Negaduck sat in a dark room. The only light came from a TV screen. He sat, watching the evening news.
The top story was on the rebuilding of the prison and police station. Negaduck grinned wickedly to
himself.
"Idiots! Don't they know what a waist of time this all is? I'll have this city in the palm of my
hands before they even set new foundations!" He cackled madly as he watched the citizens of St. Canard
lend supplies, money and helped rebuild what was torn down. "Enjoy your time as a community, St.
Canard. When I bare down on this wretched hole of a city, it'll be every man, woman and child for
themselves!"
Negaduck turned off the TV and walked to a small window. He pulled up the shades and looked
out over the city. He smiled an evil smile as he gazed at what would soon be his. He couldn't wait to
shape the town in his own image. No one could stop him now. Not Darkwing Duck, not even the hell cat
that had teamed with him. Not that they could do anything anyway. They were both buried under the
remains of the station! Negaduck threw his head back and began laughing maniacally. It echoed around
the room and through the abandoned ware house. Even though the lackeys that stayed there with him had
heard it many times before, the sinister laugh of Negaduck would always send a chill down their spines.

When she first awoke, Raven was close to panic. She couldn't feel a thing, and for a moment,
thought she was dead. But as she looked around, she remembered where she was. She saw Gosalyn still
sleeping next to her. She smiled at the child. So sweet an innocent when she was asleep. Raven gently
moved her hair from under Gosalyn's face. She shrugged off the blanket that was around her, and tried to
stand as quietly as she could.
As Raven tried to stand, her knees locked and her ankles felt weak. She stumbled backwards,
into a pile of laundry. She looked up immediately at Gosalyn. Luckily she had not woken up. Raven
realized why she didn't feel anything. Her sleeping position had cut off the circulation to her lower legs
and her arms. She was numb from the knees and shoulders down. Raven waited a moment for feeling to
return to her body. Soon a sharp prickly sensation covered her legs and arms. Figuring it was good
enough, Raven made another attempt at leaving the room.
She made her way quietly out the door and down the stairs. The house was quiet and for a
moment she thought that no one was around. Then she remembered the blanket that had been around her
when she woke up and knew that Launchpad or Darkwing had put it there. One of them must be home.
Raven took her coat and swords from the coat rack and slipped them on. She was heading out the door
when she heard a small tired voice.
"Are you leaving?" Raven's eye widened in shock. She turned around swiftly.
"Ninyo!?!?" Her eye met Gosalyn's eyes. Raven's shoulder's slumped in disappointment. She
didn't know why she thought it had been her sister. "Good morning, Gosalyn." She said, trying to mask
the pain in her voice. "I was heading out. Gonna run by Morgana's for a shower and then look around
the city, see if there's any signs of trouble."
"Oh, ok." Gosalyn sounded disappointed. "Uhh, thanks for staying with me last night. I guess
you're not as big a psychopath as I thought you were!" Raven smiled.
"Thanks, shorty. Tell Tracy I'll be out around the town." Gosalyn nodded.
"I will. Raven?"
"Yes?"
"That was a pretty song." Raven only nodded. Gosalyn braved another question. 'Hey, Raven?
Do you like basket ball?" The question surprised Raven.
"Yeah I guess, why?"
"Uh, I was thinking, next time you weren't doing anything, if you wanted to, we could play one-
on-one. We have a hoop on the garage." Raven smiled and nodded.
"You're on shorty!" Gosalyn giggled.
"You're going down!" She grinned. Raven laughed.
"Yeah, right! Catch you later shorty." Raven opened the door and paused to put her boots on.
Before she could shut the door behind her, she heard another question.
"Who's Ninyo?" Raven froze. She felt like she had been punched in the stomach. It wasn't a
topic she had wanted to talk about with Gosalyn.
"She's....she's some one that you remind me of."
"Was she a friend of yours?" Raven turned around and looked down at the 9 year old.
"Yeah...she was. She was my....best friend." Before Gosalyn could ask anything else. Raven
hurried down the drive way and shoved her helmet on. She started up the engine and waved to the girl in
the door way before she took off.

Raven had gotten a quick shower at Morgana's, and had already gone over the entire city at least
twice. She had seen absolutely nothing. No Negaduck, no thugs, none of the other four freaks Negaduck
toted around. Nothing. Frustrated, she had turned and headed to Darkwing Tower.
