"Yup. I will be there in 10 minutes. Bye," I said as I put down the reciever of the telephone.

I quickly combed my hair and made a pony-tail. I was wearing blue denim shorts and a GAP tee.

"Mom, I am going to Finnick's place,"  I shouted as I went out from the door. 

Finnick had called me to his house so that we can find out the clues in the notes. I agreed, so here am I going to his house.

I soon found myself in front of a red villa with glass windows. There were roses and petunias growing in the garden. It was a stylish home.

I rang the bell and Finnick opened the door. "Hey, you look good," he said while hugging me.

He was wearing Levis jeans and a blue Reebok t-shirt. He smelled of roses.

"Checking me out, eh?" he said with a grin.

I blushed.

Nobody at home?" I inquired.

He shaked his head and told me that he was alone at home most of the time. His mom and dad were both busy with their work and came late at night. I feel lucky in this matter because my mom and dad give me enough time. They come home early in the evening and our 'family time' starts.They don't do any work or take calls in that period. Also, my mom goes to work only three days a week.

"Let's go to your room," I asked and told him at the same time.

He looked uncomfortable at this proposal.

"Uh..Lets stay here only..I uh..I don't allow anyone in my room,"he replied shyly while not making any eye contact with me.

I was hurt hearing this. Why was I hurt I don't know. I just feel now that we both like each other, we could share anything with each other. But he was not even allowing me in his room.

"Umm..no problem," I said lying.

"So here are the notes," he said while laying the notes on the table.

We read the notes again and again but still couldn't come up on something.

"What clue can be there in these notes? It just says the amount and place!" I said keeping the note on the table again.

Finnick suggested,"Have you seen in detective shows..clues are witten with invisible ink and-"

"Yeah. And you have to keep the paper above candle," I continued saying.

"What say?" he asked me expectantly.

"I say let's try," I said eagerly.

Finnick quickly brought a candle and we hovered the notes above it one by one but to no avail.

"Holy crap! This is such a shit," I muttered as we failed.

I caught Finnick staring at me.

"What?" I asked him lazily.

What did I just do that he was looking at me like this?"

You curse?" he blurted in disbelief.

"Sorry. What?" I asked him.

What is such big deal in it if I curse? Everyone does that. He really got me baffled by that.

"I didn't know that you curse also," he said with the look still not gone from his face.

"'Course I do. What do you think of me?" I replied casually, raising my hands in the air.

"I just thought you were very innocent to do that," he said as a matter-of-factedly.

I rolled my eyes and a question arose in my mind. "Why do we need to find clues? Your friend Harris will be safe as we have deposited the ransom. Those men need to find the clues to win, not us!".

He did not expect this question and he stammered a lot. "No..uh. Harris might be unsafe. They might be torturing him, you know. And we cant let these kidnappers slip by..uh..we need to catch them and get them punished, right?"

His reason seemed correct enough.

"Right," I said.

An idea came in my mind. I looked at Finnick and said, "Let's involve Anne and Tessy also in this .We can work upon this together."

He immediately said, "No Andrea, nobody else needs to be told about this."

I cried out, "Why? If we need to catch those kidnappers, we need to be more in number. How can just two of us do everything?"

"They can't be a part of this because..because..okay. You can tell them."

"They can give us ideas on how to find the clue. It would be much easier, isn't it? I asked him excitedly.

He nodded and kept his palm on his forehead. He seemed tense. "Andrea, I have a work to do. Could we just meet tomorrow?" he asked me.

I was surprised really at this request.

I said,"Sure" and got up to leave. Surprisingly, he did not even say bye when I said goodbye to him; otherwise he used to be the first one to say bye. This time he just smiled.

He has got me really baffled now. Why did he looked so tensed?

Why? Why? Why?

Unknown's POV

I didn't see this coming.

I didn't expect Andrea to involve Anne and Tessy in this.

This is all going wrong. It had to be just Andrea and me. But I cannot tell her also that why they can't be in this. This thing is eating my head right now.

I quickly call and tell Love about this latest development. I am surely going to get some yelling from her. She is going to scream at me why I allowed Andrea to tell them about this.

Oh God! Tell me what to do!

Everything is spoiled now.
