A letter from Harry to Cara |
Cara, By the time you read this, the protective wards I placed will have worn off. You have a bright future ahead of you, if you follow the directions within this letter. If you don't, well, I can't protect you. This letter should have been delivered to you by a pair of chipmunks, or at least one of them. This may sound absurd, but you need to follow them. They will lead you to some friends of mine who can keep you safe until I return. Or barring the unforeseen, teach you what I would have. Before he died, your father asked me to watch over you. I have done that faithfully all these years, to the best of my abilities. Though you grew up not knowing your father, you inherited some of his 'gifts.' I will not write down these gifts, should this letter fall into the hands of those who would seek you harm, but they will be revealed to you as soon as possible now that you're of age. I implore you, make all due haste to Fifth and Lexington. There is a green door in the alley that leads below the Italian restaurant. Either Kaylee or Kylee will open the lock for you, so make sure one of them is with you. The second floor below the Italian restaurant you will find an old asian couple. They won't speak any English, but tell them Harold Haribald Humperhill sent you, and they will lead you the rest of the way. Godspeed my dear. Your favorite customer, Harry P.S. If you see any men wearing black suits over silk red shirts, run. Run for your life, and don't look back. They will kill you. Or worse. P.P.S. Kaylee and Kylee are the chipmunks. Kylee wears the green bow. Be sure to give them each a wafer. They rather like the strawberry ones that dear old Mabel puts on her pies. |
