Jonah spoke what everyone was thinking. Wouldn't it be Twilight Zone if the door was open, too? Hamilton tried the knob. It didn't budge. Ian stepped forward and examined the lock. Natalie's diary has better security than this. He produced a credit card and slipped it between the latch and the jamb. There was a click, and the door swung wi

Yeah! shouted Jonah, twirling the much larger Hamilton around the restaurant in a victory dance. The other diners watched in amazement. This wild display was hardly the public image of the too-cool-for-school Jonah Wizard. What's the matter? Hamilton challenged. Haven't you ever seen a happy rapper before?

Ian Kabra rolled up his window. My god, what's that smell? Behind the wheel, Sinead laughed. It's called fresh air. Growing up in London, you've probably never breathed it before. And I hope I never breathe it again.

They've got these things called lockers, I raved on. The Halls are lined with them. And you won't believe what they're for! They're for locking stuff away-so other people won't steal it! Why can't everyone share? ~ Cap

Dan was suspicious. How did he find out where we were staying? Amy frowned. I think that's the message inside the message. He wants us to know that he has a long reach–that's he's rich and powerful. Like we'll see his giant mansion and assume he works at Burger King, scoffed Dan.

Amy hugged Sinead, and Dan scratched Saladin. Later, Saladin. Take it easy on Kabra. On second thought, don't.

Free food! mumbled Hamilton, his mouth full. No wonder you're rich. You don't have to pay for anything. Since when is it free? Jonah demanded. If I don't leave a big tip, it'll be all over Europe that the Wiz is a cheapskate! They'll seat me behind the sound-man from the penguin movie at the Oscars!

Dan instantly recognized the angry scratch that stretched from the corner of Ian's eye all the way along the olive skin to his chin. Have you been messing with Saladin? No. Saladin has been messing with me, Ian shot back. He isn't big on Lucians, Dan explained. Animals are really good judges of character.

They crested a rise, and there it was, in the hollow between rolling hills—a low, square building, ghostly gray in the moonlight. Is that it? asked Hamilton. It probably isn't the local opera house, groaned Ian.

Who's that new guy with the snooty accent who came out and talked to the police? Evan persisted. He looks like some kind of male model. That's just my cousin Ian, Amy explained. Not much of a family resemblance, Evan noted sourly. He's like a twenty-fifth cousin, ten times removed. Evan was not satisfied.

Here's some more stuff we're going to need. 1 pair coveralls 1 extension ladder (30 foot) 1 glass cutter 1 artist's portfolio (large) 1 water pistol 1 bottle india ink 1 portable trampoline (collapsible) 1 bicycle w/basket 4 pizza boxes Jonah whistled. I hope you've got some crazy evil-genius strategy, 'cause–straight up–I don't get it.
