“Yes,
but we need to know more,” Hiccup responded.
“What if
they want to kill us?” Snotlout ssked.
“I don’t
think they want to do that,” Hiccup responded. “Are you, rusty?”
“Who are
you calling rusty?” the man said.
“Have
you looked at yourselves lately?” Hiccup asked.
“Try
being on this ship for a long time.”

“I suppose so,” Alexia said, with a thoughtful expression
on her face. “But I am studying Architecture as well.”
“That’s certainly practical, but also can be artistic,”
Freya responded.
Alexia nodded. “That is why I chose it.”
The doors were then opened. “Time to go in,” Freya said.
“Welcome to Introduction to Advanced Music Theory. I am
Professor Iona Ingurman, the coordinator for this course.”

Excerpt
from: Spider Quinn
After
midnight, Daria crept out onto the roof. She looked out over Lawndale, and wondered
where Jane was being held. ‘It has to be somewhere close by.’ She took out a
map of Lawndale County. ‘She said that Oakwood is too far for her locate
ability to work. Five miles between Lawndale and Oakwood.’ She looked at the
area south of Lawndale, and saw that Lake Lawndale was only three and a half miles
from the center of Lawndale at the closest point. ‘Or maybe she’s being held somewhere
there. But I can’t get there tonight.’
She
then went down to try to get some sleep.
SpiderGirl
arrived on the roof of the Historia in the early hours to find Ninja Talon
waiting. “Hey.”
“Hey,
Spidey. It was an interesting evening.”
“And
complicated. I got the impression that the Enigma doesn’t like the civilian me
personally. I’m not sure why.”
“I
got to the creek with Trent and Dafoanairi but we were too late,” Ninja Talon said.
“They
said that.”
“What
happened with the theater?”
“There
were no traps, and most of the other actors were still there. But you weren’t
the only one who left,” SpiderGirl answered.
“Good.”
“Your
secret identity is still safe.”
“I
still took a risk,” Ninja Talon said.
“So
did I.”
“And
you still think Dafoanairi might be Daria?”
SpiderGirl
nodded. “She had run off and said that she had gave chase to the abductor when
she returned.”
“But
she could have done that anyway.”
“That’s
a good point.”
“But
now we need to find Jane,” Ninja Talon said. “I have an idea.”
“We’re
going to ask Andrea?”
“Yes.
Either that or infiltrate Oscorp again to get the CCTV footage.”
“Andrea
first,” SpiderGirl decided. “But would she be up?”
“We
could go there anyway.”
SpiderGirl
agreed, and so they headed in that direction.
As
it turned out, Andrea was up, gaming, as she couldn’t sleep with everything
that had been going on. She heard Ninja Talon and SpiderGirl enter the house
from the back door. Just as well her parents were heavy sleepers. She met them
in the hallway. “Why are you here?” she asked quietly. “You’re not asking me to
hack Oscorp again, are you?”
“Maybe,”
SpiderGirl said. “It’s to do with the missing critics.”
“I doubt
Oscorp is responsible,” Andrea said as she lead them into her room.
“Jane
Lane is also missing,” Ninja Talon said.
“I
heard her interview about the play,” Andrea said. “Wait, are you saying that something
happened?”
“Yes,”
SpiderGirl said and explained what had happened at the Historia earlier in the
night.
Andrea
took it in. “I’m not sure what I could do about it. Even if there are cameras
outside the Historia that might have seen this mysterious person take Jane into
the stormwater system, trying to download the video over a dial up connection
won’t work.”
“I
see,” SpiderGirl said.
“But
there could be a way,” Andrea considered.
“What
would that be?” Ninja Talon asked.
“If
I had access to one of Lawndale State’s computer labs, I would be able to do
it.”
“I
have no idea about that,” SpiderGirl said.
“But
other students at Lawndale High have siblings at Lawndale State,” Andrea said.
She turned to Ninja Talon. “I could get back to you at lunch. What do you say?”
“That
could work. We can meet in the library. But Spidey won’t be there!”
“I
won’t,” SpiderGirl said.
“Relax.
I still don’t want to know your identity.”
“Good.
Then Talon can tell me later.”
Ninja
Talon nodded.
