We started walking again through the archives of the Smithsonian and I started to really look at what was down here. Every corner I turned there seemed to be some new creature, or some new people that had once been made of wax, waiting for attention or waiting to be freed.

I saw penguins sliding down the aisles as they would on the ice. They would occasionally stop and look around to see that they still had their group together and then continue. It was actually really cute.

I looked around to the other side and thought I saw Ak, and Teddy. I also thought I heard Rexy too, but I wasn't sure. I stretched my neck as far as it would go to look and see, but my vision was obstructed by not only Capone, but by the many other people and animals that were walking around.

I was then caught off guard when I saw more Civil War people, but they weren't regular people. No, they were the same kind of faceless puppets that we have at the New York museum.

I waved to them with my free hand and I got bows and waves back.

I smiled, maybe chivalry wasn't all dead.

I then tried to see if I could find Ak and Teddy again. I listened intently for their voices, or even the sound of Rexy's footsteps, those could easily be heard from a mile away.

But, I couldn't see or hear them. I wonder if it was just a figment of my imagination, or if I truly saw them. Maybe I could find out.

I thought about attempting to struggle with Capone to try and follow them, but then re-thought all the other times I struggled.

Didn't really work out for me there.

I thought it was foolish to try again, even though it might be my only chance at freedom, and just kept walking with him.

The next living exhibit that really caught my eye was the Wizard of Oz characters. Everyone one of them was there, excluding Dorothy.

She was probably running off with Nick somewhere.

The thought of it made me shiver with disgust.

I saw the Cowardly Lion, the Tin Man, The Scarecrow, and my personal favorite, Toto. I was surprised though when I saw the dog run up to me.

I stopped and was also caught off guard when Capone stopped too, and didn't yell at me for doing so. I looked over and there he was, barking at me, as if telling me to come closer, or to come and get him.

I chuckled, it was just so cute! I always wanted a dog too, and maybe if I could get Ak to use the tablet, we could keep Toto!

I walked over a couple feet and kneeled down so I was at his level. He started to bark and lick me and I laughed.

He was so adorable!

I picked him up and held him. He was just the right size to fit in my arms. I then looked at Capone and asked, "Is it okay if I take him with us? I promise I'll take care of him; he won't bother you and won't interrupt what has to be done. Please?"

I was extremely surprised at how nice I was being to him. Maybe it was time to turn a new leaf with him, maybe actually try to cooperate with him.

Capone looked at me and for the first time I saw him smile. It wasn't a creepy smile or a fake smile, but a genuine smile.

He said, "As long as ya take care of it I don't see what harm could be done." I then squealed, yes like a preppy girl does, and ran to him and hugged him.

Yes, I hugged this man.

I'm pretty sure it was because this was the first time that we weren't at each other throats and he wasn't treating me like property.

Maybe we both grew up a maturity level.

He returned the hug and said, "Ok, we gotta go find that costume room, I still ain't happy with what you're wearin. Too much of your legs are showin and I ain't likin it."

I then followed him and we walked in silence, well Capone did. I was talking to Toto.

Ya I know I probably sound crazy for talking to a dog, but he was just so cute!

Capone then shot me a look which said, "What are you on?!" and with the occasional bark from Toto, we walked the rest of the way in total silence.

I then started to wonder something, why does Capone keep putting this blasted coat on me?!

Is it like a 20's macho thing? Or was he actually trying to keep me warm and make sure I was ok.

I thought about waiting until we got to whatever room he was speaking of but then decided that now would be a better time.

I walked up to him, because I actually got to walk by myself now, and tapped him on the shoulder.

He spun around, probably thinking it was someone that wasn't on that good of terms with him, but then saw it was me.

He relaxed his shoulders and then said, "Whaddya need babe?"

I inwardly rolled my eyes at the way he addressed me, and guess he was still on the "You're my girl" macho thing and said, "Quick question: Why do you keep putting your coat around me? Is it like a macho thing or are you actually trying to keep me warm?"

