"Where is she going?" Erin asked. "And why is she in a hurry?"

"I don't know, but we're soon going to find out!" Delia said as she started to run. "Hurry! Before we lost her!"

The three detectives started to run. They rounded the corner, but there was no sign of Clare.

"Where is she?" Hazel asked. 

"She must be here. Maybe she went inside the house again." Erin suggested.

"But why?" Delia asked. "Why did she come out if she was just going inside again?"

Hazel shrugged. "We'll just have to ask her, right?"

The three detectives went inside the house, but still, Clare was nowhere to be seen.

"Grandma, have you seen Clare?" Erin asked. 

Her grandmother shook her head. "No, she just ran out a few moments ago. I thought she was with you."

"Why in the Earth would Clare be with you?" A familiar voice said behind. When the detectives turned around, a strange girl was staring at them.

"Who are you?" Delia asked. "And why are you in Erin's house?"

"Oh, I think Erin knows me, right Erin?" The strange girl asked.

Erin studdied her carefully. She'd seen her somewhere...but WHERE?

"GRACE?" Erin exclaimed at last. "But I thought you live in-" 

"Who?" Another voice said from behind. When the detectives turned around, there was Lina, with some three strange girls.

"Who are they?" Hazel whispered to Delia. "And why are they in Erin's grandma's house?"

"I don't know," Delia whispered back, "but I feel a sudden aquaintance with them..."

"Oh, are you the-what was it...right. The Eliain detectives?" The girl with a boss-mood spoke first.

"Yeah," Hazel spoke uncertainly, "who are you?"

"Oh, us," The boss-girl said, "we're the Hania detectives!"
