Beyond the creaky, wooden doors, he caught a glimpse of a completely unexpected site. From the outside, the building appeared abandoned and rusted, with an official, bright sign that seemed to yell at all passerby's, "KEEP OUT! DO NOT ENTER! CLOSED TO WATER DAMAGE!" But inside, it felt like a mixture of a Spanish Hacienda and a modern, government building. He followed the path inside, and heard the doors slam behind him. He continued his path inside, to view a brightly lit main room, with bustling people running around throughout the downstairs and upstairs spaces. His focus darted straight ahead, and he noticed a large office only separated from everybody else by giant, wooden shutters. At first glance, the office was quite an elegant workspace. But once his detective skills set in, he noticed the expensive artifacts, and an intricately carved teapot, with golden vines and hazel foliage. A cup sat next to the pot, steam billowing out of the opening.

"Huh," He pondered. "Someone just poured some tea in there." His gaze shifted to his right, where he saw another enclosed workspace, but with 4 desks conjoined into two opposite tables. He entered the space, and immediately focused on the desk to his left. He came to a stop, and stared at the objects littering the maroon desk. The poor desk looked like it was drowning in paperwork and a million tiny memorabilias, ranging from a set of elephant figurines to a mug overflowing with pens of different brands. He shook his head in amusement once he glanced at the name tag, of course her desk would look like that.

"Good morning, Mr. Deeks." An aged voice greeted from behind him. He turned around, and smiled.
