"Lucky boy?" Count Olaf laughed as Violet's eyes widened in shock. "Join your friends and I."

"Violet?" Klaus asked as they began searching for things so they could rescue the Quagmires in the elevator.

"Yeah, Klaus?" Violet answered, not really paying full attention to what he was saying, too busy with trying to find items to invent what she needed to.

"Do you remember what broke me out of my trance? You know, the hypnotism one," Klaus asked nervously, wringing his hands together.

"Hmm... wait, what?" Violet exclaimed in shock, dropping everything she was holding. "The hypnotism? No, no, no!" she hurried to pick up all he stuff she dropped and, silently deciding it was enough, ran to the elevator to begin putting it all together.

"What? What is it?" Klaus inquired, knowing what the answer was going to be, but begging for it not to be what he thought it was.

"I don't remember, Klaus," Violet whispered, looking down. "I'm sorry. But - why?"

"I don't know. I have a bad feeling, Violet. It has something to do with the hypnotism, though. I'm certain of it," Klaus voiced his worries aloud. He had to trust these feelings. If he didn't, disastrous things were certain to happen.

"Count Olaf thinks that we know the word to get you out of the trance. He won't use it if he thinks we know it, so you'll be fine. There's nothing to worry about!" Violet whispered, making sure there was nobody near them.

"The Quagmires!" Sunny interrupted, babbling like usual. Klaus and Violet understood her perfectly, Violet hurrying her movements and Klaus following the instructions Violet gave him.

Soon enough, the hot air balloon had been built and the Baudelaires were gently floating downwards to where they were certain the Quagmires were.

"Duncan!" Violet called out.

"Isadora!" Klaus yelled.

"Quagmires!" Sunny shouted, although, of course, the Quagmires wouldn't have understood what she was saying.

"Isadora!" Klaus called again, losing hope as he began to see the bottom of the elevator beneath them.

"I see them! They're there!" Violet suddenly exclaimed, pointing to a cage below them. "Duncan!"

"We found you!" said Klaus, happily smiling at them. Even as he did that, he had a twisted feeling in his gut. He hesitantly turned around, to come face to face with Count Olaf.

"Count Olaf!" Violet exclaimed, her eyes widening in shock. "What're you - I thought you were with - what's going on?"

"Well, I decided that I was a rather lucky boy, and that I should come back and check on the twins - and I'm glad I did!" Count Olaf exclaimed, smirking as he said those two words that the Baudelaires hated with their every being.

Klaus's gaze became obedient, as though he'd listen to every word anyone told him.

"That's clever of you, sir," he said, in a monotone voice.

"Thank you, lucky boy," Count Olaf grinned manically.

Duncan and Isadora stared at Klaus, wondering what was going on with him. "By the way, we're triplets," Duncan added out of habit, too busy with worrying about his friend.

"Lucky boy?" Count Olaf looked to Klaus. The boy turned to face him obediently, as though he didn't know that he was the very man who had tried to steal his fortune many times. "Would you like to move out of the way so I can have your friends back?"

"Of course, sir," Klaus agreed, moving instantaneously without a second thought. In fact, he hadn't even known he was stood in front of the Quagmires protectively!

Count Olaf opened the cage and the two triplets immediately tried to run out. Unluckily for them, Count Olaf has already whispered to Klaus to grab Isadora whilst he grabbed Duncan, and they were soon captured once again, being held from the scruff of their necks by Count Olaf.

"Lucky boy!" Violet yelled suddenly, wondering if this would work. "Snap out of it!"

Klaus took a step back and shook his head. "Snap out of what, sir?"

"I-I'm not a sir! I'm your sister!" Violet exclaimed, heartbroken that she hadn't memorised the word that would break him out of the trance.

"Of course you are, sir," Klaus nodded solemnly. "I'm sorry, sir."

"Lucky boy!" Count Olaf snapped. "Don't listen to those two! Only listen to me."

"Of course, sir," Klaus nodded.

Count Olaf took them out of the elevator (Violet simply couldn't remember how, she was too busy berating herself about her sudden loss of memory) and piled the Quagmires in a van. Surprisingly, Esme Squalor was there too.

"Surprise!" she said. "Being evil is so in."

Violet stared at her incredulously. "How could you do this?" she whispered. "How could you turn your backs on us? You're our guardian!"

"I suppose that being evil has always been in, and I just never acknowledged it. Besides, I already knew my dear old Count, and that's when I decided I'd much prefer to be rich than have filthy orphans living in my home."

"But - Esme!" Violet struggled to think of anymore words. She stared as Esme took Sunny from her. She stared as Klaus looked on, emotionlessly. She stared as the Quagmires desperately looked to her as to what to do next. She stared at her hands when she found out she had no plan. She stared at Count Olaf when he laughed. And laughed. And laughed.

"Lucky boy?" Count Olaf suddenly said, stopping the laughter. "Why don't you get into the van with your friends."

"Yes, sir," Klaus said, getting into the van with no hesitation.

"I'm coming too." Violet left no room for argument. Her baby sister and younger brother were there, she should be there as well. To look after them, for her parents.

After all, she had promised to keep them safe. And although they weren't the safest, she had vowed to keep them by her side. And that's what counts.
