Description It's been 2 weeks since we opened the detective agency of ours, and the business is...well, let's just say that it is not very lucretive, to say the least. There have been no calls, no cases, the living room is always quiet. and the telephone is so dusty. you can easily mistaken it for something that has been in the attic for 20 years. The coffee table is still as good as the day it was minted, which is to say that it has not been use for quite some time now. On the desk right now is a conglomerate mass of pencils, erasers and rubber bands, all come together to form what seems to be the Eiffel Tower, a pass time activity for the unsuccessful business owners, Amadeus and Camilla. Who has been doing nothing since the morning. Nothing but handcrafting the office supplies Eiffel Tower, of course. The quiet, peaceful  atmosphere is the cut short by the voice of Camilla.
"Well this sucks!"

"I know! It's been 2 weeks and still no cases. I mean, we basically selling ourselves here. 3 people investigating paranormal activities, what's not to like?"

"probably because our office is in a very remote locations."

"that's the only way to get our enemies of our back"

"And the fact that we use the little money we have left for an advertisement that air during 3 am. Internationally! Without consulting me first!"

"Hey, we pay good money to install that special commercial. It's a special type of memetic effect that help cloak us from the foundation while still guarantee people watching it, the only downside was that it's only air in 3 am."

"We could have go around asking for cases."

"Like 2 random people, plush a clay doll, going around asking for cases is totally not suspicious at all. Trust me, once the phone rings, we won't have to worry about saving money anymore, even my bad investment in NFT will become minor inconvenience."

"You what!!!"

Before Camilla could choke Amadeus neck, the phone rang. 

"see... arrrcch....Customers"
"Hello, A B & P detective agency, how may we help you? uh huh, I see. Well don't worry, we will be there as soon as we can. Just give us your address and phone numbers. Uh huh, okay, thank you."

"Who was that?"

"Only our first ever customer! Maria Ramirez, 9 years old, said that her neighbor's lawn came to life and ate her kite. Her parents did't belief her so she call us for help."

"let's go then."

"I told you the advertisements work."

"I will cut your allowance when we get back, doc."

5 hours later

The trio, Amadeus, Camilla and Poirot arrive at friendly neighborhood in Wyoming. Where they meet their little customers, 9 year old Maria. When they first met, she cried so much that the police thought they were kidnappers and almost arrested them, twice. After some softswirls later, she finally calm down and tell us the whole story. After the lost of her favorite kite and the monster she saw, sh hasn't been able to sleep a wink, and when she told other people no one believe her, so she decided to call the group for help and is willing to pay 200 dollars that she nicked from her dad's wallet. After taking the trio to the house, she said goodbye and immediately skitter away to let them do their job.

"This town seems quiet, don't you think. I mean, from what we heard the thing just popped out in the middle of the day and no one seems to notice." Said Amadeus.

"It is a rather small town, and this neighborhood has very few people living in it. Not to mention that there are even fewer children here and that the adults are at work during that period. Plus no one here own pets.''

" this is just kinda sad."

"It is, but at least it still has a kite-eating lawn living among them, that's something."

Before we could continue or conversation any further. A massive tremor shaken the ground as the pavement starts to crack and the grassy terrains start to change, becoming more and more distorted, bigger, more...animalistic. The beast has reveal itself, it has smell food, it has smell...us.

"OK, you telling me that no one else in this neighborhood is seeing this beside us? this is bullshit." said Amadeus

"Quit complaining and help me deal with this thing." Camilla said.

Amadeus use his ability to control magic and shoot a fireball directly into the creature, but it seems to be unfazed by this. The same can be said for the curtain of hot fire that Camilla throws at it. The burned areas are quickly heal and disappear as if it was never there.

The creature try to crush them using its root-like tentacle. But they barely dodge it. Amadeus fries a barrage of lightning bolts into its tentacles, but those also quickly regenerate. Acids, poison, bullets, swords,...nothing we do seems to damage it that much. Just then, Amadeus realized something. The creatures gaping mouth, it is the only vulnerable part on the creature, if they can somehow get through the mouth and into the innards, they can sure to take care of it. But the mouth itself is protected by large fangs and row upon rows of sharp long teeth. All seems hopeless until we remember, we have a small yet trusting companion with us, Poirot. Poirot quickly shrink himself to be just big enough to get through the creatures defense, then turn his body into acid and start to dissolve the creature's vital organs. The creatures wail in pain as it's desperately tries to regenerate some of its organs, only for the damage to be too severe. Eventually, the creatures cannot bear the damage and died, turning back into the harmless lawn form.

"Well, the day is save once again, thanks to me, for telling Poirot what to do."

Both Camp and Poirot look at Amadeus, clearly not taking his statement seriously.

Came asked: "So what are we going to do with this thing?"

"Since it is dead and no longer able to regenerate itself, I say we burn it to crisp."

"The first and only good thing coming out of your mouth today, doc."

The creature was set ablaze, as the creature walk away, not looking back.

After they told her that the creature is dead, Maria thanks them a lot and pay them an extra 500 dollar (Nicked from her dad's waller, off course) and set us on our way.

" What a nice little kid" said Amadeus
"By the way, how much did you spend on the NFT, doc" Asked Camilla
"I wonder if Maria's parents will ever find out if she stole he money"
"Don't try to steer the conversation in another direction!"
