Annie- Found a clue in the library. Check the New York Public Library.

Lily- Ok, we'll get back to you. Thanks Annie!

"What on earth do you think you're doing?"

Lily and Noah froze. "Ermm...we're..." Noah stuttered, trying to come up with a reasonable excuse. "I know what you're up to" said Daniel, his eyes narrowing. "You do?" Lily gulped.

So much for sneaking out of the hotel to try and search up on Lady A, she thought cursed herself for not being sneakier. "You want to sneak into Broadway" said Daniel, with a triumphant smile. The two teenagers looked at each other and quickly nodded. "Well, I'm coming with you" the brother replied and got on the bus before they could protest. "Just great" said Noah sarcastically and took a seat behind Daniel.

****

The principal theater and amusement district of New York City, on the West Side of midtown Manhattan centered along the thoroughfare of Broadway.

The entertainment section.

The theater district of Manhattan.

Near Times Square.

These sentences ran through Lily's head as she stepped out of the bus. Being a theater geek meant that her room was filled with all kinds of articles, books and magazines related to one of the most famous places in the world. But no pictures or words could ever fully describe the beauty of seeing it in real life.

There were people running around and everyone was talking at once. The three stared at the busy place and found themselves looking around. Lily bumped into a man and papers went flying. She quickly apologized and helped him up. The man had dark hair and his eyes were covered in shades which looked strangely familiar. "It's fine...I should be apologizing, there's been so much to do these days and-" the stranger stopped ranting and looked at them curiously. "Haven't I met you two before?" he asked, pointing to the siblings. They shrugged in response. The man gave a quick nod to them and ran off again to the streets. "Strange man...now come on...let's go!" Daniel nodded. They made their way to 45th street and slipped through the stage door.

They were at a loss for words as they entered the stage. It was empty and quiet but they could hear a lot of commotion outside the stage. Lily managed to say 'magnificent' without fainting. "This is pretty neat" Daniel said grinning behind the two. The doors opened and the three quickly hid near the seats, alarmed. It was a security guard. "No one and I mean no one has ever gotten in here without my permission" he kept telling himself. He spotted Daniel's sneakers sticking out slightly. "Get up!" he said and roughly pulled Daniel to his feet. "Hi...you seem like a nice person" Daniel told the officer. He was plump and was round in the middle. He also had a toothbrush mustache that Daniel knew Lily would laugh about. "Nice mustache... You know I want to grow one like that too" the Blanc brother continued to ramble as the guard frowned. "OI! YOU TWO!" he yelled. Daniel looked back and saw Lily and Noah trying to get out the back door. "Do you know them?" the guard asked but Daniel was ticked off at his sister. "You were going to LEAVE me with HIM?" he asked, outraged. "No! Noah was going to turn off the lights so you could escape" she defended as Noah slapped his palm against his face.

"Doesn't matter now you trouble makers! Y'all are going to be in big trouble" said the security guard angrily. He couldn't believe that someone got past him. "We didn't know that it was forbidden to come like this" pleaded Lily. "We're trying to solve a mystery...and then Dan came and he thought we were coming here and OUCH" Noah blurted out but Lily stepped on his foot and glared at him. Daniel and the security guard looked at them.

"What is going on in here?"
