...The Third Clue...
Aaron used his high speed to reach the ceiling without being noticed. He found a small mirror. it was the source of that light.
- What is this thing is doing here?
He took it to Dylan and the others to take a look at it. When Sarra saw it, she snatched it from his hand.
- This...This is Tarou mirror!
- Are you sure?
- Yes, look at its back! Tarou's name is engraved on it.
- Where did you get it?
- We brought it as a souvenir from Greece.
- Weird! What was it doing there?
- Aaron, was there anything else there?
- I will go back to check the place.
- I will go with you, maybe there is something else that belongs to Tarou.
Aaron and Sarra went to the ceiling to check on the place while leaving Dylan, Laila, and Annie behind.
Laila was still feeling embarrassed about what did happen in the morning. She couldn't look Dylan in the eyes. The situation was awkward between the both of them, so Dylan tried to break the ice:
- I hope they find something or we will finish the journey with another failure.
- Yeah, I hope that too.
- About what did happen in the morning, it wasn't your fault.
- Alright!
- Your boyfriend won't get mad, right? I can explain to him if you want.
- What boyfriend?
- Don't you have a boyfriend?
Laila was surprised by that sudden question:
- No, of course not! I don't have a boyfriend.
- Really? I'm sorry, I assumed that you have one because you have been avoiding me since the morning.
Laila did never think that she will talk about such a subject with Dylan. She became confused:
- I...I wasn't avoiding you. I just felt very embarrassed about what I did and I couldn't apologize properly. I will hate it if someone did the same thing to me.
- Is that why you don't have a boyfriend?
Laila smiled to hide her annoyance:
- Well, probably yes. No man will like a woman that she hates even holding hands. I hate physical contact with others the most.
- But you carried Annie, and you seemed fine with it!
- Yeah, she is a little cute girl. I hate being touched by men. They are disgusting.
- You will be alone forever.
- I have no choice, I can't force myself to do it.
- Maybe you still didn't find the right man who will make you love skinship. I think you must look for him instead.
- I don't have time for that, besides men are treacherous. I can't trust them.
- Then, you should look for a monster.
Laila didn't hear him well because he was mumbling:
- What did you say?
- Oh, I said that our monster took so long out there, what are they doing?
After some moments, Aaron appeared in front of them.
- So, did you find something?
- I don't know...
- What do you mean you don't know?
- We find something that looks like the treasury, but when we opened it. Nothing was inside..only some sands, like the previous one.
- Take me there, I must see it.
Aaron carried Dylan to the ceiling, there was a big box that looked exactly like the treasury. Dylan put his hands and started to remove the sands hoping to find something, but still, nothing was there. He stood while looking confused.
- Where did you find the mirror?
- Here, beside the box.
Dylan put his hand again, but this time he grabbed some sands.
- What was the color of the sands in the Treasury?
- I think they were white.
- These are red.
- What does that mean?
- I think that, what we have been looking for, was in front of us the entire time.
