I was flying my personalized helicopter. It was designed and made by me, of course. Before I left I got Mrs. Grossman to watch over Red. It was a new moon tonight, plus it was still daylight, so it was OK. I got to the mansion and I hoped everyone was in their positions. I entered and saw the same ballroom Noel and I were in the night before. Everything was cleared out though. So it was just me, Maximus and his lackeys. Maximus stood there proudly, to his right: Ares, Cleo, and Malakai. To his left, The ones they called Pandora and Cerberus. Cerberus was the only new face I saw here. He looked like an athletic goth kid, if that makes sense. Their appearances don't seem to give anything away for their powers. Pandora was holding that box mighty close though.
Maximus greeted me, "Dexter! So glad you could join us! Not that you had a choice." The kids were snickering. I grunted, not impressed. Cleo's tiara was glowing a little. Pointless trying to read my mind. I said, "Where's Noel?" He smiled. "Oh, Let's not talk about her. Let's talk about your new employment in my company."
Meanwhile downstairs.......
"Sir! Sir! We have a situation down here!" "Its useless! Our Communications are blocked! I can't even talk to you on the communicators!" They were in the lobby, fighting skeletons. All the while trying to pass out by the nerve gas, someone threw in here. They couldn't see anything. In the end Each one was knocked out and shoved into a closet. Grossman came through the gas. "Coast is clear guys. We'll keep the security detail busy, you search the building for Noel. Remember, the guards can't talk to each other, thanks to this EMP Transmitter. Now get goin!"
