"Hello ! Isabel's Speaking ." ( In a sleepy voice )

" Isabel where are you ? .we are waiting for you , today's our meeting and then we will have to go on the Crime Site again , gets ready quickly " .

( It was Luke ,. who was informing her about the meeting ..She , who was tired cause of Yesterday's incident now was sleeping and had completely forgot about the meeting )

" oh wait ..I am coming bye !! " .( hang up the call , leaves the bed and runs towards the washroom to change )

" Mum Dad Good Morning ! , Ok am going now ,today is our very important meeting and I m literally late for it ..Soo going now "

" Bel.. stop .!! " ( It was her mother , but as she was quite in hurry so doesn't listen to her and run towards her car )

 " She didn't even take a single bite since yesterday ..what should I do with her ? "

" Sofie , it's okay she can take care of herself .."

~ In the Meeting Room ~

" Sorry for getting late .." ( She was literally late for the meeting and now was embarrassed cause when she enters the room , Mr Jeosph was already showing something through the projector )

"yeah Miss Lauren , come and sit down ...Quietly

please!!

( Mr Joseph , who was their team leader but was the man with strong ambition and the person who loved punctuality ..now when Isabel enters the room he allowed her to sit but with cold expression which means it was a red card for Isabel )

" So where were we ?? ..( Continues his speech )

" Sir , where did u left ?? "... ( This answer was given by Daniel , who was their team member but was the youngest of the group , a joyfull but a genius boy ..that's the reason he was in the group or else he would have been killed by Joseph..... by giving answer like that to him... )

( Every one stays quiet for a while cause they were already aware , what will gonna happens now )

. " Dan....iel !! wanna take some fresh air outside?? "

( A strong glare that gives him goose bumps )

" No thanks sir ( Answer him with a innocent face.. ) ..we were discussing about the Cases that happened this year ..

" Bye the way Isabel , Luke told me that u found something on the Crime site yesterday !! "

" yeah I found that watch .." ( Shows watch to all the people in the room )

" Hmm.. But that watch is mine , where did you find this ?? "

" What di...did you say ? ..I think I just misheard it " .( it was actually something that surprised her ) ." But there's LS tag inside that watch and if I m not wrong then your name is Henry Joseph which means there's no LS in your name right ..."

(all the people in the meeting room were completely surprised by that situation except one person ...who was literally there for this and was enjoying all that situation )

" what are you talking about ?? ...there's no LS tag on that watch ." ( After checking the watch carefully up and down )

" what the hell ..we both checked it , on that day right Isabel ?? " ..( Luke who was now defending Isabel's statement checked the watch by himself .. )

" yeah of course !! ..give me that watch , let me show you ." ( Takes watch from his hand )

" yeah checked it , I don't have any problem with that !! " ( tie hands on the chest and was watching her attentively )

" Luke he's right , it means he .....( Stops for a while ..it means that person fooled her ..why didn't I checked that watch when he throws it to me , why did I trust a stranger , AMAZING Isabel amazing....now she was regretting over her foolishness... and leaves the meeting room angrily and Luke started following her )

" Luke just leave me alone for a while please , or else my mind will explode "

( Freed her hand from his grip )

" ok but please calm down , if you want can I drop you ? "

" No !!! ( How to tell him that , that person ....)

( Luke enters the meeting room )

" She is gone , I m sorry Henry ..you can continue on ...( Luke was friend with Henry so now was talking to him informally )

" may I know what's happening ?? .Why she was saying all these things ??

( Now there was completely silence in the room every one was curious to know about the watch's story except for one person , who was actually there today for all this drama )

" Actually yesterday when you guys were already gone from the Crime site , we both were still there when Isabel Found that watch but trust me at that time there was a name tag on that watch but ....wait she lost that watch and when again go to the Crime site I think in that period of time the watch was changed by some one else.."

" So it's mean some one was already there before you guys to look for the watch but when Isabel lost it again he gets a chance to change it with this watch , but fascinating thing is that why changed this watch with mine ??? "

" it's mean , it is some one That we already know ?? "

( It was Jessi who was now looking at everyone ..with a suspiciously... ... )

" it must be you then ... Jessi !! ( A straight up arrow was thrown by Daniel that literally burns Jessi from inside )

" What did you say ??. Neil you wanna die right ( showing her sharp nails to him )

" EVERYBODY STOP !! Get out , all of you right now ...( with a straight and cold expression Henry orders every one to go out of the room )

" Ok we are going ..no need to be so rude !!

( The room gets empty , when every one gets out of the room one by one ..but the person who was there today for the drama was completely satisfied but when going out touch the watch once again and pass a smile )

" who it can be ?? ...I think I know !! " 

( sit on the chair and stares at the watch )
