We sat the Inspector down in a chair where we were sitting. I grabbed a towel behind the counter. ( With the cashier's consent.) And handed some to the Inspector.
So what happened?
"Well eariler today he visited me at my office after I went back to the scene where I bumped you there." The inspector statement. His face looked like he was flash-backing to the moment.
(Bumped isn't the best word for right now. I have second degree burns I'm pretty sure.)
"The poor man left his badge on my desk. So I went to go return it. He left just a few seconds ago. I was sure I could catch up to him."
"I'm guessing you never found him." Mr. Wright deduced.
Inspector nodded like he did something terrible.
"Did the guard at the front give any good information?" Luke asked.
"He said 'I saw Mr. Barton walk in sir! I never saw him walk out sir!'"
Inspector said, deep in misery.
"Hmmm." Luke scratch the back of his head.
(Wow Apollo great help huh.)
"Maybe we can look for him?"
Phoenix proposed.
(I don't know if he's bluffing or telling the truth anymore. My bracelet's confused as well.)
Hmm maybe we can do it?
"Let's do it!" Luke agreed. Then Luke reached into his pocket grabbed a notebook and started to write down and doodle.
Mysteries
#1 How did Comet S. Ucide die if the Professor is innocent?
#2 Where is Barton?
Each mystery had a doodle, a mysterious shadowy silhouette with a gun for the first one. Then the is a dotted  line frame where I assume to be Barton that has a ? inside.
Wow Luke you're a really good artist.
"Gee thanks!" Luke grinned.
"I don't know how to thank you enough my boy but you sure know how to work wonders so I'm not worried." The Inspector huffed. Then the Inspector left Flora's shoulder's high.
Then I heard footsteps from the staircase. Flora, Athena and Trucy walked down. Athena and Trucy in each hand were holding a duffel bag full of clothes.
Luke clapped his hands together and said "Alrighty then let's head back."
