CHAPTER 2.2 - Amelia Watson

"That was easier than expected, although buying a new one was hard to find.."

Before I came home to my apartment, I bought a new door for my broken cabinet which Bubba broke earlier. Fixing it was not hard but identifying a very specific design and structure so that it could fit the cabinet was the hard part.

But I'm glad it ended well.

"Time to rest I guess."

I got up and picked up the tools and returned them to the tool box. After that I took a bath with Bubba.

"Never misbehave again, you hear me?", I said to Bubba as I was rubbing his body.

Bubba didn't respond. Well that's already obvious since he's a dog, but owners do this sometimes because somehow we, the owners, always think that they're listening to us.

They may be listening to us or not, this habit has gone to almost everyone who has pet.

"You're lucky you're too cute..", I said as I gave him a kiss.

After me and Bubba took a bath for about 30 minutes. I put some clothes on and made some tea.

After making some tea, I booted up my computer again to continue to work on the case.

'I couldn't find anything on the library today, I sure hope I'll find something on the internet if I search deep enough..', I thought yo myself.

There was also another advantage that the internet has that the library hasn't.

The library takes a lot of time to find a certain or interesting book. But even though it's arranged on alphabetical or numerical order, it still takes time to find that certain book that you want or that book that piques your interest.

The internet on the other hand, already has titles and a little bit of description on the view. You can scroll from top to bottom or view some pictures so that you can picture out the idea of what the main topic is all about. It also doesn't take too long to find a specific topic since you can just search it either in detail or scuffed.

But after searching for another 4 hours on the internet, there was nothing that's able to connect on my case.

"Nothing here either... Damn it.", I grunted to myself.

The specific topic or evidence that I'm looking for is not just about a Mythological city like Atlantis. I'm also looking for a specific topic about the entire sea body.

The reason for that is because of that Tsunami. I'm 100% certain that not a single human being is able to create a Tsunami that size, it's also not brought upon by Nature. So it has to be a creature of the depths, but which one?

The modern creatures of the sea don't have such ability. All they do is hunt, eat, live and survive. Just like us humans.

So it's entirely impossible for those modern creatures to create such a phenomenon.

"But I still found nothing.."

I've searched through countless sites and read many biographies about sea creatures and unknown sea creatures. There may have been some that almost connected to the case but it lacked something. But I'm not really sure what it is myself..

"I should take a rest for now.."

I shutted down my computer and went to my bed. Bubba hopped on the bed as well.

I tried to remember the event that took place at that day and tried to examine every detail that I saw.

Firstly, there was the main phenomenon, the Tsunami. Next, is the person who stopped the Tsunami using the trident by creating a mysterious force field, and somehow managed to split the Tsunami and make it disappear by throwing the Trident at a straight direction. The person also threw it as if that person had a target on sight. Other than that, the surrounding area were full of panic and chaos.

"I still got nothing...", I said to myself.

Bubba heard my murmuring so he looked at my direction and got even closer to me.

I let out a smile and stroke his hair so that he falls asleep.

'It's been a long day today as well, I deserve a nice sleep.', I thought to myself.

I started to close my eyes slowly and let my brain calm down. Then later on, I fell asleep.

*RING! RING!*

"Uwah!"

I suddenly woke up because of my phone ringing.

"Who is it this time....?", I said as I grabbed my phone which was on my side.

I looked at my phone and saw the name Jhon on it.

'Jhon...? Why's he calling at this time...?'

Before I answered the call, I checked the time and it was 2:48 AM in the early morning. So, I only had 3 hours of sleep..

"H-Hello...?", I said after answering the call.

'I'm sorry for calling you at this kind of time Ms. Watson..', Jhon said as he apologized.

"No no, it's okay.. What is this about?", I asked.

'It's about the case that you're working on.', Jhon said.

"What...? Are you still at the office..?", I asked.

'Yes, I still am. The Chief gave me permission to stay late because I was working on a certain case.'

And that certain case is my case huh..

"You didn't tell him about this right?"

