THE FIRST CASE
Two months have passed since the discovery of the Secret Room but still no case has come into their hand. So they are a little depressed. But, it must be remembered that patience is a virtue. One day when they went into the Secret Room, they saw an update in the computer——–it was a case for them———finally they have got their first case. The message stated as follows :-
“Excuse me. We are in grave danger. We need your help. While we were going through the internet, we saw the name of your detective agency. So we contacted you. If you are interested, then you can come in the dock by 10 A.M. I will be wearing a blue T shirt and a titan watch. Please recognize me from that outlook. You might be thinking that why I am not giving you my contact number. The reason is that I have lost my mobile phone in an accident. Your presence will be awaited.”
They all began to think in their mind silently that whether they should go to meet the stranger. But they finally came to an unique solution of that there is no harm in going and meeting someone and if they think it appropriate to help them then they can take the case or they might leave it. There is no compulsion. So they finally decided that they will meet tomorrow at Barsha’s house and there from they will go to the dock.
But Ellias refused the proposal that if they goes to Barsha’s house, then her father may again start lecturing them as he knew very well that Mr. Ray did not like Nakul and Ellias due to some unknown reason. So the final decision was that they will meet tomorrow at Ellias’s residence and from there only they will be going to the dock. So, the next morning, Nakul went to Ellias’s house and Sameera opened the house door. She had just taken a bath which could be said clearly from her wet hairs which were open and touching her back and which she was trying to dry with her wet white towels and was wearing a yellow salwar which was making her look like an angel.
Nakul did not say her a word as Nakul did not want her to know about all that as he really cares for her and did not want her to get into any kind of trouble for all these reasons. Sameera was just looking awesome and on the other hand Ellias was looking awful. He was wearing a red three quarter pant with a black T shirt with standing hairs. Actually he was going to take a bath. Nakul asked him to get ready quickly but he was moving in his usual pace and went to the bathroom and closed its doors. Sameera on the other hand asked Nakul that where they are going and Nakul lied that they will be going to watch a movie. Sameera wanted to go with them but Nakul said that as she is having an upcoming examination, therefore it will not be appropriate for her to go and watch the movie.
By this time a few silent minutes passed Barsha had also arrived there and Ellias had also completed his bath and was getting ready in the other room. The trio left the house exactly at 9:45 A.M. and arrived at the dock at 9 :56A.M. sharp. They were standing at a particular place but their eyes were moving searching for blue T shirt and a titan watch. Finally they saw a muscular man smoking a cigarette and watching time in his titan watch as if he is waiting for someone. Moreover, he was wearing a blue T shirt. They became pretty sure that it was the man they were searching for. But in order to remove the benefit of doubt, they went straight to the person and asked him,
“Excuse me Sir! Are you the person who was searching for the detective agency?”
The man also replied excitingly, ‘Oh! Yes! Yes! Are you Mr. Ben?” looking towards Nakul.
Nakul then replied to him smiling, “Sir, BEN is not the name of any particular individual. It is the name of our detective agency. It is the name given on the basis of the first letter of our names. So, I am not Ben, we are BEN standing for Barsha Ray, Ellias Khan and Nakul Dey, that is me.”——-by saying this, he introduced him to Ellias and Barsha and then he asked the introduction of that man.
The man said, “My name is David John. Please to meet you.”
Barsha said, “Excuse me, Sir. In the message , you used the term, ‘we’, so could you please tell us, who is/are the other guy(s)?”
Mr. David said with an intelligent smile, “Eagle’s eyes. I am impressed. I am now absolutely certain that I have made no mistake in selecting you three and I am sure that you three are surely going to solve our problem and to answer your question, dear lady, the other guy’s name is Ashutosh Chakraborty. We two have messaged it.”
Moreover he added that if they are interested in taking up the case, then they can come to his house the next evening. They could discuss the matter thereon. By stating this, she gave them his house address which Nakul saved in his mobile as a draft.
On the next evening, they went to the address and when they knocked the door, it was Mr. David John, who opened the door from the other side. He welcomed them with a pleasant smile and said,
“We two have been waiting for you three only. Please come in.”
They entered the house. The house was not very big. There were only two rooms in the house. In the room, they sat, had two chairs and a medium sized bed. In one of the chairs was sitting a middle aged man with spectacles in his eyes which were glancing them after his magazine reading was disturbed by the entry of the trio. Mr.David John introduced them to the other guy as Ashutosh Chakraborty and he just greeted them with a formal smile without saying a single word but putting down the magazine. Mr. David offered them some beverages but inspite of their formal refusal, Mr. David provided the trio with three Cappuccino coffees and a bowl full of pea nut butter cookies and a Frappuccino and some Oatmeal cookies for himself. Mr. Ashutosh was provided with a cold coffee and some chocolate chip cookies. Then they without waiting for a moment started updating them with the case details. The case was something as follows :-
