Frazzled

Della called Sir Forsyth and apprised him that she wanted to go to the Onti Clocko to gather more clues.

" No Della. It's not safe. You are aware that it is a very menacing place. What if something bad happens to you?" Asked Sir Forsyth with concern.

"Sir, For the sake of this country, Please let me go." She pleaded him.

"Fine, but on one condition. Go with Robin and Lexi. The best two hitmen aka your best friends." Sir Forsyth Suggested.

"Deal!"

Sir Forsyth called Lexi and Robin over. They were electrified to meet Della again. They walked into the office and opened the brown door. They immediately grinned after looking at her.

They took a seat next to each other.

"Good morning sir. Nice to meet you again." Said Lexi

"Morning, It's so delightful to meet you guys again. You are invited for yet another mission. You will be working with none other than Della." Said Sir Forsyth.

Della felt so contented after meeting them. She started elucidating about the Onti Clocko and gave them all the information that she has gathered for now.

She asked them to hang all the information that they gathered on the red board.

"This is going to be an effortless mission!" Exclaimed Robin Williams.

Even if the investigators worked hard to fetch information about the Onti Clocko, They were yet to accumulate any evidence to solve the mission.

"I was wrong, this is impenetrable!" Robin Williams agitated.

It was dinner. Della and her father prepared delicious Pizza and served it to Robin and Lexi.

" This is so flavoursome! " Exclaimed Robin and Lexi

Della's father ( Arthur) and the other two investigators were wisecracking while Della was ruminating about the mission. Arthur looked at Della and held her hand. He looked deep into his daughter's eyes and tried to stimulate her.

"Della, I know you are deeply thinking about something. Don't stress yourself too much honey. Go to bed as soon as you can." Said her father.

She stood up from her seat and walked to her room. She opened the blue door and turned on the lights. She went to her bathroom and looked at herself in the wide oval mirror with lights around it. When she was standing, she took a deep breath and said to herself

" Fight. You can do this!. You are a beast. No sweat ; not to worry." Della said to herself.

Then, Della sat on her bed and covered herself with a fluffy blue blanket and recited a poem. Again.

"My black face fades,

hiding inside the black granite.

I said I wouldn't

dammit: No tears.

I'm stone. I'm flesh.

My clouded reflection eyes me

like a bird of prey, the profile of night

slanted against morni--"

Della slept already.

It was 6: 00 am in the morning and the investigators were ready to explore the abandoned house aka the Onti Clocko.

"Let's go!"
