We finally, after a long long walk, got back to the sub station "I must have lost 30 pounds on that walk, do you know how long it's gonna take me to gain that back?" Mr Russo asked/whined "why is the substation all boarded up?" Justin asked, I turned to find it was in fact boarded up "Oh gosh I gotta get in there, I wanna take a bath without somebody yelling at me 'hey lady get outta my pool' " Mrs Russo said banging the boarded up door
"Go away government agents, I have a soda gun and it's loaded with root beer" Harper's voice yelled through the door "Harper it's us we escaped from the government guy's" Mr Russo said "I'm not falling for that the real Russo's are too lame to escape from anywhere" she replied, I chuckled "Harper! Open up we'd flash in there but we don't have our powers, we only got back by hitching rides, taking buses and a lot of walking"
Alex shouted "You didn't walk at all, you had me carry you like a camel" Mason whined, Alex glared at him slightly "Love" he said, she smiled "Too lazy to walk? Oh Alex it really is you, wait a minute I have to dismantle some booby traps I set to protect myself" Harper said, there was a lot of clanging coming from inside there and I was a lil bit concerned, she finally opened the door and she was in an armor suit "Hi guys"
she said opening up the mouth part "Oh it's so good to be home" Mrs Russo sad walking in, in a flash she was taken out by a punching glove "Oop's I forgot to get rid of that one" Harper said "Yah don't say" I said sarcastically.
We gave Mrs Russo an ice pack to calm the bump on her head "Im uh gonna go check the lair" Justin said heading through the kitchen "I'm glad you guy's are safe but aren't you worried about those government guy's coming back for you?" Harper asked concerned "Do you really think they want anything to do with us anymore? You guy's don't even have you're powers, you're nothing without them, nothing" Mrs Russo said, although she looked a little relieved
"Guy's come on there's something wrong with the portal" Justin said, everyone headed into the freezer and I followed, I was blocked from going in by an invisible shield, oh crud "Hey Cassy you coming?" Max asked "Uh yep, but you have to invite me in, wizard rules" I said "Well come in" he said nodding his head, I followed him into the lair, I walked in to see Alex, Justin, Mason and Mr Russo staring through the wizard portal, it was dark though "Look, the wizmergency wiz light is on, this means the powers are still down"
Mr Russo said, he walked away from the portal "That means the government must have captured everyone" Mr Russo said "This is bad, that means they still have professor Crumb's too" Alex said before running out, I followed and saw her on the phone "Hello I'd like to speak with the officer in charge" she said "what are you doing?" Mr Russo asked "I'm calling the police, we have to do something about the wizard world…yes hello officer I'd like to report…."
she was cut off by Justin taking the phone "That you are doing a great job. Keep it up. Love yah" Justin said hanging up "Alex! What were you gonna tell them?" Justin asked "Not that I love them" she said chuckling "People don't hear it enough. Alex you know you can't reveal magic" Justin said "Even I know that, that's why I just make people think I'm dumb so if I slip up, they figure the kids an idiot.
And I slip up all the time so, who's dumb now?" Max asked, that was kinda smart "Alex you can't call the police, we just need to lay low for a while until this blow's over and do nothing" Mr Russo said "The wizard world is captured and you want us to do nothing?. Fine" Alex said angrily before storming upstairs "The one time we ask the laziest girl on earth to do nothing, she wants to do something" Mr Russo exclaimed "I'm just happy she didn't ask me to carry her up the stairs"
Mason said, he went upstairs too "So dad what's the plan?" Max asked his dad "Well first were gonna reopen for business" Mr Russo said "Okay are we talkin in code?" Max asked "No, it's business as usual" Mr Russo replied "Okay it's code, I got it I got it" Max said, he walked towards me and I saw Mr Russo looked really confused.
The next day I was cleaning the tables and I heard screaming, I turned to see Mrs Russo with her hand in a mouse trap, Justin got it off her but it re-engaged on him, Mr Russo got it off Justin "Harper" he said accusingly, the trap snapped on him and he started screaming, I laughed a little until they got the trap off him "I thought you took care of all the booby traps"
Mr Russo said "That wasn't mine but it sure was fun watching scream" she said laughing "Pretty good booby trap huh? I got em rigged all over this place in case the government agents decide to come back" Max said proudly "Max I said business as usual" Mr Russo said slowing it down for him "And I thought that was code for rig this place like there's no tomorrow" Max said, I smiled
"You had better get rid of all you're booby traps by the time we get back from ham shopping" Mrs Russo said warningly, the left and I turned to Max "You know I got my hand stuck in a trap once" I said "How did you do that?" he asked, I shrugged "I wanted the cheese" I said carrying on with my cleaning "Really? You don't seem like the dumb type" he said "I'm full of surprises darling" I said winking.
