The House of Magic Page #2

our house is off limits to outsiders.

Consider this a one-night stand.

How we doin', guys?

Oop. Pass, kick, goal!

Jack!

Fur ball's still here!

And that's my bowl!

Hey!

Just in time, my friend.

We're running late this morning.

- You just don't get it, do you?

- You crossed the line.

I don't understand.

Isn't he the boss here?

Not as far as you're concerned.

I'll deal with you when I get back.

Sorry, Thunder, not today.

Hey, where are they going?

No, Thunder. You have to stay here,

look after the house.

Hey, look what I have for you.

Oh, why not?

I think I have an idea.

Good morning, everyone!

Good morning, Mr Lawrence!

So, Izzy. Can you give me your money?

I don't have any money.

What do you mean you don't have any?

Of course you do.

Great. How many times are

you going to do that trick?

Oh, I guess you're right, Dylan.

Let's see what else I have here.

Hey, kids, who can tell me what

other tricks a magician performs?

I know. He pulls a

rabbit from his hat.

Absolutely right, Izzy.

This trick requires

complete concentration.

Abracadabra!

Presto. Poof!

Ta-da!

It's a carrot!

Oops! I must be slipping.

My rabbit should have been in there.

A simple explanation.

The other hat.

Ta-da!

That's not a rabbit!

Oh, dear! So it is.

I'm afraid I'm losing my touch.

The rabbit! The rabbit!

He's taking the carrot!

What did you say?

Where did my carrot go?

It's a white mouse!

A mouse? Oh! Where?

There! On your head!

Oh! It's Maggie.

Come down here.

- No!

- The cat's going to eat her!

Oh, no! That's not good.

I can't believe it!

Oh, no. You didn't!

Oh, no.

Did he?

Children, allow me to introduce

the newest member of our troupe!

Thunder!

Yay!

He's cuter than the old rabbit.

You're dead.

I say we kick him off the trunk now.

He won't find his way back.

But Jack.

Maybe you should give the

kitty a little break?

Stay out of it.

I've got a better idea.

- Here, poke him, Jack.

- With pleasure.

What is going on back there?

Thunder, no!

Oh, no!

What happened to my brakes?

I can't stop!

Help!

Hey, hey! Look who it is! Mi bro!

You look like you just used up

eight of them nine lives you got.

What is up with that?

Why'd you go gato crazy and

attack that old man for?

What? No.

Oh, you need to control yourself.

Those claws could shred a dude to pieces!

Now I know why them people

booted you out like they did.

You be one nasty gato!

What happened? Where is everyone?

You sent that old man

to the hospital.

Or maybe the cemetery, chico.

- He looked like day-old refries.

- Oh, no.

What have I done?

Hey, stop it! We're in public.

- You got to keep your stuff together, man.

- I didn't mean to hurt him.

Okay, okay, maybe you didn't.

What do I know?

I'm a dog, not a doctor.

Maybe they just took him back home.

S, s, that's probably

what they did.

You really think so?

Come on, I'll walk a piece with you.

Well, that would be great.

I'm feeling a little out of it.

- What happened to your leash?

- I got rid of it.

I put my paw down.

Got all freaky in the house.

Did my stinky business.

Now I'm in charge. No more leash.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hold your enchiladas.

This is where you live?

- Yeah.

- Oh, no.

This is one spooky old casa, mi bro.

I heard this story about

this big-toothed were-rabbit

and this evil white mouse.

Man, they got some black magic

goin' on and ghosts, too!

It's mucho peligroso.

You know, haunted.

- No, it's not.

- That's what the word on the street is.

Hey, man, I gotta go.

Seriously. I really gotta go.

Good luck to ya!

Jack, what's wrong?

I don't know. It appears as

if I may have broken my leg.

No. Let me see.

It doesn't look good.

You gotta get that fixed.

Oh, that miserable cat!

Look on the bright side.

We got rid of him.

I suppose you're right.

- Ouch.

- Someone's coming.

Uncle Lawrence, Uncle Lawrence?

Danny? Is that you?

Yes, it is.

Where am I?

In the hospital.

Oh, I don't feel very well.

Of course not.

You're too old to be running all over

town putting on these little shows.

Too old to make children laugh?

Uncle Lawrence, I should

be at work right now.

We... We can't go on like this.

Look, I think I've found the

perfect place for you to live

when you get out of here.

What's going on, Mags?

It's the nephew. He's going

on about some papers.

Papers? What for?

Have a look at this brochure.

Rhode Island.

I think you're gonna love it.

You're taking me to an island?

Oh, nice of you.

I'll be back a bit later.

There are some papers I need you

to sign. Now, try and get some rest.

Two to one, he's trying to

take advantage of the old man.

Which doesn't sound

good for us, either.

We really need to get out of here.

These men in a car with

flashing lights took him away.

I thought they were

bringing him home.

So, I guess he is not here, then?

Do you understand what I'm saying?

What's going on?

Hello?

Geez.

Oh, please, guys,

you're freaking me out.

Oh, stop it. You're tickling me.

For a second there I thought...

Never mind.

Lawrence should be home soon.

In the meantime, I'll take care of you

and we will all look after the house.

- He looks pretty bad.

- Keep your voice down.

Mr Lawrence?

Mr Lawrence? It's Izzy and Dylan.

We heard you had an accident.

We should let him rest.

What was that?

Look, it's the magic trunk!

Be quiet.

- Let's open it.

- I'm not sure it's a good idea.

Okay, Carlo, Carla, this is our chance.

You must warn the others at the house.

- Oh, boy. Now we're in trouble.

- I told you.

Maybe they know their way back home.

Let's hope so.

What about the other animals?

Where's the cat?

- What are you doing here?

- Nurse Baxter.

You have no business going through

Mr Lawrence's personal effects.

- We were just...

- But the animals...

Oh, Izzy.

What animals?

Oh! Oh, dear!

A mouse!

These animals do not belong in here.

They'll have to go.

You can't just kick them out.

Oh, don't be concerning

yourselves about that.

Back to your rooms.

I told you.

Sorry!

Carlo, Carla.

- Carlo, look, it's the kitty.

- We didn't think you made it!

What happened to Lawrence?

Oh, he's laid up in the hospital,

all banged up.

- Oh, no!

- And Jack's hurt pretty bad, too.

But we got a bigger problem.

Jack says his nephew's

gonna take care of us.

- And not in a good way.

- We have to stop him!

First, I guess we have to find

out what he's up to, right?

That's true!

We have to stay alert.

Be ready for anything.

Carlo, Carla, you're on lookout!

Edison, Twiggoo, come with me!

It has to go.

- Couldn't this have waited until tonight?

- I'm afraid not.

Why didn't you just chuck it?

He won't need it any more.

There are animals in it and

they are not allowed in here.

Fine. I'll take care of it.

- Danny?

- I need you to sign this.

It gives me power of attorney

to handle your affairs

while you're in the hospital.

The power company, you say?

Power of...

Never mind. Just put your
