Emma and Steph knew that Beatrice had been given a second chance in life. If they had have listened to their sister just once then maybe they wouldn't be in this automobile with an evil and greedy man. They knew that he had walked into a hotel and had retrieved their bowl but Beatrice had the bowl. They just couldn't match all of the pieces together. Emma took out a yellow note pad and wrote a few things down about the hotel and the exact time he had been in the hotel. They were in the city driving down a long street in the centre of the city and the children wondered if the car would ever stop. Suddenly it turned left down a little alley-way and the car parked outside of a very clean house with nice windows and a nice view. He let the children out of the car and led them to his house.
"I am not a greedy man" he told the children "I am a member of a society named VFD, and this bowl that your parents had belongs to VFD, they stole it, we merely took it back." The children didn't for one minute believe that this kid-napper was a nice man, even if his house suggested so. "What about our parents?" Steph asked in anger. The man smiled "VFD do not tolerate thieves, they will get any thing they own back by any means" The man stared at the children as though he was lecturing them. A phrase which here means 'telling them something important and making an effort to make sure they remember it.' of course this was a lie, VFD didn't kill people at all to get what was theirs, they merely took the thieves children for a ransom. But the deed the evil man had done today was soon to be discovered by VFD and then there would be great uproar.
The children walked into the man's house and sat down at a large pine table in the front room. The man was on his phone talking to someone who the children didn't recognise. The children took advantage of this situation and both took out their notepads. They both wrote 'VFD' in large letters on a whole page each. The man walked into the room with two new looking coats and put each of the girls into a coat. Then he led them to his car and sat them down again. "We are going to VFD" he told the children then took something out of his bag. "This" he pointed to a tray of white looking cotton "is powder-puff" he took a wool ball and smeared it in the white cream "I want you two to put some on in case we see a certain man known as Jacques Snicket" He handed them the tray and went back to driving. Emma took out her yellow pad again and wrote 'place?' next to where it said VFD in her note pad and she also wrote the name Jacques Snicket.
The man turned around and smiled at them "I am 20, my name is Olaf and I am a senior officer of VFD. There are 3 of us; me, Jacques Snicket and a man with a beard and no hair, never call him by his real name and stay away from him at all costs, he can be very deceiving" Olaf pointed out and went back to driving "Mr. Olaf?" Steph asked and he turned around "Are there any children in VFD?" Olaf thought for a moment as though he didn't know much about VFD "Yes, there is Snicket's little brother, he is called Lemony, and I do believe he has a twin sister called K, I don't know her real name, and please call me Count Olaf" Steph nodded and then put the powder-puff all over her face.
The children recognised where the automobile had stopped and realised that they were back to the hotel that they had seen Count Olaf walk into earlier. They got out of the car and walked into a building with the words "The world is quite here" engraved into the wall. The children looked all around and saw a room shaped like a large eye. Emma gazed at her sister and they both looked at the floor where a small circle was carved into the floor. It looked just like the pupil on one's eye. Emma thought. They saw the eye pop up and looked at their sister whose head had just popped up. Olaf grabbed the children with so much force that they turned around so they couldn't see Beatrice immediately. Olaf walked into a little alcove with them and told them that they could never see there sister again. "Unless she is referred to VFD by another member then she will never find out" he paused for a long time "Or something bad will happen and we don't want that do we...." The children agreed and slumped down in there chairs. A small chubby man with ginger hair walked through the door and took the children. Olaf looked at them and whispered "See you soon" and they were whisked into another room by the chubby man who then said as though to himself "Let the tattoo ceremony begin."
