Flora, Lilly, Bella and Layton sat in the sitting room, each one doing something different. Lilly was braiding Flora's hair, while Flora was petting Bella, who was lying on Flora's lap and watching Layton tap his finger. Layton was currently explaining their new case to Flora.
"The letter also came with this ring. If Doctor Schroder was correct, this amethyst seems to hold electricity like a RE battery. Really, it's kind of cool."
"But the Tower of the Dragon, what, or where is that?" Lilly asked, her lithe fingers making short work of Flora's hair.
"That's a good question, my dear," Layton responded. "Quite honestly, I have no idea."
"So, the Tower of the Dragon? Are we going to China?" Flora piped up, stroking Bella under the chin. Bella responded with a very loud purr.
The Professor thought for a moment, and then he looked up at Flora. "Flora, I believe you may have just figured out where we're going."
"Where?" The girls replied in unison.
He smiled. "Grab your coats; we're going for a drive."
"This isn't what I meant by China, Dad." Flora told him, holding onto his arm for dear life.
The three looked down into the giant pit in the center of London. The crater, formed by Clive's Metal Monster, held the ruin of "Future London" at the bottom.
"No, but I believe that the Tower of the Dragon is at the bottom of there. Unfortunately, it is currently impossible to get down there."
"How is the Tower down there?" Lilly asked; a look of confusion on her face.
"Look back to the Towering Pagoda. Remember how dragons were a staple of the design? I believe the Towering Pagoda is the Tower of the Dragon from the woman's letter."
"Oh," The girls replied in unison.
"Excuse me, but what are you doing by the edge?" A man's voice asked from behind them.
The three turned around. Behind them were two RAF pilots in flight gear, with their hands on their side-arms.
"Hello, I am Professor Layton, and these are my daughters Flora and Lilly. We seek access to the bottom of the pit. Do you think you could help us sirs?"
The two pilots just looked at each other with an expression that said clearly: "WTHeck?"
The taller pilot looked back at them, and replied: "Unfortunately, that's not possible. This area is restricted to civilians. You three need to leave the area immediately."
"Hmm," the Professor's hand rubbed his chin. "Well girls, we best be going. We don't want to cause any trouble now, do we?"
Flora and Lilly nodded.
"Well, please bugger off. We have work to do here, and we can't do it with you three present."

"They're weren't very nice, were they Professor?" Flora asked, looking to where the pilots were documenting the scene.
"No, they're not at all."
"Hmm?" The three all said at once, looking into the alleyway they were standing near. Inside was a slim girl, no older then fifteen and a half, leaning against a dumpster. She was wearing blue jeans and a red jacket, with white running shoes on her crossed legs. Her blond hair was in a ponytail that rested on her shoulder. Her head was slightly tilted down, which gave her green eyes the illusion of being piercing.
She pushed herself up into a fully standing position. Taking a step forward she smiled. "You're Professor Layton, correct? I've heard a lot about you. Did you get my letter?" Her voice betrayed her American heritage.
"Yes, you are correct in your assumptions. The letter was from you? I certainly expected someone a little older."
"Yes, well, I actually get that a lot. Did you get the 'gifts' I included?" she asked, casting a glance at the other girls.
"Yes, I did. But first, what is your name? I don't believe we've been properly introduced."
The girl looked around quickly. "This isn't the place. Follow me if you want to know more!"
