4. The secrets in the manor

One month has gone and Charles was no way near to find the tablets. He had spoken with his disappointed boss Mr. Johnson about the mission, but he couldn't go home before he had found them. Charles where now in Obed's office working with the mission ha had. Abruptly came Obed in through the door in a very rush. Hide this on a place that no one can find it, said Obed! Why, answered Charles? Just do it, said Obed and ran through another door opposite the first door he came from! After that came Alan through the first door. Have you seen Obed, asked he Charles? No I haven't, is it something wrong? Oh no, I just wandered where he was, said he while he looked down to the right. He was lying. Then Alan went back and through the first door. Charles took up the thing he had got and it was, one of the tablets. Later that day stood Charles at the main hall on the 2nd floor, looking at some paintings. Then came Obed behind Charles. That's ours fathers since the 1800 century, said Obed to him. So, one of this are your father, asked Charles? Was, it's the man to the left, Howard Morton, past away last year. Oh, I'm sorry. You didn't know, said he. It's dinner about an hour, don't forget, he said and walked away. I won't, he answered him with a smile. So Howard is going to be the "reborn" father, he thought for himself. He had to find out what that mean. He went to a lonely room there he could call his boss. I have found one of the tablets, said Charles! Finally, what about the two others? I don't know now where it could be, maybe not on this island. Don't be silly, I will send you a boat to get you on Monday, it's that okay, Mr. Johnson asked? That will be just fine, he said with a really happy face. He then put the phone down and walked to the mirror in the same room. He stood really near the mirror to look after freckles and at the same time, he got his shirt caught in the mirror. He didn't want to break his new shirt, so he tried to lift the mirror up to take his shirt of, but instead was it pulled out like a door. A secret room behind a mirror? He had to look after, to see what it was behind it.

While he was walking down the stairs in the dark, so took he up a flashlight he had in his pocket. He pointed it forwards and saw all of a sudden a monster that disappeared directly. What was that, said he nervous? He kept on moving down the stairs tills he came to a locked door. He looked through the spy hole that the door had and could there see Alan with a dead corps. He gave the dead body a green injection that he had done in an experiment. Charles got scared and ran back, up the stairs and through the mirror. I will never go back there, that's for sure, he said!

Today it's Saturday, two days from to be out of this island. He had just eaten breakfast with the family, except Lucy, who still was sick. Charles then went to the main hall, 1st floor, to just check it out. He stood and looked on a statue that was just like one of the fathers on the paintings upstairs. When he looked from the side of it, could he see two words behind the statue through the mirror that was there. It stood "HM". One the statues front site was it a combination there you should write in two words. Charles writ in "HM" and then a noise came from the 2nd floor. He went upstairs to see what the noise came from and it was one of the paintings. Howard Morton's painting had gone "open" and behind it was it a key, a bronze key. On the key was a word graved in and there stood it "O desk 1st". What did that mean?

He understands it was to a desk on the first floor, but what did "O" mean? He had to find out that before he went away from the island. Before he walked downstairs, saw he a map over the house and on the map was it a place marked with an "O". The O meat Obed's office. He went there directly and was hoping that Obed or anyone else wasn't there.

When he was there he opened the door slowly, but it wasn't necessary because no one where here. Charles went to the desk and opened it with the bronze key he had found. In the desk lied a diary and a map over the manor. The map contained all the secret doors in the residence. The whole house was full with secrets, like a ghost house, except this was scarier. What was it that the Morton family hide from him? Something illegal? This mission had gone much more complicated then it where from the beginning. This house will always be a mystery and a memory for Charles, always.
