Ian, Leo, and Lucy are thinking about where and how they can find the basement?
After a small discussion, they decided to search the whole house, they searched everywhere inside the house but found nothing.
The phone rang and the call was from 'The Mister' again.
Ian picked up the call and said, "Hey Mister, were you joking about the basement as we searched the whole house but couldn't find anything?"
The Mister replied, "No, I was not joking, Of course, you will never find the basement, you are just kids."
Ian says, "Yes, we are, so give us at least a clue."
The Mister says, "There is a stranger walking outside your house, deal with him, I will tell you something later."
Beep..
Beep..
The Call ended.
Ian, Leo, and Lucy saw through the window, there was a man in a black coat with a gun in his hand.
The Man in the black coat rang the doorbell.
Without opening the door, Leo said, "Who are you and why do you have a gun in your hand?"
The Man said, " I am a detective and I have proof that there are three individuals living in this house, who are working with the "THE KILLERS."
Ian replied, "THE KILLERS, I have heard this name but no one here is working for them."
The Man said, "Can you call your parents, I want to talk with them."
Ian replied, " Our parents are currently not here, they will return in thirty days."
The Man replies, "I will leave my card on the door, call me when your parents return."
The Man left and Ian picked up the card. The card was from a detective agency titled, " FTRT Agency"

Leo said, " Leave this, Let's search for the hidden basement again, this time let's search outside."
Leo continued, "You know, I have seen in movies that the hidden basements can be found after something attached to it is moved, you know just like how sometimes when the head of a statue is moved and (woahhhh) a secret door opens."
The expression on Lucy's face change !!!
.
.
Leo says, " Let's search for things that we feel can work as a secret mechanism for hiding the basement."
Lucy says, " I will check again inside the house, You two look for something outside the house."
After some time, Lucy calls both Ian and Leo and says, here look what I found- A key.
Leo says, "You found a key, Where?"
It was in the top drawer, in the kitchen.
"Now we need to find the door or lock which will get unlocked with the help of this key."
.

The scene shifts to Mr. and Mrs. Delome's;
They are in a coach on a train, the whole coach is empty, there are just three of them.
Mr. Delome, Mrs. Delome, and a stranger.
The Stranger says, " Do you know how risky this mission is?"
Mr. and Mrs. Delome reply, " Yes, we do, but don't worry that's why we were assigned this mission of protecting you."
The stranger says, "Of course, Of course, I know you two are reliable but returning from this mission is impossible. You know, where this train is going, to a city where..."
Mr. Delome replies, " Yes, Yes, we know a city of Goons and Terrorists. They don't have moral values. You can't sympathize with them."
Mr. Delome continues, " But do you know what our city was like before the group 'THE KILLERS' was founded?"
Mrs. Delome says, " It was the same, it was hell. So don't worry, you are in safe hands."
In 13 hours, we will reach the place and our mission will start.
.

The Scene shifts to Ian. Lucy and Leo;
They are discussing where to find the lock of the key they just found.
The Mister calls again and says, " Found the hidden basement yet?"
They reply, " No, but we found a key and we don't know where to find the lock?"
The Mister replies, " Oh, you found a key but that key is a fake, don't you think you are under-estimating your parents?"
Ian says, "What do you mean by the Key is a fake, and that we are under-estimating our parents?"
The Mister replies, "Do you really think that they will keep something so important in front of your eyes?"
Ian says, "Give us a clue at least."
The Mister replies, "Oh, a clue, I think it's the perfect time to give you a clue, I will give you a clue as this will be the last time we will talk if you ..."
Leo and Ian say, "Last time, what do you mean by that?"
You will know, here is the clue;
ASK LUCY, SHE KNOWS WHERE THE BASEMENT IS?
AND
ALSO ABOUT WHERE THE LOCK TO THE KEY THAT
YOU WILL FIND SOON?
Ian and Leo were shocked to hear these lines and say, " Are you out of your mind, Mister, First you say that our parents are hiding something from us, now you're saying that our sister knows where the basement is? Who are you, Mister?"
The Mister replies, "It's not just the basement, your sister knows about your parents too."
Ian and Leo (again in shock) say, "What do you mean by ABOUT OUR PARENTS?"
The Mister replies, "Ask her yourself. We will meet soon."
Beep...
Beep...
The call ended.
Leo and Ian turn to Lucy and ask her, " What is the Mister saying and what is the meaning of all.....
Before they could complete their question, Lucy...
