The Midnight Gang

Chapter 24

3 months later

The renovations were almost over, and I was starting to enjoy the new manor. It was more me then my Father.

The sun was sitting at the highest point of the sky when Alison, Mel, Kai, and Adrian walked through the door.

"We're back! Scar! We got your bag as well!"

I ran over to them. "Thank you. I really needed this." I opened the backpack that I had many years ago filled with the weapons from when Lilly died. I took out a dagger and examined it carefully.

"Scar?! Where the hell did that come from?"

"You know when Lilly died? Well, I collected all the weapons from everybody there and hid them in my bag. I haven't touched them since I first saw my Father, but I needed to see them now."

"Why?"

"Because I wanted to see if the idiot put their initials on them."

"Why?"

"Because it might be the same person."

"Huh?"

"Just shut up for a minute."

Silence. Thank God. I examined the blade but there was no sign of engravings, so I looked at the handle. And exceedingly small there was a set of initials stating E.S.

"I knew it. Can someone call Sam please. Explain why we're here and then send someone to get him and Poppy please. I need to show them something."

"Okay."

Adrian walked off to call Sam and Poppy.

"Scar?"

"Not right now. I'll explain everything as soon as I can."

"Okay?"

"Go and tell someone to get all the news papers from September 2012. Please."

"Okay. And then you'll explain?"

"Yes. And Mel can you get everybody to gather in the drawing room in about 2 hours please?"

"Yeah. Come on Ali, she'll explain everything soon. Won't you Scar?"

"Yeah. Kai, can you get the rest of my weapons from back home please?"

"Yeah. See you in a bit?"

"Yeah."

I put the dagger back inthe bag and walked to the drawing room where I would see Sam and Poppy soon.
