Still a couple of hours before daylight, and twice as many hours before school would start Sue, Sid and Tobey were already out on their bikes headed for the wharf to hunt down and stop Kong Li from reducing Chinatown to rubble. It was foggy and eerily silent in-between the tremors. Tobey was worried about Sue and rode up next to her. Steering with one hand, Sue rested the cast on top of her head. It felt much better if she kept it above her heart.
"Sue you just had surgery on your arm yesterday, just hours ago really; why is Nana letting you come with us?"
"I convinced her that if we find Kong Li and whatever he is cooking, while you and Sid fight with Kong Li, you will need me to deactivate the recipe he's cooking. I have orders to stay out of the way otherwise."
"Well, okay, but just riding your bike with a cast on is dangerous. Doesn't it hurt?"
"Hurts a little. Nana gave me a magic herbal tea that she said would make my arm feel better."
Another quake hit and caused the pavement in front of them to break. Sid and Sue got stopped in time. Tobey, looking at Sue to be sure she was okay ran into the crack and flipped over his handlebars. He landed on his back with a grunt and rolled over slowly to get up. Sid jumped off his bike and went to him. "Are you okay?"
"Fine Sid. What a ride huh?"
Sid offered him a hand up and Tobey took it. Sue had already ridden around the broken pavement. "Hurry up you guys, we have to find the recipe Kong Li is using to do this and put this cookie Nana gave me in the pot to deactivate it." She held out a green fortune cookie.
"Spooky! Sue - That's just like the green krypto-cookie that Kong Li used to kill Super Sid!"
"What Tobey?"
"He means in his dream last night Sue; it sounded like a wild one."
Sid pushed off to ride in-between Sue and Tobey. Tobey added, "My dream was nuts - you guys had telekinesis and could do amazing things all I had was my Kung Fu skills and a few weapons. Sue beat twelve shape shifters all at once."
"Well that's just fine Tobey, you dreamed Sue is super strong, but I got killed by a cookie?"
"Hey, I can't help it if you let Kong Li grab you! You better be on your guard. We already have a green cookie involved, maybe I was dreaming the future – it was a warning!"
"Yeah right, me getting killed by a cookie – not likely."
Tobey swerved and stopped in front of Sid. Sid had to stop fast or run into him. "Sid you have to go home where you will be safe! Sue and I can do this."
"What? No way – I'm not letting you two fight Kong Li alone! Sue's wearing a cast, remember? It was just a dream Tobey."
"But what if it wasn't – maybe it was a premonition!"
"Kong Li cannot possibly have a cookie that will make me weak- he can't render me weak at all as long as I have these!" Sid flexed his muscles and Tobey giggled like a girl.
"Come on guys quit goofing off. We all have to go. Nana said the magic was coming from Warehouse 13 on the wharf. We have to check it out and stop it before any more damage is done. Sue rode around Tobey, Sid backed up and did the same. Tobey reluctantly followed. "I'm not goofing off! I'm worried."
There was very little traffic on the streets at that hour. They only saw three cars with their occupants slowly making their way home from a late shift, or to work for the early shift. Mr. Han waved at them on his way into his donut shop. He had to 'make the donuts' early. Old man Jiang was busy driving his old pick-up truck from business to business refilling all the newspaper racks on Lotus Street and he waved at them as they sped by. They were the only two town's folk that they saw that they new and really they were the only ones that had already started their day downtown, even with the earth breaking and rumbling all around them.
The sight that surprised them, especially Sid, was his friend Will from school riding his bike toward them.
"What are you doing out this early Will?"
"Hey dude, I might ask you guys the same."
Sue interrupted, "We're just getting some exercise before school."
"Yeah, right, like you guys don't get enough exercise with your delivery job and Kung Fu lessons. In that case . . . I'm – then I'm exercising too." Will said sarcastically as he circled Sid, Sue and Tobey. On his next pass, Will pulled up next to Tobey and stopped. He held his hand out toward Tobey with a little box wrapped up bow and all and expected him to take it.
"Hey Will, thanks anyway, but I told you already I'm not interested."
"Well today is only my fifth day back after getting suspended. I want to celebrate by giving you this and taking you out to 'Tamarine,' that upscale Vietnamese Restaurant this evening."
"Ooo, going to Tamarine sounds really good, but I'm not interested Will and I you know we all have to work anyway."
