The detectives

            
             Inspired by many detective stories, Kayla always had an ambition in her heart to solve mysteries, catch criminals, stalk the suspects, and at last (but not the least) to serve the nation. Reading detective novels gave her an assurance that she had the spirit of Sherlock Holmes or Perry Mason. Well, in her childhood, she always assumed herself to be Nancy Drew. But she had a deep feel in her heart that she could solve even the most difficult mysteries provided she had the right company. (She tried nagging her classmates only to become the laughing stock of the class.) 
             Would that stop our hero lil' Kayla to stop pursuing her dream? Absolutely not! Now, she became a fan of Enid Blyton's ''Famous Five''. ''Wouldn't be it so wonderful to have cousins who can solve mysteries along with me'' she thought. She now started going behind cousins requesting them to join her in starting a detective agency. She even named the agency as ''crazy cousins'' (she just loved the short form C.C. detective agency).
             Just as the saying goes 'Rome was not built in a day' neither was her detective agency! She had lots of plans (of course, unexecuted ones!). All she had to do was to wait for the opportune, moment to show itself up. And wait for people to join her (she is not Hercules to handle everything alone!).
             She atlast had her wish come true. Problem screwed itself up right under her nose! Kayla was sharing her apartment with her granny, while her parents stayed abroad. What exactly happened was, her granny found some of her jewels missing.
            Her granny was a typical olden era woman who believed girls can do nothing right. This screwed up Kayla to the extent that she became like a volcano waiting to erupt! This theft gave her the right opportunity to do the necessary and prove herself to the world.
             She drew the plan of her area, took a survey of the people living in the apartment, stalked them, made a list of the people coming into the apartment et cetera.. Just them she overheard her granny phone over to her cousin Jaime asking him to come over and launch a complaint in the nearby police station.
             When Jaime came over, she discussed the entire operation she had planned with him. He just laughed as if it was some child's play. He just made a complaint and kept quiet. The police inspector visited them, scribbled something on his notepad and went away. Unlike the other police officers, he was interested in taking a peek into the other houses in the apartment, on the pretext of providing safety precautions.
            That night, a few more houses in the apartment were stolen. And above all, Lily, Kayla's bestie's house was also stolen. So, the three brave musketeers set out to the nearby station to file a complaint on the Police officer. But, no one believed them. Atlast, they made a deal with the trios saying, if they showed evidence, they would take the right action.
             Jaime, being the eldest of the three, took the matters into his hand and set a few hidden cameras all around the building.
And also a few motion sensors was set up in the most unlikely places. Just as they suspected, they caught the police officer right in the middle of the act!
             They rocked the city and gained a wonderful name. The ''Terrific Teens''!
