Regulus paced back and forth in front of the cupboard, reaching into his pocket with a shaky hand. He pulled out a tarnished locket and sighed. This was for the best, it really was even though he felt as if he were standing on the edge of an abyss, ready to take a plunge.
Everything was ready – hopefully the two people Dumbledore had picked to go find Sirius weren't idiots and could follow simple instructions to get into the house. With Bella, Rabastan, Rodolphus and the Dark Lord distracted by their attack on Godric's Hollow, the 'rescue' should go easily. If it had been possible, Regulus would have found a way for Sirius to leave himself, but the Lestranges had gone and done a good one on him just before leaving.
Regulus shook his head and crouched down before the cupboard and opened it. He cleared his throat and tried to get his mask under control.
"M-M-Master Regulus…" Kreacher crawled out a little, bowing slightly.
"Kreacher, I need you to take me to where you went with the Dark Lord. I forbid you to tell any of my family what happens," Regulus commanded and stood. He stuck his hand out for the house-elf to take.