Sue mothered them again, "Guys, come on! Whats going on? We have work to do."
Will replied, "Hey Sue, you look better than I expected. I heard you went to the hospital yesterday 'cause you couldn't get out of the way of a falling electric pole. What did it do, chase you?"
"An-jing Will. Come on guys."
"Come on Tobey, you have to come with me to celebrate my release! The community service really sucked while I was in juvenile detention and now I have finished with my suspension at school. I want to celebrate with you."
Sid got off his bike and stood between Will and Tobey. Sue rolled her eyes, realizing they were not going anywhere soon.
"Good Will, community service is supposed to suck so you won't do anything so stupid again."
"Sid, buddy – it totally wasn't my fault – that guy was really asking for what he got!"
Sue couldn't resist butting in. "How did he ask Will? How does a kid two years younger than you ask to have their nose broken?"
"Sid - tell your sister to mind her own business."
"I'm sure she heard you Will. Look we have to go, I'll talk to you later at school okay?"
"What ever." Will tossed the little box over Sid and Tobey caught it. He rode away. Sue, Sid and Tobey continued on their way in the opposite direction.
"Gee Sid, what's wrong with that guy?"
"I think he's angry because he's having a hard time at home. His mother is in the hospital and his dad is taking his frustration about the money it is going to cost out out on him."
"So, Mr. Wu takes his frustration out on us all the time and we don't get in trouble."
"Will isn't handling his mother's hospitalization well. His father's indifference and only worrying about the money is getting to him. Will has a shorter temper than ever and is getting into fights. He has totally skipped school several times and won't tell me what he's doing. But I don't know why he has decided to ask you out right in front of me. It's probably his warped idea of payback."
"Payback for what Sid?" Tobey was coasting along, steering his bike with his feet so he could use both hands to see what was in the box Will threw to him.
Sid continued, blushing, "When he got out of juvenile detention, he said he decided he likes boys and wanted to date me. He sounded very confused."
"What? DATE YOU? You told him no right?"
"Of course I told him no, Tobey and you shouldn't open that, you refused his date, you should return it."
"You saw - I refused it, he threw it at me again anyway." Tobey found a single piece of chocolate in the little box and put it in his mouth.
"Tobey! Don't eat that – you don't even know what it is."
"Its chocolate. Mmmmmm."
"But who give a person one little piece of chocolate? Knowing Will and his pranks, it might give you diarrhea or something even worse!"
"M sure iz fine 'id." Tobey spoke with his mouth full, savoring the flavor he was letting it melt and his teeth looked brown. Sue was well ahead of them now and called back, "Come on girls, if you're done gossiping, we have work to do or we will be late for school."
Sid raised his eyebrow as he looked at Tobey. "Did she just call us girls?"
"Yes Sid, I am pretty sure that is what she called us."
[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[TD]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]
After parking their bikes behind Warehouse 14 across the street from their destination, they walked over to Warehouse 13 very quietly. They crept silently down the side and Sid peeked in the high window after climbing up on a parked forklift. He jumped back down, landing silently on the pavement like a cat and whispered. "Kong Li's in there alright. His cauldron is bubbling."
Just then another strong quake hit. The back tire on the forklift fell through the pavement. As the back end went down, the front, forked end went up and as Tobey shifted his feet to keep his balance one of the forks scraped up his leg and tore his pants. "Ow!" he moaned softly, dropped to one knee and held his stinging calf.
"You have to be more careful, Tobias the Slayer." Sid whispered and leaned down to see his leg.
"Sid, I didn't do anything – the thing just reached out and bit me!" Tobey was blowing on the scratch.
"Maybe you should have done something – like move." Sid ruffled Tobey's hair and pulled him up to his feet without giving him time to put his pants leg back down.
"Come on guys we have to hurry, Chinatown is caving in around us. What would you do if I wasn't here to keep you focused!" They didn't answer her. Sue pointed at Tobey, and then up a stack of crates. She grabbed Sid by the hand and pulled him with her around the back of the warehouse to the rear door. Tobey went alone to climb up on the crates and go in an open window. There were more crates stacked on the inside and he crawled silently across them to look for Kong Li. This was starting to feel more and more like his dream and he shivered involuntarily. After only a few seconds he heard Sue's voice inside. "Stop Kong Li!"
