The update to aladywhodrowned leads to.......

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

http://brotherhoodoffivelights.blogspot.com/

In the source are a couple of codes:UWTSJUYNX ITRZX and jwzt fwnjx mtwyzx twyzx.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Rot-21 UWTSJUYNX ITRZX=PRONEPTIS DOMUS which is latin for GREAT-GRANDDAUGHTER HOUSE, jwzt fwnjx mtwyzx twyzx=eruo aries hortus ortus which is latin for "dig up ram(sheep) garden birth/beginning

There are several translations for the latin words, but this website seems to give the most useful http://www.archives.nd.edu/cgi-bin/words.exe

There's also a picture of myrtle berries and at the bottom of the page is another latin phrase, "non facias malum ut inde fiat bonum". Driz found this means "you should not make evil in order that good may be made from it".

*edit to add source info

[EMAIL] Keely - grandpa is buried in the garden!

Oh, I totally get the "wasted space" for burials. I worked at a
cemetery in San Diego for a few months in the Family Planning office.
Funerals and burials cost alot if you don't have anything pre-planned.
Services are for the living, those who have passed won't mind as long
as those that remain are comforted. It was pretty cool last year when
I found my great grandfather's headstone in the Hollywood Forever
cemetery (and his parents were over in the old Jewish section), but
all that I saw was a marker - it wasn't a person to me.
My father wants his ashes scattered in Hawaii (yeah, I know, that's
illegal). What happened with your grandfather's remains? Are they in
a cemetery or in the care of a relative (I have heard of folks keeping
ashes on the bookshelf or mantle)?

Hi Heather, I'm just heading out the door. Long day at the office! That's nice your Dad wants to be in a beautiful place like Hawaii. I have a friend and her Dad had his ashes sprinkled somewhere along the coast of Maine. (also really beautiful) My great-grandfather, who I call Poppy, by the way, is in my garden. Well, part of him. He's sprinkled in a ton of places. Poppy loved my garden and he said when he died he would like to have bit of himself near me in my garden so we could always be together. It is nice to have him there. Take care.
thankx
Keely

My hunch about the ashes buried in the garden came out - now, how to get her to dig them up? That's pretty delicate. I have to work on her desire to free Addison I suppose. And I think Mildred would be the best White Rose for the pickup.

Could that mean we shouldn't use brute force (i.e. send Jean to Keely's house) to get this piece.

According to this translator (/me bookmarks the site into her forensic links folder) eruo aries hortus ortus = "to pluck aries garden birth" or "to dig up aries garden grounds".

[EMAIL] 11/15 Keely & the Myrtle

konamouse wrote:

Hi Keely,

I had one of those long days (although mine was at the hospital).
You have a garden? Sigh. Here in Las Vegas nothing grows well
without lots of TLC, and I'm just never home enough for that. The
front yard was replaced with rocks and a few desert plants years ago.
I have a garden gnome and a couple of bunnies, though.

Would there happen to be a myrtle berries in your garden? Okay, I
know that is really going to sound weird - but you must be used to
that from me by now. I have told you most of what is going on, what
Bob (I know him as Addison) was doing this summer....he thought he was
playing a game based on secret missions, codes and cyphers....and his
kidnapping (along with 4 others who were doing the same "game").

You need to know the whole thing: The only way we are going to have
the leverage to free them from that nasty man who threatened you about
the book you gave to the red-head woman (and, by the way, thanks for
not giving her away - although she was a bit short with you, she is
trying to rescue her 14 yo foster son who is one of the five, so it
turned out that she is on our side), is to find these ceramic pieces
of a disc that I keep asking you about.

Unfortunately, we have very strong reason to believe that one of those
pieces is associated with "Poppy". I don't know why or how, but it is
quite possible it is out in your garden. You said he loved it very
much. If there are some myrtle or anything that reminds you of a ram
(unless your own astrological sign is Aries), out in your garden, then
there is a ceramic piece out there.

I have attached a picture of one of the other pieces so you know what
to look for. When you find it (I really think you will), we can
arrange for a friend to come pick it up (or you can meet her at a
neutral location).

The most important thing, though, is to avoid that nasty Mr Alan
Johnson again. He knew your greatgranddad and will hunt you down (not
realizing you are also a friend of Bob) to find that piece. In fact,
he may already know it is in your garden (there are Spoocheeeee spies
everywhere). Time and secrecy are of the essence if we want to free
Bob before that nasty megalomaniac tries something terrible. Here is a
webpage where Mr Alan Johnson teased us by taping Bob a couple of
weeks ago. http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=adewittallabouteve As
you can see, I posted a little bit of a rant so I'm probably getting
close to being on Mr Alan Johnson's hit list now. He claims that he is
holding The Five for protection, that they are dangerous. Well, you
know Bob, probably couldn't hurt a fly. And you have experienced Mr
Alan Johnson, I think you know what he is capable of. We have to move
fast to gain this leverage to Free the Five.

