"Okay, we've just landed in Detroit. Mari, you ready to steal the fire totem?" Rip asked.

"Actually, I'm hoping that I can convince this Macalester guy to give me the fire totem, returning it to Zambezi where it belongs." Mari said, right as Gideon came up.

"Sorry to interrupt Ms. Jiwe, but it appears that we are too late." Gideon said.

"What do you mean?" Oliver asked.

"I've been looking over police reports in Detroit and it appears that earlier this week, someone stole the fire totem from the Detroit Museum of Natural History." Gideon said.

"Probably the same person who tried to buy the Water totem back in Star City." Ray said.

"Mari, you should go anyways. You can use this as a good reason to take the totem back after we find it, since technically, it and all the other totems belong to your people." Oliver said and Mari nodded.

"I'll talk to Macalester, see if he can help us figure out who stole the totem." Mari said.

"I'll go to, see if I can tap into the security footage to find out what happened to the fire totem." Zari said.

"Do it." Oliver said.

"We'll get it back Oliver." Mari promised.

"We have to. Without that totem, even if we find the others, we won't have the power to stop Mallus." Oliver said.

"Let's take this one step at a time. First thing we do is find the person who took the totem and then we proceed from there." Rip said and Oliver nodded.

"I'm gonna go bring Laurel up to speed." Oliver said as he headed towards the quarters they'd been given.

"Wow." Mari said.

"I'm guessing you don't have museums back in Zambezi." Zari said with a smile as the two of them entered the museum.

"Very funny Zari. I won't deny that there are some drawbacks of my job, but at least I don't have to pay rent." Mari said.

"True, but still, you can't deny that you're curious about what else is out there in the world." Zari asked.

"Of course I am, but my people need me." Mari said.

"And yet you're here and not still in Zambezi. In fact, it sounds like you jumped at the chance to get out of your village." Zari noted.

"I admit it, over the years, being stuck in my village my whole life, it's started to get boring, especially since there aren't really any threats to worry about anymore." Mari said.

"So why not leave, let your sister protect your village and explore the world?" Zari asked.

"This totem is my birthright and my duty. I can't abandon it for my own needs." Mari said.

"Fair enough. I'm gonna go find a place to tap into the security grid, you go find Macalester." Zari said and Mari nodded as they went their separate ways.

"Excuse me, can you please tell me where I can find Dr. Macalester?" Mari asked one of the curators.

"Do you have an appointment?" the curator asked.

"Well no, but I think that he'll be willing to make an exception to speak with me." Mari said.

"And why is that?" the curator asked.

"Because I'm from Zambezi and I've been made aware of the artifact of my people that is in his care. I'm here to reclaim it." Mari said, causing the curator to take a better look at her.

"Come with me." the curator said as she led Mari up to Macalester's office.

"Dr. Macalester, you have a visitor." the curator said as she showed Mari into the office.

"I thought I didn't have any appointments today." Macalester said.

"Well, I thought you'd make some time for a person from Zambezi. And I believe it was one of my nation's treasures that you allowed to be stolen." Mari said, causing Macalester to look up.

"Oh, I'm so sorry ma'am, I didn't realize." Macalester said as he noticed the necklace Mari was wearing.

"I see you're admiring my necklace." Mari said.

"Yes, I fancy myself a bit of an expert on Zambezi. Is that?" Macalester asked.

"The Spirit totem yes. Now, tell me what happened to the Fire Totem? It is my rightful property as both a totem bearer and a citizen of Zambezi. That totem is the rightful property of my people and I'm taking it back after I find it." Mari said.

"Understood." Macalester said.

"So what happened?" Mari said.

"No idea, but the totem wasn't the only thing stolen. Several high end jewels were stolen as well." Macalester said.

"Well, do you have any ideas on who stole it?" Mari asked.

"No, we're still looking into it." Macalester said.

"Well, let me know if you find anything." Mari said.

"I will." Macalester said as he held out his hand, which Mari shook.

"Thank you for your time." Mari said as she walked out of the office.
