She didn't know how that little harpy got out of the medical transport locker or why she would kidnapped that man. The mindflayer did know there was a reasonable chance she was in this house. Thanks to that News report, it was easy to track her down by reading the minds at the bars. Acquiring the information out of that taxi company took a lot more time then it should have. That damn Danuki and her mind reading shield spells. Zaheera had her thralls surround the house and grab anyone that tried to run. As she knocked on the front door, she tried seeing inside the house with her mind. She was having a hard time seeing the old man and his wife. The woman moved to the study and he was walking to the door. She could not see anyone else, but she did feel a lot of magic inside. There could be two or more ley lines running through the house that maybe tripping her up. As the old man opened the door, she greeted him.
"Hello my name is Zaheera, I am looking for a harpy. Have you seen one before?"
Trying to read this man's mind, all she got was his emotions. When she got done with this job, she would have to come back here break his strong will. He looked at her and pointed at a house down the road.
"A man and his wife just moved in that house. I think she is a harpy."
Zaheera could tell he was confused, but was more angry that she was asking him an odd question. It was a much easier time to see inside that house, but only to find a griffin.
"I have already talked to them and she is a griffin. Are you sure you have not seen any else?"
He looked surprised and she could see it in his emotions to. So then, he is not lying and thought she was one. This was confirmed when he asked.
"So what does a harpy look like? I don't think I have seen one before."

She signed and called the thralls to return. This was going no where and she didn't have time for this.
"I'm to have trouble Sr. Have a nice day."
He smiled and waved.
"Come back anytime time.
She could all most taste the lust leaking out of his mind as she walked away. There was no way the harpy was in that house, not with him wanting her stay for some fun. Zaheera feared this was a died end and would have to look elsewhere. June's dad stared at her ass as she walked away. Now that he was out of range of her mind reading, Jimmy let his mind go wild thoughts and ideas. He knew of Zaheera The Mind Raper and her services are not cheap in the underground. Some one powerful was looking for his little girl. He knows the reason, but not the why. He also thought it was odd that Zaheera was not unable to see Tom and June in the bomb shelter. He walked into the study and found his wife at the desk.
"I think our daughter 'may-be' got herself a wizard. He could have been telling the truth about the magic test kit."
Jimmy's wife sat there thinking about what her husband said and asked.
"What makes you think that?"
He explained who was at the door and what he thought about Tom. June's mom looked down at the floor and asked.
"Why would someone like Tom just drop out of nowhere and help us? Should we get June away from Tom?"
Her husband laughed at this.
"I don't know why he is helping, but I will try to find out. Also, we will need all help we can get. Even if Tom's just a beginner and not all that powerful. He's still 'may-be' a wizard."
She signed and looked worried.
"What should we do now then?"
Jimmy looked down at the rug and said.
"That's the easy part. Get the kids out of the bomb shelter and when I get the time, I'll make some calls to my old friends at the police station or DA."
