Two years passed. Wolf forgot about what he felt that day, two years ago. He was watching TV, when Mike tried to make his first move. He noticed that, jumped up and called Virginia, who was at work:
- Virginia! He's walking! Huff-puff! He's walking!
- Wolf calm down! It's normal. You'll scare him by shouting like that. (She paused here) What did you just say? He's walking? I'm coming home.
She ran to her boss' office. Asked for a permission to go home, saying that she felt sick. She went home as fast as she could.
When she entered, she saw them both playing in the living room. Wolf was running after Mike trying to teach him how to run away.
- Honey, I'm so happy! I never thought that I would ever see him walking.
- Oh, come on Virginia.. He’s just a kid. He would have learned someday, and today he did!! Isn't that great?
At that moment the doorbell rang. Virginia went and opened the door. She was shocked. She smiled, and welcomed her dad and.. Wendell.
- Oh my God!! I never thought that I would see you again Prince! Oh, I mean your Majesty.
- Hello Virginia. How are you? And please, call me Wendell; I'm tired of the word Majesty.. I thought that I'd visit your father, and he told me that you already have a child. So, I decided to come.
She welcomed him, and invited them to enter.
- Hey, look who's here! It's the King!
- Hello Wolf. How are you?
- As good as I can be! My son walked today!
He held Mike and said:
- Son, I'd like you to meet His Majesty King Wendell, who pardoned all the wolves in the 9 kingdoms.
They had lunch together. And talked about the past, remembered when Wendell was turned into a dog, and how Virginia's hair got long.
Suddenly the phone rang. Wolf felt concerned. He went to answer it, but there was no one there. He knew that there's something wrong, but didn't show it.
- Wolf come and sits. Stop talking on the phone that much!
- I wasn't talking Tony. There was no one on the phone. Maybe it was a wrong number.
- Maybe it was.- Said Wendell in a suspicious tone.
It was time for Wendell to leave. He asked Virginia to bring Mike so he would say goodbye.
- He might be sleeping now. I don't hear his voice. Come, I'll show you his room.
She took Wendell to Mike's room. When she opened the door, she noticed that the window was opened.
- Oh, Wolf forgot to close the window again.- and she went to close it.
- And where is your son, Virginia?
- In his bed, over...- She turned to point to the bed, but couldn't continue the sentence. The bed was empty.
- Mike! Wolf! He's gone!
She ran out to call her husband, and they both came back to the room.
- He's gone Wolf! Mike's gone!
Wolf and Wendell searched the entire house, Tony searched outside. But, no luck. Suddenly, Virginia remembered that the window in the room was opened.
- The window was opened! - She said, and looked at Wolf - You left it opened!
- No I didn't. I closed it this time, I swear!
Wendell found a letter on Mike's bed.
- Look what I found. It was in the bed
Virginia took the letter and started to read:
"Want your kid back? Bring me your husband. You have three days to get here; otherwise you won't see your son again. Christine".
- Oh my God! It can't be.- Virginia couldn't hold her tears.- She can't be alive.
- What? Give me that letter!- Wolf took it from Virginia's hand and read it:
- Cripes! I felt this would happen.
And he remembered what he smelled two years ago.
- She was here two years ago!
- What are you talking about?- Asked Tony.
- She's dead! I killed her, remember?- Said Virginia.
- No, no. She was here. Virginia, remember that day when I was painting Mike's room? When I felt a smell at dinner?
- Yes, so?
- It was she. I didn't say anything, becuase I didn't want to believe that she's back.
- Oh my God.. My son's gonna get killed. Wolf, what'll we do?
- Calm down honey.- He hugged Virginia and continued.- We'll find him. I promise.
- But the letter.. She wants you.. I can't give you to her.
- She didn't mention where she took the baby, didn't she?- Asked Tony.
- No dad. She didn't.
- Then she's somewhere in the kingdoms.- Said Wendell.- Come on let's go there and we'll find them.
- Virginia! He's walking! Huff-puff! He's walking!
- Wolf calm down! It's normal. You'll scare him by shouting like that. (She paused here) What did you just say? He's walking? I'm coming home.
