It's morning at the Bed & Bar in Kenya. Everyone is getting packed and ready to go home. But a telegram arrives from England.
Dr. Jekyll, Tom, Allan, and Skinner are sitting at the fire drinking coffee; accept for Skinner who is having an Irish coffee. They have been discussing the weather and the people of Kenya. Of course they are both a bit harder to understand completely. Captain Nemo returns from his (even bigger than before) automobiles that are parked outside.
"All we need now is Mrs. Harker's things and we'll be ready to go." Said Capt. Nemo
"Wonderful. I can't wait to get back to England." Said Dr. Jekyll
"'Ello Mina. Have a good night?" asked the misleading voice of Skinner
Mrs. Mina Harker was standing at the end of the hallway holding two large handbags.
"Good enough Mr. Skinner." Said Mina
"May I take your bags for you Mina?" asked Dr. Jekyll
Mina looked at Dr. Jekyll. He saw an expression he had seen on Mina's face once before. Her mouth was a straight except for a very small curve upwards on the left hand side.
"Thank you Doctor." Said Mina with a hint of gratefulness
Dr. Jekyll took the bags gently out of Mrs. Harker's hands and proceeded to walk out the door with them but was stopped when Nemo's new first mate spoke up.
"Captain Nemo, sir."
"Yes Kesad, what is it?" said Nemo
"I have a telegram that just came in.," said Kesad
Kesad handed over the telegram. But Nemo soon handed it to Allan who read aloud.
"WAR IS BREWING. STOP. THE ENEMY PLUS OTHER TERRORISTS GROUPS ARE FORMING NETWORKS. STOP. OUR HANDS ARE FULL AND THERE IS A SPECIAL MATTER IN THAT THE LEAGUE'S EXPRETEES ARE NEEDED. STOP. PLEASE COME IMMEDIATELY. STOP."
Looking up from the telegram with a grin on his face Allan said "Well it looks like we're going back to England."
I have been trying to sort out my stories this is chapter number 3. Chapter 1 was Back to Life, the second Allan's Return, now third is Her Majesty Calls. Sorry about the mix up.
