12

As the children woke up behind the market, they knew the day was today that they had to make a jailbreak for Jaques Snicket, a man they barely knew.

Klaus: wait where is isabelle?

Violet: she left a note.

I'm with Olaf, I'm sorry but I have to go with him.. its complicated.. I'll see you back soon. <3

Violet: why is the word back underlined? That doesn't make sense.

Klaus: maybe she means the back of the paper.

Violet turned over the piece of the paper.

It's time to volunteer.

Isadora: violet, maybe it's the second part of the phrase she gave you at Cafe Salmonella.

Violet took the other piece of paper out of her pocket.

She set them together, and read out loud:

Violet: all noble and decent people know, it's time to volunteer.

Duncan: that means it's our turn to save her, to save Jaques.

Klaus stood up.

Klaus: let's get going then.

Isadora: plan save the snicket's is in order.

Violet: snicket. Why didn't I put that together? Saibelle Setnick, Jaques Snicket. Her name is Isabelle Snicket.

Klaus: that's good, now we know more about this whole.. thing.

Violet: that means her mother's last name is Snicket too.

Duncan: If we find her mother then she could help us.

Violet: but first we have to try to save her family, otherwise she might not like us.

Klaus: but she would know its Olaf's fault.

Isadora: I would feel bad for her, to know her former lover is at fault for all of this.

Violet: Gross.

Klaus: don't you think she knows he isnt a good person?

Duncan: yeah, why else would they have broken up?

Violet: we can find that out after we have everyone safe!

Klaus: she's right, lets go.

The orphans walked to the jail, and noticed no one was inside.

They walked up to the jail cell.

Jaques: they left, it's just me for now.

Klaus: do you know where they are?

Jaq: they are discussing my death..

He sighed.

Violet looked around the jail.

Duncan: what are you looking for.

Violet: I need a lock pick.

She noticed something wedged into a crack in a table.

Violet managed to get it out. It was the pocket knife Olaf gave Isabelle.

Violet: she left her lock pick.

Violet: wait there is another note with the knife.

She opened the note, it read:

HellO, baudelaires, and quagmireS, Please belIeve That i Am near. Love, i.s

Isadora: it's a coded message, the uppercase letters spell out a word or a phrase, I read it in a code book I found in our parents library.

Violet: I'll use the knife to open the jail cell, you de-code the message.

Klaus and duncan looked at the note, klaus took out his notebook and a pencil.

Isadora: I'll say the letters and you write them down.

Klaus: I'm ready.

Violet: I'm sorry we didn't come sooner.

Jaques: it's okay, you're here now.

Isadora: H

Klaus wrote down H.

Isadora: O

Klaus wrote down O.

Isadora: S

Violet: I almost have it unlocked.

Isadora: P

Klaus wrote down P.

Isadora: I

Duncan: Hospital. Hospital!

Violet: why would she make a secret note and use the word hospital.

Jaq: there's a hospital down the road, Heimlich Hospital. Maybe she means they are going there.

Violet: you are brilliant.

Jaq: all of you children are.

Violet opened the cell door.

Jaques: thank you.

Violet: we all need to leave now!

Isadora: and go where?

Jaques: I have a taxi.

Klaus: can you bring us to the hospital then?

Jaques: you want to follow Olaf?

Violet: we want to follow isabelle.

Jaques: I suppose..

"Attention townspeople! Count Olaf will now be burned a tthe stake this very moment!"

Jaques stepped back into the jail cell.

Jaques: you need to run.

Violet: no! We got you out, you need to take us to the hospital!

Jaques: change of plans, run before Olaf and Esmé come back.

Klaus: violet, we have to.
