"The most recent call Celcus has received was last night from a payphone in Uptown Deansville. That's right outside of Belle City up north." Raphael said.
"Is there any way to check who called him?" Henry queried.
"Not that I know of. If there were cameras around that area, I could hack into them to see who used the payphone at the time Celcus received the call, and then we would know who called him. But, my computer isn't picking up any signals."
"Then, how are we supposed to figure out who called him?"
Raphael turned his focus to Henry. "The only way we can find out who called Celcus is to find Celcus himself."
R.O.S.S. Headquarters, Belle City, 8:23a.m
Denella opened John's office door only to find Brandon rummaging through John's files that she had thought were kept secure. John never allowed anyone to even step foot near all the files that were private. "What are you doing in here?"
Brandon quickly closed the drawer shut and stood up. Shocked, he hesitated before he spoke. "N-nothing. I'm just trying to find something. I though you left to go find out who made that phone call."
"I already told you, there's no way to track down who called. They only have cameras in Downtown Deansville, not Uptown Deansville. And, what do you mean you weren't doing anything? Those files are restricted. John has never shown any of those files to anyone, not even me! What were you trying to find?"
"I-I was looking for . . . Celcus' files. I couldn't find it anywhere." He swallowed as if he was nervous about something. Denella could tell he was hiding something. He was starting to sweat and his breathing was heavy. He kept looking away when he was talking to her. He wouldn't dare to look in her eyes. Was he lying to her about something?
Denella walked up to the untidy desk where he sat down behind, her heeled boots making a sound each step she took. She removed some of the papers from the desk and underneath them all were Celcus' files. "My mom always told me something: 'Seek and ye shall find.'" And with that, she turned around and started to walk out, her hair bouncing up and down against her turquoise flannel top.
"Wait!" Brandon called.
Denella turned around and looked at him.
Brandon took a deep breath. "My mom also use to tell me something: 'Ask and ye shall receive.'" I've been wanting to ask you something, but I kept holding off." Brandon said as he noticed how she was now interested in what he had to say. "I was wondering, you don't have to say yes, but I was wondering if you wanted to come with me to do some archery. I know you're going to probably say no, but there really is nothing we can do right now. I mean if you're busy or--"
