Chapter 10 - Intermittent

"She's here, Della. I've brought her here." Said Mike.

"Bring her to the investigating office." Said Della.

Mike brought her to the office and the old lady was asked to sit in a room and answer to all the questions that was being posed on her.

"Tell me, What's your plan?" Asked Della in a rude way.

"No m-ma'am. I have no plan..." Said the lady.

"THEN, WHY DID YOU GO TO THE RED ROSE MANSION?" Della screamed.

"Ma'am, I had no plan. I just wanted to get rid of you somehow..I gave you that address for you to go far away." Said the lady.

"Why did YOU go there? Don't make me repeat my question" Said Della.

"I-i was there to steal the picture as my granddaughter liked it.I-i'm sorry I shouldn't have." Said the lady.

Lexi opened the door and stood in front of Della.

"Della, she's safe. I just checked her background." Said Lexi.

" You're good to go. I'll be watching you lady." Said Della and sent her home.

"Wow, Dell. Never seen you so serious." Said Mike.

"I'll get serious when I have to, Mike." Chuckled Della.

They decided to go home.

Della was sitting in the kitchen. She was disturbed.

"What happened, Della? Asked Lexi.

"I'm missing something...Lexi. I feel like the old lady was paid to do this act to me and distract me." Said Della.

"Paid?!" Asked Lexi.

"Yes, why would she lead us to a random place? Why did she want to get rid of us? It's all so..odd." Said Della.

" She told us, Della. She was just scared of us and didn't want to involve herself in such a big case. Don't worry too much about it." Said Lexi.

" I...guess." Said Della.

Della gathered the investigators in the living room.

"We need to revisit the Onti Clocko every 2 days atleast ,guys." Said Della.

"Yeah, that's what I was just thinking about. Every time we go there, we get a new clue. Which means that we need to go there almost every day." Said Robin.

They agreed with each other and they decided to revisit the Onti Clocko yet again tomorrow.
