Where in the World is Willard Kraft? Part 13

"Salem, where have you been?" Hilda said as the cat came in clutching a piece of paper in his teeth.

"The flea wanted to visit Zelda," the cat grumbled as he hopped onto the table and dropped the paper in front of Hilda. "Here. Zelda told me to give this to you." "'Last will and testament'?" Hilda said as she read the paper and a look of shook filled her face. "Salem, what's wrong with Zelda? What did those horrible people do to her? I've seen prison movies! I know what happens in places like that! If they've hurt my sister...."

"I don't know what's wrong with her. She was muttering something about the plague or a heart attack when I left. Goodnight," Salem muttered as he closed his eyes and promptly fell asleep.

"Worthless cat," Hilda said as she glared at him for a minute before turning and hurrying upstairs. "Sabrina! Come on! We have to go and get Zelda out of jail tonight!"

"Do I have to go, Aunt Hilda?" Sabrina said as she came out of her room. She had ran home right after school and locked herself in her room. She didn't plan on coming out ever again. "I don't want to be seen in public anymore."

"Sabrina, forget about being embarrassed! We have to get Zelda before it's too late! Come on! I need help carrying all of this money to the car!"

"We're here to bail out Zelda Spellman," Hilda said as she staggered into the front office of the jail carrying large sack full of money. Sabrina was right behind her with the rest of it.

"We don't release prisoners this late. You'll have to come back in the morning," the officer said and then returned to reading his paper.

"What? My sister isn't well and you expect me to just leave her here?!" Hilda cried as she stormed over to him. "I have begged every single member of my family, even the ones that I'm not speaking to, for money to save her! I begged my ex-fiance who dumped me at the altar for money! I have the money! Now go and get my sister!!"

"Yes, ma'am!" the guard said as he quickly backed away and headed for the cells. He suddenly remembered that it might not be a good idea to upset the sister of a murderer.
