Your little friend is with me; he came a little too close to something very private. If you want your little friend back you will have to play a little game. I have a few items scattered across the globe and I want you to get them, if you fail only one your little friend will die. Your first instruction is to go to the mask shop, 3 blocks from the Opera House; my first package is there. The next instruction will be given to you there.
Farewell love
Allen.
PS you may wonder why I just don't pick these things up myself? Because your friend knows what all of these things are for, and I cant risk him telling you and the 4 of you ruining my plans."
Angela finished reading the letter Collin had given her, and she was furious. Her eyes were now a deep gray and she was gripping the note with anger.
"How dare he" she hissed and threw the note away.
"Ange calm down," Charlie said, using him sisters baby nickname, to see if it would calm her down. In truth, both Collin and Charlie were afraid, you think Charlie is scary angry try Angela. Erik was not afraid but worried, she might do something dumb. He walked over to her and he just stood in front of her, he placed one hand gently on her face. He began to stroke her cheek gently, he gave her a quick kiss on her forehead.
"Everything's going to be just fine" Erik whispered in her ear. Collin and Charlie were just waiting for their sister to hit him, but she didn't which was rather amazing. She pulled away and walked out of the lair.
"That went suprisingly well," Collin said after a while of silence. Erik gave him a sarcastic look and Collin smiled.
"Apparently, my sister didn't tell you everything did she?" Charlie said evilly.
"What are you talking about?" Erik said, demanding to know what they were talking about.
"My sister, isn't as weak as she seems, she is right now beating herself up for it" Collin said.
"She had to have told you about the Pirate job right?" Charlie mocked, and Erik hesitantly shook his head.
"Well she is still a pirate, just in hiding. She got into big trouble with her crew" Charlie chuckled.
"That's how she got caught," Collin said.
"She said something about being on a merchant ship and being falsely accused of theft" Erik said.
"Merchant ship my ass" Charlie said.
"She came into Paris port with another friend, and unfortunately the French Commodore caught them" Collin said. "Then only reason they didn't kill her was because she was all bloody and wounded from being shot about 3 times and he took pity on her".
"My sister had such unbelievable luck, you would not believe it" Charlie said." we better got find her". They all walked out of the lair; and it didn't take them long to find her. She had her trench coat and hat back on, with her guns and swords strapped to her waist.
"Anyone coming?" she asked the three.
"Where?" Erik asked.
"To Rome, that's where the 2nd clue said" she told them.
"Wait you got the clue from the mask shop?" Collin asked.
"Yea, it said go to the book shop on Via Veneto street in Rome, Italy" Angela said.
"What was the package?" they all asked.
"A black mask" she smiled. "So anyone coming?" Collin and Charlie both stood next to there sister, and looked at Erik. This would be the first time he would have left the Opera House in a long time. Angela smiled, grabbed his arm and pulled him along.
"There is no way you are staying here," she said. He stopped and held her tightly agents him so she couldn't move.
"And what makes you think I just wont keep you here with me" he said.
"One I will murder you in your sleep for not helping me find James and second, that would be like putting a wild crow in a cage" she said. Erik smiled, let her go and they all quickly ran out of the Opera House, cautious not to let anyone see them accept Madam Giry.
I might make a sequel to this pitiful piece of crap I wrote, and the sequel will be better.
