#### Chapter 2: The Mysterious Glimmer

Previously: The decrypted contents of the letter were even more cryptic in plaintext, and indeed, sounded like some warning. But what can that really mean? And, how does that relate to the disappearance of Mr. Wright? Maybe, future will disclose.
You were excitingly waiting for your next assignment. And two days later, it came again.

Assignment #2
OBJECTIVE: Decode the message.
DESCRIPTION: Our client has reported back with an interesting incident and evidence in hand. According to her, a mysterious glimmer was noticed by the kids around the locality yesterday evening.
In the beginning, it was believed to be an illusion, but when noticed closely, it turned out that someone from behind the distant woods was sending some signal using different patterns of torchlight. The sender was too far to be visible, and also vanished when people went closer. But, our client noted that pattern which, fortunately, turned out to be in morse code. She too didn't saw the sender but believes it could be her husband.
Early in the morning today, she came to our firm with that evidence (i.e. the message in the morse code). It is attached herewith, and you are expected to decode and submit it as soon as possible; so that we can continue our investigation further.
CODE INFO: Morse Code.

Interesting!!
What can be the message now? Who could be the stranger behind the woods? Was he/she trying to contact Mrs. Wright, if yes, then why?
Let's check.
