Violets POV:

       "Children! What are you doing here?" Mr. Poe asked, rolling down the window of his car. "Mr. Poe we really need to get to the auction!" Klaus said, urgently. "Well, Mrs. Poe and I were just going there! I suppose we could give you all a lift!" Mr. Poe said happily. So we all filed into the back of Mr. Poe's old car. As we drove, I couldn't help feel my heart rate increase. What if we didn't get justice for esme's plot? What if count olaf escaped? What if-  "hey, calm down, its gonna be okay." Duncan said, taking  my hand softly. My heart immediately calmed down as I took a deep breath. "Thanks." I said, putting my head on Duncan's shoulder.

"We are here! But we are a bit late..." Mr. Poe said, getting out of his car. "Its fine Mr. Poe." Klaus said, offering his hand to isidora. "Guys, we've got to get in there and stop Esme!" I said. Before Mr. Poe could react, we were already up the front steps of the auction building. We burst into the auction aggressively.

"STOP THE AUCTION!" We yelled.

The audience turned there backs to face us. All with faces of utter shock. But nobody's face was as horrified as Esme, who was on the stage behind the podium. Duncan took my hand as we walked up to this stage. "THIS WOMAN, ESME SQUALOR SHOULD BE ARRESTED!" I shouted. The crowd gasped. "SHE'S RIGHT! Esme was planning to secretly sell the 5 of us and our fortunes to someone in this audience!!" The crowd gasped. "WELL HOW DO WE KNOW THEY ARE TELLING THE TRUTH?" Someone in the crowd asked. "Snarklitte!" Sunny said, meaning, oh brother.

"BECAUSE I HAVE EVIDENCE!" Everyone turned around to see Jerome. "I was on my way to the auction, when I found a strange office. Now, you must know, our apartment has many, many rooms, so I have taken the time to memorize every one. But this one I hadn't recognized before. It was... peculiar. I entered it to find various plans on nothing but selling the Baudelaires and Quagmires!" The crowd gasped.

"H- he- he's lying!" Esme yelled.

"ARREST HER!"
