Her blond hair was streaked with red highlights -very subtle for a stealth mission. She was dressed in clothes like mine except she wore combat boots.
I mean, seriously-who brings their own tunes to a museum break-in? She was undoing the locks on the dome while humming along to something on her iPod. My sister, Sadie, didn’t seem bothered by the cold. Magicians are supposed to wear linen because it doesn’t interfere with magic, which is probably a great tradition in the Egyptian desert, where it’s hardly ever cold and rainy.
An orchestra played, but with the wind howling in my ears and my teeth chattering, I couldn’t hear the music. Inside, forty feet below, hundreds of people in tuxedos and evening gowns mingled and danced in a ballroom the size of an airplane hangar. Instead, the glass dome glowed with light. It was well after dark, and the museum was supposed to be closed. Our exit strategy wasn’t looking too good. The first thing we did was send our trainees Jaz and Walt to open the side window, while Khufu, Sadie, and I examined the big glass dome in the middle of the roof, which was supposed to be our exit strategy.
Oh, and a baboon, also dressed like a ninja. But I guess we did look suspicious: four kids in black ninja clothes on the roof of the museum. We would have returned the artifact eventually. The job was supposed to be simple: sneak into the Brooklyn Museum, borrow a particular Egyptian artifact, and leave without getting caught. All the magicians in the world have to come together. As for the snake, that wasn’t our fault either. You’re going to hear a lot of people talking trash about us, but we didn’t cause those deaths.
The point of this recording is to let you know what’s really happening and how things went wrong. But personally, I think you should be scared. I should back up, calm down, and start at the beginning.įine. She says I’m going to scare you too much. If you didn’t listen to our first recording, well…pleased to meet you: the Egyptian gods are running around loose in the modern world a bunch of magicians called the House of Life is trying to stop them everyone hates Sadie and me and a big snake is about to swallow the sun and destroy the world. I need to tell this story quickly, or we’re all going to die. Look, we don’t have time for long introductions.
