Raiders of the Lichtenstein Library

It had been a long week for Jasper Scunthorpe and Wilfred Pebble. After performing a dangerous heist a few days earlier, the daring duo were tired and needed their beauty sleep. However, nothing could stop them on their mission to return the five, rare, unread books of Lichtenstein. During the events of The Reginald Mansion Burglary, it was revealed that Robin Reginald had stolen these books on a trip to Lichtenstein and that the books were in fact The Five Unreadables of Lichtenstein.

Wilfred and Jasper collapsed on their bed (the hotel only had a room with a race car bed left), they were exhausted and needed their beauty sleep. They instantly fell asleep and travelled to the realm of dream land, thinking that every little thing was going to be all right. How wrong they were.

Jasper woke up screaming, he had had a nightmare in which a crocodile headed god had been chasing him with a whip and demanding his monthly rent. He reached around the room to grab his glasses and put them on. They were Wilfred's but he could just about make out a man standing in front of him in the dark room.

The man stood tall, about 5'11 and wore an unmistakable white suit that almost shone beneath the midnight moon. "Aaaah, you are awake" grinned the man as he unfolded his arms and walked towards him. His accent was French - possibly Monégasque - and strikingly sensual. "I demand you give me those books, in the church: Les fruits de la mère at midnight tomorrow. If you do not appease these demands, then I will brutally bombard this buffoon of yours with a ballpoint pen knife." The man pointed below him at Alfred Lennie, who had been gagged and tied up with some sort of rope. Jasper nodded, what else could he do? The man smiled, turned and slid away, dragging Alfred with him.

Jasper fell back to sleep and woke up the next day feeling peckish. He thought about what happened last night and had assumed it was a dream until Wilfred screamed at the sight of the blood on the floor. Jasper uttered a foul word and contacted the hotel owner. The owner summoned the best detective in the entirety of Lichtenstein to assist the boys: Detective Frick. Frick was a popular and well liked detective. She had solved many crimes, murders and tax evasion cases but most famously of all (and this was the reason why Jasper trusted her the most) she had single handedly stopped TACA when they had attempted to burn every single Christmas Tree in Lichtenstein. Jasper had high hopes that she of all people could assist them on their quest.

"Ok boys, I have a plan." Stated Frick calmly "You two will go to the church and deliver the books to the man whilst I will sneak up behind him and capture him". They all agreed that the plan worked and made the most sense for the situation so the trio arrived at the church and prepared for their meeting.

At exactly midnight, everything was in place and both doors of the church opened. "Wilfred, Jasper" nodded the man, still in his white attire, "My name is Mr. Montpelier and I'm here for the books". The Detective slowly crept up behind Mr. Montpelier as he glided towards the delightful duo. "You have them I presume". Wilfred nodded and passed the books to him. Mr. Montpelier smiled "I'm assuming your also going to want this detective to shoot me as well". Wilfred and Jasper gasped as the Detective aimed her gun at the doubtful duo and began to laugh maniacally. "I've always wanted to finish every single case" gloated the Detective "And now I can finally understand who, and what these books are.". There was no way out of this situation, Jasper had tried reading the Book of Sobek earlier (Though he couldn't read hieroglyphics) and nearly opened the Very Hungry Caterpillar until he remembered...

The thousand year old virus.

With a giggle of glee, Jasper opened, and through the book at the devilish duo before him. Then, he and Wilfred could only look on as they began to cough. Coughing and coughing, blood started coming up, it was around this time that they called an ambulance and they were taken away. Jasper and Wilfred went on to return the novels back into their original place in the Lichtenstein Library and returned home to call it a week.
