The Mysterious Cabinet Chap. 3

Printer-friendly version

Rick lets Officer Wolfhart led her to a special worker from the city. The woman that Robyn took Rick too, was part of a new department. The department was setup to help people who have been exposed to the Blue Lace Drug and its derivative a new street drug called Venus.

Sasha watches as her daughter walks away with Rick. She now needed to find out who the magician was that changed Rick Jones and what that cabinet was. She waves goodbye to the people she knew and leave SWAT headquarters.

The first place Sasha heads to, is a booking agent she knew. Her family has been using this booking agent ever since her mother was in the business. It takes Sasha about twenty minutes to drive to the persons office. As she pulls into the parking lot, she remembers the last time she came here in person. It was when Bunni wanted to become a stage magician like her.

Just as Sasha gets out of her car. There is an explosion and a person comes flying out of the third story office window and lands on the car next to hers. She turns to look at the person and saw it was the booking agent she came to see. She pulls her cellphone out and dial 911.

When the police and fire department arrive. She gives her account of what happened. It turned out that the person she was coming to see, was the booking agent she knew. There was also his partner who wasn’t at the office.

The fire chief knew who Sasha was and ask her politely not to get in the way. Sasha just smiles and gets back in her car and leaves. Luckily, she had driven her jeep, instead of her corvette.

By the time she arrives back to her and Susan’s place. Her wife had dinner already prepared for them.

“What did Robyn want?” Susan looks at Sasha.

“She and her partner, found a person who had been changed by magic” Sasha pours herself a glass of wine.

Susan gives Sasha a puzzled look. She never thought magic was real.

“Come again?” Susan pours herself a glass of wine.

“Robyn and her partner, found someone that was changed by magic. I know it’s a little bit weird, but magic is real. It’s just not commonly known or used.” Sasha takes a sip of her wine.

“Let me get this right. Magic is real and there are people who actually perform it?” Susan knew Sasha believed in a lot of things, but never that magic was real.

“Yep, but its normally kept quiet. The reason for that is, we don’t what happened during the Salem Witch trails and the Spanish Inquisition to happen again. What people don’t know is, that the Vatican has a secret department within it that goes after people who perform true magic.”

“That’s terrible.” Susan wasn’t religious, but felt that people should be able to believe in whatever they wanted.

“So, what did you learn from the person?”

“Not much, just a vague description of how it was done. When I went to speak with Steve Langford to see if maybe he might know of someone performing under the radar. Someone blew him out of his office window.” Sasha takes another sip from her wine glass.

“Man, that’s terrible. I liked Steve.” Susan remembered meeting him when her and Sasha started dating.

“I know. Now, I have another mystery on my hands. Who would want to murder, Steve?” Sasha has a feeling that this case was getting more and more stranger.

Sasha sits down with her wife and eat dinner. After dinner, she helps Susan put away what leftovers they had.

“I’m going to go and do some research, sweetie.”

“That’s fine. Gracie is supposed to call me in a little while. I’ll give her your love.” Susan hugs her wife.

“Thanks.” Sasha walks into her home office and private library.

She and Susan both had their own home offices. It was a place for them to retreat to for privacy and conduct business. She walks over to her bookshelf and remove several books from the third shelf. She takes a key from its hidden spot and insert it into a concealed hole. She twists it once to the right and slightly pull it out and turn it the left.

There’s a clicking noise as the concealed panel in the wall opens. She reaches inside and pull a handle down and the wall behind the bookshelf opens. A light flicker on as it lights up the hidden area. Sasha moves a few old looking books around, until she locates the huge leather-bound book she was looking for.

She pulls the book out and closes everything back up. She puts the books she moved back into the order she removed them. She walks back over to her desk and set the book on her desk. She grabs a pair of latex gloves from a box in the right-hand side desk drawer and put them on.

“Now, let’s see if that cabinet is in this book.” Sasha starts flipping through the book.
