"Naturally not," said Joseph. All of a sudden, Victor also came to a gruesome end. Aria and Joseph high-fived. Then they buried the corpses in the garden.
But Jolee had already awoken. She had been waiting for an instant to save their lives. She didn't know, but Ming was thinking of a plan too. And still, Joseph was awake! Almost at once, Aria arrived. Victor looked up in surprise and...
''Where could she be?'' asked Ming. Then they all heard the doorbell ring. Jolee jumped up. ''I'll get it!'' But when she opened the door, no one was there.
''I got home OK, but as I was walking, there was this girl, and I was just looking at her, for, like, you know, a second, and I fell in a ditch, which was umm, full of glass, so,'' panted Ming. ''Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm...'' went Jolee and her dad.
The SUV roared backwards as she pressed her foot on the accelerator and crunched into a tree. She pushed it into geared then rolled forward, almost crushing the men. Jolee drove across a bridge and could hear the angry shouts of the men behind her.
Ming stared up at Aria, tears staining his face, his jaw hanging slack with wonder. "We're free?"
"Yes," Aria answered simply. "Now how do we get out of here?"
Joleen gave no answer. She was busy running her fingertips along the edges of the wall, searching for a break, a seam, a...
''The fibers of a pikachu,'' Jolee replied calmly. ''A WHAT?!'' Victor roared. Jolee sneaked a wink at Ming. She had always known this would come in handy.

''Ming, can you tell me anything about this place?'' asked Jolee. ''No, I have no idea why,'' replied Ming. ''Strange,'' Jolee murmured. ''What? said Ming. Jolee said, ''And they wanted Aria too.'' Ming suddenly knew why.
Opal suddenly stopped the car but did nothing. ''Well, aren't you going anywhere?'' asked Aria. ''No.'' said Opal. The men had gotten out of the car and were walking towards them. A man opened the door and Opal said: ''Here's package number three.''
The car bumped down a dirt road. Ming knew it was pointless to escape, so he gave up trying. Suddenly the bag was whipped off his head, but when he looked out he saw...
Jolee had no idea what kind of people had Ming. ~~~ ''Quiet. And no moving around.'' The man tied Ming up in a strong rope. ''Let's see who can find you first.''
Jolee squeezed the jet tight in her hand and her heart was beating hard. She jumped quickly to the closest man. Slashing randomly, she leaped and smashing the jet in his head knocked him unconscious. Two other figures briskly walked forward, but Jolee was too fast for them. She yelled ''RUN!''...
