Ninjago Lava Ship - It's messed up

Bring and find

"Very well, Sensei." Zane began talking. "But if it's not too much to ask, could we bring the body with us for further examination?"

Wu looked at other ninja around himself so he could see their reaction on that question. Noticeably, Nya and Harumi weren't glad with that idea, they were already putting their hands on their mouths, Jay wasn't comfortable with it also, Lloyd just shrugged not minding it, Pixal was totally okay with it as she thought about helping with the examination anyway, and Kai also shrugged having his eyes closed and his arms crossed then he said. "If it will help with finding out more information about this situation, I'm all for it."

"Alright then. You can bring it here." Misako started to speak. "I'm guessing the body will be brought down here at the base, right? So anyone who wouldn't be able to stand the sight of it, they will go up to the monastery. Is that good with everyone?"

All ninjas nod and Lloyd stopped people who already started to head to the monastery with something he had to say first. "Guys, first we should listen to the information Nya, Zane and Cole got and they should know what we discovered as well."

"Lloyd is right." Master Wu was the one who talked on the matter Lloyd has said. "While Cole and Zane are getting back to the base, you can talk about what you discovered, both teams. So everyone can know all sides of this situation. Once when Zane and Cole get back, you who won't be able to stand looking at the corpse will go upstairs."

Everyone agreed so Zane first started with what they discovered then after that, Lloyd told their side of the story. While they were sharing information, that was enough time for Zane and Cole to get back to the base. Jay, Nya and Harumi were already ready to go to the monastery and Misako went with them. Pixal went to help Cole and Zane with the body to take it to the lab which was recently made. It's mostly the cleanest room with special equipment for now.

Once when Cole helped them with putting the corpse on a metal table, he went back to the base with stuff which were with the body in that alley. He held them up to show the others who were still there. "This was with that man; a wallet, keys and even a bottle of water."

"So he could have stayed hydrated at least, but he didn't even do that?" Kai asked.

Then Lloyd said. "Give me the wallet, we could find more about this person trough it."

Cole nodded then gave the wallet to Lloyd. He opened it and started looking trough it, then made everything from the wallet fall on the table as Kai and Cole gathered around him to see what was in it as well, while master Wu was looking from afar. There was, as expected, a lot of money, credit cards, personal documents like driving licence, identity card, etc.

"Hah.." Cole slightly mumbled trough his breath while having crossed arms. "Well we couldn't expect more anyway."

"Actually, this is plenty enough." Lloyd said back, picking up the identity card. "With this, we know his name and..." He turns the card to see its back. "...where he lives."

"Good job, Lloyd." Master Wu could be heard from afar, so ninjas turned to face him. "Indeed, you can find a lot from someone's wallet, even more when their address is written on their card. Because of it, you can easily find their home, pay a visit and find more information."

"Are you saying we should break in, uncle?" The green ninja asked with his eyebrows raised.

Before Wu could say anything, Kai's scoff could be heard. Everyone turned to look at him, seeing a smirk on his face. "We don't need to break in. After all,..." Then the brown-haired ninja took the keys which were in Cole's hands, raised them in front of his face while pointing at them with his other hand. "...we got the keys right here. One of those should unlock his house, am I wrong?"

Master Wu, Lloyd and Cole were exchanging looks then shrugged, as Kai did make sense for once. Wu stroked his beard, having closed eyes while nodding. "You're right, Kai. Then, let's send two ninja to investigate this."

"I'm going!" Kai was quick to recommend himself as he already raised his hand.

"Hmm..." Wu began stroking his beard again. "Then Lloyd, you join him. I know you'll be responsible enough to keep an eye on Kai so he doesn't do anything reckless or unnecessary."

"Hey! I can be responsible!" Kai said in defence. "And I'm older than Lloyd, don't treat me like a kid then." He puffs his cheeks.

"There still needs to go two of us so don't take it to heart, Kai." Lloyd packed his stuff into one bag, including the man's wallet and his keys. "Let's go?"

On that, Kai just shrugs, packs his stuff also and heads to his jet.

"Be careful, you two. Don't attract too much attention, keep in touch with us so we know what's going on in the same time as well." Wu proclaimed and both red and green ninja nod then left.

Some time has passed, Kai and Lloyd arrived in front of that man's house. It is almost like a villa, yellow colour with orange-brownish roof, two floors, the entrance has stone stairs with wooden fence next to them on both sides and a yard with a stone path towards the stairs.

"Wow." Kai said, stunned." This guy sure lived comfortably." He then cracked his fists. "Let's go find out why he threw this life style away already." They get to the front door, find the right key to open it then head inside. It looked pretty old fashioned, but still modern, a lot of valuable furniture and other stuff.

"I'll go search the first floor, you can look around here." Lloyd said, heading up the stairs and leaving Kai by himself. On the ground floor, there was a living room, kitchen, dining room, bathroom, pantry and of course, halls. Kai went around first then decided to start the search in the living room. It looked the most modern out of any other room he saw. He explore around until he came across... Video games.

Lloyd, on the first floor, found two bedrooms, one with king-sized bed and one which looks like teenager's room, and both have their own bathrooms even. There was no sigh of anyone there, probably for some time now. In any case, Lloyd started searching the man's bedroom first. There was nothing suspicious, just usual closet full of lavish clothes, even with female clothes, all tidy, no sign of anything suspicious. It was the same with the other room, nothing unusual. It seemed that it belonged to a teenage girl; band posters around, female clothes, make-up, etc.

As there was nothing to do on the first floor anymore, Lloyd went back to the ground floor to see what Kai has discovered. "Kai, there was nothing suspicious on the first floor. But it seemed like this man had a wife and a teenage daughter. For some reason, they are also not here. I already informed the base about it so..." While he was saying all that, the green ninja was going from room to room to find Kai, but of course, he found him in front of a big TV playing video games. "Kai!"

"W-wha?!" Kai got startled and lost in the game. "Lloyd! Don't scare me like that. I was so close to winning!"

"Did you forget why we're here? Don't just make yourself at home."

"Relax." Kai put down the controller then stood up, turning the TV off. "Before I went to play games, I was looking around the floor and saw nothing weird as well. I even figured it out this guy had a family. Just go look at the fridge, so many magnets with all kinds of drawings put on it and grades, and fliers, blah blah. Nothing interesting. Normal family, it seems, just from a wealthy background or something."

Meanwhile, when Kai was speaking, Lloyd went to the kitchen and saw the fridge. He took one of the fliers off into his hands and started reading it. "Huh.."

"What?" Kai went into the kitchen.

"This flier is talking about some concert not too long ago. The teenage girl's room has a lot of posters about this band."

Kai goes to get a better look at it. "Do you think that concert has something to do with what happened here?"

"I'm not sure. Depends on when this family was last seen. We can know about that more once when we get the information from the base."
