I'm afraid next Friday won't be here any sooner than the last one. grin

I'm so glad you liked this installment. Initially, Houdini wasn't a part of this story. But when so many people wrote that he would be so confused after the events of the last part, I realized that I needed to include him. Unsurprisingly, the story turned out to be so much better.

Thanks so much for your feedback.
