Another Challenge

It was the next day; Della and her friends came back to Della's house.

Della introduced Mike to her father.

"Thank you for helping my daughter in this case, Mike." Said Della's father.

"It's my pleasure, Sir." Said Mike with a delightful smile.

Lexi seemed very exhausted.

"Lexi, I think you should get some rest." Said Della with concern.

"It's okay, Della. I can't sleep peacefully without solving this case." said Lexi.

"No, Lexi. Health is not valued until sickness comes. You have to take a break." Said Della.

"If you fall sick, It will be a menace." bantered Robin.

Lexi couldn't say no anymore, she acceded and went to her room.

"Alright, Della. I am leaving now. We'll meet tomorrow. Said Mike.

"Okay, Mike. take care." Said Della.

Mike was staying at a hotel in Lenda. He went back there.

"Della, are you sure we can trust him?" Asked Robin for the hundredth time.

"Robin, can you stop already?!" Said Della with annoyance.

Robin pulled a face.

"I'm going to the Onti Clocko." Said Della with a firm voice.

Robin startled. "Why are you going there again, Della?!" Asked Robin.

"We didn't complete our investigation yet. I came back because I felt like Mike and Lexi were exhausted. I put up an act for us to go home." Said Della.

"Then, I am coming with you, Della. You can't go there alone." Said Robin with concern.

"I'm glad, Robin." Della giggled.

Della went to inform her father about this.

Della's father said, "Dear, I am really proud of you and your determination in achieving everything."

"Thank you, Dad. You are the one who supported my decisions and motivated me in everything I did. You are my inspiration. I will solve this case for the sake of the country we live in." Said Della with a valiant voice.

"I am sure you will." Said Della's father.

Della smiled at him and started her journey along with Robin.

They went to the Onti Clocko once again. They explored every corner of the house.

They did not find any clue.

There was a big photo frame in a corner of the house.

A young lady's picture was portrayed in it.

"We almost searched every corner of the house." Said Robin.

"R-Robin, do you think we should search behind the frame? It is the only place we haven't explored yet." Suggested Della.

Robin and Della went forward to remove it.

It was very heavy, but they succeeded in removing it.

"WHAT IS THIS?!" Asked Robin with a terrified voice.

"Does this mean we are going to get another clue?" Della grinned.
