Chapter 9 - Denouement [ part: 2]

The next morning...

"So, guys, let's play..."

"Yes."

After a while...

According to the plan, we arrived at our separate locations.

We were connected to each other through AirPods, and Kayl was managing everything and guiding all of us.

"So, first, Kain..."

At the entrance, Kain spotted Sera.

After looking at her, he said, "She's exactly like her photo... Literally sweet and sharp. I'm going to start."

"Hey, beautiful... Myself, Samar Benus. I guess it really suits you, right?"

"Excuse me! How do you know my name?" she asked.

(I pointed towards her name badge.)

"Okay... so?"

"So what?" I said, looking continuously at her with soft eyes.

She was like, "Oh, God..."

"Samar?" Sera waved her hand in front of my eyes.

"Oh... yeah!"

.....

"Aarav, is everything okay?" Kayl asked.

"Yeah. Mayble is on the way. She's searching for the room where the files are kept, and I'm outside the door."

"Yeah, I know. If there's any problem, I'll inform you, okay?"

"Kayl, where's the van?" I asked.

"Yeah, Advik. It will arrive within a minute."

"Okay... over."

"Okay, Mayble speaking. I found the room where the files are kept... over."

"Good job."

"It's Advik. Zayn has replaced the driver, and we're in the van... over."

"Kain?" Kayl asked.

"Hmm."

"Okay?"

"Hmm."

"It's Sera, my dear."

Everyone froze. No one made a sound.

"Hey, why did you go quiet? I know you're his friend and you're trying to help him with me."

"Of course, actually... you were successful. I like him."

"So, Kain, I think we should go on a date."

"Yeah, you're right. We're helping him... and God, you like him? I'm so happy!"

"Wait, Kain... do you hear any sound?" Sera asked.

"Ah, no, dear. And wait... you actually agreed to go on a date with me?"

"Yeah. I like you."

"Well, I want to ask you something."

"Go ahead."

.....

"Guys, it's Advik. Yuvaan isn't in this van... over."

"It's Mayble. There's no file named Yuvaan... over."

"Jellyfish," Kain said. "Move, everyone."

"Okay."

Kayl was shocked. "What's wrong with you guys?"

After a while, we assembled again.

"So, Kain?" I asked.

"Yuvaan is dead. Sera told me that he had been harassed and bullied after being taken into custody. She thinks there might be more to his death..."

"What?" Everyone was confused for a second.

"Maybe whoever gives him assignments knew that he had been taken into custody... so they..." Evelyn said.

"Maybe. But he was our only last clue."

"A strange call," I said.

"I received it when I was already frustrated."

"Hello?"

"Hellooo... You are searching for me so hard that you arrived at the police station today and still got zero clues. So, I guess I can invite you myself, Advik."

"Who are you?" I asked in surprise.

Everyone started looking at me.....
