"Beca?" A half-asleep Butler greeted Beca and her team when they arrived at the Robinson Mansion for the second time that day, it was around 9 Pm already and Beca was more than embarrassed to wake the family up with her cruel knock.
After stating their business for the late night visit, the cops went inside and were greeted by the young men in their Egyptian Fabric robes and soon enough, they were greeted by Mr. Robinson too, the patriarch was on a wheelchair head in hand as he was still tearing up from earlier's news, Rufus dutifully pushing the chair inside the study room.
"We're really sorry for disturbing you and for your lost, Mr. Robinson..." Aubrey started, eyeing Mr. Arnold and the three young men who had their fist balled up.
"No need to apologize." Richard said, sitting down on one of the arm chairs with whiskey on one hand as he looked at Aubrey too," What's important is what brought you here at nine in the evening." He then said and Aubrey nodded her hand before reaching into her jacket pocket.
She extended a folded piece of paper to Richard and spoke," We have her a search warrant... We've had a suspect." Aubrey stated and all their heads perked up to look at the detectives and Beca now decided to talk, her gaze directly on Arnold as he was still not looking at any of them.
"It seems impossible, even I can't believe it at first, but we found a footage of Marceline and Arrinati at Richard's golf course, we assume that she was the last person he ever conversed with."
"Are you saying," James took the paper from Richard and glared menacingly at Beca," ... That our sister, killed our own brother?! That's rubbish!"
"James!" Rogue held his brother's arm and nodded at Beca.
"We also found out that Marceline took young Robinson with her... Luke?" The blond British nodded at Beca and took out his phone, opening the CCTV footage from Richard's golf course and resort and they saw Marceline did and was the last one to converse with Arri.
"This is impossible." One of the brother's said before James, the youngest of them, sat down and cried in his hands.
" You have my permission to search the whole house..." Arnold spoke for the first time since they arrived and he smiled," I now know why Marceline wanted young Arrinati to come with her." He smiled sadly at her and Beca's heart breaks when she saw that mournful smile of one of her father figure.
"Thank you Mr. Arnold." Chloe told him and she nodded at the others as they all scrambled out the study.
"Is her room the same room as before?" She asked and the four men there nodded, she smiled before leaving, catching up to her girlfriend and intertwining their hands together.
Getting up to the second floor, Beca led them to the west wing of the mansion and opened a giant door, where she found out that not too much changed in Marceline's room. The bed was still in the middle, posters of Amy Winehouse, Barbara Streisand, Meryl Streep and Julie Andrews still lined the wall. Her vanity table is still on the middle wall separating the doors of the bathroom and the closet. The balcony was wide open, making the wind freely ruffle the curtains of the balcony doors, and just before the balcony door is a grand piano, the first piano where she learned to play Beethoven's Fur Elise.
"Scramble around." She said and made a beeline for the closet, Chloe and Stacie coming with her as they went through the clothing racks, the jewelry drawers, the other stuff that were there, the bags, even the trash.
It's been half an hour already and still, no one found anything too suspicious before Luke called out to Beca. Walking back into the main room, Beca saw Luke holding a gift bag in front of her and she quirked a brow at him.
