Eighteen months later

Wylie looked out of the window of the car. The rolling hills of Britshire, England were rushing past him. Linh laughed, Tam was hanging his head out of the window and imitating a dog. His hair whipped him in the face and only caused Linh to laugh harder.

"I hate to be the voice of reason her guys but we have a mission," said Wylie.

"Right, the mission," said Linh.

"You do realize that if they found out, Tiergan and Della are going to kill us," stated Tam.

"They'll only catch us if we get caught," argued Linh. Who had become serious again and was sorting through their equipment for the night.

It had been almost a year and a half since the night when they had found the camera, the night Fitz had died, the night when Biana had been discovered. Since then the Periculos had moved underground, only a handful of attacks since then. School had been reinstated six months after and Wylie Linh and Tam were finishing their last year.

Dex and his program were the primary reason that the Periculos had gone underground. They had identified all the known members, the more surprising being Leto Forkle, Grady and Edaline Ruewen. Other people had been confirmed as members that Wylie had no trouble believing, Quan and Mai Song, Alden, Emery, Cadence, and Alina. The police had been making some efforts to capture them but he had his work cut out for him. So, Wylie, Linh, and Tam had decided to help him out. Against the wishes of their parents.

Wylie pulled into the parking complex at the end of the street. Linh and Tam got out of the car and started to gear up. Walkie-talkies attached to their belts, backpacks filled with the traps and cameras, and of course Throwing stars for Linh. She had gotten quite good at them in the past eighteen months and could probably take on anyone. They had all been practicing their martial arts and they had been getting quite good.

They got to the entrance of the candy store with no problems. The street was clear of people, after all, it was the middle of the night. Wylie opened the door, the bell jingled, but there was no one in the store. Linh raised her eyebrows in confusion. Surely they had to have posted someone to keep watch. They had police searching for them. Tam walked further into the store, flashlight shining over the glass countertops and old candy. His light shone on one corner where Gethen was smiling.

"Why hello there," he said. "Come to play?"

"Maybe they're here because they want to have their butts handed to them," said another voice from behind the counter. Wylie shone his light at them, it was Brant, beside him Ruy and Calla popped up from behind the counter. They walked out from the counter and stood next to Gethen.

Gethen picked up a broom from beside him.

"May the fight begin."

Gethen and Brant came at Wylie, he wished that he had taken something else other than the rope. They hadn't been expecting this many people. Maybe two, not four. Gethen brought the broom down a Wylie, he lunged and the broom struck the floor with a bang. Wylie landed a punch near Brant's shoulder, but it didn't seem to phase him. Gethen raised the broom again. This time it looked like he was going to for Wylie's legs. Wylie tried to grab the broom out of his hands but only succeeded in nudging it, knocking Gethen's swing to where Brant was standing. It his legs and knocked him to his back on the floor. All it took was a kick to his head to knock him out. Gethen didn't seem shocked that Brant was down. It was obvious that these people were not the best fighters, probably newer recruits. Wylie punched Gethen in the chest and he stumbled back, winded Wylie took this opportunity to grab the broom from his hands and hit him over the head with it. Gethen fell onto the floor, knocked out.

Ruy lunged at Linh. She kicked him in the stomach. He retaliated by kneeing her knee, or at least trying to, she caught his knee and twisted it back. He fell back on the floor and fell unconscious.

Tam and Calla were fighting just as hard, she was clawing at his face with her fingernails. He was trying to gain leverage but she was a better fighter than he was and it looked like she was going to win. She raised her foot to kick his head and was pulled back a few inches by a throwing star pinning her to the wall, right on Jensi's face. Brant rose on shaky legs, coming towards Wylie with increasingly fierce breaths.

"You are going to pay for that Endal," he snarled. Linh looked at him, she mouthed You want me to star him?

"Nah," he said, "I think I can handle him." Linh shrugged as if to say- your fight- and continued to help Tam. Wylie turned back to Brant. He was still trying to regain his footing, it was coming quickly much to the disappointment of Wylie. He punched Brant in the arm, but Brant dodged and landed a punch to his stomach. Wylie doubled over and used the opportunity to kick Brant behind his knees. Brant crumpled to the ground and Wylie grabbed behind him and found a broom. He struck Brant over the head with it and he fell down to the ground.

Wylie took in the scene in front of him, Linh and Tam were tying up Brant, Gethen, Ruy and, Calla. The candy store was trashed, the glass display cabinets and artfully arranged candy were all destroyed in the fight. Even the picture of Jensi on the wall had a big hole through his face. Tam had scratched on his face.

"So much for Della and Tiergan not noticing," he said when Linh was bandaging some of the more major scratches. Wylie picked up his phone and called the police, they couldn't take these guys in by themselves

"Hello, Britshire Police department? I've got some people here that you might like to pick up."

The police arrived a few minutes later. Wylie, Linh, and Tam had finished tying up the members of the Periculos. Gethen and Ruy had come to but the others were still out cold. Cassius walked into the store and took in the scene around him.

"Well then," he said, a look of shock on his face. "I'm impressed. Not just anyone could have taken on three members of the Periculos."

"It was nothing, sir. All for the good of Britshire."

"Good, then you'll understand why I have to do this." Cassius punched Wylie in the face. He grabbed Gethen, Ruy, Brant and, Calla and they took off into the night.
