“Are you all still in there?” asked a male voice.

“Yes we are,” Seron replied.

Seron, Natalia, and Nick were leaning against the wall in the basement room.

In the center of the room, on the cold floor, was the man. He was sleeping like an exhausted child.

And next to him sat Meg, hugging her knees. She seemed to be watching over the man.

“I’m coming in,” the voice said, emerging into the room. It was Hartnett.

“Huh?” Natalia gasped. Nick and Meg seemed surprised as well.

“Where are Larry and Jenny?” asked Nick.

“We’re coming.” “Right here,” they replied from further down the passage. Larry and Jenny soon appeared next to Hartnett.

Larry’s T-shirt was stained with drops of blood. His nosebleed had stopped.

“You all right, Larry?” asked Seron.

“Got socked in the face by a fat guy, but I’m fine. Call this a mark of honor. Sorry to keep you guys waiting down here.”

“So it really was Mr. Murdoch.”

“Sure was! That was a great guess, Seron. Did you suspect him from the start?”

“Yeah. Sorry I couldn’t tell you earlier.”

“It’s fine. All’s well that ends well.”

“What happened up there?” asked Natalia.

“So much. …I can’t really explain, so ask Mr. Hartnett,” Larry said, avoiding responsibility.

“Hm.”

Hartnett looked around the basement, his eyes fully adjusted to the darkness. He spotted the man lying on the floor with his wrists and legs bound by jackets. The girl sitting next to him glared at Hartnett.

“Where do I begin…?” Hartnett sighed, when Seron went up to him.

“Where did you take Mr. Murdoch?”

“He’s with my team. Don’t worry; they’re keeping a close eye on him.”

“Wait, your team nabbed him? Who are you supposed to be?” asked Natalia.

“People who’re used to this kind of work,” Seron said indifferently, “You’re going to take him to the police station, right?”

“What?” “Pardon?” “…”

Natalia, Nick, and Meg reacted.

Hartnett blinked. “You’re a bright one. That’s exactly what we’re doing.”

“What’s going on here?” asked Natalia.

Larry replied brusquely, “Mr. Hartnett and his team are cops. The Confederation Police, in fact.”

“No way.”

“Astounding.”

Natalia and Nick were shocked.

“What are the Confederation Police?” asked Meg.

Seron replied, “The Roxcheanuk Confederation has a very complex law enforcement system. Each member state has its own police force, and the Capital District does too. And the Confederation military has its own military police. The Confederation Police specializes in cases that span multiple member states. They’re extremely powerful and usually deal with things like terrorism, organized crime, and kidnapping.”

“Oh… I understand. That is very incredible.” Meg nodded, although it wasn’t clear how much of the explanation she had understood.

“How long have you suspected me, Seron?” asked Hartnett.

“At first I was completely fooled. But after I saw Jenny’s photo and noticed Mr. Murdoch’s strange behavior, I thought that you might have something to do with the man in the basement. It was strange, for one, that the Ministry of Education would suddenly decide to cover up a window that had been open for three centuries.”

“I admit it was a bit of a far-fetched excuse.”

“I realized that you might be here to
