Chapter 15 - The Mask

"Is anyone talking about Danish?" Asked Michael.

"Yes, we are Mike. Why?" Asked Robin.

"Well, I was taught Danish! I know how to read it. " Said Mike.

"What? Seriously? That makes our job so much easier! " Exclaimed Della.

Mike smiled at her and proceeded to help her.

"So, what do you want me to help you with?" Asked Mike.

"Well, we found this text in the Onti Clocko. It's written in Danish and sadly, we don't know it." Said Della.

"Why didn't you use a translator?" Asked Mike.

"Because, we didn't know how to type it. The words looked really confusing." Answered Della

She showed him the text.

Mike was acting really uncanny.

The text which was written in it was "Hil dig, masken! Vi bestræber os på at holde det sikkert!" "It says... Hail, the king and queen. We strive to save them." Answered Mike.

"Oh..alright Mike. Thank you for your help. We just realised this isn't a real clue anymore." Said Della with a dejected face.

"It's alright Dell. You can do this, okay?" Said Mike and cheered Della up

Della was despondent.

She wasn't sure of how to handle the case anymore. She almost wanted to give up the case and apologise to Sir Forsyth.

Lexi and Della's father tried to cheer Della up.

Robin wasn't convinced with what Mike said.

So, he decided to go and check with another person who knew Danish in the country.

Robin went from door to door and asked everybody if they knew Danish.

Finally, a woman knew Danish. She agreed to read it.

"I might not be correct but I'm pretty sure this says 'Hail, the Mask! We strive to keep it safe!'." Said the woman.

"Hail, the mask? What mask?" Asked Robin.

"I have no idea about it sir. Good luck." Said the woman.

"So, I guess Mike lied?" Robin said to himself.

" I need to go tell this to Della Immediately!" Exclaimed Robin.

He immediately drove home and burst the door open.

"Della! Mike Lied!"
