"The only thing I can answer is that my mom told me about it a few years ago, and that it's a series of tunnels underneath New York, with numerous entrances. I don't really know about the rest, sorry."

"Your mom knows about this?" Catie asked. "I don't suppose you know how she found it?" Jackie shook her head. "Well, I guess we're going to explore," said Catie with a sigh. "Do you want ot come?"

"Um, I really have to go home, or my mom will freak, and um, I suggest you don't, because you can seriously get lost. Do you mind if I like use your phone, or something?? My mom can pick me up."

"She's picking me up, so you can talk to her then." she told them, as she told her mom where she was, what happened, etc. She was mad, but agreed to come. 20 minutes later of impatient waiting, her mom came up in a small VW bug.
"Mom, meet Catie, and Izzy. I found them in the Shadow City." she explained. Lydia Jones froze.

"Hey, umm... Mrs Jones," Catie said, still in British mode. "Is something the matter?"

"Oh um, nothing, may I ask what your mother's last name is?" Lydia said, crouching down to her knees to be the same height of Catie.

"Ummm... uh... Summers. Why do you want to know?" there was something weird about this lady, she could tell. "Do you know her or something?"

Lydia bit her lip down, "I'm not sure, can you tell me her first name sweetie?"

"My moms got a picture of you!" Izzy blurted suddenly, "I think anyway, you had awesome neon green hair! Except maybe it wasn't you, I mean obviously the picture was from forever ago and your hair doesn't look like that now" Jackies mom was looking at her like she was from outer space "okaaay, I think I'll shut up now."

"Yep, that was me." Lydia chuckled. "Of course I had to change it for broadway, but I remember it. Can you tell me what your mom's name is or where she is?"

Catie stared at the lady. Sometimes she got a feeling about people and their emotions. it sounded crazy, but she was convinced it was real, even though her mom just said she had an over active imagination. Right now she was curious, earnedt, and excited. "Ok, Mrs. Jones, you're really starting to creep me out. You could come and meet my mom if you want if you think you know her. Her name's Tara."

Lydia's expression, lit up with realization. "I would very much like to, Thank you." She turned to Jackie, "If you want you can take the car." Jackie shook her head. "No Thanks, I want to see this." as they proceeded to the house.

Soon they got to Catie's house. She went in, the others trailing. "Hey, mum? There's someone who wants to see you." Tara came out of the kitchen, pushing her hair out of her face. When she saw Lydia, she stopped in her tracks. She seemed to be in shock. Finally she got ahold of herself. "Hey, Cay? can you go up to your room with Izzy and ummm... your friend," she said, gesturing to Jackie. They did so but stopped at the top of the stairs where nobody could see them. Catie put her finger to her lips. Be quiet. They listened in. "What are you doing here?" Tara hissed at Lydia.

Izzy was quite pleased. First they had found something called shadow city, then they had met a mysterious dancer and her mom and now they were taking these complete strangers home with them, it was an adventure! "TARA!!" shouted Izzy the minute they walked in the door, knowing she should probably be polite but not exactly feeling like it. "Right here!" she called back recognizing Izzy's voice and the four made their way into the house.