The tower was empty when she got there. Raven opened the city scan program on the computer,
trying to find anything she missed. Not a thing. She nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard a
small beeping noise. It took Raven a few seconds to realize it was coming from her pocket, and not the
computer. She pulled the communicator from her jacket pocket. It took her a moment to figure out how it
worked, but eventually she was able to get it.
"Inari? It's Darkwing. Where are you?"
"I'm at the tower, something up, Tracy?"
"Not a thing. You find anything?"
"No, the city's clean." Darkwing let out a heavy sigh.
"Right, LP and I will be over in a while. I'm gonna drop Gos off at Morgana's house. She's been
bugging me to take her along. I want to make sure she says put."
"She's only 9!" Raven exclaimed.
"Yes, I know. She doesn't think it's too young. Head strong little thing."
"Wonder where she got that from." Raven muttered after they had ended communication.
A while later, Launchpad and Darkwing showed up. Still nothing had come up on the screens.
Darkwing and Launchpad hadn't seen anything on the way there.
"If only we knew what his next move would be!" Darkwing slammed his fist down on the
computer table.
"He's obviously bent on taking out the city." Raven commented. Lauchpad smirked.
"Too bad the tax people at City Hall can't find it in their hearts to shell out extra cash to get the
police equipment up and running again."
"Yeah, the radio would be handy right about now." Darkwing agreed. Suddenly, Raven's eye
flew open.
"That's it!" She shouted. They both looked at her.
"What's it?" They asked in unison.
"What Launchpad said!" Darkwing rolled his eyes.
"Forget it! The only fund money you can get out of those blood suckers is either for the roads, or
for hiring more tax workers!"
"No! Not about the money! About City Hall!" Darkwing and Launchpad looked at her
quizingly. "Don't you get it? Negaduck's already taken out the prison so he could get an army. He took
out the police station so they wouldn't get in his way. He's after the city so next he'll go after City Hall!
With that out of the way there's no authority in the town what so ever!" Darkwing jumped up.
"Of course! If he's running the town it'd be easier to get more people to work for him. Then it'd
be easier for him to take the state, then the country,"
"Then the world." Raven finished for him. Darkwing nodded.
"Get the Thunder Quack ready, LP. We've got to evacuate that building before Nedaduck shows
up!"

They arived at City Hall moments later. The mayor and other city officals had a hard time
understanding why they should leave. But after explaining what happened at the station and the prision.
They understood immediately.
"We can't just let them leave." Raven said. "If they go out the main exits, Negaduck's crew might
see them and open fire or follow them home. It's not the building they want as much as the people
themselves." Darkwing turned to Launchpad.
"Find a drain outlet to the sewer. Make sure these people get home safe." Launchpad never
made it out of the door.
"Not so fast! It'd be a lot easier for me to wipe you all out if you were all in the same building."
Negaduck stood in the door way. He had an army of convicts with him. He smiled wickedly and
moved his eyes around the room. They came to a dead halt when they fell on Darkwing and then Raven.
He hadn't even seen them when he came it. His eye's glowed in rage.
"Why won't you die!?!?!?!?!?!" Raven grinned just as wickedly and drew her swords.
"I was waiting for you to go first, demon!" Negaduck seemed close to hysterics. He narrowed his
eyes and gazed hatefully at Raven.
"Your face...your kind...I've seen it before...." Raven's faced filled with hate.
"You saw it on the faces of the people of Niwa-en that you slaughtered! You saw it on the face of
my family that you killed!!!" Negaduck laughed, darkly.
"Oh, did you have relations there? So sorry!" Raven growled, enraged to her breaking point.
She started after Negaduck, but Darkwing grabbed the back of her jacket in time.
"Are you nuts? Those thugs are armed to the teeth! You wouldn't make it 5 feet!" Despite the
feelings raging in side her, Raven managed to hold back. Negaduck sighed, annoyance clogged his voice.
"I hate long drawn out conversations. So if you don't mind, I have some people to kill and a city
to crush. Pardon me."
The army of cons rushed in. Raven and Darkwing found themselves throwing punches and kicks
in all directions. Launchpad was doing his best to get the city officals out of the building. He was blocked
by gun toting men. In the confusion, no one seemed to notice the news vans that pulled up out side.

