I am sick of that stalker and was hell baffled. So, I decided to sneak in uncle Marsh's room to find something useful that can help me to figure out what is going on in my world.

Uncle Marsh is in the garden, watering the plants and aunt Lily is in the supermarket for shopping. It is a perfect time to sneak in to uncle's room.

Krystin had kept her shoes aside, not taking any chance to get caught. Krystin tiptoed into uncle's room. She was giving a glance at every object in the room to find something that can help her but nothing was there except the ordinary human stuff.

Krystin began to search the table drawers but nothing was there too. She was searching in the closet when she caught a sight of a small wooden box behind the clothes. It wasn't locked which made her task easy. She opened it and there was a piece of paper inside it, a really very old one. Her eyes were on stalks as she gaze at the paper.

Krystin folded the paper right away and kept it in her Jean's back pocket. She Closed the closet after she had shut the box close and placed it behind the clothes. She whipped around and just had taken a few steps to move out of his room. But she was halted by the figure standing in front of her.

"What are you doing here? Dear" uncle raised his brows.

"M-I-I was just ..." looking down at the floor "..I was looking for my shoes uncle" with a dramatic smile.

"And what made you think that you will find it here, in my room?" uncle asked.

"I thought aunt Lily must have kept somewhere. So, I came here to check , but it's not here too".
Uncle gave me a confused look and before he can ask another question I asked one.
"uncle, why are you having a wet shirt on by the way ?"
