BRYNIE:

…Doing homework?

ALESS:
N-n-no. These are Karanthir's l-lab results from when he was sick. Racolo 

d-didn't r-recognize some of the d-d-ata so I th-thought I'd help. 

BRYNIE:

Racolo's helping my brother? That's a switch. I thought he hated him, which I can understand since Karanthir can be a big brat sometimes.

ALESS:

Racolo's interested in m-most stuff about vampires. He's t-trying to m-make a spell to k-keep Es awake during the d-d-ay. She has t-to sleep when the sun’s up, you know. If it works, then she’ll b-be able to spend 

m-more time with Lithium.

BRYNIE:

That’d be great. I never thought about the drawbacks to being a vampire. 

I guess Karanthir lucked out – being only half, but don't tell him 

I said that. I hate it that he's a vamp.

ALESS:

R-racolo feels the same way about Es. I think that's why he's 

always so m-m-mad at her. He k-keeps himself busy so he doesn't 

have to think about it, b-but then he g-goes and forgets things.

BRYNIE:

Like what?

ALESS:

He m-misplaced another one of his magic books. This is the s-s-second one. 

The f-first one was full of n-notes on v-vampires. We c-can't find it 

anywhere. And now, his Rune book is m-missing.

BRYNIE:

Grace, what are you doing?

GRACE:

I'm detecting, yes I am. There's a mystery to be solved and I’m 

going to be the one who solves it so I'm looking for clues. 

ALESS:

W-what kind of clues? M-maybe we c-c-can help?

GRACE:

First on my list is a little red book.

ALESS:

A r-r-red book?

ALESS:

Th-that's the vampire b-book I was just t-telling you about.

GRACE:

I was not. I just happened to be passing by, yes I was. And you want 

to know something else? I have a list of suspects to detect about too.

BRYNIE:

Oh yeah? Name one.

GRACE:

I don’t know if I should. Maybe if you promise not to tell? 

Cross your heart and hope to die, stick a needle in your eye.

BRYNIE:

Yeah, yeah - whatever.

GRACE:

OK then, brace yourself cause this will shock you, yes it will. Herita.

ALESS:

G-grace, Racolo and I l-looked everywhere for that b-book. Here and 

at M-magic School. Wh-what makes you think you-re going to find it?

GRACE:

Because I'm going to keep detecting and follow my clues. If they don’t lead me  to the book then I’ll be forced to use my secret weapon, yes I will.

BRYNIE:

Right. So you want us to believe you have a secret weapon.

GRACE:

Well I do Brynie and his name’s Io - and since he's a genie he can do anything, yes he can. So he'll know how to find that book. I'm sure of it. So there!