Tobey heard Sid next, "What ever you're doing, it won't work!" Tobey stood up on the stacked under the window, he could clearly see Sid, Sue and Kong Li and except for their super hero costumes, the scene looked just like his dream!
"Well if it isn't Sid and little Sue Yi. Where is my son?"
"Don't worry, Tobey's here. We are here to stop you from what ever you're trying this time."
"Not likely." Kong Li tossed a big handful of green herbs in the pot and another earthquake hit. The biggest earthquake yet, the crates shifted under Tobey's feet and he fell. Sue saw him coming down and covered her forehead in embarrassment. Sid looked worried for a moment, but saw him getting up. Tobey cried, "This just isn't my day."
"No son, it isn't going to be your day at all."
"Stop reminding me that you think you are my father!" Tobey charged Kong Li and he took the time to throw in some herbs the earth rocked again, part of the ceiling came down behind Sid and Sue and made them duck and look around. A large florescent lamp fell in front of Tobey and stopped him in his tracks.
"Oh - I am your father, you can't deny it any longer and I will prove it to you soon enough!" Kong Li added a large handful of cayenne pepper to the cauldron. The earthquake generated by the hot spice opened a crevasse under Sid and Sue's feet, then they saw the red cayenne pepper summoned lava! The heat from below already melting their shoes! As the hot concrete floor crumbled and fell into the lava. Sue and Sid screamed and reached for each other and the edge as they started to fall.
"They are both vulnerable! NO!" Tobey dived at Sue knocking her to the opposite edge of the crack she landed in a roll trying to protect her casted arm. Tobey landed on his stomach at the edge and caught Sid by both of his hands. The crack widened more. Sue wasn't sure she would make it back across to help the boys if she jumped so she ran toward the end of the crack where it was narrower. "I'm coming guys!"
"Hurry Sue, Sid weighs a ton!"
Sid groaned and screamed "I'll get you for that Tobey – Get me out of here so I can!"
His shoes were smoking and the rubber soles ignited just seconds later. Sid kicked his shoes off and they vanished as little puffs of smoke in the lava. Sid screamed as his socks burned and kicked his feet together trying to put them out. Now his bare feet were dangling over the lava. Tobey tried even harder to pull him up alone and got Sid's arm up high enough that Sid had both his arms on the floor trying to help. He had nothing but lava near his feet and only Tobey to hold onto.
Kong Li watched their struggles to save themselves smiling evilly, but he was busy gathering up his equipment and ingredients to leave. The quake continued, the crack got wider still and the lava came up closer to Sid's feet again. Another crack opened up behind Tobey and he bent his knees to keep his own feet farther away from the heat. Part of the ceiling crashed down next to them and made Sue duck and go to Tobey's other side. Kong Li watched them trying to save Sid like he was watching a very funny cartoon. A human thug put on oven mitts and with Kong Li they lifted the bubbling cauldron into the back of a van.
"See you kids? If any of you survive this. What am I saying Tobey at least will survive, my son and I have too many plans for him to parish yet. If any of you survive this, meet me at Wu's Garden where I will be watching it crumble and once I find the cookbook I will sink Wu's Garden to the earth's core with your Nana inside!"
Sue heard Kong Li's threats, but didn't have time right then to respond to him. She joined Tobey on the cracking floor and took one of Sid's hands. She forgot and tried to use her casted arm, but it was useless and only caused her pain. With Sue pulling with only one hand, they pulled Sid up. Sue kept pulling to get him farther away from the crack, but the floor crumbled under Tobey and he scrambled to save himself.
In a bad position to help Sue pull Sid anymore, he pushed on Sid's butt to get him farther away from the edge before he even moved himself. Tobey was still at the edge and more floor crumbled and fell into the lava. Some of the hot, liquid rock splashed up on Tobey's pants. As Tobey screamed, and started to slide away, Sue threw herself across Sid and caught Tobey's hand. She pulled him away from the smoldering crack and next to her brother all with one hand.
"Wow Tobey, this is like your dream. Sue is really strong! Sue you just saved both of us with a broken arm!"
"Yeah, well, it was nothing." Sue rolled over and stood up.
"Yeah well you don't know how happy I am that it's not exactly like my dream. Kong Li's staff isn't sticking though your chest, but your feet! Can you walk?"
