Having his hair turn white without his knowledge, he raised an eyebrow at their sudden reactions to him. This was just so wierd.
"Thats it," he said turning and walking towards the door. "I'm sick of waiting. I'll find them and drag them back if I have to."
Now starting to calm down, his hair quickly returned to its black spikey state but the outline of the star on his back turned slightly to the right and stopped. He stopped just before exiting the room and looked back at the two and the broken CD player then smiled an evil smile.
"I'm sure they'd like to know how you two broke that CD player with all your fighting."

"what are you talking about?" Sandy stood up and walked over to her brother.

The smile disappeared from his face after hearing that question. They didnt figure out that he'd lie to their parents to get them in trouble?
"Oh forget it.." he said while pressing his palm against the wall beside the door.A blue light could be seen emanating from under his hand which spread into concentric circles, extending about ten inches from the center. The bright blue circles soon faded and after his palm was lifted, there remained small but ragged letters forming the words "Chrowley's were here".
With that image left behind, he stepped out and stood outside where Ben was exercising and looked up.
"Great. Now where do I start?"

"wh-what the hell?" Sandy froze as she looked at the letters.
"how did you do that?" Ben moved and asked him, trusting the guy even less.

"Your joking right?" he asked, turning to look at Ben. "Thats the most basic skill I know. Didnt you learn that?"
Before they could answer, he stomped his feet on the ground and turned around in anger.
"Thats just not fair!! They started you off higher than they did me!!"

"what are you talking about? who did what?" Ben asked confused.
Sandy walked over to the letters and looked at them curiously.
"Sandy!" Ben looked at her, "Stay away from that, you don't know what it is."
She listened to her brother for once and took a step away.

Andy's anger turned to a smile once again as he laughed at how the two treated his writings.
"You two crack me up," he said with a smile. "Theres nothing dangerous about that, its just like writing with ink. Now about your parents...did they leave any kind of message as to where they were going?"

"...no..." Sandy shook her head and walked over to Ben.
"they just said they had business to attend to, and that they'd at most be gone a week." Ben explained.
"but we figured something must have come up and that's why they've been gone longer than planned." Sandy shrugged.

"d**n!" Andy exclaimed to himself then slammed his fist into his palm. Now he really wished that he was more advanced, he would be able to use some kind of locator spell rather than doing old fashioned detective work.
"Is there some place they spent a lot of time?" he asked turning to Sandy. "Maybe I can find something there."

"um... they spent most of their time in the basement... but that's locked. We're not allowed down there, and they didn't want us snooping, so they locked it."

"Basement. Got it."
Without asking permission, he walked past Ben and then past Sandy then searched the house till he found the basement door. It was locked as they said.
"Piece of cake," he said under his breath while cracking his knuckles.
He held both palms infront of him and focussed hard on the lock. His hair quickly changed to white again and the lock on the door started to shake a little. The shaking intensified then stopped suddenly as he fell out of breath, he was still too weak.
"Screw that!" he exclaimed and delivered a swift kick to the object, knocking the entire bolt off the door. "Well," he said blinking at his achievement. "That was easy."
Carefully, he descended the stairs in the dark then tripped and rolled the rest of the way down only to land on his back.
"UGH!" he grunted and pulled himself up with the help of a nearby table.
The room was dark, too dark to see much so he held his left arm out before him and a green light formed in his palm which he used as a flashlight. His eyes jumped from corner to corner of the small room. Multiple small tables, covered with books and apers were seen scattered about and a month's worth of dust had collected on them all.
Within the room were only three wooden chairs and the usual heating pipes but this didnt seem like a practise area at all. It appeared to be more of a research room. Looking at a table before him he recognised one of the books as one of those he saught and quickly grabbed it and opened it.
"I see..." he said, closing the book and smiling to himself. "I dont understand a word of it."
His attention turned back towards the entrance and a chilling feeling crept over him. Something about this was just not right. He always knew Mrs. Chrowley to be meticulously clean and Mr. Crwoly always had the books neatly arranged for easy access like a library. Whatever was the case here, it caused them to leave in a hurry.
"Better hear what those two have to say."
He waited patiently within the darkness for the duo's arrival, hoping to learn a bit more.

Ben followed after the guy first, who really needs to tell them his name... and Sandy afterwards.
The first thing Sandy looked for was a light switch or something, a little freaked by the green light the guy had.
She didn't find a light switch, but she found some candles and lit them with a pack of matches nearby.
"whoa..." Ben started looking at stuff.
"look at all this... I didn't know mom and dad had stuff like this." Sandy picked up stuff, looking at things.
"what is this stuff?" Ben asked her.
"I was hoping you knew..." she chuckled.

"You guys cant read this?" he asked and closed his left palm thus putting out the light. "I was hoping you would be able to since I can barely even see it."
He walked randomly around the room, looking at the papers and books scattered all over and stopped at a map. He turned towards the table and brushed the dust away to get a closer look but even the map could barely be seen.
"Could one of you come over here and tell me what this is?"

"it's a map." they both said at the same time, it was obvious what it was.
Ben and Sandy walked over to him, and looked at the map.
"and why would we be able to read this stuff?" Ben asked.

"Well...," he began, "that would be because magic uses genetics and a ton of other stuff. If your their kids, you might be able to do some of the stuff they can."
He pointed town to the map and then waved his arm around the room.
"That might include being able to make some kind of sense of these freaky looking hyroglyphs."
Andy chuckled to himself and turned away from the two. He couldnt believe that he was lecturing his teachers' children about magic. Talk about Irony.
