" So let me get this straight. You want me to carry out this deal? You have to be joking." I paused.
" I've never met the guy!" I said and threw my hands in the air.
" Well it doesn't matter. We're counting on you Chris. Now go." Then the line went dead.
" Ughhhh." I said and picked up the book I was reading before I was interrupted. Then there was a small knock at the door.
" What is it?" I called
" It's miss Sasha." My butler called.
" Let her in." I said and she opened the door.
" What can I owe the-"
" Gabe and Rebecca are missing! I need you to do a search spell or locate them or something!"
" Is the car gone?"
" Yes."
" They didn't tell anyone they were leaving?"
" No."
" Have you tried calling them?"
" Rebecca's phones at the house. And Gabe's is going straight to voice mail." She said and walked over to a book case.
" Seems to me like they want to be left alone."
" Well they can't be! It's to dangerous out there."
" Sasha, Gabe can handle himself. So can Rebecca."
" Yeah but-"
" Sasha, they might have some errand to run. Just be patient." I said. She glared at me then stormed off. I sighed.
" Sasha! Come back I'll do it but they are fine I tell you." I said. And she walked back through the door. I walked to the book shelf she was standing in front of before. I pulled the book at the far end. The book shelf moved out. And then to the left. Exposing the secret passage.
" Woah." She said peering down the hall. I grabbed a match from the box in my pocket. I lit it and held it up to the torch. It lit. I pulled the torch off the wall.
" Let's go." I said and started walking. It took 10 minutes to reach the bottom.
" What is this place?"
" It's my spell room. My friend CJ lives down here. But he is on a job. I know a few spells so don't freak out."
" Okay. Thank you." Sasha said.
" No problem." I said as we entered CJ's room.
" Well then. Looks like CJ needs to fix his room when he gets back. Bodies laying everywhere is not attractive. I still don't know how he's dating ." I said shaking my head. Sasha laughed and walked in past me.
" Well where is that spell book?" She asked walking over to CJ's book case.
" It's over here actually." I said and walked over to his table and lifted it up. The cover was maroon with gold on the bind. There was lettering in gold but it was in Latin. Sasha smiled and walked over.
" Let's get started shall we?" She asked and I started walking back up the stairs. We reached the top and I closed the door behind us. I sat the book on my desk and she took the opposite side of the desk. She was leaning over the book. Her hand reached out to touch it.
" Don't do that." I said as her fingers where just inches from the cover.
" Why?" She asked giving me a puzzled look.
" Cause you'll be teleported outside and then won't be able to get back in. Plus it will turn you into a rat." I said and she jumped back. I started laughing.
" Not funny Chris. You know if you didn't want me to touch it then just say so." I finally stopped laughing and said
" Oh I wasn't kidding. You will be turned into a rat. And a force field will be projected so you can't get back in." I said and she rolled her eyes.
" Then why'd you laugh?"
" Cause you reminded me of Rebecca a few years ago when I watched Mark change her macaroni and cheese to maggots and cheese." I said laughing as Sasha's face changed into utter horror.
" Oh my god. That's not funny!"
" It was when Rebecca threw it on him and he screamed like a little girl and wet himself." I said and held my hand over the spell book. The cover flipped open. The pages began to turn one by one.
" Ah. Here it is." I said just as my door was blown open. I took cover as the door flew over head.
" It's been a long time Chris. Almost 100 years to the day you imprisoned me. But now I'm free and I'm back for my revenge." I reached up and grabbed the spell book. I kept turning the pages until I found the spell. Sasha was beside me.
" How are we going to make it?" She asked.
" Like this." I said and grabbed her. I started speaking Latin and we teleported to Rebecca's house. Sasha looked around.
" Well. Looks like I can get you to work from here after all." She said and stood up. I rolled my eyes.
" I am not going to be a door to door cater with my friends. Not even my boss or clients get that." I said and followed her up to the house.
" Well if you did then your mortal enemy from 100 years ago wouldn't know where you live and you could be home right now eating popcorn while watching movies." She said and opened the door.
" I don't think even then I would get a break." I said as we entered the house.
