Chapter 20 - Flabbergasted

Robin and Della were horrified. They couldn't process that Lexi looked exactly like Mike.

"Should Lexi see the picture?" Asked Della.

"We have no other option, so yeah." Said Robin.

Della and Robin decided to go to Lexi's room and show her the picture and inquire her about it.

Lexi was sleeping as it was midnight.

Della decided to wake Lexi up and ask her about this.

"Lexi.." Said Robin.

"Wake up, Lexi. This is serious." Said Della.

Robin woke her up aggressively.

Lexi sprint to the bathroom and washed her face.

She put her glasses on and sat on her bed.

Della and Robin were waiting for her.

"I'm here." Said Lexi.

Della grabbed the phone from Robin and opened the picture.

"Lexi, look at the picture." Said Della.

Lexi's eyes dilated.

"W-what?" Lexi trembled.

"Do you notice that your face and Mike's face are looking so similar?" Asked Robin.

"Yeah. How is this possible?" Asked Lexi with surprise.

"What do you mean by that? You don't know why?" Asked Della.

"Yeah! I have no idea how his face matches mine." Said Lexi.

"Alright." Said Della and left her room.

Della and Robin were still suspecting Lexi. They couldn't believe if Lexi was lying or not.

They were in a situation of skepticism.

"What do we do now?!" Robin Panicked.

"Just act normal. We'll deal with this later. We have to go the Onti Clocko now." Said Della.

The investigators drove to the Onti Clock yet again.

This time, the Onti Clocko surprised them.

It had no other clues left for them.

Della thought it was a good idea to leave the Onti Clocko as they didn't receive any clues this time.

Della went home and she was shell-shocked.

Meanwhile, Arthur sprinted to their room.

"What happened dad?" Asked Della.

Dad was inbreathing.

"Calm down dad, take a seat." Said Della.

Arthur sat on the blue fluffy bed. Della patted him on the back for him to calm down.

Robin and Lexi were waiting for dad to calm down.

Robin offered a glass of water to Arthur to help him cool down.

Arthur finally cooled down and opened his mouth to say something.

" The girl in the picture is..."

"What girl? What picture?" Asked Lexi.

"Lexi, I think dad is talking about the de-pixelated picture!" Exclaimed Della.

"Oh, Okay.." Said Lexi.

"The girl in the picture is Isabelle." Said Dad.

"WHAT?"