He laughed a little bit at the question and then finally answered. "Doll, I do it for kinda both reasons. At first I just saw ya as a girl that dress boy gave me to watch over. So I thought 'hey a new gal, maybe she'll be a good one'. I then started to see you're true colors and really started to get annoyed by ya. I still kinda am. I originally put that coat round ya to show everyone that you belonged to me. I still do it for the same reason, but now it also has to do with your safe keepin. As long as you have my coat on, or are with me, none of dress boy's slaves are gonna hurt ya. Plus I figured it'd keep ya warm, ya clothes there don't look like they'd help ya with that."

I was surprised to see this man actually had a heart.

He actually seemed like he was starting to genuinely care for me. It made me smile, and I actually felt safe around this man for once.

Maybe not as safe as I would feel with say Nick or Dad, but I still had some sense of security.

Maybe I painted him wrong entirely.

Maybe he was just misunderstood and really wasn't all that bad.

Well whatever his reasons were for putting his coat on me, I was nice and toasty and it also smelled pretty good.

We kept walking downstairs and eventually got to what appeared to be a small storage room and that was labeled, guess what, COSTUME WAREHOUSE.

I was waiting outside with Toto but was then grabbed by the arm with a good amount of force by Capone and dragged into the room.

It wasn't small at all. On the contrary it was gigantic!

He pulled me through the racks of clothes. I looked around and saw all different era's of clothing here.

From medieval dresses and suits of armor till today's clothes. They had the 70's hippies' outfits, the pioneer clothing, Civil War uniforms, you name it, it was here.

I even found one of George Harrison's suits!

I absolutely loved the Beatles, and George happened to be my favorite. I picked it up and read the tag. I guess this was one of his suits when he came to America on their big tour.

I would have loved to be there, with all the screaming girls. I just think that it would've been the right era for me. But hey, I got stuck here.

Really nothing I could do to change that fact, unless the tablet can magically turn back time now.

I laughed to myself at the absurdity of the idea but then thought, "Hey, I'm being lead around by a supposed to be wax doll and am best friends with museum exhibits. What could be stranger than that?!"

I decided that this was an argument that I should have with myself at another time. I reached out and tried to grab the suit, as more of a memorandum than anything, but was lead away by Capone.

We walked until we got to a section labeled "1920's". We then started looking around. He headed off towards a fairly large section that was labeled "Al Capone and mobsters".

I guess he needed some stuff too, but at least he has his own fricken section!

I couldn't find anything that wasn't flashy or show girl like so I started to look at the suits.

I moved past all the ugly ones and the ones that would make me look like Capone's twin. I looked and looked until I actually found this nice pin-stripe one that would probably fit me.

I picked it off the rack and I then heard from behind me, "Ya know, I brought ya in here so ya could actually look like a girl. Ya know a dress or somethin along those lines. Not any of these suits. I didn't bring ya in here so ya could look like one of my boys. I already have enough of them. Now come on, I want ya to actually look somewhat feminine. Then maybe I'll have somethin I can show off."

He then escorted me over to the dresses.

I'm not gonna lie, some of the dresses here were really cute. But there was one problem, I hated dresses. With a passion.

I looked at him and said, "No way am I wearing a dress. No way. Plus these are way too flashy! Can't I just wear one of the suits? Please? I won't argue with you anymore if you let me."

I then gave him my puppy dog face.

Plus I thought the no arguing deal would have got him for sure! It usually worked on Dad and Nick when I wanted something.

Unfortunately, it didn't work for Al Capone.

He looked at me and said, "Look, ain't no girl of mine gonna be walkin round in a suit and pants. You're wearin a dress, or I'll make ya walk around in just my coat. I don't have any problem with it. And doll, I can deal with your arguin. It's actually somewhat entertainin." He then smirked at me.

I thought we were over this stuff! I huffed and said, "Fine" and then started to walk back towards the dresses.

I heard him say from behind me, "That a girl." I wonder how women actually got along back then!

Really, being treated like you were inferior and that men were all so special.

And I can't imagine what my family went through, being in the mafia and all.

I finally decided on a dress.

It was a flapper dress, seeing as this is all that they had here. But it wasn't as flashy as the rest of them.

It was a little low cut but hey, I could deal with it.

It was black and only went about to my mid calf. I had to say it was beautiful. It had real diamonds sewn into it. How did I know this?

