Chapter 06 – midnight rendezvous
Yzak couldn't sleep. There was something nagging him at the back of his head. He climbed out of bed and walked over to the window. Looking out towards the beach, he saw a figure walking along the shore. Grabbing a torch light from his bag, he made his way quietly down the steps and out onto the beach.
"Alyssa?"
"Yzak?"
"Don't need to shine the light in my face."
"Sorry."
"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
"I couldn't' get to sleep."
"Worried about Nicol?"
"You could say that. I just want him back. You know? I promised my mum I would take care of him, and look what's happened."
"Don't worry. It isn't your fault anyway."
"Why are you here?"
"I couldn't sleep either, and spied you combing the beach, so I thought I'd join you."
"Thanks."
They walked along the stretch of beach slowly, their torchlights passing over every rock, tree and grain of sand. Not willing to leave any stone unturned, they went back to the attic and looked for more clues there.
Finally after hours of searching, they found something.
There under the mess of toilet paper, were more pieces of paper, 15 pieces in total. On 9 of them were names of the rooms in Cluedo and on 6 were the weapons that could be used in Cluedo.
Alyssa picked each piece up examining each one in the light. Nothing. There were still no clues as to where the rope might be.
The two of them lay exhausted on the attic floor.
Yzak could feel the weight of his eyelids. They seemed so heavy; from the half open blinds on the attic window he could see the first few rays of the morning sun peeping in. and there in the corner lay a snake?
"There it is!" Yzak suddenly shouted, standing up and running to a corner of the attic.
He came back with a triumphant smile on his face. In his hands was a length of cord.
"Of all places…" Alyssa let the sentence trail.
"It was right under our noses."
"Indeed. And none of you were observant enough to see it. Pitiful souls. However, a promise is a promise. You will have your brother back soon." The voice boomed.
"Thank goodness." Alyssa said, before collapsing into a deep sleep on the floor.
Yzak smiled thinking to himself what an interesting girl Alyssa was.
Note: I've never made a romance blossom so fast, and its kind of fun to watch. I wonder what other sparks will fly in the subsequent chapters. Oh well, I really should start making serious plans about their future. Who should be taken next? And how should they be murdered? How to make the cases more interesting? Hm…. all suggestions and reviews are more than welcome. Thank you, to all you wonderful people who have been making this a joy to write!
