CHAPTER 17

'Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock.'

Mr Myrrthe opened the door and was greeted by Agent Gibbs, holding up a paper that was folded.

"Can I help you? " asked Mr Myrrthe completely ignoring the paper in the Agent's hand as he spotted Sarah, Medusa and Billy behind all four agents, with a confused expression on his face.

"We have a warrant to search your house Mr Myrrthe, " said Gibbs professionally, even though he looked angry.

"Please, come in! You didn't have to go to such extreme measures of obtaining a search warrant to search my home!"

"It's protocol, part of regulation and is necessary to uphold the law. For protection purposes to the agency," stated Agent McGee matter-of-factly.

"Oh... agency? Uh, What... why, what is it you're looking for? " asked the principal clearly scared of the fact that agents have to search his house.

"Abducted scientists, Mr Myrrthe," said Agent Bishop.

"Ab- abducted scientists?!" exclaimed the Principal looking at everyone in disbelief.

Medusa caught Bishop nodding in the corner of her eye.

"There's no scientists in this house!" exclaimed the Principal once again.

"Really? That's funny, because multiple witnesses saw you abducting our forensic scientist last night, and brought her here... unconscious. It's not looking good there for you pal!" stated Tony.

He obviously didn't know that the Principal didn't know what he was doing and was being controlled.

"Outrageous! I promise you I did no such thing! There are no abducted scientists here!" said the Principal.

"I don't like people lying to me!" said Tony warningly. "But, if you're so insistent, tell me where you were last night. "

"Gladly! I took a walk outside after I finished supper with Ruby, my wife, you can ask her! Then after that.... I have no idea, but I woke up in bed this morning! Honest!" The principal looked as if he would burst with rage.

"Alright, alright! " said McGee, trying to calm the Principal down. "We believe you sir. Can we still look around though?"

As the Principal nodded his approval, Medusa remembered something.

"Especially the Library!" said Medusa.

Mr Myrrthe led them to the Library and disabled the security system. As soon as the lasers were gone, Medusa ran to the first "pull me" book that she found the previous day.

"Sarah! Come here quick! " she shouted back to the group.

Sarah ran forward and went to Medusa's side.

"Stay here, while I go to the other side. When I count to three, pull this book out. Ok?" asked Medusa.

"Alright, sure," said Sarah as she positioned her hands near the book's spine. Ready to pull it out.

Medusa ran to the opposite wall where she found the second book. Placing her hands in the same way Sarah did, she counted:

"One! Two! ... Are you ready?" Medusa called to Sarah.

Sarah nodded.

"Three!"

On three, both girls pulled out the "pull me" book levers simultaneously.

Suddenly the bookshelf on the far wall across from the entrance wall, moved out of place and revealed a passage.

"What's in there?" asked Agent Gibbs, looking at the Principal.

"I... I... It's were I keep my valuables," stammered the Principal, shocked that Medusa found his secret passage.

"Does those 'valuables' include scientists? " asked Tony, but didn't get an answer when Gibbs interrupted.

"Tony, you stay here with Mr Myrrthe and the children, Bishop and McGee, you're with me. We'll be back soon," said Gibbs as he removed his gun from his holster.

The other two agents following suite.

"Tony, call Ducky, we don't know what we'll find down there," and with that said, the three Agents disappeared into the passage.