Simple, it said so on the tag.

It was an actual flapper dress too.

I turned around and showed it to Capone. I wasn't asking for his approval, I was wearing it whether he liked it or not.

When I showed him though his eyes about popped out of his head. "Ya picked one of those dresses?! I thought ya were gonna pick a nice one, not one of the flashy show girl ones! Ya ain't wearin that, come one let's find ya a decent dress." He then looked through the racks to try and find one to his liking.

Like I'd wear what he wanted!

I however didn't wait for him to find one; I walked to the other side of the rack and slipped the dress on. To my surprise it was a perfect fit.

I then let my hair out of the pony tail it was currently in. Thank god it wasn't a rat's nest today.

It actually looked pretty nice, it was naturally wavy and the light here made it seem like it was a bright auburn.

I looked around trying to find a mirror and finally found one by doing a 360. I looked and saw not myself, but an adventurous young girl from the 20's.

All I need is a headband.

To my surprise I found a drawer full of them. I picked out a black one with some diamonds (at least that's what the tag on it said) on the band.

It didn't have a feather too so I was a little bit thankful for that.

I then stepped back around the rack and said, "Too late buddy boy, I already put it on."

He then turned around to look at me and his jaw dropped.

He just stared at me; it looked like one of those old time cartoons where the guy is completely love struck at the sight of the girl. I inwardly cringed some and then thought about it for a minute.

He hadn't been that bad lately; maybe we did turn over a new leaf.

Anyways, I laughed and walked over to him, pushing his jaw up so it closed. Toto then ran up to me and I walked over to pick him up.

I picked him up and was then spun around to meet Capone. He then said, "I guess its ok, it's better than that pathetic excuse for a skirt you were wearing earlier. My boys were getting quite the show from you." He then smirked at me again.

I was about to say something, seeing as this had infuriated me, when he then finished his statement. "I got quite a good show too there babe."

That was the last straw. I walked up to him, slapped him good across the cheek and said, "Look there again and you don't wanna know what's gonna happen bucko."

I then took Toto and started to walk off, but didn't get that far away when I was roughly pinned up against a wall again.

I dropped Toto in surprise, and thankfully he landed okay.

He then went over to Capone's ankle and started to bark. I'm taking he didn't like me in this position.

But he was a little dog, and Capone was a 5'10 gangster.

Who do you think would win?

I wondered why I was in this position again and then realized the most possible solution. I guess I ignited his fuse again and this time it was about to blow.

He leaned in, a little too close for comfort and said, in a dangerously low voice even for him, "Doll, I can do anythin I want to ya. I can easily overpower ya, I can catch ya if ya try to run in the blink of an eye, and I also have boys all around this place, ready to bring ya back to me if ya even put one toe outta line. I'd suggest ya start listenin to me and actually tryin to cooperate. It'd make your life a hell of a lot easier. Now we've kept dress boy waitin long enough. Let's go babe."

I was then pulled off of the wall, and set back on the ground. See like I said before, Capone us a good half a foot taller than me so I was pinned up on the wall a good six to seven inches off the ground.

I then started to try and walk the opposite the direction, to see if I could actually try and get away without him noticing.

I actually did something a wee bit sneaky.

When he thought he was grabbing me, he actually grabbed a manikin that I put where I was standing.

I hid behind some racks of clothes to see if he'd actually notice. He then started to get fed up with "dragging me" and then turned to "me" and said, "I told ya to quit draggin ya feet…" he then figured out it wasn't me.

He threw the manikin at the wall, where it broke at some points and then screamed "ROSALIE!"

I couldn't help myself, I laughed. This was the most fun I'd had these past two days and I needed to let it out. I just laughed.

I was then aware that I was seen and the jig was up cause I turned around and saw Capone standing at the end of the aisle I was in. He looked at me and said, "If I were you, I'd start running."

I didn't need to be told twice. I grabbed Toto and broke off into a dead sprint.

I guess that energy bar I ate earlier was finally starting to kick in. I turned and squirmed down every possible path I could find.

I ran past the Civil War stuff, past the sixties gear, and then past the 80's gear.

