Chapter 9 - Turmoil

"You--!" Yelled Della.

Lexi stopped her.

"Why're you stopping me? Let's inquire her!" Said Della.

" Della, calm down. You realise that we're in Cerveny...right?" Asked Lexi.

"I--Yeah." Della was incoherent.

Della had no rights to inquire the old lady as she wasn't a citizen of Cerveny. She didn't know what to do and she was completely oblivious for a minute. Then she took a deep breath to calm her self down and Lexi helped Della.

Then, they all went home.

"I still don't get why she was there!" Exclaimed Della.

"Just because she was in Cerveny, we can't let her go like that." Said Robin.

"Why don't we ask Mike to interrogate this case as he's a citizen of Cerveny?" Asked Lexi.

"Not him ag---!"

"That's a great idea Lexi! Let me call Mike." Della interrupted Robin.

Robin was annoyed but he couldn't do anything about it.

Della immediately called Michael with a grin on her face.

"Hello?" Asked Mike.

"Hey Michael!" Exclaimed Della.

"Hey, how are you doing?" Asked Michael.

They talked to each other for a while and Della finally came to the point.

"So, the same old lady was standing on the stairs." Said Della.

"You want me to investigate it?" Asked Michael.

"Yes... Can you?" Asked Della.

"Anything for you!" Exclaimed Michael.

She hung up the call and Della was finally satisfied. She had a feeling of contentment.

"Oh, someone's looking extra happy today!" Exclaimed Lexi.

"Yeah, It's something like that." Chuckled Della.

KNOCK KNOCK

"Come in!" Exclaimed Della.

"Hey Della, can I have a minute with you?" Asked Robin.

"Sure!" Said Della.

"Do you really think that Mike is safe? I mean what if he is fooling us?" Asked Robin

"Robin, don't think too much about it. Trust me, It'll be alright. Mike is just a bonanza. I mean, do you want me to believe that it was all a coincidence that we met Mike in themansion and he turned out to be an investigator? " Asked Della.

"But--"

"Robin, go to bed. It's late already we have a lot to do tomorrow." Della interrupted Robin.

The next morning, the investigators reached Lenda. They went back to their house and Michael told them that he would bring the old lady back to Lenda for them to interrogate.
