dialing the Pillar’s number again. This time it’s out of reach. What’s going on?
    “Could it be a new Wonderland Monster?” The March suggests. “Playing some personal game with us?”
    I say nothing. I have no speculations.
    “I have a bad feeling about this.” Tom dashes out of the cell, walks the halls and climbs up the stairs.
    The March and I follow.
    Inside his office I watch him flip through news channels, looking for a clue. Most channels are covering the new pope’s arrival in the Vatican. None of it has anything to do with us in the asylum.
    “Maybe we’re reading too much into this,” I suggest. “Let’s wait for the Pillar.”
    “As if he is coming,” Tom says.
    “If he is really after the Six Keys, then he will still want to meet with me,” I say. “Since when does the Pillar disappear for long?”
    “Alice,” The March shoots me a worried look. “Are we going to be all right?”
    I pull him closer and pat him again. “We will. Don’t worry.”
    “Because I should be looking after Fabiola if I’m of no use here.”
    “How is she?” My question is sucked away by the sudden noise outside Tom’s office. It seems like many wardens want in.
    “What’s going on?” Tom shouts behind the closed door.
    “Something is wrong. Really wrong.”
    “What is it?” Tom tenses, even more.
    “Check out the outside surveillance cameras,” someone says behind the door. “They’re all over the asylum.”
    “Who is?” Tom mumbles, switching his TV channel to surveillance.
    And there we see it. It doesn’t make sense — as if anything does anymore. The March, Tom, and I are staring at the police force in every shape and form surrounding the asylum’s four corners. Some of them are ready with their guns and rifles pointed at the building.
    “What in madness’ name is happening here?” Tom gapes at the screen, staring at it.
    “Whatever it is, the message was right,” I say. “ It’s happening. ”

    “…on the back!” Margaret told the Queen. “It’s an absurd joke. The messenger is telling us to find the third message on the back of the note.”
    Furious, the Queen snatched the note back and read:
    Switch your TV channels until you find news about what’s happening at the Radcliffe Asylum. Enjoy.
    “Nothing’s happening in the asylum,” Margaret said, switching channels. But then one channel showed it.
    The Queen glued herself to the screen, not quite comprehending what was going on. The news line at the bottom explained very little.
    Margaret said, “It says the British police and Interpol are about to catch the most threatening terrorist organization in the world.”
    “What kind of bonkers is that?” The Queen said. “How did I not know about this? What am I, the Queen of Bed and Breakfast?”
    “That’s not the point,” Margaret said, raising the volume. “Why would our police think the terrorists are in the Radcliffe Asylum? I’m not quite sure what’s going on.”
    The Queen said, “The real question is: who is your messenger, and how did he know about this?”
     
     

Chapter 14
    The Radcliffe Asylum
     
    Eyes wide, I watch the police about to attack the asylum from Tom’s surveillance cameras. It all feels like judgment day or something. Not one reasonable explanation crosses my mind. All I know is that I’m terribly scared.
    “Look!” Tom points at the news channel, covering our situation. “They think we’re terrorists.”
    “Wonderland Monsters, to be precise,” I say, listening to the host.
    It seems that, in some ironic twist, Interpol is convinced that the Mushroomers – including me and the March – in the asylum are responsible for every terrorist attack in the last few months. They claim that Wonderland Monsters is a codename for terrorists. That every monster in the past weeks worked for one organization, which is based in the asylum.
    Dazed and confused, I’m listening to the
