Day 4, Morning The early part of the day was having a gloomy and cold morning . Which gave me some more time to sleep .But just after  several minutes past by , Sandler was up and barking  and that was annoying. I wish I could enjoy my bedtime for a little longer.

But Sadly this creature also needed some attention if  I ignored  him it can lead to devastating events in your living room. Sandler can get angry sometimes but otherwise he's a great dog. Hmm Anyhow I woke up the same time as usual because of his loving nature. I took a good meal for breakfast to recharge my brain and went on with a fresh start.

The investigation the previous day gave me no positive results but sometimes you need to be at the core for identifying the problem. It was 2:00 clock in the afternoon , I was going through the Reading material like pamphlets and Journals .But while going through a series of pamphlets , I got a very Interesting information with the next one that I was going to analyze.

The pamphlet had a pale Violet colour and  mentioned about the Positive effects of microorganisims this piece of information was completely unrelated with the work with which I was  trying to unfold  the mystery. But just on the back of the pamphlet was another irregular script that had Roman numerals and some wierd dots and dashes. I was familiar with the Roman numerals . But the strange dots and dashes were out of my imagination. Roman numerals mentioned like I-II, II-III ,III-IV.
All that could be a hint for those strange warnings. Now I was struck between a dilemma whether to go with the normal investigation or to go with this piece of information on the pamphlet that might be written by someone more brighter than me  like  a scientist .

But diverting my Attention towards an unknown pice of information could result in loss of time and will eventually turn all my Hardwork into a  waste . My mind and heart both going in the favor of the pamphlet so I decided to decode the information  for that I needed some help . Aunt Mary was a retired professor she might be knowing about how to decode the text . But worried about the previous incident I was taken aback as she could cause a lot of trouble .

Somehow when there was no other path available ,I decided to take help from Lizzy my colleague and a very bright girl in my high school . But since the communication was down .I had to go and personally meet her . I had to drive half a mile south to meet her , not very far from my house . Lizzy's family were Strict Catholics and didn't wanted any stranger like me to interfere with their practice . So meeting her and explainning her the whole situation was quite difficult. In order to talk to her an elder of the house must be present and it should be broad daylight, we were not suppose to meet in the evenings. We must respect each other and all the talking should be done with proper distance at all  time .With all these barriers I couldn't express myself properly . So Lizzy's help was not of much convenience.

The last choice was my neighbour again Aunt Mary, without thinking much I went and asked her my query about the Mysterious dots and dashes on the back of pamphlet . She replied in a very beautiful way - ' Mike this is Morse code also known as the binary code used in First generation computers. It is used to covey information in a simple way  . It's like a transcript , Which needs to be decoded in order to know the content of it ' . I was astonished and started wondering if she could assist me in the case . I then confronted her honestly  about my work that I was doing from the past 3 says . She then promised to assist me in hard times . I asked her for one more favor -' Could you please translate this code for me'.
She replied -'Yes, but translating would require  some time . So I asked her to finish it by today ,   I would pay a visit tomorrow and See what does this piece have .
I was being very optimistic about the pamphlet but the other part of my mind was afraid too .
Let's see what happens tomorrow . With these last words in my thought the day ended with lots of curiosity .
