Scene: Arkham University Inside private library.

Lead: Rory
Features: Sam Clay

Extras: No one currently

Both boys are in the rare books section. A little envelope falls out of the book Rory holds.

Rory bends down to pick up the envelope and examine its content.

There is a letter inside in Rory's fathers handwriting.

Hello Son, I know you will be needing this to help your friend Zoey.
You will need to perform a ritual the details of which are below.

The ritual is described in the letter and seems to be something that Rory believes he could perform over an hour.

"Hey what's that ?" Sam reads it over Rory's shoulder.

"Your dad ? How did he know Zoey was in trouble ?"

Rory frowned. "I really don't know. Maybe, I should call him to make sure that he was actually the one who left the letter."

"Yeah that's a good idea. Too much messing around with us lately not to look in the Trojan horses mouth.

Rory nodded and laughed, in a 'he has a point' kind of way. He then took out his phone and dialled his dad's number.

It took a few rings but Rory was able to get through, "Hello ?" came his fathers voice.

"Hi dad. Zoey disappeared on us so I went down to the library to work out what happened and I found a letter in your hand-writting about performing a ritual to help Zoey. To be honest, I'm not quite sure what to make of it."

"A letter from me ? I didn't write a letter to you what does it say ?"

Rory read out the note without going into the ritual details.

There are a few moments of silence, "Was it in a book ?"

"Yeah." Rory read out the title of the book.

"Yes Rory, I guess I did write that but it was such a long time ago. Follow the ritual after you described it to me it makes sense."

Rory seemed inquisitive. "What do you mean a long time ago?"

"Decades ago son, I barely remember it. When you mentioned the book title it brought back the memory. I will explain it more later. For now help your friend. That ritual should do it."

"Decades ago, that..." Rory was silent for a moment. "It doesn't matter, as long as you're sure about this I'll trust you."

"One thing you will need is some recordings of whale or dolphin songs since it is Atlantean magic. I don't know where you will find that."

Rory was thoughtful for a moment. "I could try Youtube. They have everything else on there."

Jeremy, "That might work, true I have heard such things about You Tube."

Rory laughed. "I think that I know why this all happened. There was a girl at the pool playing whale and dolphin songs at the time. I'll see if I can get a copy of her music."

"Interesting, if that music is responsible it makes sense it might be used to reverse it."

"Ok, I'll do that. I'll let you know when this is all over. See you latter dad."

"Alright son, take care. I have faith in you."



Sam looks to Rory, "We going to do this ?"

After the call, Rory nodded at Sam. "Yes. Apparently, what happened was partially caused by the music at the pool so we need to call Zoey's swimming rival."

"The music ? I thought it was the book ? Yeah call her."

"I think that it was both. Apparently, the music activated the book."

Rory looked down at his phone and called Amanda.

The camera shows Amanda with her hands out a fire burning up the street.
The sound of her cellpohne ringing.

A hydrant up the road seems to burst and water rushes out and Amanda scrambles to grab her cellphone.

"Hello ?"  the sounds of sirens in the background.

"Hi, it's Rory we met at the swimming pool earlier. I hope that this isn't a bad time to call?"

"Uhmn a little, how can I help you, and yes I remember you."

"Sorry about that." Rory was silent for a moment, possibly thinking up a cover story. "I'm with Sam and we're working on a mix for Zoey. I remembered the dolphin and whale music you were playing at the pool. I was wondering if you could give us a copy? I think that Zoey would really like it."

"You think so ? I am all for that I can make a copy no problem."

"I do. Thank you, I really appreciate it."

"I will bring it to the school tomorrow !" Amanda sounded really happy.

"Do you think that we could get it today? We're running a bit late on it. I would understand if you can't."

"Today ? uhmn ok where could I meet you ? The school is closed now."

"We're currently at the university library. I work there part time. We could meet there?"

"Do you think you could pick me up ? I don't have a car."

Rory looked at Sam for a moment. "I can't leave the library right now but Sam can pick you up."

Sam nods, "Yeah I can do that."

____

Amanda says ok and says she is down town near *She looks around* an ice cream shop.
Giving her location.

Sam nods, "I know where that is at, tell her I will see her soon." Sam is already heading off.

"Sam said that he knows where that is. He should be there in a bit. Thanks again."
