Hey everyone, so this is going to be my first multi-chaptered story. I hope it will come out well. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. And please review!
Oliver Davis sighed for the nth time in the last half an hour. He was aganist everything which was currently going on,but he was forced into it. He could have been happily going through his next case by this time, with nobody to disturb him with the exception of his annoying twin of course, but his brother had to ruin every single plan of his!
Eugene and Oliver Davis were currently on their way to their next case, in Japan, in a cramped car with no air conditioning, on an extremely bumpy road which was not allowing him to read his book peacefullyand to top it all, his twin was acting like a stupid 5 year old.
Oliver shut his book and massaged his temples.
"Gene, you don't shut up, I will make you walk the rest of the way." Naru threatened through gritted teeth. Of course Gene ignored him.
"Can you believe it Noll, we are finally here!" Gene squealed like a girl. Planning to effectively ignore him, and failing miserably yet again, Oliver did not even attempt to open his book. Instead he rolled down his side of the window and watched as the scenery went by.
Japan was a fine place even though it was melting him at the moment. Oliver never held any particular interest towards it. On the other hand, Gene loved Japan. He always wanted to come here and know more about their birth parents, but their adoptive parents, Luella and Martin were a bit skeptical about letting them off to another country without a guide and without the media being alerted. It was finally decided that, since they were 21 and old enough to handle themselves for one or two months, Lin Koujo, one of Martin's employees would be their guide. On Luella's insistence.
"Wow!" Gene exclaimed, mesmerized. Wondering what caught his brother's attention this time, Noll looked out of his window. He held his breath.
It was a beautiful mansion, the huge garden infront of the mansion was full of flowering plants and a lively and lovely atmosphere surrounded it. It looked nothing like a haunted one, contrary to the mansions he encountered his previous cases. He wouldn't say that haunted houses would appear like the old, run down ones that they show in the movies, but they do have some negative energy surrounding them. But the one he was currently standing infront of was definitley something.
"This is certainly something." Gene said quietly beside Noll. Noll caught the doubtfulness in his voice.
"It seems a bit too perfect." Noll said, walking towards the door and unlocking it. The house was well kept, probably cleaned and arranged just a few hours before.
"It's huge." Gene commented, being the first one to enter. He fell on to the couch and stretched himself.
"Is it a takeaway or are we having our dinner out?" Gene questioned rubbing his stomach.
"Get the luggage." Noll commanded and started climbing the steps.
"That doesn't answer my question?" Gene yelled after Noll. Of course he was ignored.
"Idiot scientist." Gene muttered before exciting the mansion.
There were doors. Too many doors. It was pain to go through all of the doors. Some were empty, some did have furniture covered with white blankets.
Noll continued to walk hands in his pockets, skipping doors that seemed uninteresting. Finally he stopped at a door. Nothing interesting about this too, but he was tird of skipping doors. This door was a particularly simple and plain one without any handiwork on it like the others did. Noll pushed the door open and entered.
It was an old, dusty room. This particular room wasn't cleaned. This room too was huge, it had a piano and something like a huge photo frame covered with a white blanket. He had no idea why something as valuable as the piano wasn't covered? He ran his fingers through the dust covered keys. It was a fine one. Noll liked the piano. He liked to play it whenever he felt stressed or after a long day at BSPR. The music was soothing and calmed his nerves. Noll unintentionally glanced at the covered frame. He sure was feeling too curious today. Maybe Gene was finally rubbing off on him.
Noll lifted his hand and clutched the blanket covering the frame and pulled it. He started coughing because of the dust. When he was finally done coughing, he looked at the frame.
Cinnamon eyes shining with playfulness and joy, a bright smile, honey coloured hair and a radiant face. An innocent look. A young lady about 20, looking over her shoulder, her honey coloured locks covering part of her eyes, smiling at whoever was taking her picture.
"Beautiful, isn't she?" Gene questioned from behind.
"Hmm..." was all Gene received in reply. Noll was staring, at the girl in the picture. That's a first. Gene only smirked.
"It's rude to stare Noll." Gene teased. This snapped Noll out of his trance and cleared his throat.
"There's nothing interesting here, you are wasting my time Gene." Noll said and exited the room.
"Hey! I was not the one who was staring!" Gene protested. Noll was out of sight.
Gene just stood infront of the frame and smiled softly. The girl was really something if she managed to make his idiot scientist of a brother stop and stare.
"Who are you." Gene questioned. The girl in the frame just kept smiling.