"We're here live at City Hall on what looks like World War 3! The city officals have been
trapped inside and are being held hostage. We can't talk to any one in side, so we don't know for sure
what the reason is."
"Idiotic media! Don't they know what kind of danger they're in?" Gosalyn sat starring at the
brave, yet brain dead reporter covering the story. Her and Morgana looked on in horror at the scene
unfolding on the television.
"Dark's in there..."
Morgana spoke absently. Fear was gripping at her heart. She didn't hear the door slam shut
until it was too late. She jumped up and ran to the walk way of the house. Gosalyn was already a good
distance away, heading for City Hall.
"GOSALYN!!!" Morgana's cry didn't reach the girl. The faint shimmer surrounded Morgana
again and she was gone. She had to reach the scene before Gosalyn did.

A brutish duck fell back wards as Raven's fist crushed his face. She grabbed the gun he held in
his hands and made her way the side hall door. Launchpad was waiting by the side of the hall way with
the hostages. Raven handed him the gun. He didn't want it at first, but took it as Raven shoved it into his
hands. She stood infront of the hallway and quickly sent a wave of energy flying at the cons blocking the
door. They were thrown back through the doorway.
"Get them out of here! Fast!" Raven snapped at Launchpad. He could only swallow, but bravely
escorted the officals from the building. Raven turned around, only to see Negaduck blocking her path. A
murderous look grossed both their faces.
"You're gonna pay for that sweet heart!"
He reached into his jacket to draw a gun. Before he could get to it a jolt on energy hit him in the
chest, knocking him a good 30 feet across the room. He smashed into a wall and fell to the floor.
Negaduck lifted himself from the floor and shook his head. He looked around the room, his men were not
in a good position. Darkwing and Raven were better fighters than he had given them credit for.
Negaduck decided a wrecked building was better than nothing. He grabbed a dart gun from a body that
lay uncontious on the floor. He wasted no time in bolting up the stairs.
Raven drew her swords and followed. Darkwing watched her go. He didn't feel safe leaving the
thugs, but he knew what would happen if Raven got a hold of Negaduck. She had opened up so much.
He couldn't let her throw that away for revenge. He threw a smoke bomb into the crowed of cons and in
the disarray, followed Negaduck and Raven up the stairs.
The hallway was empty when Raven got to the top of the stairs. A sound from the end of the hall
way drew her attention. She saw the door to the roof was swinging open.
"Prepare for death, demon!" She hissed as she made her way down the hallway.
Raven ran out onto the roof. She saw Negaduck standing by the edge of the building, a
triumphant smile on his face. The dart gun gleamed dangerously in his hand.
"You lose Cyclops!" He yelled. "I'm not sure how in the hell you survived those other times, but
this time, you die!" Raven drew closer to him. He didn't even bother to stop her, he was confident he had
already won.
"I swore I'd see your blood spill, demon!" Raven called as she drew nearer and nearer. "I won't
rest until I do!" Negaduck smirked.
"Silly me." He taunted. "I guess I should have done the sensible thing and taken this place out
first. But I just had to go for a build up." He nodded over his shoulder at a worn out old ware house.
"Funny though, all I would have had to do was open up the window and fire. No one would have
suspected a hide out to be so close to City Hall." Negaduck laughed. A sudden cry startled them both.
"Inari!"
Darkwing bounded out onto the roof. His entrance temporarily distracted Negaduck. Raven took
the opportunity. She dropped her swords and lunged at Negaduck. He tried to dodge to the side, but it
was too late. Raven snatched the gun from his hand. He stood in terror as Raven aimed the gun at his
face. Her finger slowly moved on the trigger.
"Inari! No!" Darkwing shouted. He feared that Raven's hate would destroy them all.
With one quick motion, Raven pointed the gun to the side. She pulled the trigger and watched
the dart fly. The foundation shook for a brief moment, before the old ware house crumbled to the ground.
Negaduck starred at what used to be his hide out in disbelieve. He came to his senesces and whirled
around to face Raven.
"Good shot. Too bad a good hide out isn't hard to find. I, on the other hand, am difficult to
catch!" With that he leapt off the building.
Raven chucked the dart gun to the side and put away her blades. She walked to the side of the
building and as Darkwing watched in horror, leapt off. He looked over the roof in time to see Raven grab
onto a flag pole and jump safely to the ground. Darkwing decided to take the safe way and dashed off the
roof, back through the hallway.

