Once again Lena woke up in the now familiar room. She went downstairs and found Jaguar still sleeping in the armchair. She was hungry so she rummaged through the closet and found a few pieces of chocolate.
Then she went over to Jonas and started poking him in the shoulder several times.
"Hey, Luv. Wake up."
"Is something wrong?"
"No. I just want to wake you up."
Jonas yawned wildly and showed his silver teeth. He opened his eyes for a moment, looked around for a few seconds and closed them again.
"You ate all the chocolate, didn't you?"
She stared at him with eyes wide open.
"How did you notice that? I don't have a chocolate stain on my face."
"You seem upset. Since I don't have any coffee, it must be the sugar. And since I can't see crumbs of cake or candy wrappers, it must be the chocolate. Elementary."
"Okay, Sherlock Jaguar. What's on today?"
"First, we're going to London to get ourselves prepared. Then tonight we'll go to the gala in Kensington, unseen, and squeeze Anton Moore."
"Sounds like an exciting plan." Lena admitted.
Lena and Jonas dressed, stepped out of the cabin and walked down the hill. After a few minutes they came to a car parked by the side of the road.
"It takes several hours from here to London."
"Not for us," Jaguar said, putting his ring on his finger and creating a portal. They drove through it and found themselves in the middle of London.
"Nice," Lena said.
"Damn."
"What's wrong?"
"My ring is empty and it takes several days for it to recharge."
"I see. Where did you actually get it?"
"I stole it. From Talon."
"Wow. Hey, can you give me a ride home so I can get my charger for my accelerator?"
After they got the device, they drove on towards to East End.Jaguar stopped at a somewhat remote, large house.
They got out and entered the house. Lena looked around excitedly and whistled.
"Wow. Not bad."
"Yes. As a pirate, I've...uh....uh.... built up a considerable fortune."
"Uh-huh. I see." she said with a sly grin.
"Did I mention that the house has a pool?"
"Really?" she said happily.
Lena ran up and down the house the whole time, checking every room. Then she found a shelf in a room at the end of the hall with a little wooden box.
Inquisitive as she was, she opened the box. Inside the box was a strangely shaped amulet with a chain.
"What is it? A talisman? Did he steal that from Talon too?" she asked herself.
She examined the amulet more closely. Then she touched a circular spot.
Then a pleasant but slightly hotter and exhausted female voice sounded from the amulet.
"Heh... heh... Hello... Um... I don't know how to say this. So... my name is Irene and I'm your mother. The bastards kidnapped me and locked me up. And now they're forcing me to carry you to term.
