Chapter 22: Quick Search
Jake and Rose slammed the doors shut so that the Shades didn't get them. They looked around at the mansion and noticed it seemed pretty normal like the Dark Dragon didn't even stay there. They held hands and walked forward slowly and entered what looked like a kitchen. There were a few dishes in the sink which looked like they were just put in there recently. Jake and Rose looked around to see if Dave and Haley were around. Jake sighed when nothing unusual was seen and went to a set of double doors with Rose. They tried to open the doors but they were locked. They looked through the keyhole to see what looked like stairs on the other side. They went to the other side of the doors to see a picture on the wall of a small child. "It is the same child we saw on the Isle of Draco that one day!" Rose exclaimed. They looked at the picture momentarily and continued down the narrow hallway.
They entered a large living room. It looked like a normal living room but it seemed weird for someone like the Dark Dragon. They knew he despised the human race so they were wondering why it looked like a human's living room. The whole mansion was suspicious to them though and they continued through the living room into a dining room with a single door. They tried to open the door but it was locked. They looked through the keyhole and noticed that it was the same room with the stairs except that the door was just on the opposite side of the double doors. The dining room table looked neat like it was recently picked up. Jake walked to the window and looked out for any sign of Dave, Haley, or the Dark Dragon. When he saw no one, he sighed and turned to Rose. "What are we going to do now?" he asked her.
