Subject: Chapter Twenty Eight: Arms Robbery

Magnus was out. The spell, and the flight must have put a lot of strain on the guy. On reflex, I rush to J.T. - or rather, Jay - and conjure up a small trickle of water to wake him up with.

"Hey, Magnus, you okay?" I ask as the water drips onto his face. "Wake up, J -*URK!*"

"Splash me again," he says as he tightens the grip around my throat, "and you die."

"Sorry!" He lets go. After hacking up a lung and catching my breath, Red asks a question.

"So, now what? Do we wait for the enemy to make the first move, or do we bring the fight to it?"

"I say we should find him, and take the fight to him," I answer. "The longer we wait around for the monster to come, the more danger we're in."

"Glad to hear we're on the same page," Death Giver agreed. "But first we're gonna need weapons. Anybody got any money?"

A few people raise their hands.

"Okay. Anybody old enough to buy guns and swords and stuff?"

No one responded.

"Steal some."

"Okay," said Luis, "that's the second time in as many days that you've said something smart, Junior."

"I know," the Menace said. "It scares me too."

I hated to admit it, but the runt had a good idea. It just needs a little elaboration. "Okay then we need a plan. We'll go to the mall, the same store where Amanda got Golden Sun. Tay and Joe'll keep the clerks or whatever busy. I'll use a spell to knock out the security systems, them Junior can teleport in, get some weapons and teleport out. Sounds good?"

"What if we get caught?" I understand Menkin's worry.

"Hypnosis works wonders on people when backed by a little magic," I suggest, "we'll use that."

"Sounds good to me," said Tay.

"Yay!" cheered Junior. "I get to steel stuff! Five-finger discount!"

"I'll go for that," DG said. Even J.T. looked to be in agreement.

"Okay, that's the plan we'll go with until we can get some better weapons. To The Mall!"
