 Many policemen looked busy in the early hours of work. Although there are those who work outdoors, there are some who work indoors, in the Creamland police station. While their friends catch criminals and fight crime, those in the station take care of paperwork. Some policemen were kept in the station as reserves, in case something happens to the main policemen.

Eddie was in the police station, because he had a ton of work to do. He was left head-scratching when he came across the papers on his table, but he slowly got over it. The same situation could be said of Big Man, although he looked more relaxed.

While they were working, Big Man took the time to talk to Eddie. He asked, "Yo, how much paperwork is left for you?"

Eddie gave a sad face, but smiled as though he was forced. He then replied, "A lot more."

"Good luck," the big-sized Big Man replied. "I say the same thing to myself."

"Not much we can complain about," Eddie said. "This is our duty after all."

Meanwhile, Joe and Jamal were in the mosque. Jamal entered the mosque, but Joe was unsure whether he could so the same. However, Jamal said it was okay to enter. The two Js entered the mosque together.

Jamal's purpose of entering the mosque was to meet the religious teacher in charge. Jamal would sometimes attend the teacher's religious classes in his free time. He was curious as to the right way to recite some words in the recitation book. Thus, he sought help from the teacher.

At the same time Jamal was walking to find the teacher, he came across a thick-bearded figure. The figure was also wearing a white robe usually worn by the religious teachers in the mosque. The figure was then reading a religious book but, he soon turned his attention to Jamal. He looked at Jamal with bright eyes.

Jamal turned his attention elsewhere. He eventually met the teacher, and went on by telling him his problems.

"Good morning, teacher," Jamal said.

"Good morning, Jamal," the teacher replied. "What brings you here?"

"I came here because I need help with reading this," Jamal said. He showed parts of the religious book that he did not know how to recite.

The teacher understood, and went on by teaching Jamal hoe to recite the right way.

The thick and long-bearded figure was reading when he noticed Joe sitting in front of him. Joe was playing his phone. The figure looked upset and frowned before returning to his book. However, when he saw Joe playing again, he said something.

"Good morning!" the figure said to Joe.

Joe was shocked with the loud voice. He soon replied, "Good morning, Mister."

The figure said, "What brings you to this beautiful mosque?"

Joe replied, "Err...nothing much. I am eating for my friend."

The figure said, "You mean that brother over there?” while pointing to Jamal.

Joe said, "Yes."

The figure then asked, "What is your name, brother?"

Joe replied, "My name is Joe."

The figure looked confused. "Joe...? Are you a people of this religion?"

Joe said that he was not. Then, the figure said, "An infidel cannot be here. Haram!"

"But my friend said I can," Joe replied.

"Haram means forbidden. You cannot enter this masjid, because you are not pure fron impurities."

"I took bath this morning."

"Still you are an infidel. HARAM!"

"Look, I do not know what your problem is, but..."

"Do not mess with me, brother."

Jamal was finished discussing with the teacher. He then asked who the figure he saw earlier on was.

"Actually," the teacher said, "he is a policeman. He recently moved here to carry on his work."

"Really?" Jamal said. "He does not look like a policeman."

"Jamal, do not judge a book by its cover."

"Where does he work?"

"Occasionally, at Creamland Police Department. He is a detective."

Upon hearing his teacher's response, Jamal looked surprised. It looked like he just met a new friend, and more surprisingly, from the same department. However, he was not fine seeing his friend Joe and the bearded police quarrel. Jamal went to them to help solve the problem.

"What is going on here?" Jamal asked.

"You!" the police said. "Why do you let your infidel friend enter the mosque? Is it not haram?"

Jamal replied, "No, it is not. Anyone can enter the mosque, regardless of religion, but they all have to be well-behaved."

The teacher joined the conversation. He said, "Jamal is right, Mr. Policeman. Anyone can enter the mosque. In fact, I know Joe right there. He is one of my friends."

"Brother," the police said, "you are making a mistake. We should not befriend infidels. They are our enemies!"

"Brother," the teacher replied, "God never told you to treat people like that. Please do not call people an infidel directly. It is not kind."

"Really?" the police asked.

"Yes," the teacher replied. "By the way, what is your name?"

"My name is not important," the police said, "but you can call me the Haram Police."

"Okay, Mr. Haram Police, nice to meet you," the teacher said.

Jamal then greeted the Haram Police.

"Hi!" Jamal said with a smile. "I just heard you are a detective in Creamland."

"Sure I am," the police replied. "I want to keep things safe, and keep people away from the forbidden."

