As violet, isadora, and sunny watched them leave, they wanted to leave with them.

Violet: we have to call Mr. Poe or something.

Isadora: wont he wonder why I'm with you and not klaus?

Violet: I'll think of something.

×××As Mr. Poe parked in front of the school waiting for the Baudelaires, violet, isadora, and sunny went into the backseat and thankfully, Mr. Poe didn't look back and see theee girls instead of all three Baudelaires.

Mr. Poe: the next guardian you three Baudelaires will have is a kind couple that live in the penthouse at 667 Dark Avenue.

Isadora and violet looked at eachother.

Mr. Poe: its actually right here.

He stopped the car and the children noticed it was dark and there were posters of count olaf everywhere.

Mr. Poe: there is a city wide man hunt for count olaf.

Isadora: what about isabelle?

Mr. Poe turned around.

Poe: hmm? Hey who are you? Where is klaus?

Violet: he is.. inside already.

Mr. Poe: oh okay, well I have to get going, it's right over there.

The three girls got out of the car and walked to the tall building with the numbers 667 on it.

Mr. Poe drove off.

Isadora: I guess I am a Baudelaire now.

Violet: I miss duncan and klaus..

Isadora: me too.

They walked into the building and There were stairs they had to go up.

Isadora: I'm not a real Baudelaire but this makes me nervous.

Violet: me too.

As they reached the top they noticed that there was an elevator, and it had the eye that was on olaf and isabelle's ankle, that was all around thier house.

Violet: coincidence?

Isadora: maybe that means she is here.

Violet: I hope.

Sunny hugged her sister tighter.

Violet: I miss klaus too, sunny.

Isadora: shall we go in?

Violet: I guess we have to.

They knocked on the door to the right of that elevator.

A man opened the door.

?: hello! My name is Jerome Squalor, welcome to your new home!

He led them inside.

A woman was sitting on a fancy couch.

?: you may call me Esmé Squalor, the 6th most important financial advisor.

Violet: nice to meet you..

Esmé: have you told them about the IN auction yet?

Jerome: honey they just walked in. What my wife means, is welcome to your new home!

Esmé: should I give them a tour?

Isadora: what auction?

Jerome: it's a new auction Esmé is very excited for.

Esmé: it's the most IN thing right now.

Violet: what does in mean?

Esmé: it means fancy and popular? Don't you know anything?

Jerome: the children just didn't understand, love. The auctioneer will be here soon.

Esmé: the most IN auctioneer.

Violet: we would like that tour.

Esmé: not until the auctioneer comes, he needs to see our fancy house.

There was a knock on thier door.

Esmé: he's here!

Esmé went to answer the door.

A man came in holding the hand of a girl.

Auctioneer: hello! My name is Gunther, and this is my daughter Saibelle who insisted she wanted to come for some reason..

Violet: Esmé! This man is Count Olaf and that girl is our friend, Isabelle.

Jerome: Baudelaires, it's not nice to accuse a man and his daughter to being a villain and his daughter, that's very rude.

Olaf: he is right that is rude.

Olaf was in a nice suit and his hair was combed. He was talking in what he thought was an accent.Isabelle had her hair in (what we call spacebuns) she was wearing an identical suit as olaf and she had on makeup.

Violet: Mr. And Mrs. Squalor, we garentee these people are Count Olaf and Isabelle.

Isa: that's not true, my name is Saibelle Setnick.

Isadora: sounds fake to me.

Isabelle crossed her arms.

Esmé: doesn't matter, we have a tour to start!

Violet, Isadora, Sunny, Olaf, and Isabelle followed Jerome and Esmé through a long hallway.

Isabelle slowed down and walked with violet and isadora while Olaf talked with the couple.

Violet: why are you going along with this?

Isa: sometimes you have to do a wicked thing for a noble reason.

Isabelle took out her notebook and flipped through the crossed out pages, tore out a piece of paper and gave it to violet.

Violet: what's this?

Isa: it's a note. Read it when you can.

After touring many rooms, the Baudelaire girls and isadora felt tired.

Esmé: we should go out to eat, theres a very IN restuarant nearby.

Violet: are Gunther and Saibelle coming?

Esmé: yes of course.

As the limo that was outside brought them to the most 'in' restaurant, the two Baudelaires missed thier brother and wondered where they were.

Isa: Cafe Salmonella?

They all looked up at the pink colored building.

Sunny: poison.

Violet: Sunny is right, isn't Salmonella food poisoning?

Isa: not if you don't eat.

Isabelle walked inside and the adults and children followed.

They got a table, isabelle sat on the edge, olaf and violet sitting on either side of her, olaf stared into violet's eyes.

Isa: the waiter is coming. Waiter! Over here!

A tall man came over to isabelle.

Waiter: hello. I'm Larry, your waiter. Young lady have you been good to your mother?

Isa: the question is has she been good to me.

Olaf glared at her.

Isa: may I have the Very Fun Drink, please?

Larry: yes miss.

Esmé and Jerome ordered.

Olaf: don't you girls want anything?

Larry: yes we have peppermints for you.. Baudelaires.

Violet knew her and Sunny were allergic to peppermints. But this man seemed to know them and Isabelle.

Isadora: yes, we would love those.

Isadora whispered to violet:

"We need an excuse to leave and go search for the boys."

Violet unfolded the note.

It read:

All noble and decent people know,

Violet: what?

Her eyes met olaf's.

She smiled.

Violet: just talking to myself.

Violet folded the paper back up and put it in her jacket pocket.

When larry came back, he gave isabelle a small drink,

Larry: it's a lemony drink, your favorite

He also gave her a folded piece of paper, but olaf noticed and snatched it from her.

Olaf: we are eating, not doodling.

Olaf unfolded the paper, read it, smiled and gave it to isabelle.

Larry gave the two Baudelaires and isadora each a peppermint.

Violet: thank you.

She quickly put it in her mouth.

She gave one to sunny who ate hers too.

Isa: I would like to work here when I'm old enough.

Olaf: no. That's ridiculous.

Isa: mom would let me.

Olaf: stop talking about her!

Esmé: is everything okay?

Jerome: oh my! Baudelaires you have hives all over.

The oblivious man was right, the Baudelaires were breaking out in hives from the peppermints.

Violet: may we go back to to the penthouse?

Olaf: well we can all go.

Larry: you haven't gotten your food, gunther.

Jerome: we can let the Baudelaires go by themselves.

Isabelle stood up.

Isa: I want to go.

Olaf: ugh fine.

Olaf stood up and got close to isabelle.

Olaf: if you start anything other than a fire, I will disown you.

Violet took isabelle's hand.

Violet: okay bye!

Isadora picked up sunny and the four girls ran out of there before any of the adults could change thier minds.

Isabelle took out the piece of paper.

Isa: I have to be at the Hotel Denumont on Thursday, so I'm afraid I cant be with you, except my father knows I have to be there, so I'm not sure what will happen.

Violet: why do you have to go to a hotel?

Isa: someone I know is one of the managers of the hotel. But it doesn't matter right now, we have to go look for duncan and klaus.
