Romancing An Era

Part 9

" oh my god! Looks like they are coming this way " as soon I was about to find a way to run that old man held my hands tightly and gave me a weird looking box .

I did not even bother to ask and I quickly ran away and got out of that secret basement .
" Huff! Good I found a back door otherwise I would might been in a big trouble, I think I should go to my room quickly otherwise anyone can see me here.

I ran hurriedly and opened the door finding Alonzo walking around as soon as he sees me he came rushing and looked up and down at me especially at the map that I was holding .

" Lisa ! Where the hell were you with that map! I was fucking worried about you !". He shouted at me.

I sighed and dropped the map at the nearby table " so what was I supposed to do , you were so busy with miss queen so I have to find the way out " I replied .
He gripped my shoulders and forced me to turn to look at him " I was not with the queen I was looking for clues and also do you even know how dangerous it is to go there alone" I jerked away glaring at him

" Oh come on I am not fucking baby! " I took out the box that old man gave me.

" When I got in that secret basement  there was an old man in prison"

" What? Old man there?? It's weird" he asked confused.

" Like you said previously it is not that easy "
He sighed in frustration  and then turned to look at me and said in calm and serious time " did that old man said anything to you"

" No but he gave me this box" he took the box and looked at it strangely.

" This seems like a puzzle box "

" Means we have to solve it?"

He nodded and tried to pull away the pieces together.  Took out one block after other it seems tougher than Rubik's cube .

After 30 minutes of trying together it finally opened .

" Woah ! It opened " I squealed in happines while clapping .

He open the box completely and we found a car battery?!.

" Wtf? That old guys gave us this absurd thing"

I looked frustrated at him while he Intenly looked at that car battery. " Now are you just gonna stare at this shit or what?  This is completely useless. I had high expectations for it but...." I sat on the bed tired. It was a really rough day especially if a person like Alonzo is with you .

" Lisa! I know what to do with this " I looked at him with no expression.

" Your car battery has gone?" I nonchalantly replied.

" Lisa I am serious. I know where it is in use , come with me " he gripped my hand and we somehow escaped from the window .

Skip time

I am trying to clear the path by torch it's really dark here I don't know what we will find in this front old house.
I am sure it must had looked fantastic in old times when it was not an junction like now. it has a impressive doorway.

We ran towards the car?. The car is parked in the front yard , there's no wheel in it though so no use of the batteries too. " Wait ! There is the car "

" Yes! Now you know what to do "

He opened the front part and inserted the car battery, he rushed towards the house " hey! Wait for me too"

I shouted at him from behind . I saw a drawer opening as soon as the car started .

There's a key inside it
Key - another clue

" A key ?" I asked to myself.

" Do you think it might be related to book!" Alonzo asked.

" Must be "