Thanks again for all your help in this. I'm sure once Bob is freed
there is going to be a big change at the company. And I'll owe you a
bottle of champange.

Hugs,
Heather.

Hi Heather,
This is all so weird. Okay... My great-grandfather gave me a true myrtle plant for my garden last year. He loves or rather loved the blossoms. They are beautiful. He always seemed attached to that plant for some reason. I never really thought about it but maybe it was all about this ceramic thing. (not that I have a clear handle on what "this" ceramic thing is all about) Why would Poppy put it into my garden? Maybe Poppy never wanted Mr. Johnson to have it? I can't imagine my great-grandfather being in any way associated with Mr. Johnson. That man is really horrible. I will dig around the plant and look for it. I hate to dig up too much. I don't want to hurt the plant. Its like its a bit of Poppy. I'll do it tonight.
thankx

konamouse wrote:

Keely!!!
Do this ASAP! Mr Alan Johnson is meeting with your family for dinner
tonight. We cannot let him get ahold of that piece. You are right,
Poppy did want to keep it away from Mr Alan Johnson.
I don't know if you can avoid going to dinner tonight with your family
(cause you will recognize Mr Alan Johnson and he will recognize you).
We need to get that piece away from your home ASAP cause he will know
to look in the garden and look for myrtle.
Can you access your email from another computer?
Heather

Edit to add this email that Keely sent last night but I didn't get until 7p PST tonight (after the fact).

Keely wrote:

Heather, I am not going to that dinner! Don't worry the true myrtle is at MY place, not my great-grandmother's. My Mom called me and told me about the dinner earlier today. The minute I heard Mr. Johnson's name, I knew what was going on. I am worried, if he asks about the true myrtle, that someone will tell him it is at my place! Everyone knows Poppy gave that to me! He won't hurt my family will he? Okay. This sucks. What do I do? Okay. Even if he does get someone to say it is at my place, that won't be until at least 6:30 or 7. I'm leaving work in 15 minutes. It is now 4:45. Eve said I could take off early today. I will go and dig for it but is there anywhere special I should dig? I will check my email from my home computer. I will write you in like an hour.
thankx
Keely

Sent to Cathy this afternoon

konamouse wrote:

Hi Cathy,

How did your date go?

Peeps is concerned about any of the Sammeeeees being separated from the strength they get by being all together. I hope Happy is doing okay (I think as long as she has her hat, she will stay strong).
I think we're about to find Piece #3 but Mr Alan Johnson is too close to it for comfort. Is there any way to keep him distracted through most of the night (to postpone him getting near the piece until someone else can remove it)?

Here's the problem. Remember that young lady, Keely, who works for Addison? You sorta threatened her with a gun to get the book that was in his drawer? Well, did you realize she was Elbert's great granddaughter? Yup! She knows him as Benjamine Williams and, of course, no one in his family knows about Spoocheeeee.
She is going to look for the piece (I showed her a picture of piece #2 so she knows what it looks like) but after she finds it, how to get it out of her hands and to safety before Mr Alan Johnson can get his hands on it. If you show up, I doubt she is going to trust any of us. But what about Mildred? She has to stay out of sight of Mr Alan Johnson, but I don't think Keely is going to be scared of her (as long as she doesn't mention any seance or Shadow People).

I'm hoping Keely has left work early today so she can get the piece ASAP. I'll keep you updated via this email.

Heather, I will contact Timothy and have either Mildred, Nedd or Jean Moulin take care of this. We must not let him get this piece!

[EMAIL] 11/16 Mildred Says "Piece 3 is Safe"

Mildred wrote:

Good morning to you, Heather.

Please tell the Sammeeeees that piece three is safe. Keely will be
staying with me for the time being. She is now at risk too. I
will allow Keely to give you the details of last evening. It was
quite race to the finish. I had faith that we would find it but it
was difficult. It was lucky that I remembered Elberts birth chart
and realized the piece was buried in the position of the Aries
(Ram). I don't believe that the man Elbert Benjamine or Benjamine
Williams intended for this piece to end up in the hands of
Spoocheeeee. His questions about the whereabouts of Mr. Johnson at
the seance were odd, in retrospect, perhaps were his way of feeling
out Patricia Moore and the Tall Man. To me, they were hardly
convincing as Spoocheeeees. Perhaps to Elbert Benjamine as well?
Keely will write to you all when she wakes up. I will send piece
three on to "the keeper". Thank you for your hard work,
Sammeeeees. We will save the five and the world.

I know we will meet again in the very near future.

Mildred Harnack

I've added the paragraph breaks to make it easier to read.