"Am I forbidden?" Joe asked. "I know I am not like you, but I do not believe that I am an infidel."

"Joe," Jamal said, "please relax."

"Fine," Joe replied. "I will, as long as he does not mess with me."

"Do not worry, brother," the police said. "I only do the right thing."

Figuring there was no point in quarrelling, Joe left the mosque with Jamal. After they left, the Haram Police continued his recitation. His phone would soon ring. He was given some urgent work that needed to be done.

The man on the phone was the police chief. He said that a group of archaeologists disappeared from the excavation site in Swan Falls, near Swan River. In a few seconds, the Haram Police changed to his casual clothes, but he kept his skull cap on. With that being done, he rushed out of the mosque to go to Swan Falls.

Around the same time, Joe was walking home when he received a call from a policeman, a friend of his. It turned out that there was a person flying around the causing trouble at the city. The person called himself Flyer. Joe was also informed about the Swan Falls incident, but since he was already near the city, he and Jamal decided to check the flying man out.

Joe parked at a safe place and immediately after getting out, he saw some sort of flame being released towards the road in front of him. A hole was created, one of many already present on the long stretch itself.

"Looks like my powers are super," Flyer said. He then declared, "I, Flyer, will be king of the city, then the world, and I can get rich!"

"Is that so?" Joe shouted. "I would like to see you try."

Jamal told Joe to follow him and hide before they both get fried by the flame.

"What is the plan?" Joe asked Jamal.

"Looks like we have to do this carefully," Jamal said. "I try to distract him, while you find a way to disable his flying machine."

"Good idea," Joe replied, "but I want to keep that machine."

"Forget that now," Jamal told his friend. "We have to stop the Fyler before he hurts others."

Soon, they both made their moves. When Flyer was still on the air, Jamal went out of hiding and ran. Flyer saw him. Jamal just shouted, "Hey, catch me if you can!"

Flyer just replied, "With pleasure."

Jamal ran off to get away, with Flyer close behind. However, Flyer proved too fast. At the same time, Joe was thinking of following the action behind Fyler, but he found something else. He found masked criminals guarding a van, with hostages in it. Joe thought he had to rescue the hostages.

He went sneaking towards the criminals, and without time to lose, he punched one after another. However, one of them grabbed him from behind. Luckily, a strong Joe managed to break free. Later, he received help from Masked Man. Masked Man took the criminals down without many problems. The criminals were caught, while some surrendered and ran away.

Flyer was trying to catch Jamal but, eventually, he did it. He floated to the air at high speed and threw Jamal further up. Jamal was terrified and was close to landing backbone first onto the pavement, but Masked Man was there to save him just in time. Masked Man managed to grab him and saved him from death.

A determined Joe saw that Flyer landed. He then shouted, "You there! Take this," and quickly shot his water pistol. The impact from the water pushed Flyer to the ground.

Flyer was quick to get back up, but he stumbled across the Haram Police. It turned out that the police did not go to Swan Falls because the city was nearer to the mosque. Besides, other people were flocking in Swan Falls, to get insights on the excavation incident.

The Haram Police said, "Look who the cat dragged in."

"Excuse me?" Flyer said.

"Excuse yourself," the Haram Police said. Then, with a hard punch, the Flyer went out cold. His assistants, the masked criminals appeared later. Four of them, to be exact, but they decided to surrender eventually.

"It is forbidden to wear excessive clothing, Haram!" the Haram Police said to Flyer.

"Ouch! That really hurt!" Flyer replied.

"Care to talk more behind bars?" the police asked, while holding a handcuff.

Suddenly, Flyer took out a remote. Once he pushed one of the buttons on that remote, a light flame burst from the bottom of his flying machine, in turn elevating him further up.

"No chance for me to get caught, not this time!" Fyler said as he left the area.

The policemen regrouped. They were going through a difficult day, with another mystery yet to be solved. However, they would focus on the investigations at Swan Falls. Regardless whether they caught Fyler or not, they decided to concentrate more on the incident at Swan Falls.

"Say, Jamal, you okay?" Joe asked.

"I am fine, thank you," Jamal replied. "Thank you, Masked Man."

"You are welcome," Masked Man. "Just thought of helping because I appeared to be on town."

Joe said, "You were always in town."

Masked Man nodded.

Joe asked Jamal, "Are you going to Swan Falls?"

"I guess not," Jamal replied. "I need to rest after all that action."

"Good," Joe said. "You deserve it, by the way."

