    From: Brigitte Constance LarueTo: Zofia Goldwater Anderson LarueDear Mother,A thousand apologies for neglecting to call you on your birthday. I know it's impossible to forget, being on Halloween, but I have a good reason. No, I was not shopping, I was busy saving the world with Mrs. Weatherby. Yes, you read that correctly, my idol , the witch I aspire to be, Agnes Weatherby, former director of the Bureau, who can still work the mojo. I have attached a PDF file (call me if you can't download it or read it) of my official report. I won't say much here or risk spoiling all the surprises we encountered. I will tell you that your former bridge partner and extraordinary orangutan Clementine was along for the ride. Also joining us was WBI's newest recruit, Kitty Howe, and her twin boys, Herman and Nate. I do believe that trouble follows those boys like paparazzi. Herman broke an hourglass that belonged to Death and managed to find himself—oops! No spoilers. Read my report and call me. Kisses, your youngest daughter, Brigitte.
