Author's POV

Mikhail stood in front of the hotel which was deserted. He somewhere had a feeling that this place has connection with all the mysteries. The creepiness of the place was always suspicious.

"Hotel Hywala!"
Jeh read the name sign which was falling off.
"This looks like a haunted house. Where is everyone? Why is this hotel in such a bad condition? It's a beautiful place, why is the owner wasting this property?"
He looked at the beautiful greenery around.

"Because I have killed the owner!"
Mikhail declared while stepping forward. First time in his life he regretting killing someone, they would have given answers to some of his questions. It was so interesting to hear that all the links of this mystery are either missing or dead. It felt like someone perfectly planned to erase Jacaranda's murder.

Jeh looked at him amused.
"You killed the owner, why?"

"Marona was hiding here when she tried to escape for the first time... They misbehaved with her and I was in rage so I killed them..."
He walked inside while breaking spider webs.

"I don't think we are going to find anything in this abandoned place... It's been years since Issac went missing from here."
Jeh suggested.
"Where are you going?"
He asked when Mikhail headed toward the room.

"I might know where we can find hints."
He kicked open the door of the room and entered inside.

Jeh was following him.
"Fuck!"
He coughed and sneezed due to dust. 

Mikhail checked everything. Tabbed on the walls and removed paintings to find something. He doesn't know what exactly he was looking for but he had an instinct that he would find something. Maybe something which will help him to show the way towards Miguel.

He checked everything but found nothing. But then he noticed the bed. Something was weird about it. It had an unnecessarily huge gap under it. 
He lifted up the bed and checked the floor beneath. His foot stopped on the spot where he felt the dip. He tapped his foot to make sure that his assumptions are right.

"Mikhail, what are you doing?"
Jeh asked while coming back from the balcony.

"There is a hidden place on the floor."
He grabbed his knife and plucked open the wooden floor tile.

"Ohh!"
Jeh's eyes widened when he saw stacks of letters wrapped in a plastic bag.
"Looks like we just found a treasure... Tell me it's a treasure map."

Mikhail gave him a warning look before opening the bag and checking letters.
"Ahhaa, it's bigger than treasure... The reason for Jacaranda's death"
He handed the letters to Jeh.

"Fuck, this woman. Seriously?"
Jeh gasped dramatically.

"Now we have to find her grave... Maybe she is buried here somewhere because her grave can't just disappear."
Mikhail took back the letters from him.

"Ohh, I almost forgot.. I can see the graveyard from the balcony."
Jeh grinned.

"What? I didn't see anything like that when I was here last time."
Mikhail went to the balcony and realized that few trees are cut down because of which the graveyard is little visible.
"Let's go!"

They both drove to the graveyard and started looking for the grave. Mikhail looked around and saw few people visiting their loved ones grave.
They slowly left and Mikhail started looking for the grave.

"There is no grave of Jacaranda."
Jeh groaned frustrated.

"Did you get the details of Rotero's sister?"
Mikhail questioned, he was sure that Jacaranda is not her real name because it's not recorded anywhere.
