Uh, Birdie, I know you're like nine or something. I'm ten. We have the same birthday, remember? Point is, what is this room and what does it have to do with Cyrus? It's the fake content house control room. Look, kid, I know all the haunted house tricks are, like, super neat and everything, but is this really the time? Do I have to figure out... everything? Now you sound like

Grandpa Bad Guy showed me this place and the workspace and even his crazy lab. But he always insisted that I wasn't allowed to go through those doors over there. Okay. What could possibly be back there? that I can't see if I've already seen All the secrets. Oh, a place to lock up geeky big brothers that are about to uncover something super duper secret. Birdie, I take back everything I ever said about you being a dopey, annoying kid.

When did you say that? All is forgiven. Even if Cyrus isn't behind those doors, maybe there's something back there that will lead us to him. Okay, great. One problem Birdie, birdie, birdie. Have you learned nothing about me? I am a lockpicking savant. I don't know what a savant is, but it sounds like it could be helpful. It means I'm a ninja. Oh, I like ninjas.

Is it just me or do we make a pretty jammin' team? The jammingest. Now, hand me that pen. Let's find your brother and get out of this crazy house. Okay, the ankle is definitely re-sprained and I think I breathed in my body weight and dust in that vent. Hermione, are you okay? That's dirty. Uh... Hang on, Hermione. Let me find you an outlet. Oh, good. Behind these boxes. There you go, Hermione. Drink up. Looks like we're in some kind of storage wonder what's in this box

Written by Dr. Whittier. Well, bioengineering to address the hunger crisis. Virus mutations. Gen A serum. Hermione, this notebook is about how he made wit kits. This is how Casey was born. Hermione, if these are all of Whittier's notes on everything he's ever thought of, one of these notebooks might tell us exactly where Holiday came from!

Grandpa, why did you lock the door? I think that's Hubby trying to get in. Need I remind you that Magnus could be out there? Fontenras may be a lot of things, but it isn't fireproof. This workroom and my Keep me safe from Whittier Corp? From everything. I finally have you back, Holiday, and I won't risk losing you. You left me once, and I never want that to happen again. Well, it might have to, Grandpa. What do you mean?

If you were serious about helping my parents get new identities and jobs in London, I'd be going with them, right? Oh, of course. I mean, unless you didn't want to go to London, you could always stay with me. Here. Oh, I... In fact, why don't you? This was your home. It could be again. There you go, Holiday. Some nice chips and a cold soda. Oh, thanks. Uh, actually, I'm okay for now. It's orange.

Oh dear, don't tell me I got your favorite soda wrong. No, you're right. But you know, if you're planning on keeping me here forever, you should probably make a list of all my favorite foods. Keeping you here forever? You make it It sounded like I'd hold you against your will. I just thought it would be nice to spend some time together, reconnect. But my family would be in London. And we could visit them as often as you like. I don't know. Take your time.

I understand that not too long ago I seemed like a complete stranger to you. I have to remind myself that as well as I know you, you're just getting to know me. True. I guess. The Anders never treated me like I wasn't theirs. They're everything I could ever want in a family. But it's hard not to wonder how I got to them. If my other family would... was out there looking for me like I was looking for them. I was.

you, it felt like my prayers were answered. Oh, Holiday, it makes me so happy to hear you say that. But I've started to have other questions. What kind of questions? I feel like... like you're keeping something from me. I'm sorry you feel that way. I tend to be guarded. All these years of hiding out, I don't always know how to act around you. You see, before

Before you were part of the Anders family, you were mine. Yours? You're my granddaughter, Holiday. And losing you was the hardest thing I've ever gone through. Like losing your mother all over again. I'm sorry if I hurt you like that. All is forgiven now that you're home. I am curious though.

Where are all these questions coming from? Why so suspicious all of a sudden? I'm worried about Cyrus. We all are. I just pray James and Monica find him and bring him home. You really think that they can get him back from Angelica? there are no lengths we wouldn't go to. Ah. Now then, would you mind passing me that remote task behind you. Holiday. Holiday at the remote. Your eyes closed. Holiday! Oh. Sorry. Sure, Grandpa. Hey, by the way, how old was...

I'm sorry, what? My mom? Your daughter? How old was she when we crashed? She was... I'm not sure. Doesn't seem like something you forget. Forgive me, my memory is not what it once was. The crash was about twelve years 12? But you said I was on the plane. So it must have been after that. Of course.

reports never mentioned me or my mom being on the plane how did you i just read some of the articles that's what i was doing just now when my eyes were closed i also know that adelaide is in a crypt in a nearby And that she died when she was 11. It says so on her headstone. Holiday! You were lying, weren't you? Since the minute we got here. And I'm trying to figure out why. You made up the story about Magnus taking...

Cyrus, you burned your own arm to cover your tracks. You've got Cyrus somewhere, don't you? I... Please. Please. Grandpa, tell me why you lied. Tell me what... what you want from me. And please, please tell me where my brother is. Is he okay? Oh...Hotterday. The last thing I would ever want to do is cause you pain. I didn't realise how hurt you were. I'm going to fix all of this, starting right now. Here's a tissue. I'll explain everything. I just need to adjust something on my laptop.

I only want what is best for you. I promise it will... Really? How? Hold on. I don't feel right. Grandpa? Thank you. Ah, my dear sweet girl, I've got you. Just a little sleep and all will be well.
