stealing. What are they going to do, arrest me?>

"We'll find a way to get the money to the store," I said. "We don't want
to even start down that path. In an emergency like this, maybe we can
grab something. But we have to make it right later. That's the rule."

David dressed quickly and Cassie and Rachel were allowed to turn around.

"About time," Rachel muttered. "I've been staring at a dead sand crab."

"You know, it would be amazing," David said.

"What would be?" I asked.

He shrugged. "Us, with our powers? We could take anything we wanted. We
could like morph into cheetahs or whatever, run into some jewelry store,
grab the diamonds, and get away at sixty

11 miles an hour. What could anyone do? We'd be outta there. Plus, we'd
morph back to humans."

"Let's do that," Marco said dryly. "Right after we figure out how to
keep the Yeerks from turning the most powerful leaders in the world into
alien-infested zombies. As soon as we're done with that, we start
ripping off jewelry stores."

"Hey, I was just kidding," David said. "I guess I forgot you're the only
one allowed to make jokes, Marco."

I glanced at Marco. Was he mad at the shot? Yes, a little. I looked at
David. He had been kidding, right?

Later I'd have to talk to Cassie about it. Cassie was a lot better at
knowing what people were thinking and feeling than I was. She'd know.
Hopefully.

In the meantime, I had to remember to treat David like any other member
of the group. It wasn't so bad that David and Marco didn't totally get
along. There were times when we all got on one another's nerves. It was
natural.

"Okay, time to get serious here," I said. "They caught us by surprise.
Maybe they know that was us scurrying around up there, maybe they don't.
But one way or the other, we have to get inside that resort and get busy."

"We have to get past the greatest security in

12 the world just to get into that place," Rachel said. "We have to go
by air. But we can't use bird-of-prey morphs. That'd be slightly
noticeable."
