An Unlikely Team
Chapter Twelve: Wade's Call
Everything in the Long residence was silent. No one spoke except for an occasional condolence to Mrs. Long or Lao Shi. Haley had been sent up to bed with no knowledge of what had happened to her brother. Suddenly, Mrs. Long stood up, not able to bear it any longer.
"What do you three think you're doing?"
"Excuse me?" said Kim.
"You're just sitting there, not even trying to help him! He's your grandson, for Pete's sake!" She directed this comment at Lao Shi.
"Listen, I am just as worried about Jake as you are, but there is nothing we can do until Wade calls back with his location."
"You could look!"
"Daughter, he could be anywhere."
"I don't care! Look everywhere!"
Tears filled the elderly man's eyes, but his voice remained steady. "Darling, I promise you, if there was anything we could do, we would do it. Do you not understand? Jake was on my watch when he was kidnapped. Does that not make you think that I am upset? I feel as if it is my fault that Jake's life is in danger."
At his words, Mrs. Long let out a small gasp followed by a series of sobs that cut through the old man's heart.
"I'm sorry," he said, touching his daughter tenderly on her shoulder. "I only pretended not to be so worried for you. I know that you love Jake dearly... as do I. I may seem hard on the outside, but I really am worried more than you can possibly imagine. But do not worry. I sent Fu Dog to the magical black market to do some spying. He should be back anytime... maybe he will have some information for us."
They all sat in silence for a while when the doorbell rang. Kim, seeing that Mrs. Long was too distressed to get it, and that Lao Shi was busy comforting his daughter, ran to get it. There stood Fu Dog on the front porch.
"Oh, good," said Kim sarcastically, who was expecting someone of a bigger help, or maybe, she thought, in a corner of her mind, Jake himself. "It's the talking dog."
"Back off, Kimmy," he said, letting himself in. He walked into the living room where he saw Lao Shi and his daughter, as well as Ron, who had fallen asleep and was snoring loudly. "Hey, Gramps," he said. "I think I might have found out something that'll help you." He continued at Lao Shi's inquiring look. "Okay, while I was at the magical black market, I saw the Huntsgirl. She went up to a potions shop and came out with a power-stealing potion! A whole bottle of it! And you know what that means, if they give him the whole thing..."
"We must act fast," Lao Shi said, standing up.
Kim shook Ron awake, who screamed, "NO MORE MONKEYS!" before saying, "Oh, hi Kim. Is Jake back yet?"
"We must go and make a potion," Lao Shi said to Mrs. Long. "That is all I can say for now, but I will contact you as soon as we find out anything." And with that, Ron, Kim, Lao Shi, Rufus, and Fu Dog left for the electronics shop where Lao Shi kept many magical things.
"So what is this potion we're making for?" Kim asked.
"No, Fu Dog and I are making the potion, and you and Ronald are waiting for Wade to call with Jake's location."
"But what is it for?" Kim asked.
Lao Shi sighed. "It is a reverse potion for the power-stealing potion. When we find Jake, we must give it to him. If they only gave him half of the other, it will have taken away his dragon powers. This will reverse that effect. But if they gave him the whole bottle... it will act as a poison, draining the power of life from him as well. This should reverse the effect, but we do not know because it has never been used by us in a life and death crisis. Either way, the potion is an easy one to make, so we will have it finished in ten minutes or so. Your friend Wade should call soon, so you and your friend are to wait for him." And Fu Dog and Lao Shi retreated into the back of the shop.
Ten minutes later, Lao Shi and Fu came out with a small bottle of clear blue potion. "We have it," said Lao Shi. "Has your friend called yet?"
Before Kim could answer, the Kimmunicator rang. "Hey, Wade, what up?"
"I've got his coordinates. He's in an old abandoned above ground tomb, not far from where you now are, in the Monsessor Graveyard... said to be haunted. Anyway, Kim, you guys had better hurry. His signal is growing weaker by the second."
"What does that mean?" Ron asked.
"It means," spoke up Lao Shi, "that he himself is getting weaker. And if we do not reach him soon..." His voice choked, and then he said, "Let us go. Jake's life is depending on us. He is alive for now..." and then he added almost inaudibly, "but not for long..."
