near a museum, filled with tons of artifacts and treasures. There were five men and carefully infiltrated the back door of the building; barely making a sound while going in. The group looked around, looking for any guards that might be around...but no one was here. Only the soft sound of their footsteps.

"This is easy...too easy..." One of them whispered.

"That's because we're too good. Come on." Another replied and headed for a room filled with ancient treasures. Taaffeite, Californium, Osmium, Silver and gold. Masks of warriors, weapons of ancient fighters and many more. But they aimed for a specific diamond, that beats all the valuable things in the room. They stared at it while the diamond glistened in the ray of their flashlights.

"Go and check if any guards are patrolling around, we'll stake care of this." One of them commanded.

Three of them nodded yes and wondered off. They looked around, only to see more artifacts as they entered another room. But the silence seemed...too eerie. One of them couldn't help but look behind him every six seconds; a bit scared knowing he and the rest are taking a big risk. But if they succeeded, the price would be worth it. He turned around again, thinking he heard something. But there was nothing and sighed in relief.

Suddenly, a hand out of nowhere grabbed his mouth before he could make a sound.

The other two scanned the area, but their attentiveness soon faded as they were entranced by the historical treasures.

"Wow...how much money do you think this thing will bring us?"

"Would you pay attention? That...thing isn't important. We're only getting the diamond." He replied, a bit irritated. But the guy continued staring at it. Unaware that his friend was knocked out. He looked behind him, seeing his friend laying on the ground.

Before he could say something, he got knocked out as well.

Meanwhile, the other two managed the get the diamond without sounding the alarm. They carefully grabbed it, treating the gem as if it was a holy kind of material; staring at the sparkling lights.

"You were right. We ARE too good."

"And it will only get better." They whispered.

But then, two hands grabbed their neck and both started shacking; as if they were getting electrocuted.

"It would if you guys got away with it." Said the detective who surprised them from behind. The two fell on the ground and groaned in pain. It was Elec Man, along with his best friend Crash Man, who made quick work of the criminals. He picked up the diamond and placed it back into its case.

"Busteeeeed~" Crash teased.

A few minutes later, the police arrived and took the criminals towards to the place where they'd be facing justice.

"Really good choice to create a Sting to catch these guys." An officer complimented.

"It wasn't that hard to figure out knowing they created a pattern during their hunt for historical treasures. They First started with collector item shops, then moved on to the museums and grabbed the most valuable things." He explained.

"Let's hope we can get them all back. If anything bad happened, they're gonna have to pay more money then they wanted to gain."

The two chuckled a bit.
