no crank with key fob

Hi All
I had my car running at idle for about 10 minutes then shut it off.
later came back and try to start the car and nothing happen.
all the cluster warning lights and gauges are working but the car just doesn't crank.
I checked the battery voltage and it's good at 12.50V
could it be my starter relay ? or my immobilizer/alarm is broken?
Please help cuz I can get to car to turn on.

Thanks,

FIXED.
I took the starter relay out and bench tested it.
Verify that it works fine.
Plug it back in and the engine starts right up.
It could be a loose connection.
I will get a new relay just in case this relay acts up again.

Thanks.
