Fourth Letter

The three males of our story Steven , Grell , and Tanav entered the automobile namely the Toyota MPV ( M - Multi P-Purpose V-Vehicle ) Grey in color , tinted windows hiding what is within , in the front and back a plate number meant for cars was showing in big letters and numbers of ABY 8512 with little word below that shows region seven . The car started to twist and turn on the uneven road passing by diamond street , crossing between the shop Pan De Neslinad and employer's Coffee .

It would have been a 2 hour ride if Grell and Tanav din't go to have bathroom breaks and visiting the convenience store for a snack break too . It has been 2 hours and 40 minutes when they have first entered the car they finally arrived in Taho Street they roamed around until they found the gate with the number 1889-D . Grell was the first to step down then Steven and Tanav , first they knocked on the door *knock *knock no answer , ringing on the door bell *ring *ring the door was opened by a woman in her 30's about 5'5 foot tall brown hair and eyes wearing a white blouse and white with a long white flat skirt and a rectangular black pin on her blouse at the chest area "Yes? who is it" her voice came out strained and stressed .

"Hello mam , we are the detectives you hired for the letters and we think that your daughter has hidden it here in a Bible." Steven answered respectably and his voice soft like he was a similar position before this stunned Tanav of his strange behaviour but soon ignored it thinking that Steven doesn't want to anger the one who is paying him . "of course , of course come in would you like any refreshments like tea or water." Irene's mother asked leading them to their dining table "Tea would be nice thank you" Steven said making Tanav's former puzzlement resurface but decided to ignore it again . Irene's mom 'Jessica' prepared 3 glasses with handles and placed tea bags in , the three males looking around the table . When Jessica came back she placed the tea one by one in front of them saying " Please wait here I'll get all the Bibles in our house while you drink tea Jessica leaving the detectives and teen on the table .

After 3 minutes the teas were done so Steven took a sip soon Jessica came back with 14 books and placed in on the table " These are all the Bibles 4 children's Bibles 2 old testament Bibles and 1 new testament Bible . Each of us has a personal Bible we take to church but Irene's Bible is missing I think that she hid the letter there and also hid the Bible." said Jessica placing the 2 or more some books in a stack " Yes , you are correct I also think that she hid it." said Steven sipping his tea . "Excuse me" said Jessica gaining the attention of the 3 humans "I know there are some geniuses but isn't the boy too young to be a detective?" asked Jessica in a concerted voice eyes with worry shown in them .

Grell this time answered not wanting to be forgotten by the readers "Well you see Mrs. Chiol he is a friend of Irene so since he was close to Irene we thought he could help us in this investigation." Grell said trying to be seen professional but failing miserably by biting his tongue at 'help us in this investigation' "So you see Tanav isn't a genius or anything" Grell continues with a face and Tanav gets any at his in return shooting him a glare but lets be honest here he'd wish it wasn't just a glare but instead a flare or gun will do , Grell shivered clearly losing the fight waving a white flag .

"Thank you for you time Mrs. Chiol your really kind you remind me of my wife." Steven said interrupting the idiots "You have a wife , she must be wonderful how is she?" asked Jessica Steven's face larked and he looked down thinking something must have happened to his wife , making Jessica feel bad . "OH! your friends with Irene? I've never seen you together in the canteen ." said Jessica changing the topic Tanav replied with "Thats because I'm in another class Mrs. Chiol we were only classmates at grade 3 before you weren't there in the canteen and you started visiting the canteen at grade 5 ." also lessening the tension , "I see , thank you for being a good friend to Irene you really made my day . My daughter had such a great friend." said Jessica her eyes foggy but refuses to let the water in her eyes pass , Tanav's eyes teary too he immediately hugged Jessica whispering "Thank you" a single rouge tear passing his eyes Jessica surprised still hugged him and patting his back after a few minutes of blissful silence .

*THUD* "what was that!" Tanav asked fast because of shock turning around he saw a boy around 14 years to 15 face on the ground and a toy car near him I think he tripped on that . The boy looked up seeing all eyes on him "Eh heheh , I guess I was caught" the mystery boy said crashing the back of his head , Steven already din't like him the boy was to much like Grell .
