"Oh, there you are" exclaimed, Lily. I've been searching the whole house for you. Come on John start packing, we got to go to our new house right." 


"Ok mom, just this last game and I'll pack up. Did Isabel pack?" asked john


 "Yes, your sister is much faster than you." 


"Ok mom, would you stop comparing us, I just asked if she packed up."


"Right honey, you need to pack as we're shifting this afternoon and your things are the only ones which are not packed yet!! And if you are not getting up, that video game is going straight into the bin." 


"OK".


John lazily got up and started packing. Isabel came into the room, "Oh you've still not packed, yay!! I'm the winner." John ignores his sister Isabel to avoid any fight and continues packing. After some time, he takes a short nap and gets up, eats lunch and jumps into the car.


"Shall we go then??" asked James.


"Yes, dad" replied enthused John and Isabel.


The journey took a few hours before they reached their destination.


"The new house is wonderful," said John. Isabel liked it too. They both were so happy to finally move into a new house. 


The lawn and the plants, tress around the house made them feel comfortable. The portico of the house was elegantly designed. The veranda was spacious and the entry door had intricately designed wooden frame and doors. The interior of the house was very well planned. It was a two-storeyed duplex house. There was a cupboard underneath the stairs leading to the first floor. The house also had a courtyard with full of flowers, and an enormous swimming pool. 


John and Isabel made new friends and were attending a new school. They were learning new things and were satisfied with their new home and the overall experience after moving there.


A month had passed by the blink of any eye. One night, when everyone was fast asleep, John suddenly woke up to some awkward creaking noises, to which he had goosebumps all over his body. He was thinking there might be some ghosts in the house and didn't even dare to go out of his room to explore the source.


The next day, he quickly told his sister Isabel everything he experienced. She was laughing her head off on hearing John's narration and the way he was expressing his fear. John was a bit hurt and angry about Isabel's lack of seriousness towards his fearful experience. As Isabel wasn't serious, he was desperate to share about this with someone but didn't dare to, for the fear of his emotions getting mocked up again. John was cautiously spending his nights thereafter. However, the strange creaking noise never came again. And the memories of that scary night slowly started fading from his memory.


Just a month later, when John was curled up cozily in his bed, he heard the creaking noise of his bedroom door. He was scared to death as his memories of that scary night suddenly came afresh, and he didn't dare to turn back.


Slowly, a hand touched his shoulder, to which he turned with fear to see and to his great relief, it was none other than his sister Isabel.


"What happened?" asked John.


"Umm... I heard some weird noises" said Isabel.


"What the noises were like" asked John.


"Creaking and someone whispering" said Isabel.


John's eyes widened. He quickly told Isabel ''we will talk about this in the morning."


"Can I sleep in your room?" asked Isabel. John nodded in agreement.


John was unable to sleep and shifting uncomfortably in his bed while Isabel was sound asleep. As time passed, John slowly went to sleep.


"Wake up John, it is 11:00 am now" screamed Isabel.


John slowly opened his eyes and went to brush his teeth. It was a Sunday and he thought that today he and Isabel could talk about the scary night. He completed his schoolwork, ate breakfast and called Isabel to discuss the night’s happenings.


"So what did you hear, when, where," asked John curiously.


Isabel started narrating her scary experience, "I was trying to sleep, but I couldn’t. I was just staring at the ceiling when I heard those noises of creaking and whisper of two people, and I think they were coming from the hall."


"So what do you think, should we investigate it ourselves further?" asked John.


"I'm ready," said Isabel.


The next day john and Isabel come back from school and were dumbstruck to find a note from their mother.


Dear John and Isabel,

Your dad and I went to another town on a very important matter,

Do not fight and don't mess up the house. we promise to be back by noon tomorrow.

Love,

Your mom, Lily


The thought of being alone made John scared. His thoughts started revolving around those noises and whispers. Isabel, on the other had turned pale looking at John.


However, John being the elder and feeling responsible towards his sister, gathered courage and said, "we will try and investigate to see what is it." Isabel nodded in acceptance.


They both completed their homework, slept for a while, so they can keep themselves awake at night to investigate the matter.


As night fell, John grew more scared but he was determined to know what was happening in the house. 


John and Isabel had their dinner and hid themselves at a convenient place to keep a watch on the hall. As midnight was approaching, they saw two men entering their house from main door. They went near the cupboard under the stairs. They looked around and moved the cupboard slowly. However, they could not avoid the creaking sound when the cupboard was moved. Underneath the cupboard was a passage to an underground room. Both of them went underneath.


John and Isabel stared surprisingly at each other to find a hidden underground room in their house, and quickly went back up to John's room.


"Did you see that," asked John.


"Yes, I did not know there was an underground passage in our own home," said Isabel.


"Do you think we should inform the cops?" asked John.


"First we will see what is there down in that tunnel next morning," advised Isabel. John seemed convinced with the thought and both of them went to sleep. They heard the noise again but were not afraid anymore as they know the reason. The thieves placed the cupboard as it was and left the place.


The next morning, after finishing their daily chores, breakfasted on a piece of toast, they went to the cupboard, moved it. They saw some steps leading to an underground room. They went down and they couldn’t believe what they saw. The room underneath was filled with lot of GOLD !!!!!!!. They now understood why those two thieves were frequently visiting their house.


When their parents came that afternoon, John and Isabel explained their scary experiences and told them how they investigated the whole matter. The parents were proud of their kids and informed the matter to the cops.


The cops laid a trap for the thieves and hid themselves in the underground room, and both were successfully nabbed.


John and Isabel were awarded by the police for their bravery as they helped cops nab the country's most wanted thieves.
