Chapter 8: The Mystery

"How could she not see him" I thought to myself, then a familiar face entered the house in a rush.

"Uncle mark" I said greeting him. "How you doing, please where is my brother I have to see him it urgent" uncle mark said in a hurry.

"he should be upstairs, let me go call him" my mom said and rushed upstairs. "Uncle mark am not doing to well" I said picking up mom was phone. "Why not, is Kyle picking on you? " he asked, he always asks me anytime I answer him that way.

"No, not that, tell me uncle mark can you see anyone in this video" I asked hoping he saw the person.

"Yeah the one with the black hat" uncle mark said. "That was what I also saw but mom couldn't see the person" I told him.

"ohhhh wait let me put on my glasses" he said and put it on his glasses.

"Nope there is no one there" uncle mark said looking at it again. What was he talking about he saw the person at first but now could not see him anymore. "Does that means that I need glasses" I asked him.

He just laughed as my mom came in with a hurry. "He is not there" mom said eager to get a response from uncle mark. "Some one left this note about your father" uncle mark said showing us the note.

"perhaps I should read it, IF YOU WANT TO SEE YOUR FATHER AGAIN YOU WILL HAVE TO BRING AN AMOUNT OF $10,000,000 WITHIN TWO DAYS". uncle mark couldn't stop looking at it over and over again.

"Nonsense it was your father who said that I shouldn't go check the room if there were thieves" mom said, she didn't like the news. "That the person who wrote this note also stole my project" I said.

"How could you tell?" uncle mark asked. "That logo is the same with the letter I found and with the car and the same logo I found in the basement" I said everything as they kept entering my mind.

"Where are your brothers? " mom asked noticing their not here. "There still in their room, should I go call them so that we can solve this Mystery together?" I asked.

"We? Am calling the cops" mom said reaching out to her phone. "No you can't" I said immediately. "Why not?" my mom asked, she as already dialed the number.

"Because the person didn't mention the police into this meaning he wants us to call the police" I said making a point. "Erin is right" uncle mark said. But it was too late mom was already talking to them on the phone.

"Thanks for understanding uncle mark it simple reverse psychology, which also means the person is bigger than the cops.

I said. "The cops are on their way, go tell your brothers what is happening " mom said dropping her phone.

"Okay mom, can I have the letter uncle mark?" I asked him politely. "Yeah sure" he answered and handed it over to me.

I went up to my brothers room and knocked not because I was sorry for badging but because the door was locked.

I heard the key opening the door, "come in Erin" Kyle said. I walked into the room and explained everything to them hoping they would understand it very well, which they didn't believe at first until I showed them the letter.

"So dad has been kidnapped by some guy and asked for a huge ransom" Brian said almost crying. "Yeah" I said nodding my head reapetedly and faced a direction where I saw the black hat.

"Who's hat is that?" I asked walking towards the direction. "Don't touch that, it's mine" Brian said wiping away is tears and swiped the hat from my hands. "You are the one who stole my science project" I said trying to hold my anger.

"I have no idea of what you are talking about and careful this hat is very expensive" Brian said. Kyle went to help mom with the cops down stairs, I could hear their voices.

"Then you don't mind to by a new one" I said and grabbed the hat from him, got a scissors. "You won't there I spent my whole allowance for that" Brian said stretching out his hand. "Oh yeah, watch me" I said and cut it to pieces.

"Nooooo" Brian screamed so loud as we were about to fight Kyle entered and tried to stop us. "Stop, the police need to interrogate you Erin and they will need the letter has evidence" Kyle said pulling me away from angry Brian.

I walked downstairs and greeted the police men as I saw my mom offering them beverages one of them uttered, "HI I am officer Jason please tell us what you know" he said picking up a pen and paper ready to write.

"What I know?, I will tell you what I know which is that my dad is been threatened right now and all you do is sit here eating beverages and asking me what I know" I could not believe I said that as I noticed that I was yelling and also everyone stared at me even my mom.

A tall man with brown eyes broke the silence with his cough, stood up and said "Kid just give us the letter and allow us do our job" he said stretching a smile on his face.

"Am, am sorry I can't find it, but am sure I had it with me" I said feeling my pockets.

"Honey just go upstairs to your room mummy can handle this okay?" mom said holding my hand and talking to me like a child.

"Wait, look I said pointing to the table" I said I couldn't stop noticing a note which I thought was just a note but the logo was there.

"A note"I said as my mom picked it up and started to read it. "AM COMING FOR YOU" mom said suddenly all their phone made a beeb, a message which was a picture of the logo on the letter.....
