Ch. 1: Pleading with Muir

Six days have passed since the disaster at the dance. Wally pleaded guilty and is sentenced to six months in Juvey, and is to receive counseling. The J-Teens are at Section 13, except for Colleen.

"I can't believe poor Wally got six months in Juvey," Drago said, "He doesn't seem like the type who belongs there."

"Chill, D-Dude," ice assures him, "Juvey ain't so bad. Besides, his lawyer got him counseling and he can continue schoolwork so he won't be behind."

"Plus side, Mikey has received his just desserts," Cody stated, "He got suspended for a week; same with the girls."

"Tell me about it. My ma totally came down on Stacey. She forbade her from having any contact with her group. The Popular Posse is no more yo."

"For real, Ice?" Chrissie asks.

"Yep. Stace had been crying all night."

"We seem to be missing one J-Teen," Drago said as he looked around, "Where's Colleen?"

"I thought I saw her in the elevator going down to where the cells are," Hsi Wu answered.

"I think I know whose cell she's going to."

Colleen made it to the sub-basement where Muir's cell is. She slowly walks across the hallway until she finds herself in front of Muir in gray prison clothes and in his secured cell with a combo padlock only Captain Black knows.

"Nice to see you again, My love," Muir seductively said.

Colleen just jeers at him.

"I missed you. Yearning for you even."

"Cut the small talk, Muir! My friend Wally is in Juvey thanks to you!" Colleen yells.

"Oh. You're upset. Why have you come down?"

"I want to know who else you infected with demon powers, so I can save them! Muir, I'll do anything to save the other kids. Just name it."

"Well I can't seem to remember. However, my memory may come back if you do me two favors."

"What?"

"Let me out of this cell, and say you will marry me."

Colleen is unsure of that deal. Drago suddenly comes in and heard the offer.

"Over my dead body I'd let her agree to something like that!" he yells.

"This is not your concern, Halfbred!" Muir yells back.

"It's been my concern since you gave kids my family's powers. We'll find the other kids without your help! Come on, Colleen."

He takes Colleen by the hand, leaving Muir to growl in frustration.

"Colleen, we'll save the other kids, but you shouldn't talk to Muir," Drago lectured, "He's unstable."

"Sorry, Drago," Colleen apologized, "I just don't want anyone to end up like Wally. Speaking of which, I can't wait to yell at Mikey for what he did. I don't know how, but I'm gonna make his four years of high school very miserable."
