Chapter 16 - Cognization

" Della!, Mike Lied!" Yelled Robin just after he entered the house.

"What do you mean, Robin?" Asked Della with concern.

"Remember he read out the Danish text to us? It was wrong!" Exclaimed Robin.

"Robi-"

"I told you he was a fake investigator!" Exclaimed Robin.

"Robin stop!" Della incensed.

"How can you even say that Robin? He might've not known fluent Danish and knew only basic words! How can you accuse him like that? You really get on my nerves Robin." Said Della with a scowl.

"Della, you're unbelievable. You yelled at me for Mike? You're comparing 10 years of friendship to 10 days? I don't want this friendship or this case!" Said Robin.

He dropped the paper which had the Danish text down. He stared at Della.

Robin called Sir Forsyth and told him that he wasn't going to be a part of the investigation anymore.

Della wanted to cry but couldn't.

"Good luck with Mike, Della." Said Robin and left the house slamming the door.

Della flinched.

"What's wrong Della? Asked Lexi.

"Robin wants to leave the case Lexi." Said Della.

"What, why?" Asked Lexi with confusion.

Della explained to Lexi about the photo frame that she found in Onti Clocko and about the Danish text.

Lexi was dumfounded.

In the evening, Mike decided to come home.

"Hey Dell!" Exclaimed Mike.

"Hey..Mike." Said Della.

"What's wrong Dell?" Asked Mike with concern.

"Robin told me that you read the Danish text wrong. He accused you of lying to us. I got mad and yelled him and he left." Said Della.

"I'm so sorry Della. I didn't do it on purpose. I only knew basic Danish and I read it wrong. You know what? I'll talk to Robin about this and sort this out." Said Mike.

Della smiled and thanked Mike.

Della's Father made delicious dinner and served it to them. "Det er den lækreste middag, onkel!" Exclaimed Mike in Danish.

"What language is it?" Asked Lexi.

"It's Danish." Said Mike.

Della stopped eating for a moment.

"What did you just say...Mike?" Asked Della.

"It is the most delicious dinner, uncle..."Said Mike.

"O-Okay." Said Della.

"What's wrong Della?" Asked her father.

"Nothing." She replied.

After dinner, Mike went home. Della immediately ran to her room and took out the picture frame that she found in the Onti Clocko.

" This says Hil masken! Vi bestræber os på at holde det sikkert!. And Mike just said Det er den lækreste middag.

Doesn't the word ' Det' mean it? Then why did Mike say 'We strive to save them.' When he knew Det means it? Did Mike actually lie?" Della said to herself.

Della immediately called Robin.

"Robin, I think you might've been right."
