The sun was setting and Tori was beside her van drying herself off with a towel and putting on her clothes. Since the attack she been getting crush by the waves every time. Her mind thinking about Dustin and Shane's riddles. What are they not telling me? She thought. Once dressed she jump into her van and drove to ninja ops. When there she saw that Shane, Blake and Hunter was already there but not Dustin.
"Where's Dustin," she asked the guys.
"Oh, Kel had him working on these bikes that needed to be done by tonight before he could go. He said that he'll be here when he can and that we should go ahead with the meeting," answered Hunter.
"Okay."
Cam walked in the room with his father right behind him. The four rangers sat around the table while Cam and sensei join them.
"Alright guys, I found little information about this guy Dustin was talking about and it's not much. I found that his name is Shadow and that he is the keeper of Larkus. He can control Larkus and train them to do whatever he need them to do. So we know from this that he had Larkus attack Dustin."
"For what. Did it say why he want to attack a ranger," asked Shane
"No but now he know that he must be working with Lothor to even know about us."
"Of course, Lothor would be in on this,' said Blake.
"How do we get rid of Shadow and Larkus," asked Tori.
"Good question, I don't know. So far this is all the information I have right now."
"Man, what's Lothor up to. Why only attack Dustin and not the rest of us," said Shane
"I don't know. Did Dustin say anything else about last night."
"No, but he did show me and Tor his scratches."
"Yeah and there are none,' said Tori.
"What do you mean," asked Blake.
"There's nothing. No scar, no lines, no nothing. It's like they disappeared."
"That's strange. I might have to look in on this."
Cam left the others to go to his computer to look up more information while the others talk among themselves.
"Tori may I talk to you alone," asked Blake.
"Sure."
They both got up from the table and went outside ninja ops to talk.
"What is," asked Tori.
"I was wondering why you been ignoring me lately?"
"I haven't been ignoring you. I just thought every since I broke up with you, you probably don't want to talk to me."
"But I do want to talk to you. I want to talk to you about you breaking up with me."
"Blake do we have to talk about this right now. Dustin could be in big trouble and you want to talk about me breaking up with you."
"What so you put Dustin's problem before ours."
"Well yeah. In this situation, yes I do."
"Well, I know this is important and I just want to know why you broke up me."
"Blake I told already. It wasn't working out because you was spending a lot of time training with Factory Blue and not me."
"But I can give that up I told you."
"Seriously Blake, will you honestly give up a big deal like that… for me. And if you do you will regret it and I don't want to be the cause of that. Now can we please go back and try to figure out what we can do to help Dustin out."
"Are you seeing someone else?"
"What?"
"Are you seeing someone else, it's an easy question to answer, Tor."
"No. I can't believe you would even think to ask me that question, what's wrong with you."
Tori was about to walk off until Blake cut her off.
"It's Dustin isn't it."
"What, no. I am not seeing Dustin, he is my best friend. You know that."
"Well, it's possible right. You hang around him a lot and I notice how you look at him when he's hurt. Admit it Tori you have a thing for Dustin."
Tori slapped him. She was in rage at the things that he said and wanted him to stop, but she didn't think that she would slap him for it. She put her hands over her mouth, surprised at herself mostly. Blake was rubbing his cheek and looking at Tori, who still had her hands over her mouth.
"Blake I'm sorry, I didn't mean…" as she reach over to touch Blake but he pulled away from her.
He left to go back in ninja ops leaving Tori outside. Shane was coming outside when he noticed Blake coming in.
"Hey, bro what…" but was interrupted by Blake passing him. "What's your problem.
He look outside to see Tori just standing there looking down.
"Hey Tor, what's his problem."
"It's nothing."
Tori turned around and went back into ninja ops this time leaving Shane outside confused.
