Alistair glared at Headmaster Grimm. He had made himself at home.
"What do you want?" Alistair hissed at him.
"Your mother, or rather that idiot has gone to Oz. But, she isn't prepared for that," he stated.
Alistair growled. He ran out again and to the Mad Hatter's Tea  Shop and Hat Shop. He didn't want hear that about his mother. Alistair knocked on the door. Usually, once a week, he closed the shop to clean up. Hatter opened the door.
"Hello!" Hatter said, quickly Alistair inside, and locking the door. He could tell Hatter hadn't cleaned that day.
"Where is your mother?" he quickly asked.
"In Oz! That's all I know!" Alistair exclaimed.
"Thank you Alistair......"
"Welcome sir, but why did you ask about her?"
"I'm worried, and the others refuse to say anything,"
"Why?"
"Nothing. Forget I said that." he said, the words basically running out of his mouth. He was confused as Hatter started to clean. Alistair snuck to the back of the shop, where he knew Hatter kept his cook books. He started to look through them.
After a while, and after finding nothing useful, other than the recipe to different desserts and teas, a note fell out of the cook book. Alistair looked at the cover of the Cook Book. 'Don't Look Inside!' was hastily scribbed across the front. Alistair quickly stuffed it in his man-purse and picked up the note.
