Human Thomas and Friends Mysteries Book 1, Part 5

"'Mr. Horror,asked Mr. Drew.Where did you leave your coffee?'" Ms. Young's reading class was beginning to read a novel called MR.DREW, BOY DECTIVITE.

Gordon was looking eagerly at the clock. "Another fifteen more minutes," he whispered excitedly. "I can't wait."

Ms. Young stopped reading and looked at Gordon. "Gordon, is everything okay?"

"Yes," he replied. "I was just.......waiting to go home."

Ms. Young smiled. "Just be patient, okay? We only have another half-hour before we have to go home."

Edward turned back around and smiled. He knew Gordon was excited about signing the form. Then the lights went out.

"Who did that!" exclaimed Molly, who was staying by the doorway.

Then the lights came back on.

"Must of been a power outage" said Duck.

Soon school was out.

"Molly, you would not happen to know were Lady lives' now do you?" asked Edward.

Molly smirked.

"I do" she said.

So she wrote down the address.

"Thank you" said Edward.

"What happend to Splodge and Diesel 10?" asked Toby.

"Diesel 10 after he graduated got a job at the Scrap Yard, and Splater and Dodge bacme garbage men" said Molly kindly.

As they left the school grounds.

"lady's address is only two blocks away from here" said Edward looking at the paper.

"And why are we going there?" Asked Rosie.

"To see if we can talk her into meeting the Phantom" said Edward.

"Why?" asked Rosie.

"So we can once and for all find out if it is really Mays who is the Phantom or not" said Edward.

So they set off, soon they arrived, went to the door and knocked. After a few minutes a woman answered.

"Who are you, kids?" asked the Woman.

So they introduced themself's.

"Are you Lady Stone?" asked Edward.

"Yes, that's me" said Lady.

They told her what has been going on at the school.

"My Mays could still be alive!" she exclaimed.

Tears started to form in her eyes.

"That's why were hoping you can help us out in this mystery" said Edward.

"Sure" she said nearly crying.

"Don't cry Lady," said James kindly. "We'll help you find Mays." He handed her a tissue from his jeans pocket.

"Thank you James," Lady said politely. She dabbed her eyes with a napkin. "Now that's better. So, where can we begin looking?"

"We should start from the beginning," said Toby. "That why we'll get half of our clues and figure out the other half."

"Good thinking little Toby," agreed Gordon. "Duck said he has found a pink card on his way to breakfast this morning. Only the problem is, our principal has probably locked the school door. So, how are we suppose to get in?"

"I have a key," Lady replied. "What school do you guys go to?"

"The school's called Sodor-Preschool-Elementary-Middle-High School," replied Edward. "Two inches from the flagpole is the sign that says the school's name."

"It's the same school we've been going since we were little," James added, with a smirk.

Emily glared at him. "We've shouldn't be giving out personal information to strangers like that!" she scolded.

"That's enough Emily," Gordon shook his head, then he turned to Lady. "I'm so sorry about that Lady."

Lady began to chuckle. "That's alright Gordon, I don't mind."

So they set off, soon they were at the school.

"Things have changed since i graduated here" said Lady.

So Lady used here key to unlock the front door.

"Now that were in, where should we go?" asked Rosie.

"The old Special ed hall" said Gordon.

Lady Shiverd. Soon they arrived.

"How do we get in?" asked Henry.

Gordon then ran at the door and blew it open.

"Problem solved" smirked Gordon.

So they went in.

"Well" said Lady.

She was shocked to see the damage.

"Oh, Phantom!" shouted Rosie.

Then a voice rang out.

"What are you doing back here!" came the reply.

Then the Phantom appeard.

"Did i not say to get....." he said before stoping.

"Mays is that you?" asked Lady.

The Phantom stayed floating in place after that voice.

"L...Lady!" stammered The Phantom.

Tears started to form in the Phantoms eyes. He floated a little closer to them.

"It is you my love!" exclaimed Lady.

They hugged, tears fell down Lady's face.

"I am sorry for abandoning you, my love" said Mays sadly.

"I don't care, I am just glad to have you in my arms again after all these years" Cried Lady.

The others started to get choked up by watching this.

"What emotion" said Gordon.

"Lady, now that your here I have something Ive been wanting to ask you for 39 years" said Mays.

"What would that be my love?" asked Lady.

Mays then pulled out a box.

"Will you marry me" said Mays opening the box to reveal a gold ring.

Lady's eye widened.

"of course!" exclaimed Lady.

Thomas and the other boys gasped as they kissed.

"Never expected that" said Gordon.

Then a voice rang out.

"Well, Well, Well, look who it is" said the voice.

Then a 50 year old person with an Aqua blue shirt, grey jeans, and red shoes came up.

"Who are you?" asked Gordon.

"The names Rickety" said Rickety.

They gasped.

"What are you doing here!" said an angry Phantom.

"Don't worry i am not here to make fun of you" said Rickety.

"Then what are you here for?" asked Emily.

"I am here to make amends with Mays" said Rickety.

"Make amends!, it is because of you that fire broke out!, it is because of you bullying me and causing me pain!" snapped Mays.

"The only reason I did is because you never showed what you were hiding underneath that mask" said Rickety.

"Keep lying ya scum bag, I know to well it was Malady who gave the commands" snapped Mays.

Rickety could see that he was still upset.

"I'm sorry for what i did to you" said Rickety.

"We have some questions for you Rickety" said Edward.

"Fine but lets go to a better place" said Rickety.

"No!" echoed a female voice.

Then a figure came out of the shadows.

"I new you would be not far behind, ya witch" said Mays.

"Never thought you would survive the fire" said the figure.

"Who are you?" asked Oliver.

"She is my evil sister" sneered Lady.

"Malady's the name" smirked Malady.

"What are you doing back here!" Snapped Mays in furry.

"To finish you of!" she exclaimed.

She held out her arm and a fireball formed in her hand.

"Take this!" she yelled throwing it.

"Dodge!" exclaimed Mays.

They dodged all the fire balls Malady was throwing at them.

"Stand, Still!" Malady roared.

Soon she stopped.

"You have not seen the last of me!" she snarled.

She disappeared in a cloud of black smoke. They sighed.

"Glad that's over" said James.

"Indeed" sighed Henry.
