FEAR AT GLENBOGLE. Part 1 BY: MADDIE
Lexie was entering in the office with little Rosy. "Look daddy, I can walk", Lexie said instead of the little girl. Archie looked up from his work and took the little hands over. He threw Rosy a little bit in the air. The child cooed and got a kiss from her father on her hair. "I love you Rosy", Archie said.
"Arch, have you a lot of work to do, or can you take care of her for a while, cause I want to go shopping and Molly isn't at home". "Sure, I can, oh Lexie wait, I must tell you something. I'll have to go to Mexico for a week or ten days. No longer, cause I can't miss you both so long!" "Mexico, what for? " "Can't you remember I told you about the machines I want to buy? Well, it seems there's a company over there who use that machine already and I want to see how it works". "Oh yes, I remember, well if it's necessary you must go of course" "I'll only have to find out where it is. It seems in the middle of now where in a small town."
Some days later Archie left full packed with luggage to Mexico.
Some hours after he was gone the post arrived. There was a strange letter in it. Lexie opened it and a paper felt out. There was put 'Archie McDonald' in letters cut out of a newspaper and pasted on a picture of a grave. Lexie frightened, what was that, someone wanted her husband dead? Was it a joke? Then it was a lugubrious one. She had to call him immediately to warn him. She ran to the phone and tried to reach Archie. "No, he is still on the plane", she thought, "I'll have to wait some hours". Very nervous she tried to do some work, but she couldn't keep her attention to it.
Fear at Glenbogle. Part 2.
Archie landed on a small airfield in Mexico. As it wasn't big it was still very crowded. Someone pushed him. "He, watch out", he said but the man ran away. "Passport, please, anything to declare?" The customhouse officer asked. "Just a moment". Archie wanted to take his passport and saw there was a big torn in his jacket. He realized that he was robbed and probably it was that person who pushed him. "I don't have all day the time", the man before him said. "I've lost my passport, also my purse and my phone I'm missing!" "Oh no, not again one. Okay tell me your name" "I am the Laird of Glenbogle". The man looked at him with a frown on his face "And I am the president of the United States", he replied. "Sorry, the name is Archie MacDonald, Glenbogle House, Kinsgussie, Scotland". "Born?" And so went it on for hours.
After the officer had all the information he wanted he said" All right, I'll sent it all to the embassy in Mexico City. Till someone of them give me an answer, you must stay here." "You're kidding. I have reserved a room in a hotel. And I have to call my wife!" "Sorry, but that are the rules, and it's not allowed to have contact with anyone." Archie was very angry but the man said he had to calm down or he would set him in prison. Archie calmed down, looked very sad and thought at his family.
