Tomorrow afternoon, Carmen comes inside the headquarters like she usually does, this time, she did all the checkouts perfectly to let her inside the secret headquarters, then she goes to the living room, where the Vewolf doll sits on the couch, eating a raw potato.
"Hello, Vewolf!" says Carmen to the Vewolf who's eating that raw potato.
"Hello." says the Vewolf not paying one second of attention to her as he continues to eat that vegetable.
"So. Anything new?"
"Not much." says the Vewolf letting the potato down for a second and after he swelled it. "The Vampire woman almost provoked a homicide."
"What?" asks Carmen shocked. "She did what?"
"But fear not." says Lucian, the ghost of Brighton, walking through the wall of where the couch lays. "She has been restrained and she is into a deep sleep."
"Is she alright?"
"She will be when she will wake up." responds Lucian.
"Yes. She usually does this stuff when even a drip of blood smell reaches her nose. Even a small scar on humans, for example, in one of their five fingers… I think. Does humans still have five fingers?"
Carmen shows her hand to the Lucian, to show him she has five fingers. If she is half-human-half-creature as Individual are saying it to this secret organization, she still has human traits such as five fingers or a human face. But the fact that Lucian has asked this question is quite weird since he was once human three hundred years ago.
"She would go crazy," says Lucian to Carmen and to Vewolf, who was apparently listening to the conversation. "and be on a killing streak for hours. Like one time, she did that in London, and almost has killed fifteen people in a biker club."
"Aha. I understand." says Carmen. "Showing blood to Alexia equal making her jump in a killing streak."
After a while, the leader of the Team 4, enters the room, carrying a clipboard, he sees Carmen.
"Good afternoon, Carmen!" says Navylian to the newbie of the team.
"Good day, Leader!" says Carmen toward her Leader.
"Are you ready for today mission?"
"Yes. What is it?" asks Carmen leaving her couch seat and walks to her leader.
"It is something easy. We have to let you participate into an eating contest in Brighton Little Theatre. And you have to compete against on three men's."
"What? Why?"
"Is because we intercept a signal of an Invisible Man going into there. We cannot find out who he is because he is wearing a fake human skin. And these skins, as how have you saw on Louis, they're really great to fool humans from the first dimension. And these types of Individual can be easily detected by your super abilities of sniffling. All you have to do is join the contest, catch the Invisible man and incapacitate him."
"Okay. But why should I have to join the contest?"
"I was not the one who has put you in." says Navylian. "It was Louis idea. So blame him, not me."
"Why he isn't the one who has done it?"
"He has another mission." responds Navylian. "He is in Swansea."
"Alright…" says Carmen. "Guess I will do it."
Carmen is walking to the hallway, to the room where the armoury room is located to take the device to help her teleport to the place. As she walks to the armoury room, Lucian decides to go ahead to that place to remain there and give support if she would need it.

At the Brighton Little Theatre, a few dozens of people have gathered in front of the stage, some sitting on the front seats, while others were sitting on the last row street. But Lucian, he just levitates on the air and watches the stage. This place does hold a small history of contest like this type taking place, but it most known by the tourist as "not-for-profit theatre company who stage at least ten plays a year in our very own little theatre in the heart of Brighton".
The ghost looks at the stage, where a long table was placed a few hours ago, on that table there are at least hundreds of sandwiches on a few dozens of plates. Sandwiches that contain mostly salami, onions, lettuce, ketchup, Mayo, mustard, sweet sauce and many other things. Contest made by a popular sandwich restaurant who is holding a contest to award the most "Fearsome sandwich eater from Brighton" on a prize that consist of four hundred pounds. Which is roughly four hundred sixty American dollars on 2022. And on that stage, the four contestants are sitting on their chair, waiting for the announcer to sound the gong.
The announcer of the contest, states the rules of the contest. And one of those rules did not state that the contestant should use any liquid to help the person swallow the food faster. Which two contestants have brought at least six different types of tap water with them to eat the sandwiches. They are more prepared for this, than Carmen, who has joined this contest because of Louis.
"Let the contest begin!" says the announcer and the gong starts ringing.
In one second, the two people with water, have immediately started to dig into the sandwiches with less sauce and contents. The other contestant is also eating a few sandwiches on a fast level, while Carmen on the other side, she is barely managing to eat a sandwich in about thirty seconds. The girl may be fat, but that does not mean she can eat almost everything.
After in five minutes, the contest continues to be fierce between the two-fat people, while Carmen and the other dude are struggling to fill their sandwiches inside them. Carmen has chosen the sandwiches that contain the least meat. This may be a good strategy since meat would give you much time to munch it and swallow it, but there are about ten percentage of sandwiches that doesn't contain any meat or less than one gram of meat. And Carmen, has eaten only ten sandwiches without meat. While the other person has eaten two times more than Carmen. And the two people have gone beyond thirty-five marks.
Before the final was about to approach, Carmen, who is on the twenty mark, she notices the person who is eating the sandwiches near her, now those two hardcore dudes, the other one, how his wing is falling off from the head, and it reveals something shocking to the people. It is not the fact that is bald. The fact that there was nothing there to be seen with the naked eye. It was nothing.
And at that moment, Lucian, who was on the ceiling, he lunges to that person, and posses the man. It was a fierce battle between them, but Lucian has won the battle and he had taken full control of the Individual labelled as an Invisible man. He controls the person to put the wing on his head, and he quits from the competition and walks away from the table.
Carmen also signals the jury and the spectators that she quits, which made some female from that audience looks in disappointment to her. One of the women were about to yell to Carmen, but then, something happened on that table, a fat man falls on the table, while the last remaining person has reached the seventy mark of eaten sandwiches. Carmen heads outside of this place, leaving the human applause and congratulate the winner of this disgusting contest for humans who preferably do not have a competitive nature on everything.

On the back of the street, Lucian has walked the Invisible man that he is wearing a human skin, and he throws himself to the rubbish. After he has done that, Lucian leaves his body and he looks at him in angry.
"Who are you?" ask the Invisible man slowly having his fake face sliding down to the rubbish.
"I am Lucian. Member of the Team 4 Hunters. And you are under arrest." says Lucian to that Invisible Individual.
"What?" says the Invisible Individual looking scared. "W-Why are arresting me for?"
"For participating in activity of First Dimension activity of the organisms by the name of Homo sapiens."
"And how can you arrest me?" laughs the Invisible person slowly rising to his feet. "You are ghost. Things like you cannot interact with objects."
"I may not arrest you." responds the ghost, then he slowly levitates away for letting Carmen take the "spotlight". "But she can."
Carmen throws the small sphere that Lucian and Kyle had used it the time they've hunt goblins in Southampton. The moment that device has been thrown to the Invisible Individual, the thing is looking at Carmen, in distress. Then, the teenage girl, without any remorse, she presses the button to teleport the Individual to one of the free prison cells their headquarters are having available to him.
As the Invisible Individual has been destroyed in a million pieces, then teleported toward the prison cells where he will be reattached and look like nothing has happened (some teleportation requires some Individuals to be disintegrated, burned, transformed to dust or other things, but then they get regenerated and transformed back like nothing has happened), the teenage girl and the ghost are mimicking a slap hand. After this, two seconds later to be precise, the teenage girl throws up the sandwiches she has eaten.
"I will kill that Louis." says Carmen after she has made a break from vomiting those sandwiches. "O-One da-day…"
The girl continues to vomit those sandwiches as Lucian remains there, he presses on her shoulders and tell her encouraging words like a best friend from college would do for his roommate.
"Don't worry. At least you did not eat their hot dogs."