The Haram Police was already moving in his car. He definitely looked spirited to fight bad people. Joe proceeded after sending Jamal back to his house. He initially went with Masked Man sitting in his car, but Masked Man disappeared. Regardless, Joe realised he had better things to do.

As he drove off the neighborhood, Masked Man looked from a distance. "Good luck, detectives," he said softly.

It took 30 minutes, minus traffic, to get to Swan Falls. The traffic was the main problem for Joe, and it left him stranded on the highway. He eventually found a shortcut through an old tunnel. 'What a relief', he thought after he moved away from the crowded cars on the highway.

The detective arrived late, but people were still working. Some policemen searched the area for clues, while some journalists were still eager to cover the story of the archaeology team's disappearance. The evening sun was shining bright, and many people were drenched in sweat, including Joe.

Eddie was there with the police chief. While the chief got busy with the media, Eddie moved away from him to meet Joe.

"Joe, about time you showed up," Eddie said.

Joe replied, "Sorry, but there was heavy traffic."

"Forget that, anyway," Eddie said. "We have a lot of work to do here. Have you met Mr. Haram Police right here? He is..."

Eddie was briefly introducing the Haram Police to Joe, but Joe already knew.

"It seems that we have to work together this time," the Haram Police said.

"Really?" Joe said. "All right, then, just as long as you do not call me names."

"Whatever you say," Haram Police said.

"Where is Jamal?" Eddie asked.

Joe replied, "He had a rough day, so I sent him home."

"I understand that," Eddie replied. "It is okay. But we got to find more clues."

While people were busy working in the Swan Falls archaeological site, some suited individuals appeared. They shoved police officers, telling them to move away. It turned out that they were rival archaeologists. Joe and Eddie looked on.

Their leader was a well-known archaeologist named Albert. He looked well-built and muscular. By wearing a suit, he looked bigger than he already was.

Albert went near the archaeological site's entry, which is a small hole, and said, "All of you, please pay attention. Now that the whole team has vanished, it is my turn to dig in this vast area, to make amazing discoveries, find amazing evidence of ancient human civilization down here." With that, he took a small lever and entered it.

A few policemen, including the chief, went against Albert, but he did not care much. He just pushed the lever down. With that, down he went, possibly to the bottom of the site, where it is very dark.

"He was not supposed to go in there," the chief said.

"Nobody should," Eddie said, "but if the others are down there, we should try our luck."

"Are you serious, Eddie?" the chief asked.

Big Man also asked the same thing. "Yo, are you serious?" he asked.

"Absolutely," Eddie responded. "In fact, Joe will go down there with me."

"What?" Joe responded in surprise. "But I do not see well in the dark. Why not you take Haram Police instead?"

Haram Police started to argue with Joe. He said, "You go down there! Eddie told you."

"Well, I think you should instead of me. I told you, I do not see well in the dark," Joe responded in anger.

"Grr..."

"Grr..."

Eddie cooled his friends down.

"Brothers, please stop, seriously," Eddie said to them. "Why not you both go down there?"

"What about you?" Joe asked.

"Fine," Eddie replied. "I will."

"Hooray!" Joe exclaimed. "Thank you."

"Let us get moving," Haram Police said.

The three policemen used the same lever to go underground, but something terrible happened on the way down. The wire accidentally snapped, sending them down at a fast speed. They eventually landed underground, but the lever was broken and there was not much they could do about it. Eddie landed on the hard surface and suffered a back ache as a result. However, he was slightly recovered afterwards.

Joe could not see well, so he borrowed Eddie's torchlight. The Haram Police followed them into an opening in the base of the site. They initially found nothing but, once they went a distance, they realised the existence of precious gemstones and coal. They did not know whether they were authentic or not, so they went ahead with their task, which was to search for clues. Probably the clues might help them locate the missing archaeologists, if they are still alive.

As the Haram Police moved, he fell to the ground. Eddie and Joe reluctantly helped him get back up. However, once they all stood on their feet, they encountered bats. The bats moved fast like the wind, pushing the three off. Some bats left the underground and that alarmed many people, including the police. Fortunately, no one was hurt. The three police carried on until they found a dead end.

Although it was a dead end, it did not look exactly like one. There was a crack around the wall. Although the wall could not be opened, they tried hard. Eventually, the Haram Police heard a sound of someone approaching.

All of a sudden, the rounded crack opened up, and Flyer appeared. He pulled the Haram Police and slammed him to the ground. Joe and Eddie would then be dragged off to the ground as well.

A painful recovery it was for Joe, as he hurt his ankle. When he opened his eyes wide, he would be surprised to see the missing archaeologists found. However, they were all tied up. Meanwhile, Flyer folded his arms and called for his boss.

