"We came after them anyway" said Dr Jones thoughtfully, "I think thats a good idea".

So they sat down and tried to work out a plan.

"Okay then, lets get going", said Ben urgently, 'Hopefully the butler won't be discovered until morning, which will be good for us".

They all crept up the stairs carefully. Ben was first, Dr Jones second, Mary third and Jake came up from the rear.

At the top of the stairs Ben listened for any noise, it was quite. Ben slowly turned the door knob.

He opened the door a small amount and peeked out into the hallway, he couldn't see anyone so he opened the door and they stepped out into the hall, Jake closed the door behind them.

"Okay Jake which room do you think is Dirk and Sheza's"? asked Ben.

"It will be upstairs, c'mon follow me" and he snuck down the hall to the big main room, he thought "At least we don't have to worry about the butler catching us". Jake peeked in the doorway but nobody was in sight so he raced over the marble floor to the bottom of the stairs and started creeping up them with the others following close behind.

Once they were on the second floor Jake led them down the hall to a large door and said "This is it, it was Dads room and it has a huge four poster bed inside, and all the trimmings, its the nicest room in the house. I remember Dirk when he was a kid saying that he would love to have a room just like it, this was the room he loved." whispered Jake.

Jake stood before the door while the others got ready bringing out their weapons. Jake noticed that a key was in the door so he reached for it and turned it and he felt it unlock, he thought to himself "They wouldn't have locked themselves in the room, this is strange".

Jake turned the door handle slowly while the others waited, they were all tense and ready for action. They had all gotten weapons from Mary's bag, Ben has the sharp scissors, Dr Jones had the file, Mary had the crooked six inch nail and Jake had a rock of all things, magic from Mary's backpack which she was still wearing.

Ben was very nervous he was finally going to meet the brother who had ruined his life, kept him from his only surviving parent, his father. Ben felt the tension building up inside him, he had waited a long time for this moment. He hoped that he wouldn't make any mistakes.

Mary was thinking about all the events that had brought them to this moment, the moment that she and her brothers would come face to face with Dirk to have it all out, the most solid thought in her mind was that she was not going to fail no matter what happened when the door was opened.

Jake was wondering why the door had been locked, but he was still aware that Sheza may have been locked in the room by an angry Dirk, or maybe she locked Dirk in there. Chances are though nobody was in the room and that's what they would find.

Dr Jones was ready as he would ever be to help these young children bring justice to the family name.

Dr Jones felt a strong need to protect these children and help them succeed in their quest, this was about honest and integrity and it was about to happen when that door swung open and they all rushed in to finish this once and for all. He was sweating from the tension in the air, he could hear his heart pounding in his chest

Jake felt the door giveaway and they all pushed on it and leapt into the room.

They expected the room to be empty or to see Jake and Sheza asleep in bed, anything but what they found.

What they saw was not what they expected, in fact it was totally unexpected.

For there sitting in a chair looking at them with a very surprised look on his face was an old man, he was tall and had snowy white hair. He stared at Jake and then to the twins and tears appeared in his eyes.

Jake stared while Dr Jones slowely closed the door.

Jake said, "Daddy, oh my gosh Dad you are alive" and he ran to his father and his father stood up and they embraced.

"Jake my boy, I never, ever thought that I would ever see you again" said Mr Worthington, he looked over Jake shoulder and said "Tell me Jake is that, is, is it... the..., is it Ben and Mary, the twins".

Jake pulled away from his father and said "Yes Dad", Mary and Ben" he introduced them "This is your father".  Mr Worthington held out his hands and Ben and Mary with tears in their eyes walked to him and they all embraced.

Dr Jones stood alone and full of joy at the miracle that was unfolding before his very eyes, tears streamed down his face. Tears of joy.

Jake said "What happened you are supposed to be dead"?
