Chapter 7:
The two men who had attacked Emmy and company were soon sent to the hospital with mild concussions.
"Well, if we could have gotten information out of them, we can't now." Luke sighed.
"I didn't mean to hurt that poor man. But...but...I couldn't just sit and watch as they tried to hurt you." Flora was almost in tears.
Emmy walked up to her and placed a comforting arm around her. "First off, he was not a 'poor man'. And it's fine. What you did was very valiant. You saved me from them."
Flora smiled, "Really?"
Emmy gave her a little squeeze and the two moved towards the professor and Luke, who were currently pondering the recent events.
"I wonder why they are after Emmy." Luke had a puzzled expression mirroring his successor.
"They didn't seem to give us much of a hint. Whoever they are, they don't want us to know their full plans." Layton continued to deduce possible reasons.
Luke smiled a bit, "At least they didn't get Emmy. I still wish we knew what they want with you." He looked at Emmy with sad eyes.
Emmy crossed her arms. "Hey, they didn't catch me, so no sad looks. I'm sure we can find the answers we need soon enough."
"Well then, we might as well return to my office and see what we can find." Layton decided.
Emmy, Luke, and Flora nodded in agreement. The four left to returned to the office, in search of anything that may reveal the mysterious men.
"What a mess!" Flora exclaimed. "How will we find anything in here?"
"It's not too horrible. It may be an hour or two of cleaning." Emmy said. "There was more glass in the hotel in Mistallery than in here."
Luke looked up and smiled at the comment, remembering the first mystery, the mystery where the professor, Emmy, and Luke had first met.
"What's this?" Luke bent down and picked up the curious item. It was a small envelope.
"What's in it?" Emmy asked.
Luke slowly opened it, guessing what may be in it.
What's in the envelope? A threat? Poison? Candy? (Ignore the last one, I'm hungry.) Chapter 8 coming soon!