After the explosion, the news crew had taken off to investigate the new story. The thugs had run
out after the smoke cleared, and into the remaining cars of the police. They were hauled off to be held at a
neighboring town's prison.
Gosalyn ran onto the scene. She headed straight for the building. The front door was just in sight
when she ran into Morgana's waiting arms.
"Calm down, Gosalyn. He'll be alright." Gosalyn struggled to break free. The both of them
froze in shock when Negaduck hit the ground. He got up and rubbed his back.
"I'm outta here!" He mumbled.
Before he could make it an inch, Raven landed on her feet right infront of him. Before Negaduck
could get away, Raven picked him up and hurled him into the side of the building. He was momentarily
stunned as his head hit the wall. Raven leapt forward with great force. She pinned him to the wall and
drew her swords. She held one to his throat and the other above his eye.
"Eye for an eye, demon!" She hissed. "Then a life for a village!" She raised the blade, ready to
plunge it into his eye. Darkwing ran out of the building, he noticed Gosalyn and Morgana first, Raven
second.
"Inari! Wait!" Darkwing pleaded. Raven roared out in anger.
"Stay out of this!" She screamed. Fire raced through Raven's body. All she could see was blood.
But her hearing was still there, and she could here the gentle voice call to her again, soothing her as it had
so many times before.
"Raven, please!" Morgana begged. "I know he killed your family, and I've felt the great pain
you are in. But this isn't right, this isn't you! You're not a killer! Revenge is below you Raven! You
don't have to do this!" Tears flowed from Raven's eye.
"He took all I had in the world! The only people I loved, he killed them! How can I let him
live!" Morgana spoke softly.
"Think about them, Raven! Think of your family! What would your father say? He always told
you that violence and destruction were two of the greatest evils! Would he want his daughter to be taken
over by them? Don't let your heart be poisoned, Raven! There is good in you! Don't let anger and hate
take it away! How long can you live on rage? How long do you think you'd survive with it eating you
from the inside out? It'll kill you Raven! Destroy it before it destroys you!"
Raven starred into the face of the person she hated the most on the earth. His dark eyes reflected
his evil soul. Memories and feelings swirled inside of Raven. She saw her family, safe and warm on a
summer's night. She saw herself bringing the back of her fist down on Darkwing, an innocent man who
was trying to up hold the law. She saw her mother's head, skewered to the wall. She saw her sister fall to
the floor, calling Raven's name. She felt the horrid pain of her eye being torn out. She felt the emptiness
of her soul. She felt Morgana's warm hands hugging her when she was in pain. She saw Gosalyn
sleeping peacefully in her bed. She saw Gosalyn hiding behind her father, in fear of the monster that
stood over her. What had she become?
Squad cars had re grouped at the building. Officers covered the area, watching the figures on the
wall. Waiting for one of them to make a move. Negaduck grinned wickedly. If he was going out, she
would go down.
"Go ahead Raven!" His voice was full of menace. "I killed your family! Have your revenge! Just
think of how good it'll feel to slide that blade into my neck! You hate me, and I hate you! I would have
killed you if I had the chance! Go ahead! Destroy the demon that took away your loved ones!" With hate
in her eye, Raven raised the blade. It came down swiftly. It stood less than an inch from Negaduck's eye,
when the small voice called out, freezing Raven again.
"Raven?" Gosalyn said softly, it was hard for the child to believe what she was seeing and
hearing. The sound of her voice shot straight to Raven's brain.
Time stood still. The officers were at the ready. Darkwing looked on with Gosalyn and
Morgana. Two mortal souls hung by a thin thread. Raven starred at Negaduck for what felt like eternity.
She narrowed her eye, and lowered her blades.
"No." She said finally. Negaduck could hardly believe it.
"What?" He shrieked. Raven's eye never left his face.
"You took away my family, my life. You took away our village. You took away innocent human
lives. But I won't let you take my humanity! Love and pain can be felt forever, but hate only lasts as long
as its vessel can sustain it. And I can't sustain it much longer. I've let you chip away at my soul piece by
piece for too long now! I'm not letting hatred and anger take my life away, Negaduck! I'm letting go!"
