Chereads / The Adventures Of The Detective Lara / Chapter 10 - Investigation Continues

Chapter 10 - Investigation Continues

I examined the office more and found a secret door on the wall. I tried opening it , but it was locked.

I tried looking around if there was a way to open the secret door.

While rummaging through the bookshelves , I saw a huge red button behind the books.

I pressed the button and there was another click with which the secret door opened.

I was not feeling astonished this time ; it is just her way of hiding things in different places , in such places where your thinking can't reach , of course , except Gwendolyn.

I went inside and there and found myself in pitched darkness. I could not even see a single thing there. I kept walking straight , thinking if I could find something like this , swinging my hands around here and there like a blind person.

Walking straight for a few seconds , Something came on my way because of which I tripped. "OUCH! WHAT THE HECK....?!!" I shouted.

I stood up very slowly , massaging my foot slowly and saw a staircase in front of me.

I started to climb those stairs and reached a room- no a closed terrace all made from glass with a beautiful view of the sea , small plants with beautifully designed pots were hanging there , There was a very comfortable and cozy chair.

Staring at her terrace in awe? There is no tine for that. Think what could be here instead , you dummy! My mind said this to me.

So I started looking around. While touching the pots of plants , I noticed that they rotate. But why? What is the possible.reason for it to rotate?

After rotating it for a few seconds , I heard of a sound of huge metal door opening somewhere outside. I ran to the place where I heard the sound from.

I found myself at the swimming pool. It opened. But the thing is , it looked like a ordinary swimming pool. What could be so secretive in a mere swimming pool??

I decided entering inside because come on , it's Gwendolyn's house. Nothing is ordinary here.

So I jumped inside. It was a really deep swimming pool- 20ft approximately. It wasn't a normal depth for a swimming pool , like who will put a swimming pool having at depth of 20ft?! It's better to swim in a river than in this type of "swimming pool".

As I was experienced in swimming (kind of) so I was able to swim to the floor of the pool. I saw a small metal door there.

I opened it and went inside. It was a bit dark , suddenly all the water got sucked through by something and I fell on the hard concrete floor.

"OW!" I shouted. After standing up , I noticed that the whole room is full of red lasers.

Either this laser will kill me or this will notify Gwendolyn that I am here. I thought. I kept walking , dodging , jumping , crawling to avoid them.

I reached another door. Feeling nervous on what suprise this time I am going to get I opened the door.

The whole room was empty no signs of anything. While staring at the room with a blank expression , Suddenly a huge cage formed from the ground ; exactly where I was standing.

I was trapped. Suddenly a dark figure emerged out of nowhere , suddenly the dim lights got brightened.

A woman with brown coloured short hair , evil looking eyes , fair skin , green cat - like eyes , wearing a jet black long coat. It was none other than Gwendolyn Greengrass.
