Phrog was very upset. His general demeanor was very agitated. He had thought that he was pretty much invisible but a masked man had just dropped off a package for him which contained a photograph. It had obviously been taken from a high vantage point and it was of him. It did not reach his usual standards for a photograph of himself but he was recognizable.

It looked to be taken just after he had exited the riverboat and he wondered who on earth could have taken it. On the other hand it was taken from such a high spot that perhaps it had not been taken on earth. Perhaps the dragons....

He knew that he was a victim of procrastination but he could not bring himself to contact the Mighty Chief Dragon as he was worried that the rumors he had heard were true and that they were still after him and all the members of the Order of the Salamanders. He had drank too much last night and the demons were upon him again. He would have to summon the invisible council to aid him in his thinking.

He lit the summoning candle and it gave just enough light that he could read the message printed on the back of the picture. It said. "Phrog, it is I, the invincible Sarrarah and I have had enough. I have been out here in California cavorting with film stars and that ilk. I am no longer going to spy on the dragons for you. I look on what I have been doing as a poor substitute for a summer job and am going to see what I can find on the computer under Craigslist to see if there is something better for me to do. In the meantime I am on my way back to headquarters and nothing you can do will change my mind. Sincerely. Sarrarah Salamander.
Phrog blew out the candle and sounded the alarm. They must move to the secret headquarters before Sarrarah returned and blew their cover.
