The atmosphere in the room took a somber turn almost instantly.
Thalassa was helpless, while Hertha was racking her brains for a solution.
Just then, her phone rang. It was her colleague Rose.
Hertha picked up, listened to what Rose had to say, and her mood instantly lifted. "Really? Alright, I'll be there soon."
She ended the call and turned to Thalassa with newfound hope. "Rose just told me that Payne will be at the event at the Starhaven Hotel today."
Thalassa looked puzzled.
Hertha explained, "Payne is the captain of the Starhaven detective squad. If he's not the best, no one is. If you can convince him to help you with your investigation, he can probably get to the bottom of it in a few hours."
Thalassa understood, and she quickly rose to her feet. "Let's go."
"Wait a minute," Hertha said, scanning Thalassa up and down. "Are you wearing that?"
Thalassa was dressed in a white blouse and a black skirt that reached her knees.
The typical office look.
"Is there a problem?" she asked.
"That's a social event, so everyone will be in evening gowns."
"I don't have any evening gowns," Thalassa admitted. She never had a need for such attire.
"We'll just swing by the mall and pick something up. There's still time," Hertha said, linking arms with Thalassa and leading her out the door.
