THE TWIN DILEMMA- CHAPTER 3
They thanked the person and then went towards the swimming pool. Rina, the polite twin, was sitting calmly on a resting chair. "Hello, Rina, Hope you're good. We wanted to ask you something." Brandon asked. Rina greeted the four people, Lilly, Bob, Brandon, and Mrs. Perry Turner. "Hello, yes, you can ask me!"

"Yes, we do have a lot of clues, Bob. Well, I wanted to tell you that when I was passing through the captain's cabin, there was a porthole, and it was not that wide. So, it means that someone thin might have probably climbed through the hole, and must've robbed the captain as well!" Lilly...