But I stopped at the 80's clothes, looked at them for a minute, and then said to myself, "I still don't know how people thought they looked good in that stuff."

I then figured it'd be unwise to linger in one spot for too long.

I started to sprint again, maneuvering down the aisles with such grace, it almost seemed unnatural.

Sort of like in Twilight, when Bella describes the vampires as being so graceful it was almost painful to watch.

I kept running and didn't look back. I ran and ran until I finally lost a good amount of my energy. I stopped for a minute to catch my breath.

I looked behind me really quick to make sure that I wasn't being followed. I saw that I wasn't. I was finally home free!

I then looked forward and before I knew it, WHAM! I ran into something, or rather someone. I closed my eyes for just a second, due to the impact of the fall, and then looked for Toto.

He wasn't far away and I scooped him into my arms, making sure he was okay too.

I was yanked off from my crumpled position on the ground by not Capone, but one of his men. I tried to yank my arm back but these guys were just as strong as their boss.

The gangster laughed at me and said, "Nice try toots. The Boss even got a kick outta that, but he still ain't too pleased bout that little trick ya played on him. If I were ya, I'd be a nice as possible to him and not bother arguin with him. It'll do ya some good. I wouldn't wanna see a pretty face like yours get all messed up by the Boss. Also I'd watch out for that little dog of yours. He's kinda cute and I wouldn't want him in the Boss' hands right now, good things would not be happenin if he was. But like I said, wouldn't want a pretty face like yours to get messed up just cause ya won't listen to the Boss. Now if you'll come with me, I gotta take ya upstairs to meet him." Wow, an actual nice gangster, who would've thought?

I let myself be taken by him to where Capone was, which was with the other men up in the main hall of the castle.

I turned to the gangster right before we entered and said, "Thanks, you're the only one who's been actually somewhat nice to me. I just wanted to say thank you for that. What's your name though? Just so I know the name of one of my somewhat 'friends' here."

He laughed and then said, "Frank Costello, at your service doll."

He then did a little bow to me. I returned the bow with a curtsey and also laughed.

We then heard, "COSTELLO! BRING HER TO ME RIGHT NOW!"

I guess someone was getting a little antsy.

I looked at Frank and said, "Well I don't think we should keep him waiting, even though I do love watching him squirm."

Frank chuckled and said, "No your right, it wouldn't be too wise for ya to do that. Come on, I'll make sure ya get in with the Boss okay."

I was then lead into the main room and saw Ivan, Napoleon, Kahmunrah and Capone assembled around a table.

Frank then said, "Umm Boss? I got her for ya."

He then pushed me forward and I stumbled a little bit. My upper arms were then grabbed with an impressive force and brought to meet their owner, none other than Mr. Capone himself.

I then looked up and attempted to lighten the mood by sayin, "Hey there, fancy seeing you here!"

Capone wasn't amused though. He looked at me, with an intense amount of rage, anger, and maybe hurt, in his eyes and said, "Doll now ain't the time. Ya pushed my buttons for the last time. From now on, ya ain't leavin my side. If ya have to go somewhere, either I'll go or one of the boys will. Ya won't be out of our sight. Ya crossed me the wrong way for the last time. Now you've got what's comin to ya babe. You've got your wish, spendin every moment with me." He then smirked at me.

I then realized how stupid I was trying to get away from him every time. Now I've really got myself into a deep hole, and I don't know if I'll be able to make it out okay.

I found one positive thing though; at least I had Toto to keep me company through this adventure.

He wouldn't turn on me or man handle me like Capone did, he really didn't have the capacity to.

I was then led over to where the other guys were standing and I heard Kahmunrah say to them, "Gentlemen, tonight is the night that we recruit more for our cause. Now, who has any problems with us starting right now?"

I raised my hand, but for obvious reasons, I was ignored. Kahmunrah then continued, "No one. Good, now let's get a move on men. Even though we have all the time in the world, our friends and maybe soon to be allies do not. Now, let's start."

Great, now he's getting more people to join him. Who in the world would join this crazy man? I mean, there can't be a lot of people that would want to go along with this quack.

But boy was I wrong.

There were a lot of quacks out there as I would soon find out.
