back to Astel and tell her that when you got here we were just stopping over for a few hours. Tell her that we were honoured by her gesture but that we are leaving for Germany tonight and that we didn’t want her present to go to waste ,” Ragon commanded, his harsh tone snapping Ari from her thoughts.
     
    “Oh no,” said Clyde, racing for the next girl before Ragon could reach her, “I’ve got this one.
     
    “Make sure you don’t leave a mark! And only take a drop; just enough to lull her or Astel will know.”
     
    “Alright, alright,” said Clyde, pulling the second black beauty forwards and searching her body for any obvious bites, albeit a little too enthusiastically. 
     
    After commanding Astel’s sources, Ari and the rest of the coven re-packed their bags and clambered into the antique limousine, yet again. At the same time Ragon phoned Bert, requesting that he meet them back at the airport. Ragon told Bert that he would make it worth his while to get up out of bed, and after promising that the compensation would be outrageous and that he could smoke on the plane, hung up and leaned forwards so as to address Bramond.
     
    “Bramond, as you have no doubt realised, I am trying to keep our presence in England un-noticed. I told some people who I don’t want to know where we are or what we are doing, that we are on our way to Germany. But I can’t very well tell them that and leave you behind. Someone might be sent to check we have left and they are obviously watching the airports. But if you take my plane and go to Germany, they will be none the wiser and you will be kept out of harm’s way.”
     
    “But,” stammered Bramond, “but… wot bout da house? Who is gonna look after it while I is away?”
     
    “Oh, Young Manor will manage without you for a few weeks. Besides, you deserve a holiday.”
     
    “A… a few weeks?” croaked Bramond, clearly not thrilled by the idea.
     
    Ari, who was moved by Ragon’s thoughtfulness, found it odd that Bramond seemed so reluctant to leave.
     
    “Don’t worry, I will make sure you have plenty of spending money,” said Ragon.
     
    “You could buy some new driving gloves,” Clyde suggested, laughing to himself, despite the look of horror on Bramond’s face.
     
    When they arrived at the airport, Bramond left the car sulkily, moving with his single bag towards the terminal as his long jowls quivered in the night breeze.
     
    “Sandra, Thomas, Ryder and Patrick,” said Ragon, recalling their attention from inside the car. “Can you wait with him for the plane? Bert should be here in a few hours. When he gets here, give him this,” he added, handing over another yellow envelope, though this one was much larger than the first. “I need you to find a girl and a boy, anyone will be fine. Lull them and then get them to board the plane also. Make sure you board the plane with them and jump out after it has taken off. Then come find us at the Lancaster Titles Offices. Make sure you aren’t seen.”
     
    “They’re going to jump out of a plane?” asked Ari, looking at Ryder and the rest of the coven sceptically.
     
    “Not from a huge height,” Ragon reassured her. “We need to make sure that Astel believes we have left for Germany. I am hoping that her sources won’t be watching too carefully to notice that you, Clyde and I aren’t there, and only see that seven people arrived and that seven people are leaving. They will be fine,” he added, seeing the still worried look on Ari’s face.
     
    One by one the four of them left the car while Ragon moved to the driver’s seat.
     
    “What are you going to do?” asked Patrick, craning his head through the window and staring at Ragon expectantly.
     
    “We’re going to find the rest of Ari’s family tree at the Lancaster Titles Office. The sooner we do that, the sooner we can leave England and go back to Australia.”  
     
    “And you’re sure you don’t want me or Thomas to come with you?”
