THE MYSTERY OF THE MYSTERIOUS CASTLE#Wattys2017

CHAPTER SEVEN

A woman stepped in as Tina opened uo the door. Tina asked her what help did she need.
She said she wanted to meet Bloom.

Bloom overheard their talk from the next room and went there keeping her phone aside.
The lady was tall. She had a bit dark complexion. Her hair was blond black and straight, and her build up also reminded her of the lady she had seen on the telephone photage.

"Who is Bloom," the lady asked distracting Bloom's thoughts.

Tina replied that her name was Bloom as she had already got instructions to do so from Bloom if in case any situation like that arrived.

"Hello mam," the lady said, "I heard about you solving the cases."

Bloom was a bit shocked to hear that but she tried her best to not let it come on her face in front of the lady. It had been just few hours before the printed papers were distributed and the lady was there in her house without even knowing the address or any other information.

"Yes I do." Tina replied as Bloom directed her to say so.

Her mother was hesitating as she was not used to such things. It was actually the first time someone had entered in like that in search of Bloom.
The lady noticed her hesitation. Bloom knew that her cover would be surely blown up soon.

"See I need your help." the lady said.

Bloom directed her mother to ask but she was not able to.

"What help do you need," Bloom asked finding no other way...

The lady looked at her with wide eyes.

"Don't worry. My mom is just not too open up while it come's to one to one conversation...You can carry on to speak. She have already started to note it down," Bloom replied for which Tina nodded.

"You know that the New York police are of no use. They never are able to solve any problems..."

"That's not exactly true." Tina interupted.

"Whatever it is I just can't trust them..."

"So what help do you need." Tina asked.

"Actually I am a housemaid. I take care of two girls. Her parents are in China now for some business work. Before leaving them the girl's father gave her one daughter a necklace containing blood stone jewel. Yesterday a robbery took place in the house and the necklace is lost."

"What else have gone along with it?" Bloom asked.

The lady was silent for more then the time required to think about the things.

"What happened?" Bloom asked.

"Nothing just I was thinking what all were lost."

"So" Bloom asked constantly observing the lady.

It seemed that she was just about to lie.

"Some money and the necklace was stolen and nothing else."

"That means it was a simple robbery..." Bloom thought..."But a normal robber won't find out that the stone on the necklace was precious," Bloom said to herself, "But there are chances that he may find it attractive and have picked it up,"

"Did you say anything?" the lady asked.

Bloom came out of her thoughts and asked, "What are the names of the children?"

"Their names... yes, Linnet and Liana."

"Will you please give me the address where you are working?"
