“Who I am is none of your concern…I will lead you to Emma if you give me what I want”. “Where is Emma? Is she alive? What do you want? “Mehek frowned. “Emma is not dead yet, but she will if you deny doing what I say” “WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME” Mehek bellowed. “Stay calm, YOU HAVE ALREADY ENTERED MY MAZE MORGAN”, the phone call got terminated. Mehek tried calling back, but it wasn’t reachable. She called Emma, but her phone was switched off. Bewildered, Mehek headed towards the kitchen to find any clue. She was filled with fear and numerous thoughts flooded in her mind. She started following the blood stains which went into the garden through the back door. Exactly at the Centre of the path in the garden, her body got completely flushed by discerning the trace of blood stains been moulded in the shape of an infinite symbol.Suddenly, someone started knocking on the door which made her heart beat faster.

Neil shouted-“ERWIN!”…”ERWIN ARE YOU THERE?” In Pasadena, this was a place where men were daunted to come, as it was unruly and prone to danger. ’Erwin is in a great trouble, why did Erwin get kidnapped? I might get some clues from his house. Though Erwin’s apartment was left unlocked as anticipated by Neil, it seemed neat and filled with silence. Neil started to search for clues and then he saw a checklist on the wall near the reading table. Baseball with Neil was checked in blue with a tick just like the others in the list,but the tick mark was crossed by a backslash in red ink.Suddenly, someone knocked on the door….

She opened the door in a dubious and trepid state, it was a courier boy waiting with a sealed cover in his hand. “Good evening Miss Morgan, I am from courier express, here is a courier for you”. “Good evening, Thank you .where is it from?”, “Mr.X from Washington “by checking the sender details. ”X? Who is Mr.X” Mehek frowned, “Sorry mam that’s all the information we have” courier boy taking out the delivery track book. Mehek opened the sealed cover after locking the door, she got scandalised by seeing the empty paper with the same sign which she saw in the garden with the blood stain.

It was jenny who lived across the hall -”Hi Neil, I have something which will get you excited *wink*”, “What is it?” Neil asked insouciantly “what’s wrong with you?! I thought you will be all excited, but instead you have weird look on your face” ”I am sorry jenny, I just have a lot going on in my mind right now” ”Ok I am sure this will cheer you up, the girl you met last night gave me this phone number to apprise you to call her” – jenny. Neil got perplexed “what?! I haven’t been with any girl last night, Erwin and I went to a movie”. ”oh, then someone might be following you, Mr. Sherlock. Call her, bye”. Neil being in a nonplussed state took a cigarette from his pocket and headed towards the reading table where Erwin kept the lighter.

“I want to tell you something” said drake, ‘Is he going to propose now’ Clara’s stomach started doing the flips as she thought about what was about to happen. ”Yes sure,” she said timidly. ”No matter what happens in the future, I’ll never ever cheat. I will always be loyal and honest to you. I want to grow old with you. Because I...”Drake continued holding Clara’s hand when Suddenly Clara’s phone started ringing

Neil stared shrewdly towards the checklist, he was lost in his thoughts thinking about Erwin, while flicking the lighter. Suddenly, Neil got intimidated by seeing the extension of edges of x making it a conversion of X mark (at the checklist of baseball) to an infinite symbol, when the fire got nearer to it. Breaking the silence in the room, Neil’s phone started to ring. ”Hello” answered puzzled Neil “WELCOME TO MY MAZE HAMILTON”
***********
”Hello who is this?” Clara answered. ”EMMA” replied in a mellifluous voice, Clara stood up in an elated mood and continued “Emma, How are you? And I am extremely sorry. Please forgive me.” The sweet voice continued “Clara, I am fine. I need to talk to you. Meet me at Bailey Avenue, California tomorrow at 10:00 am”.

She started rushing towards the garden to compare the symbol. She slipped and fell on the wet kitchen floor, and the paper in her hand got wet. Her eyes were filled with revelation when letters started to appear on the paper. Letters on the paper:
“What is it? Is it a code? Code for what?”
