Chapter 13

The next Friday, Bob reaches the mansion as per his superior's instructions. He climbs the walls and walks stealthily into the compound, hiding behind a bush. He dialled Steve and after some time, the latter came to him.

"Sir, Detective called me today and asked I was to do something important."

"Yes, you are. Has Madam Sara given you the package?"

"Yes sir. Today morning before she headed to the church."

"Good. Now listen, replace those currencies with this." Bob hands him a bundle of fresh notes stacked together. Steve takes them." Remember, I will be watching you." With that Steve leaves. After climbing the wall again, Bob returns to his police car parked next to a tree.

Half an hour later, a taxi pulls over in front of the mansion. As usual it horns twice and Steve comes out and hands her the package. The car drove away and Steve glances at Bob who starts his vehicle and follows the lady.

Bob reaches in St.Peters Street, in front of House number 45. Detective James was waiting for him with some other officers. The officers rung the door bell and a lady in her early twenties opened the door. As expected she was fair and pretty.

"Miss Betcy Pots?"

"Yes. Who are you all?" She asked.

"We are from the police. We have got an information that you store uncredited money in your home."

"What you mean? Its a faux news."

"We shall decide it later. Now put your hand in this solution." One of the men brings a container which has a colorless solution in it. The moment she immersed her hands, it changed pink.

"Search her house." The officers went inside, followed by Detective James and Bob.

"Hey! Wait."

"Sorry miss. You cannot go inside." One of the officer blocked her from getting inside. Others went on with the searching and recovered a package from the cupboard. They found a bundle of currency and one of them started checking the notes.

Meanwhile, Detective James and Bob were searching her bedroom. During their search, Bob peeps inside the dustbin and he takes out all the trash inside it. Suddenly something caught his curiosity.

"Sir, look at this." Bob hands over a piece of paper to his superior who smiles at the new piece of evidence he procured. After their search was over, Detective James comes to the front door.

"Sir, all the serial numbers of the notes are exactly the same."

"I see."

"What the hell does this mean officer? " Betcy who was getting tensed, shouts at them.

"Simple, you are under arrest Miss Betcy Pots." Detective James said.
