Chapter Nine
Y/n's P.O.V.
For about a week, Quigley and I spent most of our time in the reptile room learning about the secrets about a secret organization called V.F.D. Quigley and I were confused on what was the meaning. As we were about to flip to the next page, a newspaper landed on top of the book. "Oh my god, Isadora and Duncan have been kidnapped!" Quigley exclaimed. He showed me the headline and sure enough, it said...
Duncan and Isadora kidnapped from Prufrock Prep!
I could tell Quigley was happy that his siblings had survived the fire that destroyed his home, but he was also scared that they had been kidnapped, so was I. We continued reading the article and we found out that had been kidnapped by an actor by the name of Count Olaf. "Quigley, what are we gonna do?" I asked worried that he was going to lose him composure. But, he just took a deep breath and kept his cool.
If I found out that my siblings had been kidnapped by this Count Olaf, I would definitely lose it and possibly break something, not because I'm a violent person but because of all the rage I would have against their captor. But, because my entire family was dead, I didn't have to worry about that happening. "We need to get on a trolley and try to find them," he said breaking the ominous silence between us.
"But how are we going to find them? It doesn't say where they could possibly be," I asked. Quigley shook his head and pointed at one of the sentences on the page. "It says that they were last seen at Prufrock Prep so, we should start there," he said. "But, we both presumed to be dead so we can't just walk out in public and not expect to get noticed," I pointed out.
A look of realization spread across Quigley's face and I knew that he hadn't thought about that. "Okay, first of all, we need to come up with new names, I'll be Samuel Meyer and what about you?" He asked. It took a long time for me to think of a new name, but after a while I decided to go with the name Alyssa Maxwell.
"Alright, we need to leave now, if we want to catch the next trolley," he said grabbing the large black book and the newspaper. I hoped that we would be able to find Duncan and Isadora, but how were we going to explain to them how we escaped the blaze?
