It had been several months since our discovery of the small grave where the three sisters had been buried by their poor, loving father. In the grave we had found a booklet with names of a secret society of heroes sworn to exact justice on the murderer of these innocent children. We tracked the clues and signed our names at the bottom of the list.

We told two good friends of our discovery and they too were outraged at this heinous crime. They ventured out into the wilds and like us, discovered the grave and laid fresh flowers on the children’s burial mound.

Together, we made contact with Ina Enssr, spokeswoman for the society of D3Z, and through her we managed to get our hands on a coded manuscript . We searched the book for clues, brainstormed over the meaning of certain paragraphs and slowly, surely progress was made.

Jan and Annelies scouted out the city of Wageningen, following the directions a cryptic message had provided. “Morgen komt nooit (Tomorrow will never come) led them to the water meadows near the city of Wageningen. They returned victorious and we were now ready to start the final chapter of our quest for justice.

De hemel of de hel (Heaven or Hell)

We now had gathered almost all the clues for a successful chase, but some unanswered questions remained. If the chase were this easy, why had the murderer not been brought to justice yet? No, we had our suspicions that all was not right and determined as we were, we returned to Wageningen for another extensive search for clues. We found the various locations named in the manuscript and jotted the missing information down in our notebook; Doctor Jones sr. grail diary was but a pale shadow of our gathered wisdom.

Our search led us through Wageningen’s picturesque town center, past De Wereld, a hotel which had been the backdrop for the negotiations of the German surrender on May 5, 1945. We moved on, leaving the city center behind.

At last, after four hours of determinedly following up on clues and hints, we found a secret hide-out!

The murderer might still be present, so caution was advised. The men of the search party were sent in first and heroically braved the narrow tunnel while Annelies and Astrid stayed somewhat behind, ready to yell for help in case of immediate danger.

Success!!

Fortunately, the lair had been abandoned but a vital clue had been left behind! An envelope with specific instructions had been sent to an accomplice. If we were quick, we might be able to intercept this important message!

We sprinted back to our cars and broke every speedlimit, racing towards the address given. Once there, we plundered the mail box of this Peter Jansen, and shortly after we held the vital envelope in our hands!
