where big, dark-haired Carl, his fellow Advisory wizard, was doing something to the strip lighting that
ran below the upper kitchen cupboards. Tom was leaning against the refrigerator, holding a cup of
coffee, with the expression of a man who wants nothing to do with whateverтАЩs happening.

тАЬHi, Kit,тАЭ he said, as Ponch ran through the kitchen and out the other side, heading toward the
bedrooms, where the sheepdogs Annie and Monty were barking at something. тАЬCoke?тАЭ

тАЬYeah, thanks.тАЭ Kit sat down at the table and watched Carl, who was bent over sideways under the
upper cupboards and making faces.

тАЬI told him to call an expert,тАЭ Tom said as he fished a can of Coke out of the refrigerator and sat down
with Kit at the dining room table, where a number of volumes of the Senior version of the wizardтАЩs
manual were piled up.

тАЬWeтАЩre expert enough to change the laws of physics temporarily,тАЭ Carl muttered. тАЬHow hard can wiring
be?тАЭ

With a dunk! all the lights in the house went out.

Carl moaned. Kit could just see Tom make a flicking motion with one finger at the circuit-breaker box
near the kitchen door, and the lights came back on again. тАЬYou should stick to physics,тАЭ Tom said.

тАЬJust one more time,тАЭ Carl said, and went down the stairs to the basement.

тАЬThis will be the sixth тАШone more timeтАЩ in the past two hours,тАЭ Tom said. тАЬIтАЩm hoping heтАЩll see sense
before he blows up the transformer at the end of the street. Or maybe the local power station.тАЭ

тАЬI heard that!тАЭ said the voice from the basement.

Kit snickered, but not too loudly.

тАЬAnyway,тАЭ Tom said, тАЬthanks for coming over. Briefly, one of our wizards is missing, and IтАЩd like you
to look into it.тАЭ

This was a new one on Kit. тАЬMissing? Anybody I know?тАЭ

тАЬHard for me to tell. HereтАЩs the listing.тАЭ Tom pulled down the topmost manual and opened it; the pages
riffled themselves to a spot he had bookmarked. It was a page in the master wizardsтАЩ address listing for
the New

York area, and one block of information glowed a soft rose. Kit leaned over to look at it. In the Speech,
it said:

McALLISTER, Darryl
