Maya was staring at the cathedral, "Do we have to go?" Maya and Ari were standing in front of the cathedral, it was Ari's idea to go there and gather some clues and info. "Yes! We have to Agent M." "Stop calling me that" Maya face-palmed herself and they entered the cathedral.
The cathedral was huge from inside and empty. The sisters entered and saw a man reading a book (probably bible), they guessed that he must be the bishop, "hello father" the man turned towards them and smiled, "Hello girls, are you new here? It's the first time I'm seeing you here."
The sisters looked at each other and replied, "Yes father, we moved here weeks ago."
"I see. I'm father Carnell. If you have any questions you may approach me." He then left like that.
"Maya he is father Carnell. The one in the diary, we need to start looking before noon. Let's part ways, this way we can find things fast." Maya nodded in agreement and they parted ways.
"There should be something here." Ari entered the library which probably contained the records related to the cathedral. She started going through the books and manuscripts, "Carnell Lockhart".
Maya was going through the halls where they hung the pictures of people and events of the cathedral, "The member's frame should be here too. Oh! Got it!" she found a frame which included the dean, chancellor, precentor, and clergy as well as the bishop. "What have you all done to the poor soul of Mr. Harry?"
"He has no origin or families. Carnell Lockhart, I'll find everything about you, just wait." Just then Ari's eyes went on a cupboard with a glass door but it was locked. "This is it. But I need the key." Suddenly she remembered, "Oh crap! The father has it."
Maya was walking when she felt an odd feeling, there was a gap between the frames which unexpectedly was more compared to others and when looked closely the paint felt a bit fainter, she tapped on it and it felt hollow from the inside, "There is something here." She suddenly receives a call, "Hello Agent M we have a task in hand and your help is needed ASAP, you have to secure keys from father Carnell and bring them over to me. Do you copy?"
"You should stop watching those detective movies now."
"DO.YOU.COPY?"
"Yes, I copy. By the way--"
Ari hung up before she could complete, "This girl..."
"Looks like you are lost, my child." She turned around to the sound and found the owner to be father Carnell, "Ah...kind of yeah" Maya laughed nervously, "Where's your other partner?"
uh oh...Maya scratched her neck while looking around, "Well actually....I lost her. You see she is very notorious and doesn't stay at a place for long so..."
"Hehe I understand how young children can be, it's very difficult to hold on to them."
Maya chuckled nervously and soon her eyes landed on the pocket of the father, 'I have to get the keys and find Ari' the keys were noticeable as the bunch had an attractive key ring, "father would answer my one question?"
