Fabian's car pulled up in front of Anubis House. He had flown to Egypt to visit his uncle Ade, so he was tired from the long ride home. He had brought several things back with him. You never know what might be needed this year in case another mystery happens to follow him and the rest of Sibuna.
He knew he was the first here, judging by all the dust on the porch, and he highly doubted that Victor had stayed here over the summer, let alone bother to sweep. Ugh. Victor.
He sat down on the porch and pulled out all the stuff in his backpack. Calendars, charts, books, toothpaste. He found a nearby water fountain and started brushing his teeth. A sudden gust of wind knocked him over and he spilled the toothpaste. He looked in his backpack for a napkin. Where was it?
His finger brushed against something cold and metal. He immediately stopped. He had only brought things made of wood or plastic, nothing metal. "No," he told himself. " I'm not gonna look.". He wiped the toothpaste off his shirt and finished brushing his teeth.
Everyone started to show up. As usual, Amber and Alfie were arguing. Jerome had a new look on his face, and Fabian definetly didn't want to know why. Finally, he saw the last car pull up. He knew exactly who was in it. Nina. He ran up to the car, opened the door, and immediately hugged her as tight as he could. Except it wasn't Nina.
