Derec: Parts from my company caused an accident!?
A broken shaft!?
Text: A new case involving an airplane parts company…
Chris’s Dad: That’s impossible!! That frame is brand new, and so are the parts!!
It must have been metal fatigue!!
Man on Phone: Fortunately the wheel deployed in time, so they were able to avoid a major accident today,
We received reports that many of the parts we received from your company have had defects in them,
If you continue to supply us with defective products, we’ll have no choice but to start buying from someone else…
Derec: Wa, wait! Please wait!!
Chris: U…um, Dad…

Page 4:
Derec: Chris…right now I’m really busy…
Please go play by yourself.
Chris: This is boring……
But I guess it can’t be helped…
Because Dad’s really busy…
Sound: Ghraaa…
Chris: Wh..who’s there!?

Page 5:
A broken part…
Again…
SFX: *Sigh*

Page 6:
Arago: Are you the one who called in the report?
Chris: I’m Chris. I’m really glad that you came!!
Arago: I’m detective Arago Hunt, just call me Arago.
Ghari: Is it alright for you to be here on your own master?
Joe: I’ve got some important things to take care of.
Text next to bubble: I’m counting on you. (music note)
Arago: Of course it is, the old man told me to take care of this.
Well, you’re in good hands now. Just leave everything to me!!
Time to get to work!!
Ghari: Ah
Text next to Chris: Ah…
Text Next to Arago: Owowowowowow
Ghari: Are you sure you’ll be alright…?

Page 7:
Arago: So what is it kid?
Chris: There have been weird rumors going around about parts from our company breaking…
And we’ve been losing business because of it.
Our company has released the highest quality airplane parts ever since my Grandpa’s generation!! There’s no way they’d be defective!!
I’m absolutely sure that someone is tampering with our parts in order to ruin our reputation!!
Ghari: Well master? Do you sense anything?
Arago: No, nothing right now…
Right, well I guess I should talk with the staff a little bit!

Page 8:
Derec: Gah,
Dammit!!
At this rate I won’t be able to pay the workers…
SFX: *Knock*
*Knock*
Hello. I’m Chris’s father, Derec Hoberman.
Arago: Hello.
Derec: Um…
Ahem…
Arago: Oh, sorry…
I’ve got a really bad scar on this hand…
Derec: Industry spy!?

Page 9:
Chris told you that…!?
Chris: Dad, look at this!!
It’s a broken part, and someone dropped it at the factory entrance!!
A rival company must have sent in a spy to ruin our reputation!!
Derec: That’s ridiculous. We don’t have any rivals.
I’m sorry for wasting your time detective.
Chris: Dad!!
Derec: I’m sorry to ask,
But I have to leave on a business trip soon, could you please take Chris back for me?

Page 10:
Arago: Hungry?
Chris: Eh?
Arago: I’ve got plenty.
Then you can have some of my candy too!
Arago: Oh, I remember these things!
Chris: Dad used to give them to me all the time.
When I did good on a test,
Or whenever I was upset about something…
But I haven’t gotten any from him lately…the candy…
I want…to do something too…
For dad…

Page 11:
Arago: It sounds like…
You really love your dad.
Cheer up, how about I give you my cell phone number? If anything happens you can just call me.
Huh, that’s weird…
Why isn’t my cursor working?
Chris: I guess it’s a glitch.
Arago: Glitch?
Chris: Yeah, my dad told me about it.
It’s a word for when machines malfunction for some unknown reason.
I wonder why he said that…
Ghari: ……..

Page 12:
See you!! If you need anything just give me a call!!
SFX: *Grunt*
*Grunt*
Chris: Current time, 20:00. I’ve successfully infiltrated the factory!
The mission, capture the criminal at the scene of the crime using my cell phone camera.
Roger!
There is a way for me to help dad!!

Page 13:
It’s after 1:00 am and nothing strange has happened…
*Yawn*, I’m tired…maybe I should go back now…
No way, I can’t go yet. The night’s just starting.
I have to protect the factory!!
I ate all my candy…
Text next to Chris: *Nod*
*Nod*
Sound: Ghraaah!
Chris: Eeek
What was that…Don’t scare me …!!
Eh…

Page 14:
What is that…?
A little…person?

Page 15:
Arago: Well, looks like this time was a miss.
And here I thought it might have been another monster.
What’s with you? You’ve been like that for a while now.
Ghari: It’s nothing master,
What that boy said about glitches. It’s been bothering me…
What was that monster’s name…
Arago: Monster…?
Ghari: That’s it, those famous ones…!!!
Text Next to Ghari: *Spit*
*Spit*
*Spit*
Arago: Ew, gross!!
Ghari: I remember now, they put them in movies a lot too, how stupid of me!!
You’ve probably heard of them too master,
The demonic fairies that nest in factories!! They’re called…

Pages 16 & 17:
