Chapter 10: Planning the Next Move
Isis spent the next couple of days doing her summer work and watching Lily, who went by the name of Hathor, eating grass again. Remus told her not to worry; all children ate something that they thought was good.
"I hope she grows out of it," Isis told him.
"I'm sure she will," Remus said, "Oh Teddy returned from whatever he was doing and he wants to talk to you."
"Great, I have something that I need to tell him," Isis said and a few moments later Teddy appeared.
"I couldn't find-."
"Don't worry about that," Isis said, "I've found a very important clue and the reason that Charlie was down there."
She told him what had happened and the letter. Teddy stared at her.
"What are you going to do?" he asked.
"What are we going to do," Isis corrected, "We're going to get to that case and then see if we can find the catch."
"Do you think that we'll find something important?" Teddy wondered.
"Charlie thought so," Isis said, "And that's all that I need to know."
"But what if he was wrong?" Teddy asked her.
"I highly doubt that he was," Isis said, "I mean, he really believed that he found it and a picture of the case has the catch clearly shown."
"Can I come to," Lily asked.
"Hathor, no," Isis told her and Lily pouted.
"And why not?" she asked.
"Because our dad would kill me," Isis told her.
"But I won't be in the way," Lily told her. "Please."
Isis really hated it when she begged. "Fine, but don't get into anything. We don't have the money to replace it if you happen to break it."
Lily jumped up and down for joy and the three of them left.
When they arrived at the museum the guard, who knew them, let them pass. Lily kept close to Isis so that she wouldn't break her word about not getting into anything. Isis used her senses to locate the case and thankfully no one was around it.
"Teddy and Hathor I want you to watch the door," Isis told them. "I'll give you a piece of candy, Hathor, if you help Uncle Teddy."
"Okay," Lily said and then Isis went looking around the case for the catch.
She checked the photo and sure enough she found the part that he had taken the photo of. She used her magic to locate the catch and was just about to get to it when Lily screamed, Teddy yelled, and Isis looked up just in-time to see a riffle pointed at her face. The other end was Charlie's wife, Cathy.
"Thanks for finding it, deary," she said, her tone cold, "Now open it up like a good little wench."
Isis was shocked.
