Startling Meeting

The next morning, Della and her friends were getting ready to travel back to Lenda.

They went to the train depot by a cab.

They saw something astounding

" Isn't that the same old lady who was rude to us back in Lenda?" Asked Robin.

"Yes, it is. What is she doing in Cerveny?" Asked Lexi.

"Should we go and interrogate her?" Asked Della.

"I guess it is better to stay out of this" Said Robin.

They all assented.

While Della searched for her purse, she realised that it had gone missing.

"Where's my purse?!" Asked Della.

"Check in your backpack." Said Lexi.

"I already did that, Lexi. It had many valuable things in it." Said Della with a tautened face.

"Maybe we should go back to the hotel and check if it is there?" Asked Robin.

They all concurred and went back to the hotel which they resided in. But their effort proved in vain.

"We should go back to the "RED ROSE MANSION' to see if it was there." Said Della.

"Are you kidding me? We cannot go back to the abandoned house again just to look for your purse! " Exclaimed Robin.

"I'd go to any extend to search for my purse, the details about the case is in my purse! Della exclaimed.

"I agree with Robin, Della" Insisted Lexi.

Della protested.

She was adamant about her decision.

Della decided to go there alone. But Robin and Lexi followed her as they were really perturbed about her.

They all took a cab and went to the RED ROSE MANSION. They got down from the cab and Lexi paid for it.

Meanwhile, Robin and Della decided to open the door.

Creak

A lady was standing there. Robin shuddered.

Della decided to call her. But Lexi stopped her.

Della went inside to search for her purse. The old lady turned and Della found her purse.

When Della looked at the lady, she realised that she was the same old lady who they saw at the train depot.

Della was appalled.
