The Investigators, Inc. The Castle Mystery. Chapter 14. Bjorn and Gabby.

Matt and the Knight Riders left the area and once a safe distance away in a city, they called Rossana and told her about Gabby and her men and where they could be found. Rossana then called the appropriate authorities and they went out to investigate. They did find everything as it was told them, with one exception, there were only men’s bodies found, no women. And only one man was outside. That means that somehow Gabby survived and managed to get away, to attack us again another time perhaps.

Fortunately Matt was smart enough to keep his cover to Gabby, only saying that he was settling things because we had helped him and his daughter. That part was true, we did help them. It would have been bad if he had told Gabby that he worked for us. It is still too bad that she escaped though, but at the moment there are more pressing matters. Meanwhile, back at the castle. That dark blue SUV showed up again, with Meinhard, his men and two more young girls.

Bjorn was a bit angry right now, however, due to the fact that the other 2 girls had disappeared. “What did you do,” Bjorn asked, “sell to me and then take them back with you so you can sell them again to someone else?” “I don’t know what you are talking about Bjorn,” he said, “I left them here with you and I saw you lock them up even. If they are gone, that is your fault, I am not responsible for them once they are delivered.” “Okay, okay,” he said, “I’m just upset right now, losing those two boys to the Knight Riders cost me a lot of money, and he will benefit from it.

I have been trying to find a way to get rid of them so they won’t bother either of us again.” “That would be nice,” said Meinhard, “at least there was no sign of them this time, so maybe they moved on somewhere else. After all, they can’t stay in one place too long. He has a large organization to look after. Apparently that bunch that was with him the other day are the best of the best that he has and he always travels around with them. Hey, why don’t you hire that PI to get rid of those Knight Riders.”

“I thought about that,” said Bjorn, “but it looks like their leader, Steve, just got killed by Gabby today. And it looks like she and her men have left the castle now.” “Well, if their leader is dead, then they will likely leave,” said Meinhard, “and that will be good too, they won’t be able to interfere with us.” “True,” said Bjorn, “but I did feel safer with them around, though now that Gabby is gone I won’t have to worry about her, and there is no one else to worry about.” “Have you found anyone else to help you with things?” asked Meinhard.

“Yeah, I brought in a couple of guys from Paris and a couple women from Germany who can speak several languages,” said Bjorn, “and I hired some men from another country for protection, but they won’t be here until next week. Together I will have a great team to work with and will get things moving along quickly. But I need more kids, 2 more girls and 2 boys.” “I can get you all you need,” said Meinhard, “unless that Matt Knight keeps showing up, then I will stay away from you. I do not wish to fight him!” “I don’t blame you,” said Bjorn, “but hopefully he will stay away from us now.”

Just then Kat and some of the girls came walking downstairs. “I see you actually came back again Mudheim,” said Kat, “I thought you would have learned your lesson.” “The name is Meinhard!” he exclaimed, “This is a private business meeting woman!” “Dealing with kids is not a private business meeting Mudhen,” said Kat, “but they sure are cute girls that you brought along with you. Mind if I say hello to them?” “The name is Meinhard!” he yelled, “And yes, I do mind!” Kat ignored him and went over to the girls, who could not understand her.

Victoria was with Kat though and she could talk with the girls. “More of your nieces Bjorn?” asked Kat. “Yeah, they are, but it’s none of your business!” he exclaimed. “Strange that they don’t know you,” said Victoria, “I think they would prefer to come with us.” “Try taking those girls and my men will kill you,” said Meinhard casually. “I would like to see them try to shoot me,” said Kat angrily, and she took the girls by their hands and began to walk away. Then she handed them to Victoria who began to take them upstairs. “Shoot her,” said Meinhard. The one man tried, but his gun would not work.

Kat then kicked it out of his hand. Then the other man took out his gun, but Kat pointed at him and said, “Now you die!” He immediately fell to the floor, dead. The first man just stared at that and Kat then kicked him, hard, to the head and he was knocked against the wall, sliding to the floor and he, too, was dead. A third man came in the door just then and Meinhard pointed the Victoria going upstairs with the girls. That man had a larger type gun which he raised and aimed toward Victoria. However, Dawn pulled her gun and shot the man and he, too, was dead.

“Now, Mudhound,” said Kat, and her body disappeared. Poor Meinhard tried climbing the wall backwards at that point. Bjorn turned to run outside through the kitchen, but Angel suddenly appeared in front of him. “Going somewhere?” she asked. Bjorn was terrified now and fell to his knees pleading with Angel not to hurt him. The police arrived at that moment, arresting two more men outside, plus Meinhard and Bjorn, both for sex trafficking with children and also using children for porn purposes. Plus Kat told them where to find the body of Bjorn’s wife, Gabriella, in one of the sealed rooms below the castle.

The knife he used to kill his wife was there too, with his fingerprints on it. They also found other evidence which the other butler, Stewart, had provided for them. The police had found him hiding with people in the town close by. Zina the maid, was never found however. Marchelline, the cook, also helped with evidence. Bjorn managed to escape police custody somehow and was never found again. Meinhard was convicted and sent to prison where he was mysteriously killed less than a month after arriving at the prison.

We are all back at home again, recovering from our latest case and hoping we get a bit of a break before the next case. Yes, I said “we” are back home. I somehow survived that stabbing, I know that Kat had a part in it, but she said this time Jennifer had the biggest part to play and Samantha said that too. Though for now that is all I am being told. Samantha said she now believes in at least 3 ghosts, something I always say too. Our wounded girls are recovering fine and will soon be ready for action again.

Carolyn, Melissa, Patrick and Samantha are working on a new antidote to that ‘nowhere’ drug, hopefully one that will wipe it out for good. Samantha is now going to be the personal doctor for Sky and myself, plus our kids. Well, it turned out to be a rather odd case, but we did solve the disappearance of Gabriella, which is what we were supposed to do. Unfortunately Bjorn and Gabby got away from us, but I’m sure we will run across each other again sometime. Hopefully not soon. As for little Erika, well, she kind of adopted everyone here, including Uncle Baldwin and Uncle Mandar. So, now we just sit and wait for the next case to come along.

The End. A new case is coming soon!
