CH 29: The Minaret

At midnight, and after making sure that Annie was in deep sleep. Aaron, Dylan, Laila, and Sarra went back to the Taj Mahal. Sarra helped Laila and Dylan to pass through the gate without being seen. As for Aaron, he was already on the top of the minaret looking for the flower.

At the top of the stairs, a balcony encircles the upper sections of the tower.

" Where is it? It should be somewhere here."

He kept looking around until Dylan and the rest caught up with him. The top of the minaret was a narrow place it could barely fit the four of them.

- Did you find it?

- No, not yet.

- Maybe Rahul was mistaken.

- I don't think so, it must be here somewhere.

Laila lifted her head and noticed the flower right above their heads, on the ceiling, hidden in the darkness. She was about to tell them, but then she decided not to. Instead, she pretended to keep searching:

- At this rate, we won't be able to find anything. The place became too crowded.

- What should we do?