More of the ceiling came down and splashed in the lava. "Guys we have to get out of here – even if we have to carry Sid!" Sue helped Sid up and offered her hand to Tobey. "I'm fine Sue, help Sid get out! I'm right behind you!"
Sid almost fell several times trying to run on his burned feet. Sue got him out, across the sidewalk and a narrow driveway. Running on the hot pavement hurt him the most and Sue had to work hard to keep him on his feet with only one arm. As she turned him around and sat him in the grass, he cried, "Tobey! Tobey's not behind you!"
"Oh NO!" Sue turned to run back. Large chunks of ceiling were falling all around her as she went in again to find Tobey.
[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[TD]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]
When Tobey tried to follow the siblings, a large chunk of the roof fell in front of him and the time it took to go around and over, he got separated from them. Tobey dodged another chunk of the roof and got turned around in the smoke. He was running in the wrong direction. He didn't call to his friends because he didn't want them to slow down just to wait for him. He was being unusually quiet; barely making a sound as he had close call after close call in the crumbling, melting structure.
It was dark in the room Tobey ran into, except for a red glow from the lava welling up in a new crack in front of him. He tripped in the dark and fell near the edge. As he tried to get up, more roofing material fell with long sections of the support beams. A heavy beam, bigger square than Tobey's chest measured fell across his shoulders and slammed him to the floor. He exhaled loudly and groaned as he tried to get up, but realizing he was trapped, he tried to call to Sid and Sue.
It was too late to yell at them for help! They were already outside Sue helping Sid get across the parking area and the rumbling from the quake and the collapsing ceiling covered his voice. Tobey tried to rise up under the beam, he even got up on his knees with his butt in the air to try and roll it off over his head. He hoped with his biking helmet still on that the beam wouldn't crush his head and just roll off. He didn't get to find out since he couldn't make the beam move at all. Tobey gave up, deciding he was really stuck and this would be the end. The crack in front of him was getting bigger, the lava closer to the surface. He screamed and uselessly kicked his feet, but stopped when he heard a male voice, that wasn't Sid's or Kong Li's, "Don't panic Tobey – I'll get you out!" Tobey couldn't see back over the beam to see who was there. He felt the beam move slightly, but it pressed back down on him. "I can't lift it alone – hold on!" the voice said.
Sue got inside and found Tobey through all the dust, steam and smoke lying on his stomach with the heavy beam across his shoulders. She was very surprised to find someone already there trying to help him! She ran to them and saw it was Will and he was yelling for her help.
"Sue! Help me lift this off of him! We have to hurry – the toxic fumes from the lava and melting tar from the roof are gonna do us in even if we aren't crushed!" Sue joined him and they tried to lift the beam together, but Sue wasn't much help with only one arm. She saw another beam had fallen first and was keeping the full weight of the large beam off of Tobey's shoulders. "Will - come over here – we can pick it up from here. Sue helped a little, but using the other, smaller beam as a lever Will was able to hold it up alone while Sue pulled Tobey backwards by his feet to get him out. Once he was out, he didn't stand up right away so Will pulled him up by his arms and let him hang over his shoulder in a fireman's carry to get him out.
"Go Sue! I'll bring him!" Will ran after Sue just as the floor opened up and the last of the ceiling fell into the lava. Sid was leaning at the door, he was trying to go in to see if he could help. Sue grabbed him and helped him get back to the grassy area as the rumbling died down. What was left of Warehouse 13 was a pile of smoking rubble.
As Sue helped Sid sit down again he watched Will carry Tobey over to them, "Will! Thanks – is Tobey hurt?"
"I don't know, ask him." As Will put Tobey down Sid could see that he wasn't unconscious.
"No Sid, I'm not hurt, I think." Tobey moved like his back and shoulder's hurt. Will helped him sit down by Sid, who was already starting with the questions. "What are you doing back here?"
"I saw smoke and that last earthquake was so bad I thought I better check on you guys. I thought you had come this way. And you're welcome Sid, it was my pleasure to save your boyfriend, who you say you love."
"You jerk! I – I was hurt! We thought Tobey was right behind us – I just couldn't get there before you!"
"Well by the time you hobbled in, Tobey would have been frying in Lava!"
"No! I tried . . . you don't know anything! I . . ."
"See, even now, your attention is not on Tobey, you are only concerned with questioning me right now."
"I'll do more than yell!" Sid clenched his fists.
