THE MYSTERY OF THE MISSING PEARL

CHAPTER SEVEN-Jennifer kinapped

There was a tensed situation near the tent side. Each of them was searching for the pearl but to no avail. Jennifer was blamed for being so careless to lose the pearl.

"I think that the pearl is robbed," Susan said coming at the place with Kane where others were searching.

"What do you mean by robbed," Nate asked.

"It's of no use to search here and there. If it's just lost then we would have found it yet but it's not lost," Susan said.

"I agree with her," Tyson said.

And so were Jayson and his team and Tyson's friends.

"How can the pearl get robbed? You mean to say that someone came and robbed the pearl right under our nose,"

Nate asked.

"It can be guessed liked that but more suitable is that someone among us have robbed it," Susan said.

"It's Jennifer. She only had a chance of robbing the pearl," Jane said.

"What are you saying? If I would have to rob the pearl then why would I do at the time when I was guarding it," Jennifer said.

"You may have planted a trap for me but Kane and Susan arrived earlier and so you were caught," Jane said.

"You don't have the proof. You just can't blame me like that," Jennifer said.

"I don't believe that you could do such a thing," Janet said.

"Janet you too, you are my best friend and you also don't believe me," Jennifer was shocked by janets comment.

Kane made Susan noticed that Nate wasn't present there. They decided to go in search of her and left the group. Tyson asked them were they were going when Susan replied that she had no interest to watch them blaming anyone without any proof.

They went in Nate's tent and found her there. She was busy attending a call but disconnected it as soon as the two arrived there.

"What are you going to do about this pearl," Kane asked.

"I'm thinking about it," Nate replied.

"We should call the police," Susan suggested.

"No," she said in an instant.

"Why not," Kane asked.

"They would just mess up the things. Let's try to find out on our own first," Nate said.

"I wish that you don't think the pearl which Susan found belonged to your group," Kane said.

"Of course I do," she replied.

"What do you mean," he asked.

"I meant to say that it was found in our place..."

"This place isn't named as yours," Kane corrected.

"I meant that you had gone for diving from our group so..."

"That doesn't mean that what we found belong to your group either," Kane said.

Nate was quiet. She had an angry face now which she was trying to hide out but wasn't able to.

'If we find out where the pearl is we will hand it over," Nate replied in a dull voice...

"And can you give us the assurance that you may find it without the police help," Kane said.

"Why should I give you the assurance? You are speaking as if I have taken it," Nate said shouting.
