  Introduction

  The Millennium Squad and Private Detective, who happens to be a cat, Thomas Fe’line is back in “The Mummy King and the Emerald Stone.” A month after their mission in retrieving the stolen amulet from scorned witches, the Millennium Squad and Thomas finds themselves in an even more complicated mission. When the Emerald Stone is stolen from a museum, Director Morris contacts the Millennium Squad for their help.

  Brave and courageous leader Leonne believes that the mission will be boring and a piece of cake, but when they learn that the Emerald Stone can resurrect sleeping mummies, the Millennium Squad and Thomas know that they must retrieve the stone as soon as possible.

  But what’s this? Thomas cannot shake the sneaky suspicion that there is more to this case than an evil mummy trying to take over the world. Perhaps having Director Morris join the Millennium Squad would help Thomas and the Millennium Squad find out what is truly happening. Will Thomas and the gang be able to stop the mummy king from causing destruction, or will they be blinded by their own doubts?

  Prologue

  It was dark, but the silhouette was able to navigate down the hall with ease. Coming to what appeared to be a door, the figure fumbled with getting it open for a few moments before stepping into the cold room. The footsteps were slow, but the light tapping against the floor made echoing noises. Stopping abruptly, the figure looked down.

  The unwavering body made no movements as a dark head could be seen looking down at something. Whatever this "something" was, it was apparent that it was important. The figure slowly started to tremble as emotions ran through its body. Whether it was emotions of happiness, fear, or sorrow...no one would be able to say for sure.

  Just what was this dark figure looking at? Why was this shadowy figure standing in the middle of the room in utter darkness? Whatever the case was, it was apparent that it was not planning to stay long. Reaching down and touching whatever it was in front of it, it turned around and walked away. The slamming of the door was all that could be heard and in the middle of the room stood an empty pedestal.

  Chapter One

  "C'mon, Theo," Leonne could hear Dylan, his comrade and one of the three members of the Millennium Squad shouting in the background.

  "Absolutely not," Theodore's voice resonated throughout the treehouse. Leonne sat there in silence and continued eating his sandwich. Without looking, the twelve-year-old detective knew what Dylan and Theodore were arguing about. Theodore had just made some top-notch device, and like always, Dylan wanted to be the first one to test it out.

  "You always do this Theodore," Dylan said, placing his hands on his hips. "Every time you invent something, you never want us to use it," the boy shouted. Leonne furrowed his eyebrow but continued eating. Dylan and Leonne knew what the taller detective said was not true.

  "I don't let anyone touch anything until it's been tested!" Theodore shouted with anger seeping through his voice. "What happens if it explodes? Poof! You're without eyebrows!" Theodore said, but even that logical response did not change Dylan's mind.

  "Humph, you're supposed to be all into high-tech merchandise and able to build anything, but I guess people are wrong about you," Dylan said, knowing all too well how to get under Theodore's skin. Theodore pushed up his glasses.

  "And you're supposed to be the strongest out of all of us, but who let a nine-year-old girl beat him up during our last mission?" Theodore said, and Leonne could feel the heat steaming from Dylan's body from across the room. Leonne had to admit that their previous mission, involving the Millennium Squad acting as bodyguards to an eight-year-old boy who was being tormented by a girl in his class, had been quite fun. As big and combat ready as Dylan was, he was one-upped by a girl who was even shorter than Leonne!

  "Both of you knock it off," Leonne said, growing tired of their back and forth banter. Their chatter amused Leonne, but they had work to do. "Instead of bringing up past missions, we should be looking at new missions!" Leonne heard Dylan and Theodore grumble as they made their way back to their stations.

  "Sir!" they both said in unison once they had gotten themselves back together. Leonne turned his head briefly and nodded at his comrades. Fun and play were over; it was time to get back to work.

  "When will you be done fixing the transporter?" Leonne asked. The device allowed the boys to ship evidence and material to the police station in no time, but it had recently malfunctioned.

  "Not too much longer, an hour… two tops," Theodore said and got back to work.

  "Dylan, what's the status of the fight at the underground dog playhouse?" Since business wasn't booming, Leonne had assigned Dylan with the task of stopping the activities at a stadium where people got together and placed bets on dog fights.

  "It's going well, Peaches is winning. I placed a lot of money on her." Leonne turned around quickly and glared at Dylan. Dylan grinned and raised his hands up in the air. "I'm kidding, Leonne. I went in and stopped it last night. The chief arrested the perps this morning." Chief Stewarts made it his duty to provide the Millennium Squad with as much backup as they needed from the police, so it wasn't a surprise that the chief was there when Dylan needed him.

  "Excellent," Leonne said and focused on his own task. He needed to find them a gig, not acting as a bodyguard for a little kid, but an actual mission that would make