"Sid!" Sue interrupted, "um, Will, did you see anyone else around?"
"No, just you three. What were you guys doing in there anyway? And since when are there volcanoes under Chinatown?"
"We went in because we saw smoke and thought we heard someone yelling for help, but couldn't find anyone."
"Really Will, thanks for risking your life to save me."
"Yeah really Will, I'm sorry I questioned you – you're right. I was too wrapped up in my own jealousy to pay attention to what is important." Sid admitted.
Tobey picked Sid's hand up and held on tight. "Will, you save me, but every other time i've seen you you are pulling some kind of prank on me. Why do you save me know?"
"What? Just cause I pick on you doesn't mean I want something really bad to happen to you Tobey."
"Some of what you've done to me, I consider really bad."
"Sorry, Tobey – I feel bad for doing all those mean things to you and understand you could have been injured by some of my pranks. I'm sorry, but nothing I've done to you is as bad as what lava would have done to you. Besides, you know I only pick on you because I like you."
"Not a good way to show it, but it's okay, since you aren't going to do it anymore, right?"
"Maybe I won't and for sure I won't if you will go on that dinner date with me."
Sid growled again and tried to stand up. The burns on his feet caused him intense pain, He groaned instead and reached over Tobey to grab the front of Will's shirt.
"Sid! No, don't hurt him, he just saved my life . . . Come on, going to dinner won't hurt nothing. I know what we can do, Sid and I will double-date with you and the date of your choice. Sue can invite Barney and it will be a Triple date!"
"You are the date of my choice Tobey, but Sid can hang around if he is up to it. It looks like the burns on his feet will take some time to heal though – he can't go dancing with us."
"Will, you have to get it through your head, I love Sid."
"Its okay, I'll wait – nothing's permanent you know Tobey. You won't love him forever – you are much too young to limit yourself to only one person."
Tobey frowned. That was the second time someone told him nothing's permanent in only a few hours. "Yeah well maybe not permanent, but I will love Sid as long as I am alive."
Will leaned down and whispered something in Tobey's ear. Or that's what it looked like to Sid. Really, Will was blowing in Tobey's ear, his breath activating the love potion that had been in the piece of chocolate that he gave him earlier in the little box. Sid even saw the goosebumps rise on Tobey's arm. He grabbed Will's arm and made him turn to face him.
"That's enough Will – Tobey what did he say to you?"
"Nothing Sid."
Sue had been listening to this whole exchange and finally had to interrupt. "Come on girls! We have more important things to worry about right now – like school is starting soon and we have to call Nana."
Will promised Tobey, "I will be around this evening to pick you up."
"You do and you will leave alone and limping!" Sid threatened. Will picked his bike up off the grass a few feet away and rode off laughing. Tobey glared at Sid.
"Sid! Don't be so mean, he just saved my life! You have to know I wouldn't ever break up with you."
"I trust you Tobey, I don't trust him! He was my best friend, what . . . "
"Come on guys, I didn't want to say anything in front of Will, but if you remember, Kong Li said he was on his way to Wu's! He might hurt Nana!" Sue got on her bike and rode away. She realized she was doing it again. The boys were so distracted by their hormones they couldn't remember what was important for more than a few minutes it seemed. Well, if they didn't follow her this time she would go on without them and see if she could do anything alone.
Tobey got up brushing ash off of his clothes as Sue rode away and noticed Sid was really having a hard time standing. Putting weight on his bare, burned feet on the cold pavement brought tears to his eyes. "I thought you said there was no way Kong Li could make you weak!"
"He didn't make me weak, the lava burned my feet. Pain is totally different." Sid sat back down.
"I don't see how it's different, you look pretty weak right now Sid. Can you ride?" Tobey stood Sid's bike up and brought it over to him as he spoke.
"Watch me – I can pedal with the tops of my feet under the pedals." Sid gritted his teeth and pushed, or rather pulled off. The tops of his feet were burned too. Tobey followed and Sue was already blocks ahead of them.
[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[TD]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]
Sid, Sue and Tobey could feel the earth start shaking again long before they got back to the garden. Tobey and Sue stood up on their pedals and left Sid like he was sitting still. Kong Li had his cauldron in the garden, near the scholar stone. He hadn't used the cayenne pepper yet, since he didn't want the cookbook to burn up in the lava. The Scholar Stone was sitting crooked after one end fell into a sinkhole, but it was undamaged.
