25 Overnight on Dream Academy!

Red was still thinking on how the thief stole things unnoticed. though, his thinking of one possibility of how the thief stole things unnoticed. Such as if the thief is working as a night shift in the academy and his good in editing CCTV footage, then that maybe the reason why no trace was left behind.

But if that was the case, the Security office CCTV footage should be only footage he can edit not the footage they had. Since he needed to personally and manually edit the CCTV footage, thus he needed to touch Vanessa's laptop first to edit the footage they had.

"Everyone, I think we need to spend the night in Dream Academy." Red suddenly announced to everyone. They all looked at Red and nodded.

Night in Dream Academy was when the time the thief strike. So, if they want to find clues how the thief stole things unnoticed, then the only way is to be present on the place where the crime would likely happened.

....

Night arrived, Red and his squad was inside ROT-K Detective Club Room, looking at Vanessa's laptop which is connected to every CCTV cameras of the whole Dream Academy.

"This idea is stupid! If we want to find that thief, the best idea is to look around the academy personally than to rely on the CCTV camera's!" James stood up from his chair preparing to leave the room.

It has already been 2 hours, they were just looking at all the CCTV camera's of Dream Academy, and despite that, their is still no suspicious thing or any movement from the thief found

"If we do that, the thief will know that we are observing him!" Vladimir patted James shoulder to stop him. He himself also felt the same as James, but if they did look around, most likely the thief will notice them and will possibly not continue stealing for today.

"How about we let Marvin do it!" Miya suggested. Since Marvin is good in sneaking, then they might as well make someone good in sneaking to do some checking.

Everyone looked at Marvin and shook their heads. Marvin was sleeping on a monoblock chair peacefully, they can't bare to disturb that peacefulness in his sleep just to make him look around for any suspicion movement of the thief.

"Let's just continue looking at the CCTV" Red said before returning on watching the boring footage in the CCTV.

After 30 minutes of waiting, James can't hold his boredom anymore, he stood up from his chair and went to disturb Marvin from its peaceful sleep.

Red on the side didn't bother on stopping James from disturbing the sleeping Marvin. Red was thinking that they can't progress in their investigation if watching the CCTV is the only thing they do.

James shook Marvin's body, and after shaking it for a few times, Marvin slowly opened his eyes and looked at everyone curiously.

"What's wrong?" Marvin asked while robbing his eyes.

"We need you to patrol dream academy" James answered.

Hearing what James said, Marvin yawned and said "Making me do the patrol alone is useless."

Red agreed with Marvin. It's impossible for one person to look around on a 10 storey building.

Red thought for a moment and said "How about let's group our self into two and let's look around Dream Academy. In this way, we can look for each other at the same time make our searching more effective! "

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Choose your partners then!" Red announced before putting 6 communicators on the table. Afterwards, he sat back on his chair and continued looking at the CCTV footage with Vanessa.

Obviously, he and Vanessa were responsible in giving command to his group.

James walked to Leo and whispered something. After a while Leo nodded, grabbed two communicator, and walked to Jade.

"I'll be with Jade!" Leo said before grabbing Jade's hand and leaving the club room in a rush.

"I'll be with Marvin." Vladimir grabbed two communicators before walking out the club room with Marvin.

"I guess it will be me and you then." James extended his hands to Miya.

Looking at the hand extended in her front, Miya immediately understood why Leo left with Jade in a rush. This guy was the one who planned it! She annoyingly thought.

Miya rolled her eyes and left the club room without saying anything.

"Hey wait up!" James grabbed the remaining two communicators before following Miya.

.....

"Marvin, if you were that thief, how would you steal things unnoticed?" Vladimir said while they're walking in the 6th floor hallway.

"I don't know. Why are you asking me?" Marvin replied.

Vladimir laughed awkwardly and said "Maybe you can solve it like before."

Hearing what Vladimir said, Marvin stopped and said "I was like Jade before, causing a few problems, and getting away from it. "

Vladimir understood what Marvin meant, so he nodded and they continued walking on the hallway.

After a few seconds of walking, they suddenly heard a sound from one of the rooms in front of them. They both looked at each other, and coincidentally they were thinking the same thing.

Vladimir and Marvin immediately rushed to that room. When they arrived near the room, they stopped and hide on the side.

Both of them noticed that the room is opened, they looked at each other before nodding. They again were thinking the same thing.

They slowly walked to the room, and when they arrived in front of the room's door, they slowly and silently stretch their heads to see what's inside.

"Do you see anything?" Vladimir whispered to Marvin.

"It's so dark to see anything!" Marvin replied while slowly moving inside. He was thinking, I need to get inside and find the switch to better see what's inside.

Vladimir didn't followed Marvin inside, instead he looked around to look for a weapon he can use, such as a dustpan, a broom, or a map.

After looking for a few seconds, Vladimir noticed a janitors cart with cleaning tools attached to it on the side. He went on that janitors cart and grabbed a dustpan.

Afterwards, Vladimir slowly walked back to the room with a dustpan on his hands. When he arrived, Vladimir suddenly heard a noise inside.

Vladimir prepared himself, he gripped the dustpan hard, and slowly walked inside the room.

When he got inside, and moved just a few steps, he suddenly felt a person bumped him. Vladimir panicked when he felt someone bumped at him. He swing his dustpan and hit the person in front of him really hard.

"Fuck!"
