Chapter 21 - Hostage

" What? Dad are you sure?" Asked Della.

"Yes honey! I am 100% sure!" Said Della's Father.

"Even though, I met Isabelle when she was 20, I can recognise her. " Said Arthur.

Della and her friends were in utter shock.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go to Isabelle's house!" Said Della.

They rushed to Isabelle's hometown.

Della knocked the door.

The door was unanswered. She was impatient and decided to break the door to get it.

Nobody was inside. The house was empty.

"Somebody told her." Said Della.

They decided to ask the neighbours about her but no one really knew.

"We'll need Mike's help." Said Della.

"Della! Don't be so stupid!" Yelled Robin.

"Shut up Robin, we are not sure if Mike is really a part of this." Said Della.

Lexi immediately called Mike and asked him to inquire where Isabelle is.

"Let's go home. We have to wait." Said Lexi.

Della disagreed and continued searching the hometown. But after a while, she realised that Isabelle was nowhere to be found and decided to go home.

Finally, She reached home and knocked the door.

"Dad?!"Yelled Della.

She used the spare key and immediately searched the entire house.

Dad was nowhere to be found.

Della searched the rooms, the living room and the kitchen.

Della searched every nook and cranny and she had no hope.

Finally, Robin found something in her Dad's room.

"Della!" Yelled Robin.

"What happened Robin?" Asked Della.

" Take a look at this!" Exclaimed Lexi.

Della moved closer to them and Lexi had a piece of paper in her hand.

She immediately grabbed the paper.

"W-What?" Asked Della.

The paper was a letter.

This is what was written on the paper.

TO DELLA,

RUSH TO THE ROSE