"Oh No – Nana." Sue whispered. Nana was being held by the shape shifter dangerously close to a crevasse that had opened up in Kong Li's carefully controlled earthquake. The shifter had Nana gagged and bound her from neck to toe in his tentacles. Tobey observed, "We have to stop Kong Li alone! I hope Nana's not badly hurt – Kong Li wall pay for this!"
"I have the fortune cookie ready to stop the recipe, all we have to do is get it in the pot."
"Sue, you go in low, I will go high." Tobey jumped up to the top of the garden wall as Sue went to the gate. Sid got there and limping severely with both feet hurting, started to follow Sue. She stopped him and whispered, "No, Sid – you're hurt. Stay here!"
"What do you mean I'm hurt – You're hurt worse Sue! Nana told you not to get in a fight!"
"That was before Kong Li came here and captured her! Besides, I'm not fighting, I am still on cookie duty and if I have to, I can kick his ass with one arm behind my back right? Now is my chance to prove it." Sue set her jaw and glared at Kong Li as she moved into position.
Sid stopped, but he had no intention of letting Sue and Tobey do this alone. Tobey got ready and attacked first, hoping to give Sue the chance she needed to get the green fortune cookie into the recipe.
"Kong Li!" Tobey yelled and jumped off the wall intending to land on Kong Li's head, but since he warned him by yelling first the villain stepped to the side and palmed him in the chest. Tobey came charging right back and they exchanged a series of strikes and blocks while Tobey spoke. "Kong Li! You dare to attack Nana here!"
"You must call my 'Dad' son, and I will attack Mei Hua anywhere I please until I get our master's cookbook."
"No! I won't let you! - AND I WILL NEVER CALL YOU DAD!" Tobey got Kong Li away from the cauldron and Sue crept up closer. The wall next to where Tobey and Kong Li were fighting started to crumble in the quake. A chunk hit Tobey's sore back and Kong Li got in a good hit. Tobey hit the wall hard and fell to his knees in front of it with more chunks of brick falling on him. He mumbled, "Ow-nnnnn." and collapsed.
Seeing Tobey go down, Sid came inside the gate, gritted his teeth and ran through the grass to get between Tobey and Kong Li. As Kong Li yelled at him and charged, Sid threw a punch, but Kong Li caught his punch and flipped him. Sue took a chance and threw the green cookie. It made a little plop sound as it entered the boiling pot and Kong Li roared angrily as the pot smoked a cool blue and the quake stopped.
Sue yelled, "Give it up Kong Li! Your recipe is ruined anyway!" Sid groaned and forced himself to run at Kong Li again.
Sue ran to Tobey and grabbed his hand to pull him away from the wall before more of it fell on him. Tobey moaned, but didn't help much as she pulled him away from the wall. Moving backwards Sue stumbled over a rock and fell flat on her back. Her cast struck the brick walkway. Sue screamed and painfully held the cast against her chest with tears in her eyes.
Sid held his own against Kong Li for a few moments. He managed to jump up and kick Kong Li. His first kick hit Kong Li in the shoulder but not nearly as effective with his sore feet. Kong Li was ready for the second attack. As Sid kicked, Sue screamed and he looked at her. Kong Li brought his staff around and hit the arch of Sid's burned foot with the dragon head on the end of the staff. The sharp edges of the dragon sculpture, cut Sid's foot. Sid groaned and Tobey looked up at him in time to see him fall on his side holding his leg. Kong Li lunged at Sid who rolled over and tried to crawl away. Kong Li twirled his staff around and jabbed Sid hard in the back with the pointed end.
As Tobey saw Sid fall forward, images from his dream when Kong Li stabbed Sid in the back with his staff flashed in Tobey's mind as he struggled to get up. "Sid – No!"
Nana could see how her kids were suffering, and it looked like they would loose this fight. She struggled, but only squirmed like a caterpillar unable to get out of a cocoon. The shifter tightened his hold on her and she gave up struggling trying to think of a way out instead.
As Tobey tried to go around Kong Li to get to Sid, Kong Li grabbed him. With tears running down her face, Sue tried to get up to help both the boys. Kong Li had hit Sid so hard his legs wouldn't work for a few moments. He could only roll over a little and watch Kong Li trying to choke Tobey!
[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[TD]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]
Tobey continued . . .