'I didn't don't worry. I only told him that I had to work on a case but I didn't specifically say what it is.'

"Good..", I said as I stood up from my bed and looked over at the window on my room.

"So, what's this about?"

'I found out a lead that may connect to the case.'

"What kind of lead?"

I turned on my computer after hearing that Jhon got a lead for my case. It's actually surprising that he's actually helping. And I guess this is also the reason why he had to borrow my white board, because he found something.

'Okay so, you mentioned before that the person used a Trident right?'

"Yes, I did."

'So, I remembered something that my grandfather told me before. It's a story about the Strongest Warrior in Atlantis. Although it may be a fable, but I think it coincidentally connects to the case..'

"Continue.."

'I'll send you the picture of the said fable.'

I got a notification on my computer and it was from Jhon. He sent me pictures about Tridents and a book titled, Strongest Sea Creature.

'Do you see the pictures about the different types of Tridents?'

"Yeah.."

'There are four types of Tridents. A black, which is known for the normal soldiers of Atlanteans to use. Golden Tridents, for the Generals to use. And Blue Tridents, which is used by the strongest Atlanteans. And in that story specified these Tridents, and it also said that the main character of the story had a Blue Trident.'

"Wait wait wait... You said four types right? Why did you only explain three?"

'The fourth one is complicated to explain, but it is a Morphing Trident. Although it doesn't morph to any creatures, the colors of it changes when an Atlantean changes from being a Pacifist to a Genocidal creature..'

"So it's for the traitor's?"

'Possibly..'

"Okay.. Please continue."

'Okay so, the main character of the said fable had a Blue Trident and you told me that the color of the Trident of that person you saw was a Blue Trident right?'

"Yeah.. So that means..."

'Yes. It could be that the person that you saw was one of the strongest Atlanteans.'

"I see.."

By Jhon meant by 'one of the strongest', he means that there are many more huh.. Or maybe he's just not sure since we're talking about a fable.

'So, there was actually a benefit of having the Blue Trident. And that is, while having that said Trident, you'll be able to go to land since you're the strongest. You're not supposed to be afraid of anyone since you can handle yourself in any situation.'

"I see.. So...?"

'What I'm trying to say Ms. Watson is that... What if, that person came back to land? Our land?'

After piecing everything together, I finally understood what Jhon was trying to say.

"Jhon... You actually just solved everything."

'Thank you— Wait, what? I did?'

"Yes! You did! I've been searching for a topic that can connect to the case, but it turns out that you had it all along!"

'Eeh.. Ehehehe. I'm glad to be useful to you Ms. Watson. Ehehehe.', Jhon said embarrassingly as he kept on laughing from joy because of my compliment.

"But still.. Your grandfather told you this story? How come I wasn't able to find the story on the internet?"

'It may be because it's too old.. Like it's not just my grandfather who knows this. He also told me that this story has been passed down through generations.'

"Why? Does it have a secret meaning or something?"

'I'm not really sure..', he said in a worried tone.

"It's okay, we finally have something because of this. But.."

'But..? What's wrong?'

"If you said that the ones who has the Blue Tridents can come in land.. Does that mean that that person can come back here as well?"

'That's my point being Ms. Watson.'

"Holy shit you're actually a genius Jhon.", I said as I accidentally let out a curse word.

But Jhon completely took it as a compliment despite having the curse word.

'So, are you going to investigate that place even more?'

"There's no other choice. If that person did come back, then I should be able to see him/her."

'I'll wish you goodluck Ms. Watson.'

"Thank you Jhon. Like, genuinely, Thank you. You really helped a lot."

Jhon took my compliment and we said our Goodnights and turned off the call.

I planned to go to the place at this time but my mind and body still needs some more sleep.

"I guess I'll start to move tomorrow at a specific time.", I said to myself.

I saved the pictures that was on the computer to my phone so that I could at least investigate the said picture.

But I also have to at least find the said book somewhere, I don't want to take another step without actually checking everything out.

But I guess I'll do everything tomorrow, for now. I shall sleep.