"Boss, we got company," Flyer said. A suited figure eventually appeared, with a golden bull sculpture on his hands. That figure was Albert. It turned out that he was behind the disappearance.

"Albert the archaeologist?" Joe said. "Why?"

Albert replied, "Yes, that is true. Why, you ask? Well, I am a well-known archaeologist, and my reputation was going great until this gang of misfits came to the scene. They stole my reputation and, as a result, I am going to regain it."

Joe was confused. He said, "What mask is that?"

"This," Albert replied, "is a replica of a Minoan mask. It is gold and worth a million in value. It is also mine."

Joe asked, "What about those gemstones and coal?"

"Those gemstones," Albert replied, "were just part of the distraction. The coal, however, is real."

Eddie started talking and said, "Where are the real gemstones?"

Albert replied, "That is none of your concern. You are wasting my time."

The Haram Police looked a little angry. He stood and said, "This is haram." Albert did not understand what he just said.

The police continued, "This, what you are doing, stealing the golden mask, gemstones, and so on, is haram. No question about it. Haram means forbidden..."

"Who are you to tell me that?" Albert shouted.

"I am just," the police replied, "a policeman."

"No," Joe said. "You are the Haram Police."

Haram Police looked at Joe with an angry face at first, but then he turned his attention to Albert and Flyer. He said, "You know what? I am the Haram Police."

Joe added, "Your actions are unquestionably forbidden, even in the law. Like my friend said, that is haram!"

Haram Police said, "You still think we are friends?"

Joe said, "We talk about this later, all right?"

Haram Police said, "Okay."

"I do not care," a furious Albert replied. "Prepare to meet your doom! Guards, seize them!"

With the order, guards wearing bull masks appeared. They brought along wooden sticks to beat their prisoners up.

Unknown to Albert, one of his guards acted out of character. He stood behind another guard and hit the guard's body with a stick. Then, another guard took down two guards. Albert could not believe what he saw. The policemen, who were about to get beaten, were puzzled by the turn of events.

Soon after they took down the other guards, the two 'guards' removed their masks. It was revealed that they were actually Jamal and Masked Man.

Joe was amazed. "Jamal? How did you find out?"

Jamal replied, "The clues our friends found are very useful and leads us here."

Joe asked, "Well, nice to see you are okay now."

Jamal laughed and said, "You can tell."

Albert had just about enough. He ordered Flyer to fire the flame to the policemen and Masked Man. However, Joe shot his water pistol just in time to throw Flyer off to the ground. Jamal proceeded by throwing small stones before activating electricity to the stones. Flyer could be electrocuted and his flying machine caught fire, but Joe put the fire out after he activated his extinguisher mode on his water pistol. Fyler lied on the ground almost motionless but still breathing.

After witnessing his friend being taken down, Albert decided to run. He wore the golden bull mask and brought a large plastic bag with him into his truck. However, he was too late. The police eventually arrived at the destination and he was arrested.

"No!" he shouted. "I am the true champion, the best archaeologist. You cannot arrest me. No!" He was taken to prison anyway.

A few policemen removed the bag from the truck. Once they opened it, they were surprised to see actual gemstones and even coal. There were also some golden plates, and beautifully decorated plates. One of them said, "Wow! I did not expect to find these precious things." The policemen were surprised indeed.

As for the archaeologists, they were freed and moved back to the surface from the underground. Albert's team of archaeologists retreated elsewhere. Meanwhile, Joe talked to Jamal.

"Nice teamwork just now," Joe said.

Jamal replied, "Oh, it was nothing. I just help out when I can."

"We all did well," Joe said, "which makes me happy."

Then, the Haram Police appeared. He looked at the two Js with bright eyes. Initially, he just stared at them. Then, he smiled.

"Oh, great!" Joe said. "You finally smiled."

Haram Police replied, "I did not say that I cannot smile."

"This is funny," Jamal said, "but it is good to see you all in good terms."

"Are we?" Joe said, with his eyebrows raised.

The police said, "Brothers, I learned a valuable lesson today."

The Haram Police said that the two Js, along with other friends, taught him that religious difference is no barrier to peace, justice and good teamwork. He also realised his mistakes earlier in the day, and promised to never make them again. With that, he offered an apology to Joe, which was accepted.

Later, the Teacher came to see them.

"Brothers," he said, "I believe that you had an interesting adventure."

"Sure, Teacher," Jamal said. He went on with the story. They all talked until it was time to go back home.
