That weekend, after everyone on the good side of the endowed was informed about Annett and Gary being weird (not endowed), they went to find the Rushing residence.

"Oh, it's somewhere on Darkly Wind (wynd? Not sure, don't want to look in a book right now), number 23, I do believe." Paton had told Charlie.

"Darkly Wind?" Tancred gulped. How could the two live on such a horrible street? It was the same street that Charlie's retched aunts lived on.

"Let's go." Olivia persisted. She looked like she had ants in her pants by the way she was jumping around. "I just want to make sure their home lives are okay. Those two seem… a little out of sorts." She admitted, even though she would also admit she had a crush on Gary and didn't like calling him strange.

The group agreed and hurried over to Darkly Wind and down the street, past the three thirteen's, and finally stopped at twenty-three.

"Here it is." Tancred gulped. "This is the biggest, darkest house I've ever seen."

Inside, they could hear two voices and they were clearly Annett and Gary.

"Quite Gary, or he'll catch us." Annett told her brother.

"Fine, fine." Gary mumbled and opened the door. "What are you guys doing here?" He asked them.

"Just passing through." Olivia lied.

The two stepped out onto the porch and closed the door.

"You're just passing through a street like this. Where were you headed? The road of no return?" Gary wondered.

"Fine, we came to see you guys." Olivia sighed with defeat. She couldn't lie to this boy.

"Well," Annett said and checked over her shoulder. "Our father's asleep right now, so you should leave. He'll be awake soon."

"What kind of man is your father?" Tancred boomed, "If he won't let you talk to friends and do something."

There was a creaking somewhere deep within the house.

"You've done it now, Tancred Torsson. All you guys have done it. He's going to find you. Your lives are going to turn miserable. He's and extreme scientist with a lot of connections, we can do this kind of thing." Annett said.

"Children, who are those people. You know the rules, no friends over!" A man shouted. He came into view and all the children would agree he looked absolutely insane. "You people get off my lawn. This is private property. You will pay for trespassing." The man warned.

All the children scurried off, leaving the twins to face their father. "And you two will have the worst of it all for violating my rules." Tancred heard.


When the kids were safe, Tancred told them about what he had heard. "He's a cruel man. We should report him to child services." He added.

"Yah. I think it's closed right now, so we will go tomorrow." Lysander agreed.

All the kids agreed and nodded and walked off in their separate directions, not expecting the crazy mans warning to come into affect so soon.
