"Great, but we have a lot of questions for you. When can we get some answers?" Klaus asked, his hand throbbing where he had punched Esme.

Allegra leaned against the wall. "Sure. Ask away." she said, smiling again. She was maybe sixteen or seventeen, older then Violet.

"First off, why do you have a picture of our parents? Are they your parents too?"

Allegra nodded. "I was born two years before Violet. When I was a year and a half, i was inducted into V.F.D. and brought to live here. Mom and Dad visited me as often as they could. They even brought each of you to meet me when you were babies. Klaus, you were the funniest. You just sat there at and looked up at me like I was an alien. Your glasses made your eyes look huge."

"Hey! And how come we don't remember you?"

"I just said, you came to see me when you were under a year old. By then you were already set down to be in V.F.D. anyway, so it was all right to enter. Why don't we talk in my room? It's a little more private there, and we don't have to worry about others listening in."

"Okay." Klaus followed her to her room.

It was a compfy bedroom/living room combined. Everyone sat down on either a couch of a cushion. Allegra pulled her knees up to her chest. "So. What else did you want to know?"

"Where to begin?" Klaus mused. "Why would our parents get rid of you? You seem like a nice enough girl."

Allegra laughed. "They didn't get rid of me, Klaus. I just cam to live here. Kit and Jacques Snicket seemed to think that something was going to happen at our house." she sighed. "Apparently it did. I was initiated when I was 10 years old. This was about 3 years after the schism. Just last month, I made Captain. I've been following your misadventures since the fire. Did you ever notice a person who mysteriously disappeared into a crowd or a shop?"

Now that he thought about it, Klaus could remember a few times, just a few. "Why didn't you ever point yourself out to us?"

"Because Olaf was trailing you as well. I couldn't make contact at any of those times. He would have seen me, made the connection, and then this place wouldn't be so safe anymore if he decided to have me followed."

"Oh, I see." Klaus shuddered at the mere memory of Olaf.

Allegra noticed the shudder. "But don't worry. We're perfectly safe. No one followed us in except Esme and she's locked up in the detention sector. Would you like to view the interrogation session?"

"Sure," Klaus said.