She dropped her blades and watched Negaduck fall to the ground. She stepped back and watched
as the police drew onto him. Raven sheathed her blades, and turned away. Morgana, Gosalyn and
Darkwing smiled warmly at her. She returned the smile in earnest. Launchpad came running up.
"Sorry I took so long, what happened?" Darkwing laughed.
"Not much, LP." He smirked.
Negaduck couldn't believe what had happened. He glared at the girl. How dare she walk away?!
He broke away from the officers trying to cuff him. He pulled the revolver from his jacket and screamed.
"YOUR PAIN AND SUFFERING ISN'T OVER YET!!!"
He aimed the gun, not at Raven, but squarely at Gosalyn. Raven turned in time to see him aim.
Horror struck her. She dashed forward as fast as she could.
"Not again, demon!" She screamed.
She lunged on him before he could fire. He had a tight grip on the handle of the gun. Raven was
gripping the barrel. They struggled for a few minuets. With our warning the gun went off. Raven's eye
flew open in surprise. She let go of the gun and stepped back. The police jumped on Negaduck and
secured him in hand cuffs before he could move. Raven turned from the sight of Negaduck being dragged
away, kicking and screaming. She faced Morgana, Gosalyn, Darkwing and Launchpad. She was holding
her hand to her chest.
"Raven? Are you all right?" Morgana asked in a frightened voice.
Raven didn't answer. She removed her hand from her chest, revealing the mass of blood that was
dripping from the gun shot wound. She starred silently at the four for a moment. Her knees hit the
ground first, followed by the rest of her body. She slumped over on her side. Her one eye lid fell.
"RAVEN!!!"
Gosalyn broke free from Morgana's grasp and ran to Raven. She turned her over on her back and
looked at her face. It was blank. No frown, no smile, nothing. Gosalyn began to sob as she shook Raven
by the shoulders.
"Wake up! Wake up Raven! You have to wake up! You promised you'd play basket ball with
me! Remember! Wake up, Raven, please wake up!"
Morgana put her hand on Gosalyn's shoulder. Morgana's face was wet with tears. Gosalyn
ripped her self away and threw her head on Raven's jacket. Tears flowed from her eyes as if they would
never stop. Darkwing and Launchpad removed their hats. Darkwing bent down and held Morgana as she
cried on his shoulder.
"She was a good person. She doesn't deserve this!" Darkwing tried his best to comfort her.
"She's with her family now, Morg." Gosalyn spoke, her words muffled in the jacket.
"She wasn't mean after.....we were going to.....I wanted to hear more about Japan. She never
even told me about her family...she said her eye was lost in a...." A new wave of sobs racked Gosalyn's
body. Launchpad shook his head. He had been afraid of her. But he didn't want this. A solitary tear slid
down Darkwing's cheek.
"Hey shorty...you're getting salt water on the leather..."
Darkwing, Morgana and Launchpad turned at the sound. Gosalyn looked up in shock. Raven's
eye was open half way and a weak smile some how made it's way across her face. Gosalyn's voice
quivered.
"Raven?" Raven was straining to talk.
"Barely..." Darkwing snapped out of his shock and ran to the Rat Catcher to radio an ambulance.
Gosalyn smiled and threw her arms around Raven as best she could.
"Raven! You're alive!"
"Hey I promised we'd shoot hoops didn't I?" Raven winced in pain. "Ah, shorty, watch the
chest." Gosalyn stood up as Darkwing raced back. He took his cape off and put it over Raven, as he had
the officer. He smiled as he talked, trying to hid the worry in his voice.
"All right Inari. An ambulance is on the way. You're not leaving us, I forbid it!" Raven looked
up at him, the weak smile still on her face.
" Tracy, stop calling me Inari. Raven'll do." Darkwing smirked.
"Tell you what. Stop calling me Tracy, and I'll stop calling you Inari."
"Deal." Raven turned her head slightly to face Morgana. "Morg, thanks for..." Morgana held
her hand over Raven's mouth.
"Shhh. Stop talking and save your strength."
Morgana smiled and took Raven's hand. Red lights flashed over the scene as the ambulance
pulled up. The medics jumped out with a stretcher. They lifted Raven gently and placed her onto the
stretcher. As they loaded her into the ambulance, a medic began inspecting the wound. The four could
hear him comment as the doors were closed.
"Man, that bullet was just a hair away from her heart!" Before they left for the hospital, Morgana
turned to Darkwing smiling. Tears where still running down her cheeks.
