Elements, part 6
Artie's Office
Warehouse 13
South Dakota
1:54 AM
The good news is, they know how Burley's sculpture was stolen, now: by means of a buckskin coat that apparently lets the wearer walk through walls. The bad news is, they found this out because the owner of said coat stole the second sculpture in the series out of a moving truck, pushing Pete Lattimer out the wall onto the street. He's in the hospital, and Artie and Leena are on the floor of the office, books, notes, maps, and photographs scattered around them like fallen leaves.
"Pete's fine, but somebody else could get hurt." Artie thumbs through his copy of The Beginning of the World in North America: Aboriginal Myths of Origin. "Where does that buckskin coat come from? Is it connected to the sculptures somehow?"
Leena sighs. "There are hundreds of these Native American creation myths..."
"I know, I know. I still think that the feather, however, gives us our best clue. Anyway." More page-flipping. "The feather was predominantly used by the Delaware nations, and also by the... a-ha. By the Lenape tribe. They're the ones who sold Manhattan to the Dutch for 24 bucks' worth of arts and crafts."
"That's not a great deal."
"You had to be there," says Artie. "And according to Lenape legend, the world was created through the spirits of four elements. Fire gave us our soul; wind, our breath; water, death... it's fascinating. And rock, which gave the w--" He stops short and stands up. "Leena? Rock gave the world solidity."
"So someone has a buckskin coat that--"
"--manipulates solidity." Artie nods vehemently. "I think this whole thing could be a pattern. Because if there are Artifacts that control the other elements, and somebody were to acquire those Artifacts, that somebody would have immense power over--"
"--the world," Leena murmurs, going a little pale.
"At the risk of sounding dramatic," says Artie.
"That's never stopped you before."
"That's true."
