Chapter 02: Daniel, Aaron and Ella stepped into the case

Daniel, Aaron and Ella went to Mr. Justin Raymond's house only to have tea in the evening, and also because of their friends Owen, Andrew and Rose. But Mr. Raymond made a request to them to have dinner him and for this regard he gave a long list of food to his servant Max and ordered him to prepare everything as soon as possible. Max stared at Daniel, Aaron and Ella with sharp eyes as if he was saying, "If you hadn't come, I would have had to prepare only one thing, but now I have to prepare so much." However, he could not say anything in front of Mr. Raymond, but Mr. Raymond felt that sharp gaze and he shouted:

"What's the matter? Why are you staring at these three like that?"

"Yes ... no ...", He stammered.

"And then you also lie.Tell me quickly, why did you stare at them? Don't you know how important they are to this house?" , Mr. Raymond said with anger.

"Yes! Of course I know, I made a mistake. I'm sorry." He said quickly.

"Then just hold your ear for an hour, after that I will forgive you sincerely." Mr. Raymond said.

"For an hour !!.... I'll die!!", He said nervously.

"You can never die for an hour. If you die, you will die forever, that is, until the Day of Judgment. You will be resurrected on that day.", Mr. Raymond said.

"I mean, after holding my ear for an hour, I'll be half dead, and in that case how will I prepare food for them?", He said this to save his life.

"Yes, that's right too. You're a wise man. Well, first you prepare the food and when you're done, come to me and hold your ear for an hour." Justin Raymond said with a devilish smile.

"Oh God!! It's still the same.", Max said sadly.

"Uncle! I think you should forgive him this time. If he stares at us again, let him hold his ear for three hours instead of one". Daniel interrupted

"Alright I'll let him go this time for the sake of you three kids.", Justin Raymond replied.

That's how Max's life was saved and he had to eat dinner. After dinner, Justin Raymond went outside the house with all three of them, sat in the car and tried to start it but soon he realized that something went wrong with the engine and will not start, he was upset. Seeing him upset, Aaron said:

"Don't worry, we'll take a cab."

"Well, I'll get a cab for you guys." Mr. Raymond said and went to bring a cab.

Ten minutes later he was on his way home in a cab, but suddenly the cab stopped on one side of the road.

"What happened uncle?" Daniel asked the driver nervously.

"Maybe the petrol ran out, I also started using safe petrol and then forgot to fill up the tank. There's not a drop left.",said the driver sadly.

"No problem Uncle.", Aaron said helplessly.

The three paid the bill and got out of the car. It was eight o'clock at night. The roads were deserted due to the cold weather. It was almost midnight, and sometimes a car was seen passing by. They looked at each other and then Daniel asked:

"What do you guys think? Shouldn't we march on foot?"

"Yeah! It's only a mile away. Just a few teeth will grind.", Aaron said with a smirk.

"Maybe, no taxi will come here for half an hour, it would be better to walk.", Daniel suggested

"Yes, you're right, then let's not waste time anymore.",Ella said.

Aaron didn't say anything. He just walked with them. They started walking on a side road to shorten the route.

"Maybe our star is in orbit today.",Ella said.

"I didn't meet him, otherwise he would have asked, what's the matter, why did you think of this rotation?" Aaron said, making a face.

"Dude, I wish you could talk about something interesting.", Daniel sighed.

They kept on joking so that the time and the way would end quickly. For a while all three fell silent. After a while, Ella began to speak:

"Mom and Dad must be upset now. Maybe they'll call Uncle Justin, and when Uncle will tell them that the three of us have already left for home a long time ago, their anxiety will increase."

"So? What do you want us to do?" Daniel said with a frown.

"At least we can take a quick step.", Ella said.

"At least it's better that we are still walking in this dark and cold night.", Aaron said with innocence. And suddenly he was stunned and became a statue.

"What happened, did you even postpone your intention to take a step now?", Ella said angrily.

Aaron did not respond. He just kept looking in one direction. Now they also looked in amazement. At first they did not see anything in semi-darkness, but then they too were shocked and took a few steps forward. The next moment their eyes widened with fear.....
