[edit] INSIDE BACK LETTER

William,

The news from the doctor is very bad and there's not much time before I will be leaving this world. The news on the other front is much worse. Our greatest fear is realized.

Gideon left us a terrible legacy, a responsibility to the human race. I pray that the Clue hunt will bring the Cahills together. I pray Amy and Dan will forgive me. Come to me as quickly as you can and bring everything you need to set our plan in motion.

The devil is at the door, and the Cahill family must be strong, united, and ready to answer. We need heroes now, because the villain is upon us.

[edit] Audio Book

<click of a tape recorder><tape hiss>
Grace Cahill: Testing. <feedback> Testing. Testing. Eh hem. Hello Ducklings. <aside> Saladin, get off. I need those papers.
Saladin: Meow.
Grace to Saladin: This house has 34 rooms. There has to be somewhere else you can nap.
Saladin: Meow.
Grace to Saladin: I believe Genevieve left some Red Snapper for you in the kitchen. <page turn>

Grace: Sorry about that, Ducklings. Let's see; where to begin. Well, if you're listening to this, it means that I am dead. Though I suppose that's rather old news to you right now. It's rather strange to think about, actually.

By the time you hear this, you'll know you are Madrigals. You'll know the truth about the ghastly night your parents died. I will have sent you off into danger, with little protection. I wish more than anything there had been another way. [1:00] I am so immensely proud of both of you.

Eh hem. After all you've been through, I'm sure you're both eager to return to normal life. Whether you return to Boston or choose to recuperate elsewhere, there are a few things you should know. I have a house in Madagascar that I'm leaving to both of you. Well, that's a little misleading. It's more of a command center, actually. A home-base of sorts for my various clue hunting activities. As with the Attleboro estate, it links with a sophisticated satellite surveillance network. You can zoom in on most any location on Earth.

I realize this information might have been more useful to you before my will reading, but think of it this way: now you can use the system to watch Jonah Wizard perform almost anywhere in the world. Wouldn't that be a treat. [2:00] The surveillance network is carefully protected, of course. The password is "A handy poem." That anagram should be easy for Dan.

The Madagascar house is also near the private airstrip where I sometimes keep The Flying Lemur. The plane is yours, as well. And I encourage you to begin flying lessons at once. Just remember, Dan, it's not a video game. I don't care what level you've reached in Ninja Pilot 7, you must listen to your instructor. Actually, Amy, it might be a good idea to make sure Dan wears a parachute.

Let's see. What else? Well, there's the bungalow on the beach in Cambodia. I think you'll both enjoy yourselves there. I wish I could have taken you with me, Ducklings, but it's near a former Madrigal stronghold, and I just couldn't risk...<footsteps>
[3:02]
Butler: Madame Cahill, you have a telephone call. It is the Japanese ambassador.

Grace: I'm busy. Please tell him I'll call him back later.

Butler: Oui. Merci, madame.

Grace: Let's see. Where was I? <sigh> There is so much I want to tell you, and just not enough time. William knows most of this, of course. But I wanted the chance to tell you myself. There is a safe deposit box at my Swiss bank, with some special objects I didn't wish to keep in the house. Inside the box are some special items that your parents gave me for safe keeping. They also suspected that something terrible might happen to them, and they wanted you to have something to remember them by.

Amy, there is a necklace that your grandfather gave Hope for her seventh birthday, right before he died. I know she wanted you to have it. <sigh> There has been so much loss in our family.[4:04] So much heartbreak.

Eh hem. And, Dan, there is a watch that belonged to your father. It has some dents in it from a shuriken attack, but I don't think that will bother you.

There is also something from me. A rather old ring. Be sure to keep it safe, at all costs.

I suppose that's all I have time for. I love you both so much. I can't begin to tell you how proud I am of you. I only hope you've been able to forgive me for all the secrets, and the lies. Good-bye, Darlings.
