Chapter 9 Miss Appointments

At 10:00 am Hornet, Riccio and Prosper stood outside a large house.

"That's the Casa Spavento" Hornet said pointing to the large house.

"Not many ways in that are hidden" Riccio stated

"Where is Scipio and Abby" Prosper asked

"Don't know maybe they got held up somewhere" Hornet replied looking at Prosper, who turned away with red cheeks.

Abby and Scipio where sitting in the lesson room. Signor Williams turned up unannounced and Dottor agreed an extra day of lesson was good for the two teens. Abby glanced at the clock 9:45. They needed to meet the gang in fifteen minutes. Signor Williams was talking about something they had studied before with another tutor. Nothing their teacher said was sinking in.

How do we get out of here, Abby wrote on a piece paper and passed it to Scipio.

We just have to wait for the lesson to be over. Scipio passed the note back to her.

After what felt like an eternity Signor Williams said "That's all for today"

He collected his material, left the room and exited the house. The house was eerily quiet, Dottor had important business out of the house all day and was not going to be back until later.

Abby glanced at the clock. It was 4:30 pm. A day long of tutorial and she remember nothing about it. Maybe there was a hour break for lunch, but she couldn't remember. The sun was starting to set.

"They are going to wonder where we were" Abby told Scipio as they walked into one of the living rooms.

Scipio and Abby took off their shoes as they sat on a white couch while one of the maids brought them some tea and cookies.

"Abby remember we haven't shown up before, they will get over it " Scipio said as he stretched out on the couch.

"Don't look so down, we will do the Conte's job and not have to worry about this anymore" Scipio nudge Abby with his foot.

The door opened. Abby and Scipio heard Dottor's voice.

"Guess he is home early." Abby frowned as she stood in the doorway of the living room looking out to the hallway

Scipio got up and went over to her. He hugged her and kissed her.

"It will be over soon" He said as he lead her back to the couch. He grabbed the tv remote and hit the power button. The big black screen above the fireplace flashed to life.

"We have a while until practice" Scipio said as Abby nestled her head into his shoulder.

Then there was a knock on the door.