Keely wrote:

Hey Everybody, Mildred said you guys might want to hear about what happened last night. Did she tell you that I'm staying with her for now? She's nice but wow is she trippy. You have never seen so many crystals and native american dolls. Dolls scare me.

Okay...so, last night was unreal. As you guys know, I got home early from work and immediately started digging for this ceramic piece. I couldn't find it and it was already so dark, which didn't help me any. I tried you guys a couple times by email but nobody seemed to be around and I pretty much was losing it by 6:45.

I kept digging around but I wasn't sure how deep to dig and I was also worried about losing the plant... this is when I noticed this woman with a hat walking back and forth on the sidewalk in front of my place. She went by like (not kidding) 10 times. I was hoping she was one of you guys but I wasn't sure and she finally stopped and said her name was Betty. I asked her if she was a friend to Jenna, Heather and Jetamo and she said she was. I completely THOUGHT she was! She didn't seem like she'd be a friend to Johnson! She and dug for a few minutes together and then she started going crazy! She shoved me out of the way and began to dig up the entire plant! I screamed and shoved her away! She turned around and dove at me!

Thankfully Mildred and Nedd Ludd arrived at that moment! Nedd held this woman down, while Mildred and I dug for the piece. This Betty was so strange. She was growling at poor Nedd and bit him twice! Mildred remembered something about a ram and we dug where she said the ram's position would be in relation to the plant. And the ceramic thing was there! There was also a note from my Poppy that reads "PLEASE FORGIVE ME."

We seriously had just found it and this big black obnoxious Escalade drove up and Johnson jumped out! Nedd knocked out Betty and then Nedd and Mildred grabbed me and the piece and we ran to the back of my place! We jumped into their car and took off down the alley! Johnson tried to follow us but this Nedd completely lost him! Nedd Ludd is an amazing driver but what a goofy guy.

So, you guys have the ceramic piece. Yay! I hope this helps. I can't help but feel bad for my Poppy. I wonder why he wants to be forgiven? If you guys need me, I'm at Mildred's! Smile

Stay safe! And tell Bob I probably won't be back to work until he is!
thankx
Keely

I think she deserves to know the truth:

konamouse wrote:

Gosh, Keely. I'm sorry. I was at my computer all night waiting to
hear from you. I'm the one who got Cathy to send Mildred over to your
home to help. I had no idea that Betty would show up. She used to be
playing the game alongside Bob and the others, but something happened
to her last week and we think she has been brainwashed to help Mr Alan
Johnson. Glad you are all right.

As for the note with the ceramic piece. I'm sorry to be the one to
break this to you. Your Poppy used to work with Mr Alan Johnson's
organization. You should sit down with Mildred and have a frank
discussion about a group that has called themselves Spoocheeeee since
the Roman Empire (and now hides behind the business relationship of
Otis Worldwide). Read these two blogs:
http://theworldisours.blog.com/
http://confessionthreeeee.blogspot.com/

Poppy was high enough up in the organization to be called an "Elder"
which is why he was entrusted with that ceramic piece - it's part of
how Spoocheeeee acheived it's power to manipulate world leaders,
events, and the course of civilization. I think that later in life he
realized how wrong it was to deny the rest of the world "free will"
and wanted to make sure that this piece would never get back under the
control of Spoocheeeee. Mr Alan Johnson wants it badly so he can keep
all the power for himself.

Mildred (and Nedd) used to work for the same organization but managed
to tear themselves out from under and have been on the run from
Spoocheeeee ever since (they have a death sentence over their heads).
See, Mildred knew your Poppy. She may be a little eccentric, but it
was her seance through which Poppy was able to tell us who his family
was, and where the ceramic piece was buried. I'm sorry I didn't read
the message right - I knew it was buried in the position of Aries (the
Ram) but didn't think about the zodiac wheel being a map, I just
assumed there might have been a topiary of a Ram or a decorative
container or statuary.

Regarding Betty. We hope that she can shake off the brainwashing. I
hope neither she nor Nedd were hurt (if you see him, suggest he get a
tetnus shot).

We'll keep in touch. I know you'll want to be kept updated as we find
out more and secure Bob's release. You are now a Sammeeeee along side us. SAVE THE FIVE, SAVE THE WORLD. Although I think Poppy sent one last message this morning "FREE THE WORLD!!!!! Smile

"

Big Hugs!
Heather

Never heard back from Keely. I suppose she is still digesting all this information about her Poppy.

Mildred,
Is there a way that a picture of the third piece can be posted for all
the Sammeeeees to see it? Is there a safe place you can set up that
Mr Alan Johnson won't find it?
Thanks.

Happy Sunday to you, Heather.

I will, of course, post this for you. We can make it a safe space.
I will do this for you today. I have been busy over the last few
days preparing for a white rose operation later next week.

You and I will speak again in the very near future.