"I told you she had a heart!"

The ball bounced on the edge of the basket before it fell in. Gosalyn caught it before it could hit
the ground. She raced around and threw again. The ball hit the side of the basket and bounced off. It hit
the ground once before Raven caught it.
"I thought you said you were good at this, shorty!" Gosalyn stuck her toung out.
"Like you're some pro!" Raven laughed. She aimed the ball and watched it swish through the
hoop. She retrieved the ball and leaned over Gosalyn, her face inches from hers.
"HA!" Gosalyn snickered and stole the ball, dodging behind her.
"Ha, yourself!"
Drake and Morgana watched from the back porch. Morgana sat silently on the porch swing with
Drake, she leaned into him and rested her head on his shoulder. Her hair hung loosely over his chest.
Wayward strands floated in the breeze, brushing against Drake's face. He smiled and kissed her head.
"You're doing that on purpous!" He teased. Morgana smiled. Her eyes rested on the two in the
driveway chasing after the ball. Drake followed her gaze. He sighed heavily. "I hate to break them up,
but it's getting late." Morgana lifted her head and brushed Drake's cheek with her hand.
"Can't Gos stay out a little longer?" She pleaded. Drake laughed.
"You're beginning to sound like Gosalyn!" He shook his head, smiling. "I'd let her, but she has
school tomorrow." Morgana nodded and let Drake stand up. He walked toward the drive way, catching
the ball as it bounced in his direction.
"Time for bed, Gos." Both Gos and Raven frowned.
"Aw, dad!" They both whined in unison. Drake narrowed his eyes at Raven and threw the ball
at her.
"Don't you start!" He warned. She laughed and caught the ball, tossing it to Gosalyn.
"Go on, shorty. You can beat me some other time!" Gosalyn grinned. Before she went inside
she turned and hugged Raven.
"Good night." She said. Raven smiled down at her.
"Good night, shorty." Gosalyn picked the ball up again and dashed into the house from the back
porch.
"Good night, Morgana." She called on her way in. Morgana gasped in mock insult.
"No hug for me?" Gosalyn doubled back and hugged Morgana quickly before she ran to her
room. Raven watched her go. She looked at the house for a moment before she joined Morgana and
Drake on the porch. Out of no where Raven hugged Morgana tightly.
"Thanks for every thing, Morgana." Morgana smiled and hugged her back.
"Any time." Raven pulled away. She took Drake's hand and shook it.
"Thank you too, Darkwing."
"No problem." He smiled. They watched in surprise as Raven walked down the drive way to
where her motorcycle was. She rolled it back around and spoke one last time.
"Tell LP I said good bye. Gosalyn too..." She slung her swords over her back and held her
helmet in her hands. She grinned. "Maybe I'll catch you guys again some time." She was about to put
her helmet on when Morgana jumped up and ran to her.
"Raven, what are you saying? You're not leaving St. Canard are you?" Raven nodded.
"I'm done here. May as well move on." Morgana opened her mouth to protest. Raven silenced
her. "Look, I found myself again, thanks to you all. But I have nothing else here. I can't thank you all
enough, but it's time I moved on."
"To where?" Morgana asked. Desperation clung to her voice. "What else is out there for you?
An empty home? A lonely world? Stay here, Raven!"
"I just feel like I should be where I'm needed." Raven explained. "You guys don't need me any
more." Drake spoke angrily.
"If you think that you're either stupid or blind! There's a girl up there who idolizes you! You
saved her life! You think she's just going to forget about that?" Drake sighed before he continued. "This
city is hard and cold. Crime runs rampant around the streets. Some times I think it's too much for LP
and I to handle. We could always use an extra hand. We could use some one with a strong heart and a
just soul. Some one to help us protect the innocent, and punish the wicked." He held his hand out to
Raven. "What do you say?" Raven looked at his hand for a moment, unsure of herself. Morgana spoke to
her softly.
"Defending the righteous and fighting the wrong. I don't think there are many jobs out there that
your father could be prouder of you for taking!" Raven smiled. She looked at Drake and grinned.
"I have to warn you, I can have a short temper sometimes!" Drake looked at her in mock
surprise.
"NO!" He said sarcastically. Raven laughed. She slapped her hand into Drakes and shook it.
"You're on, Tracy!"
