Agatha nearly dropped her broom when the door bell rang three times in quick succession. Then she jumped into a flurry of activity. She started to run toward the door, then stopped, spun around in indecision for a moment, and ran toward the back room.

"AUNT AGNES! AUNT AGGIE!" she hollered. "The alarm went off!"

"We heard, dearie!" came Agnes' voice from a few feet past the back room door. 

"Go on and watch," Aggie added, walking into the main shop area. "We'll watch the shop."

Agatha grinned and jumped on her broom. She zipped up through the hole into the living area and into her room. She skidded to a stop by her bed and grabbed her phone. She dialed as fast as her knobby fingers could manage. She didn't wait for pleasantries; as soon as the line connected, she blurted out, "CARMILLA! Something really funny is about to happen around Jack's house! I don't know if I have time to explain. Just get down there, fast!"

With that, she hung up and was gone with a [i]woosh[/i].

Lillith stared at the phone blankly for a moment, then looked over at Carmilla, who was practicing some vocal exercises. "So... I guess Agatha's excited about something. She just said to get down to Jack's house, and hung up. She didn't even check which of us answered, first."

Carmilla finished the exercise completely before replying. "Well, then. Sounds like I should practice while I walk. You coming?"

"I have to meet up with Lock first, then I will probably swing by to check it out. And I recommend you fly. She sounded like she was in a rush."
