rebounded quickly and now sat on the edge of the bed, listening carefully.

тАЬStop them from taking over the world,тАЭ Kendall replied.

тАЬYou mean, like mad-scientist-take-over-the-world?тАЭ Chrissy chided, not even trying to hide a smirk.

тАЬCute, DuPries. Did you think that up all by yourself? Or did you swipe it off the netly news?тАЭ

Chrissy got ready to say something very original, and no doubt very nasty, but held herself at my

тАЬIтАЩd like to come, Deborah,тАЭ Chrissy interrupted.

тАЬSorry, but no.тАЭ I shook my head, despite my great desire to have her close. тАЬAs the lieutenant said,
they know the presence of loved ones slows down a Pisces action. They would use you against me.тАЭ

тАЬNo, we wouldnтАЩt!тАЭ Kendall snapped.

I looked at her in disbelief. тАЬCondition two: I will choose how I will arrive. Meet both those conditions
and I will attend your meeting.тАЭ
