Daniella: Anne, this is your bank account! I'm glad I am the one who won that auction!
I'm happy that we can accompany you to the bank, to see what's up with the account.
Anne: We were so busy "catching up" we never signed that "Transfer of Ownership"
did we? You can cancel that check, I got a big brother and sister now!
Daniella: I will have that done from Europe, it should be a small matter. Let us concentrate
on this matter at hand.
Anne: I should have bought a suit, I had no time back home! I just threw some clothes
into a duffel bag!
Daniella: Don't worry, I have many friends in fashion. I'll call ahead and have them
deliver a new suit for you.

They got an early appointment of 9:30 AM sharp. As she promised,
Daniella made sure that her new younger sister would dress
the part of meeting a private banker, she sent word out to
have a new suit delivered to their hotel room in Switzerland.
That morning at the bank...
Once the three gave the clerk their bank account number, passports
and appointment time, they were brought into the "inner rooms" and
were promptly served coffee. They were told the banker should be
with them in three minutes.
The banker was a bit shocked and amused. He thought no one would
ever lay claim to that account! The woman that opened it over 50
years ago gave special instructions in her will that the person
that tries to claim this account must be a Van der Zee and not be
over the age of 40 - any other person showing up, claiming this box,
the bank is to destroy the contents of the box and close the account!
The bank is to present the key to the safety deposit box without
question. The banker didn't know three Van der Zees would show up!
Without further ado, he lead Anne to the basement and presented
to her the key there. He offered that she could stay downstairs to
look over her account, or she may go to another room other than the
one her two siblings are waiting. She should just ask the security
guard to escort her out. Anne insisted rather, that she open the box
in front of her brother and sister.

All three held their breath as Anne opened the
Safety deposit box, in it were the following items....
|
|
Seeing these two, Anne exclaimed: "So here are
the other two! The bottom of the one I had on
auction had "1 of 3 ever constructed"
engraved on it!
In the first box was:
|
|
|
Swiss House Keys with an Address to a house in La Gruyere, Switzerland. |
The house is somewhere here! |
In the Second box were three items:
Item Number 1:
A cloth that felt like leather that
had the following inscription:
|
Item Number 2:
A page from a book
|
Item Number 3:
A small leather bound book.
With all pages empty, except two.
|
The first page:
I USED "THE DOOR" WITHOUT JOACHIM'S KNOWLEDGE AND GOT
THESE ITEMS WITH A WARNING AND INSTRUCTIONS TO GET A
HOUSE, LEAVE THESE ITEMS IN THIS BANK. THE ONE WHO WILL
CLAIM IT WILL KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THEM!
The second page:
At the basement of the Library of the University of Zurich,
there is a book that tells you of how King Solomon got rid
of a wind genie from the land of a great people.
What is the name of that land?
Once you have that answer, proceed to the
mansion to continue this quest NOT BEFORE!
When you get the name of another city,
that is when your quest ends!
Anne, Daniella, and Alexander were in a bit of a daze. The Gold Set!
The very markings under each of the pieces for the Gold Side of
The Chess Service of King Solomon! Daniella knew this information
could be very valuable to Didi!
Zurich! They must now leave for Zurich! They all decided to
finish all this before their big "surprise" for their parents
and Grand pa.
