Katrielle and Matthew got back to the Agency to see Ersest sitting on the sofa twiddling his thumbs.
"Are you going to give us the final clue or do we have to find it?" She said rather excitedly, she was completely absorbed in the mystery.
"It's on your desk along with your present." He smiled, he looked rather worried though.
Kat raced over to the small present, covered with a sealed envelope. She opened it as Matt took of his coat and sat down, pouring himself a coffee. She began to read the letter out loud
"I hope you've enjoyed the present so far. I quite enjoyed making it. Your actual present is a coupon for the bakery so you can actually buy as many treats as you want… well maybe not that many…" They all laughed at Ernest's Humor. "But I know you're here for the puzzle, and here is is."
'There once was a boy in blue, when faced with grief he lost what to do. The Girl in red, got rid of his dread, and helped him through his blues. He began to feel for this girl in red, but when faced with choice he stared to dread. Should he tell her, Maybe she knows. Even if, would it bring more woes. But he swallowed his courage and stepped to the plate, and asked the girl on a date. Dinner at 7, was a place in heaven, but what did the girl say?'
Katrielle was confused. She looked over at mat to see him grinning ear to ear. "Have you already figured it out?"
"I can't answer this one." he said simply.
She again was stumped. "Oh come on, Even I have it figured out." Sherl barked. She then looked over at Ernest, He was looking down at his shoes, but then she noticed it. Blue. He was wearing blue head to toe. Then It all clicked into place.
"Are you asking me to dinner Ernest?" She said.
"Uh… Yes I am." He said, Eyes not wavering of his shoes. She got up, walked over to him and put a hand on his cheek. She looked him right in the eye.
"That sounds great." She said.
Ernest's Face lit up like christmas. His heart went from in his stomach to his throat.
"Really?!" He said pinching himself.
"Of Course," She Giggled. "You're the best present a detective could ask for." She pinched his ear before walking to the door. "I'll be at your apartment at Seven then."
"…Okay… Where are you going?" Ernest asked struggling to get is words out.
"To the Bakery, to get my sweets." She said before leaving.
Ernest felt like he was on a cloud of air. He walked over to the couch and laid down, and began to giggle uncontrollably.
"Good Job buddy." Matt said, grabbing more case files to complete.
"Look at him, Completely head over wheels." Sherl said.
"You should go home and clean up. Not to mention cook food." Matt said smiling. "I'll lock up, you have tonight to worry about."
"Golly," he said trying to calm himself. "Thank you Matt."
Ernest left in his stride, he one lovely layton to look after.
