Harry got out of his car .He could see that Roxette was carrying a bag.This meant it was loaded with money.
She got into her car and started towards Ptolemy ' s mansion.

She parked her car and swinging the bag on her shoulder rang the bell.
An unusually short man answered the door.He bowed as she walked in.
Harry decided to explore the surroundings first before entering.
He could see several rose climbers growing on the outside of the tower.
They were pink and seemed to glow in the dark.
He went to one of the French windows and peeped inside.He could see an elderly gentleman,and Roxette having an argument.Tied to the chair was a young lady whom he had never seen.She kept shouting but the other two were oblivious of it.Harry decided to retreat as it surely wasn't
Annette who was tied to the chair.
He was about to retrace his steps when he felt something hit his head.
Rupert stood as he saw the body of Harry crash on the floor.He was always jealous of Harry because he lacked the poise that Harry had.He had become so precious to Roxette.He hauled the unconscious body of Harry into the car behind the vehicle and started the car putting it into the second gear as it started downwards.
Rupert knocked on the door and Tod let him in.
" What are you doing here my dear?" He asked Roxette.
" I could ask you the same," she replied.
