That strange mark

Rosie tried to open the door to Mr. Joseph's office, but as expected, it was locked. "Oh, it's locked again!" Rosie exclaimed, frustrated. "That man is very smart." She then headed to his bedroom.

Rosie's eyes widened as she saw a huge painting of Mr. Joseph's family. "Wow, this painting is enormous! It wasn't here last time, but that's Mr. Joseph, and that lady... Ah, that must be his wife who died in an accident. And those three... must be Alphonso, Nisha, and Edward. This is their childhood picture." Rosie chuckled, "Alphonso and Nisha were very cute when they were kids, but Edward... uh, his face was like a raccoon, even as a child. He looked so mean and offensive, even back then." Rosie's gaze lingered on the painting, noticing something else. "Hmmm... Mr. Joseph has a scar on his eye. It's not visible now when we see him on the news... Let's check his drawer."

Rosie began to search the room, checking the drawer and then the closet. She found some files and her eyes scanned the contents. "These files have the coordinates of their next bomb blasting targets! Oh no, this is serious." Rosie searched the rest of the room but didn't find any more crucial information. "Hmm, I should get back now. I won't find much more here."

Before heading back to her room, Rosie decided to check on Alphonso. She entered his room and found him sleeping peacefully. Rosie sat beside him, feeling a pang of sympathy. "He must be very tired from last night. Poor him. I feel sorry for him, having such a mean and criminal dad. I wish I could tell him that his dad is a criminal, and that... I really love him... but no, no, I shouldn't. But I can't control this feeling. I'm still afraid of the day he'll find out the truth about his dad. Will he understand me, or...?" Rosie sighed and got up, leaving Alphonso's room.

After a while, Alphonso woke up, feeling refreshed. He headed to Rosie's room, where he found her sleeping. "She must be in pain because of those injuries," he thought. Just then, he heard a knock at the door. "Knock, knock!" Alphonso opened the door to find Nisha and Jennie. "Nisha, you're back, and Jennie...!"

Nisha smiled. "Yeah, she was worried about Rosie, so she came with me." Alphonso nodded, "Okay, Jennie. Hello! I was worried about Rosie too."

Jennie smiled. "Hello, Alphonso! I was at the market when I saw Nisha, so I decided to come with her to check on Rosie."

Nisha gestured, "Come, I'll show you Rosie's room." They entered Rosie's room, where Jennie saw her sleeping. "Don't worry, she'll be happy to see me. I'll wake her up." Nisha nodded and left to prepare something for them.

Jennie smiled and sat beside Rosie, waiting for her to wake up.
