“So, let me get this right,” said Oliver reaching for the last of the plates to put in the dishwasher, “All we have to do is get into the Tower of London, find the Royal Treasure from 1539 and see if the Cornerstone is one of them.”

Millie was only half listening, her dad was in the shop as Saturday was his busiest day and mum was having the rare treat of a day off. She had gone shopping with a friend and wouldn’t be back till late. Saturday night was Take Away night and Millie hoped it would be Indian this time. Suddenly, she had an idea. “Let’s go now.”

Oliver wiped the table, dripping water everywhere, “Go where?”

“To the Tower, you idiot.”

Oliver shook his head, “You know the rules, we stay at home till dad gets back.”

Millie huffed, “Look, mum’s been gone an hour right and dad will be back at six, so we have four hours to ourselves. If someone calls the house phone we can always say we were playing in the garden with Winston.”

Winston wagged his tail at the mention of his name and looked from one twin to the other but as nobody had a lead in their hands he returned, somewhat disappointed, to his bed.

Oliver was always cautious and he didn’t like lying to his parents, “But we will have to leave the portal, Millie, we will be in real time.”

“Yeah, I know.” Actually she had forgotten, “But surely four hours should be enough?”

They had both taken a virtual tour of the Tower. It would take ages to do it all, but they had sort of agreed on the White Tower and Waterloo Barracks as the obvious places to start.

Millie started the dishwasher, “Quark will be with us, what could possibly go wrong?”
