The Munch Bucket "Eerie" Mysteries - Book II - Sushi, Soup and Vampires

Preface

As you may remember, I was pretty worn out from battling werewolves in the Hollywood Hills with James Dean. As stated, when I arrived at my apartment complex, I found a distressed Bruce Lee's ghost sitting in my lobby signaling for my attention. I was dead tired, but when your childhood idol is sitting on a sofa in your lobby beckoning for assistance without thought you walk over shake his hand sit in the adjacent lounge chair and say...

Chapter 1

"It's an honor to meet you Mr. Lee. I'm probably your biggest fan. How can I help you?"

"Thank you, Mr. Dwake. I need your help very bad. I have come a long way to seek your assistance."

"Anything that I can do to assist you would be my greatest honor, Mr. Lee. You were my childhood hero. I had posters of you all over my room. Whatever you need I got you!"

"I have lost my honor. I must redeem myself for the sake of my master, my students, and the Shaolin Temple!"

"Okay. I got you. But I've got to tell you I only got to a green belt in karate."

"I will not need you to fight for me."

"Good! I mean you're Bruce Lee! Why would you need my help fighting?! Right?!

"Exactly."

I was relieved, but kind of hurt at the same time.

"So, how can I assist you Mr. Lee?"

"Very bad men. But not really men at all. Demons! Supernatural dark beings have destroyed the honor of the Shaolin Temple. The leader of these Hell Spawn, "Tam Lau" challenged my Master and drained his life force. To redeem my master's honor, I challenged Tam Lau, but met a similar fate. Tam Lau then stole the sacred scroll from its ceremonial post located in my dojo in Chinatown. Binding the souls of my Master, my students and myself here on earth for an eternity! I must defeat Tam Lau and return the scroll to free us before the fall of the red moon or all is lost, and we will suffer here till the end of time and beyond."

"That's heavy. Sure, I'll do anything to help. When does this red moon appear exactly?!"

"In one day!"

"By tomorrow night?!"

"The reason for my urgency. That's why it was imperative that I find you!"

"What do you need from me?"

"I heard that you can see those like us."

"Yes."

"I need the services of someone with both a foot in this world and the spirit world."

"That would be me."

"Tam Lau's temple is never located in the same place for more than three days. Word is that you are a detective. I need you to locate his temple before the fall of the red moon so that I can defeat him and reclaim the honor of the Shaolin temple!"

"Actually, I'm not really a detective, more like food service."

"Food service?! Like my cousins who work in the restaurant?!"

"Well, actually I'm like a driver. I deliver the food."

"Like my cousins who work in the restaurant!"

"Well similar, but not exactly."

"But you have helped others like myself?"

"Yes, this is true."

"Good! Remember, the profession does not convey the man. You have performed errands of this sort for others of my kind, am I correct in assuming this?"
