||Chapter 26: Indeed Of A Key||

Ike practically collapsed into the house, out of breath and adjusting his hat from the beating sun.
Bonnie poked her head round,"Dear, there you are! I was worried when you didn't get off the bus when it drove by, why did you walk?", Ike dumped his bag down,"Was waiting for Quentin. . . He never showed face. . . And I missed the bus, thought maybe he had after schools and I forgot. . .", Ike panted, Bonnie handed him a water bottle,"Is there something else you're frustrated about?", "Yeah, actually. . .!", Ike huffed,"Kids keep asking me what it's like to be friends with Theodore, and keep talking about him like he's an alien; 'That Kid', they keep referring to him like that! And especially talked about the family they were, I dunno: Related to Voldermort?! 'That Kid', that was just so-", "Degrading?", Ike paused.
Wait.
Robert was sat with his dad with coffee and tea.
"Trust me Ike, I don't like it too; It does sound degrading and like you're talking down on someone."
Ike nods, Robert smiled,"I like you Ike, your son really has his head on right; You've very much earned my respect.", Cornelius chuckled, he turned to Ike now a little serious,"But, Quentin doesn't have after schools today, does he?", Ike shrugged,"I dunno, he never showed up and I didn't get on the bus so I just assumed, couldn't go back and look for him because school had something on.", Cornelius nods,"Right. . . Well, he better not be getting in trouble again, especially since last week we had a visitor come by with a broken drone.", Ike made a voice before slipping upstairs.

Cornelius sighed,"It has to be an Impulse Disorder for sure, but for the life of me and the doctor we don't know why Quentin isn't about to control himself even with some medicine.", Cornelius looked at Robert suddenly,"He hasn't done anything to you?", Robert chuckled,"No, no; Not to my knowledge: It may be bound to happen and I don't blame seeing as I am a scientist, but if it gets out of hand that quickly, I will let you know but as of now he's just been staring me.", Cornelius nods.
Christ. . .

"So a key is what we need. . ."
"Dad has a lot of keys, but I know he also has back ups especially for the basement and Weather Station; But to get into the Basement we'd need two keys: One for the door and another for the iron gate, even if we get through there is the door behind the bookcase."
Basically, a lot of obstacles in the way.
"Hmm. . . Maybe, if we just get proof of the existence of a secret door, maybe that would be enough."
"But how do we go about this?"
Hmm. . .
"Actually, there is a way we can get it. . . But first, I need to borrow something Otto to ensure we get that key."

Lisa, she loved the help Quentin was giving her, but she also had a very bad feeling about this cause of recently hearing about the cops and his drone.
. . .
Was this a good idea?
