"By God, where's Sneeves, Lori?" Said Winifred.

Lori looks around the corner and sees Sneeves still playing Sleekeo Cards with the other two.

"Oh, Winifred, he's just playing Sleekeo Cards with them." Said Lori. "He's not really interested, I guess."

"Alright," said Winifred. "Arty, listen." We want you to tell us more about who founded this school, and can you keep a secret?

Arty looks on confused.

"Why, I never thought about it, but I think I can keep a secret, if its juicy enough." I guess.

Winifred looks on dismayed.

"Look, it's like this, we may know who murdered Osbourne." But, we cannot say so yet. Said Winifred.

Arty strides out of his seat and leans against the wall, turning his face to a forty-five degree angle.

"But, you know girls I knew Osbourne personally." I knew his Father too. He was a big kingpin around the school. But he was also the heir, and descended from the royal family, which he inherited the school from. The school was built by ordinary people but the structure. He pauses. The structure was mapped out by Master Cornelius. He was a very creative individual, as he begins to stride on through the classroom. The windows were opened gently to let some sun light in, which blazed through the glass, and crept along the desks, the blackboard, and the chairs. He was a genius. He flat out said: "he blueprinted the whole school."

"But, Arty we have the map of the school already," said Winifred, loudly, puffing out her chest to mimic a man's stance.

"Well," Arty patiently said. The map is of THE school, but not the entire school. You better believe, he said that this school holds many secret pathways, many secret tunnel. Who knows how many rooms this school has?

"So," Lori said. The blueprints of the school reveal the entire school? Not the map?

Arty looks up refreshed and said: "The Entire School."

Winifred walks up to Arty agitated.

"And where do we find these Blueprints?"

"Well," beckoned Arty. They're not easy to get your hands on. His nose looked like a small sprouted plant. "You girls are asking for big trouble if you think you can just get your hands on those Blueprints just like that." Because the Masters are guarding it. They keep it on security watch. No one. I mean no one, will be able to get their hands on it that easily. And even if they did, his hands thrown up, they would be expelled, or worse, tortured by the Masters.

Winifred walks up to Arty, braver than she usually is and yanks his coat.

"Look, Arty, we just ran into a Master not too long ago and you know what, we weren't scared not one bit." Winifred said. Right, Lori? ...Lori, right? She turns to her.

"R-right, Winifred," said Lori. So, Arty, tell us how do we get into the Masters headquarters, and how do we sneak out the blueprints? She said.

Suddenly, Sneeves walks into the room.

"Bwahahaha." Listen, guys, he said. I beat those guys at Sleekeo. Its one heck of a game, I tell you that. So, whats up?

"Sneeves, close the door," Lori said.

Huuuuuuuush, as the door closes behind him.

"Listen, Winifred," Sneeves said. If we run around the school like this, meddling in other people's affairs, we might as well, turn ourselves in now. There's no way we will continue to get away with this, he said, rolling up his sleeves.
