It was some messi. I think Aaron is hiding a lot of things from us." George said.

"Messi? Is it Lionel Messi?" Bess asked making a funny face.

"It might be a fake name. I mean it's not compulsory to keep the exact or correct name of the person. He might have given a code name or a nick name so that no one can understand it." I said suspecting Aaron.

"And who is 'them' ? Is it referring to us?" I asked.

"May be." Bess replied while keeping a pen near her mouth and thinking.

"But we are not sure if Aaron is cheating us?" George said.

"Yeah, but the message came in his phone. And we can't ignore it." Bess replied.

"Bess is right. But George you are also right. How can we know if Aaron is against us or with us?"

We were so busy thinking about Aaron that we didn't hear Ned entering our room.

"Am I invisible or are you guys ignoring me?" Ned asked breaking the silence.

"Ignoring you." Bess replied by keeping her tongue out and teasing him.

"Of course not. We are just busy. This case is getting complicated day by day." I replied while tucking my hair behind my ears.

"What happened now?" Ned asked frustrated.

We told him everything about the message and messi and all the things.

"Oh. So.. now what? Have you figured out something yet?" He asked.

"Nope."

"Hmm... What can we do to know if Aaron is cheating us?" He asked while thinking.

"Actually you gave us the answer Ned." I said while smiling and looking at Bess and George and they had understood what I meant.

"No.. no.. please no.. are you kidding? I will not do anything." He said while sitting on the chair and closing his eyes and keeping his head on the table.

"Please Ned. We need your help and you can't say No." George said.

"No no no." He shouted.

And then something clicked into my head and a smile was on my face.

"Umm.. Ned! Do you remember about our bet? The bet that we did when we were confirming that the stone was real or fake ( chapter 8 )." I reminded him about our bet. ( If you don't remember about the bet, please see chapter 8 ).

He immediately raised his head and gave a 'not again' look to me.

"Are you blackmailing me now? Seriously? This is the worst day of my life" He asked surprised and shocked at first and then frustrated.

"May be. But actually I'm reminding you about our bet." I said and folded my hands on my chest.

"Uhhh! Nancy! Fine. I will do it." He said and signed in frustration.

"That's better." I said and gave a hi-five to Bess and George.
