I took a boat that leads straight to Istanbul. I went to the port and realized I was too early, so I sat on the bench beside a lady. She then turned to me and asked, “Are going to Istanbul alone dear?” I said with a smile “Yes” She then asked, “What is your name?” I said, “It’s Zara Grindlewald” as soon she heard my name she mesmerized, she said “Are you that Zara?” I nodded, she asked “What’s your age?” I said, “Its 16”, she continued “You are so young for being a detec-……...” I stopped her in the way, and then said, “Can I get your name before continuing?” she nodded and then said, “I’m sorry I forgot my manners, its Milan Ivy.” I asked, “You are a governess, right?” she said “Yes, how did you know?” I said, “It’s written on your ticket.” She hid her ticket. Then the boat arrived and there was a man on it covered in coal, me and Mrs. Milan couldn’t help but laugh. He then saw me and asked, “What’s your name, miss?” I replied “Zara, Zara Grindlewald.” He was shocked and then said, “It’s a pleasure to meet such a famous person here on this boat.” I asked his name, he then said it was Mr. Walter Skeers, a well-known family of doctors. He then saw Mrs. Milan and started to talk with her, I then left them alone and stared at the ocean. I can’t wait to get to Istanbul. We reached to the port and we all three got down of the boat and we departed our ways. I was walking through the streets and everybody saw me started to say me hello, how are you doing and all that. You ask why? Because almost everyone here knows me. As I was walking down the streets I bumped into someone I said “I so sorry! I wasn’t look-…….” I was shocked the man then said, “I’m also very sorry mis-…...” I also was shocked, but then asked, “Are you Zara?” I said “Yes!” And then I jumped into his arms and said, “It’s really you Kurusu!” He then said “Oh I so happy to see you here Zara! HaHaHa!” You’re asking who he is? He’s my childhood friend, Oda Kurusu. I knew him since childhood. Well he’s parents also died, but his uncle took him in and raised as his own child. He will be the successor of his uncle’s company. Well! Anyways back to the story, I and he were shocked but then he broke the silence between us and said “It’s you Zara! Oh, I am so happy to see you! Oh, my you’ve become such a fine woman! Ahaha!” I said, “I’m really happy to see you!” We then started to talk about lots of things. Then we reached the bakery I love the most!
I said, “The best sweets, cakes, tartes, pies, everything is found here!” Then an old man came and said “Hello Zara! Long time no time!” he said. I replied, “Really it’s been a long time Mr. Leif!” He was an old friend to my parents. He has his own bakery you see! Then he was asking that I need cakes or tartes? I said that I wanted to eat tartes. He then said all his coworkers to prepare tartes. I then noticed that Kurusu had disappeared, and I was thinking where he went off. He then bought a lady and I realized that it was Mrs. Milan who I had met. I said to Kurusu “I know her you know, Kurusu”. He was shocked he then asked a lot of questions about how I met her. I was happy about it that I get to meet the people I am friends with and then Kurusu asked me a question about a train and invited me there to take a break from the cases and murders I have been solving. So, I agreed and then I went to the station and went on it, the Underwood Express.
