Back at Benjamin’s base of operations, Chi-Chi and Harry continued to watch that Butler show. They began marathoning the start of an arc that had the main character that got suspected of murder for his image and social class. The Butler had to help clear his name and avoid capture by the Organization, while also trying not to get replaced by someone else.

“I’m telling you, it’s the new guy trying to steal his job.” Harry insisted.

“That would be too obvious,” Chi-Chi waved it off. “The real guilty party has got to be the Duchess.”

“What would she have to gain from framing the poor guy?” Harry questioned.

“I don’t know?” Chi-Chi shrugged, “But she’s acting too weird.”

“That’s how she always acts. Do you have something against—?”

“No, I’m not saying that at all! I think there’s something off about her, like she knows more than she lets on. You know?”

“Well, ok, if you say so...”

“Hey, bro, let’s make a bet and see who’s right, and the winner gets a reward.”

“All right, you’re on!”

The two kept watching as they got to one of the quieter scenes in the episode.

“Hey, Harry?” Chi-Chi whispered.

“Yeah?” Harry whispered back.

“I have to go to the bathroom.”

“Oh, ok. Do you want me to record for you?”

“Yes, please,” Chi-Chi said, as she hopped off the couch and headed for the restroom.

Harry wondered which button was the record button. He leaned over to push a button to adjust the volume but accidentally pressed the button that took him to the news station, where a shady broadcaster appeared in front of the TV.

“We have more breaking news.”

“What the- how did I get to here?” Harry questioned upon seeing the news show up out of nowhere. “It was getting right to the good part too!”

“The young girl and the young boy, who seem to be her friend, have been seen using a remote device against a different young boy. It is still unknown if this is a performance or not, but the police and authorities don’t want to take any chances.”

The news showed the battle between Benjamin and Isabelle as they brought their fight over to the streets. People looked on, rooting for the person they thought would win the match as if a video game tournament was underway instead of a street fight. The magic never went outside the immediate area the two were fighting in, not that the audience minded either way.

Harry caught on fast and gasped. “No way, the Master is on TV? That’s unbelievable!” He jumped up and down on the couch in excitement. “I got to tell Chi-Chi when she gets out!” He paused for a moment and pondered, “Wait, how’d he even get himself in—?”

“We don’t know what the resolution will be, but we’ll keep you posted on further occurrences.”

“Wait, where are they? Don’t go!” Harry got off the couch and dashed over to the TV right before it cut off and switched to a commercial about shampoo and conditioner. He slumped on the floor and sighed.

“Oh man, what should I do now? Master looks like he’s in trouble, but how can I help?” He looked over to the side of the couch and saw the wand still lying on the floor.
