"When did he came?" asks Sarah.

"I was here the whole time." replies Dr. Hudson.

"Really?" Sarah asks again.

"The thing is that I don't shout like you kids." Saying that Dr. Hudson leaves the room.

"Oh!so Ms. Buckins now I may properly introduce you to all the members of the Midnight Detective Agency." says Khaleed.

"Okay!"

"I am the lead detective of the Midnight Detective Agency and its co-founder along with Nathan. Taz is out informer, being a rich merchant and the husband of Lady Sherlyne, he has huge influence and can gather valuable information. Lastly, Dr. Albert Hudson, who currently is in his early 30s, is our forensic expert."

"Oh! But what about Mr. Drake?" asks Sarah.

"He is tge co-founder along with me.I just told you." replies Khaleed.

"I mean his specific role."

"Ahhh!"

"He is a freeloader." asnwers Taz.

"Hey! What are you saying Taz?" questions Nathan.

"Yeah, didn't your father kick you out of your house?" replies Taz.

Nathan literally destroyed in seconds.

"No no, he is actually a great help to us Ms. Buckins. Taz don't bad talk about Nathan." says Khaleed.

"Okay!"

"So tommorow, we will go after the NightHowls." says Khaleed.This information shocks everyone.

"Isn't it too early?" asks Nathan.

"The NightHowls aim to take over the whole world. They may initiate their plan tomorrow or perhaps even now." says Khaleed

Everyone thinks about the possibility.

"So, it's decided. Nathan safely take Ms. Buckins to her home." 

"Me???" asks Nathan.

"Yes!!!"

"Ummm...Okay!"

"The time now is 2:00 a.m, tomorrow we leave at 11:00 a.m, it will be a long journey, so be sure to sleep properly tonight and pack your bag early morning.

Tay, Nathan & Sarah replies,"Okay!".Meanwhile, Dr. Hudson from his room says,"Kids!!! Just sleep already!!!"

"Yeah! Yeah!" answers Taz.

Khaleed and Taz goes to sleep while Nathan goes with Sarah, to make sure, Sarah reaches her home safely. Sarah's home is just half an hour away from their base, if they travel by foot. Most of the way they were quiet, but then Nathan asks,"Ms. Buckins?"

"Yes."

"Well...Ummm...ahhh..."

"What is it Mr. Drake?"

"Well, why did you call me big brother back then?"

"Oh! that's because Mr. Amin told me to call you so."

"I will kill Khaleed!!!" says Nathan in an angry tone.

"Oh! Please don't! I am sorry! I didn't mean to hurt your feelings Mr. Drake." 

"Oh! no no no! Don't apologise! I am joking."

"That's okay then."

"Yeah! Yeah!"

"By the way, Mr. Drake can I ask you something if you are okay with it?"

"Yeah!Yeah! you can ask."

"Then if you are okay with it, I wanna ask why did your father ask you to move out of your house?"

This shocks Nathan as he did not expect this question.

"Ummm..."

"If you don't wanna answer that, that's okay."

"No no, I will tell you. Hooo!!! Ahm!!! My father is one of the richest man in Eltos, but the think is that he is honest man.He deceives people to gain maximum profit. I don't like his way of working and protested against it,which later turn into a big quarrel, ultimately he was frustated and kick me me out of the house."

"Opps!!! That's sad! I am sorry!!!"

"No no, you don't need to apologie for it. Although he kick me out, but still sometimes in secrecy, I go to my house to meet with my mother and little brother.They keep it secret from my father."

"Ohh!!! You have a little brother?"

"Yes, his age is around 12. Although Khaleed doesn't has any sibling, Taz has a sister, who is around 18, I guess."

"Ohh!!!"

"Although, I am kick out of my own house, nonetheless, Khaleed, Taz and Dr. Hudson never let me feel lonely and that's why I am grateful to them."

"Dr. Hudson?" Sarah seems a little shock.

"Yeah! He may behave a little rude but in reality he is a very good person." 

"Ohhh!!! That's good to hear.That ! That is my house. Thanks Mr. Drake to accompany me till hore."

"Oh!That's nothing."

"Mr. Drake, well, if you ever need to talk with somebody, I will hear you, even if I can't do anything, I will try my best to cheer you up!!!" says Sarah in a cheerful tone with a smile.

Nathan [blushing] says,"Well!!!uhm...thanks!!!"

Sarah [ still smiling] says,"That's my way to show my gratitude. Bye! Mr. Drake!!!"

"Bye!!!"

Sarah enters the house. Nathan then teleported instantly in front of their base.

Nathan thinks,"Tomorrow we are going after the NightHowls, I better get some sleep." 

The next morning, inside the base of the Midnight Detective Agency-

"Nathaaan!!! Hurry up or we will miss the train." says Khaleed.

"You made me accompany Ms. Buckins to her house while the rest of you were sleeping."

"How cruel of you Nathan!!! You expect a young lady to walk to her home alone at midnight."says Khaleed in a dramatic tone.

"I didn't mean that." 

"No more banter, kids, hurry up!!" says Dr. Hudson.

"Look Ms. Buckins has come." says Taz.

Sarah has shown up at the door with a suitcase of her.

"Did you have any trouble sleeping at night, Ms. Buckins?" asks Khaleed.

"No!"

"That's good."

"I am ready." says Nathan.

"Okay! Then everyone into the horse-carriage." says Khaleed.

Everyone get into the horse carriage that was waiting outside the base.

Khaleed says to the coachman,"Coachman!!! Towards the Eltos Grand Station!!!"
