The clock ticked 1655 hrs . Today was the 27th of June . " It's time , I guess . You two , stay here " , Dawson stretched his hands as if getting ready for a combat . Perhaps it might be true . Dawson took his coat , dressed in a rather slow motion and left the apartment .
A minute passed by . " He should have reached the top of the building by now , I guess " , Robert said .
" So do I " , I added .
" How do you think he might look ? " , Robert started a conversation .
" I will go with a high class man wearing luxurious jerkins and suits , neatly combed hair and a rather square or rectangular face " .
We were forming images about the man . " Perhaps a person in 40s " , Robert suggested .
" Dawson thinks that he is a left hander . He used blank space for every word ending with a letter on the left hand side of the phone and did not for those pertaining to the left . Also spelling errors were more because of the letters on the left which means he took much care for the right hand side . So obviously a left handed person " , I said thinking about his unique ways of finding things .
" Well he has his own methods for sure " , Robert grinned .
" However do you still think that this person would come all the way up here just to give the clue ? I don't think so , do you ? " , Robert questioned .
" I have no idea . People these days are unbelievable . You never knew what would happen . Like in case of a fantasy movie where the directors play with the minds of those who see their play " , I said .
" You , bet ! Well actually people like going to such movies where their minds get twisted " , he said laughing hardly at his own joke .
I realised that I was the one who changed the topic from a really serious one disturbing our mind to something normal worth chatting about . However we weren't that disturbed now after a lot of talks .
It was 1730 hrs and there was still no sign of Dawson . Robert suggested to go to the terrace and see what was happening . " But he said both of us to stay " , I reminded . He agreed.
It was two minutes after we got exhausted with our talks that there was a loud knock on the door and then the doorbell rang twice . " It must be Dawson in need of some emergency or help " , Robert jumped off the chair and rushed to the main door and opened it .
" What happened Dawson ? " , He asked very fast .
Dawson was rather cool . He didn't show any signs of distressed in his face . That means we are out of troubles . It was only then I noticed a cake in his hand . " What is this all about ? " , Robert asked casting an interrogative look on the cake .
" The classic bonanza . Try them . It would be tasty " , Dawson said .
" You were right or wrong Dawson ? What happened out there ? Did he give you any clue ? " I asked .
" Yes I was correct . He indeed wanted to give me a clue " , he said with a satisfying smile .
Now what would that clue be . How did the man look .
" Nothing happened out there . He didn't come " , he added and smiled again .
" Then what is the clue ? How could he have given the clue without coming ? " Robert asked .
" Obviously . The cake " , he smiled again.
