Return to 'London' (An E.A.H/Madness returns fanfic)

Ch.6 Jack

The Wonderlandians dined with Nan as they ate the foods she made.

"These are really good crumpets Nan" Maddie said as she ate her crumpet.

"Yeah, and this fish taste amazing" Kitty said.

"Why thank you Karen" Nan said to Kitty.

Kitty slapped her forehead for Nan not getting her name right again.

"So Nan" Alistair said "I thought this place burned down".

"Oh it did before" Nan said "But after Alice saved Wonderland, this place went back to how it was before, I don't know how, but it did".

"Wait" Alistair said "If this place was fixed, doesn't that mean my mother's old house is fixed?"

"Hmm, I'm not sure, I haven't been there in a while".

"I think we should check it out" Alistair said to the gang.

"But isn't it in Oxford?" Bunny asked.

"Well, Nan, how far is London to Oxford?" Alistair asked.

"About an hour and a haft depending how you get there".

"Oh" he said disappointed.

Just then there was a knock at the door. Nan went to look out to window and gasped.

"It's Dr. Bumby!" she whispered.

"Nan Sharpe" they heard Bumby say "I need to talk to you".

"Quickly" she said as she pulled a carpet away revealing a secret door "Down here" she opened the door and the gang went down the stairs underground.

"Nan?" Dr. Bumby called.

"Hold on!" Nan called back as she closed the door, put the carpet over it and opened the door to Dr. Bumby.

"What do you want?" she asked annoyed.

The Wonderlandians listened to their conversation.

"I was wondering if you've seen any teens in odd clothes around" he asked.

"Teens in odd clothes?" Nan said "Nope".

"You sure?" he asked.

"I'm sure" she lied.

"Are you sure you haven't seen this young man here?" he showed her Alistair's I.D.

"Sorry, haven't seen him".

She was about to close the door when Dr. Bumby stopped it with his foot.

"Perhaps I should look around" he said as she shoved her out of the way and walked in.

"Uh excuse me!" Nan frowned "But I didn't invite you in!"

But he just ignored her and he looked around. He then stepped on top of the secret door, the gang almost gasped but remained quiet. Bumby then noticed the plates on the table filled with food.

"Why are these plates still filled with food?" he asked.

"I had some guests over" Nan said still lying "But they left".

"I see" he said, a bit unsure "All right, I should be going now".

"You should" Nan said as she opened the door and he walked out.

She closed the door and made sure he was really gone, she then removed the carpet and opened the door.

"He's gone" she said as they all climbed out.

"That was close" Tony said.

"So he is looking for us" Alistair concluded.

"So what do we do now?" Lizzie asked.
