“It's magic, not everyone can do this.There are other people who can, and not all of them may be good witches like me.That protective artifact I gave you can detect if someone plans to cause harm.Always listen to it, and it will keep you safe or at least as safe as it can.There is no guarantee, so you need to be careful too.I'm going to sneak outside now and see if I can catch somebody's attention.Carlos, you and the other adults need to keep an eye on the girls and make sure no one sees them.Even dummies can sometimes figure out things, and I don't need to be informed on.When I get taken to the boss, that's when we'll figure out who he is, and hopefully I can take him to jail.”

“Won’t that be dangerous?”Adele asked.

“Are you worried about me?”

Adele nodded.

“You are adorable.Maybe I should get myself one.Don’t worry.I have a great deal of magic.I also have help to call in.Damon’s wife is also a powerful witch, and she will be tracking me.If I run into trouble, she will get me out.”Harry explained.

“I’d like to meet her.I like witches.”Adele said.

“Me too.”Ellis agreed.

“Most witches will love you, too.”Harry offered.“Here, you will be able to see and hear what is going on.First, I need to pretend I'm a bad girl and sneak outside.That's when they get me.At least they'll think they get me, but really, I got them.”Harry giggled like a schoolgirl.

Darren turned on the equipment that Harry had given him.He wanted to see how Harry handled this whole thing because it sounded kind of complicated.Lottie was interested too, and if anything bad happened while Harry was still close by, he was sure that she would fly to the rescue.He meant flash because he didn't think that witches flew, although if they could, Harry would be one of the ones who would.

The little witch slipped out the back door, looking around like she was doing something naughty.He suspected that she had done naughty things enough to know how to look.It wasn't until she got further away from the house that someone appeared out of the woods.

“Hey, little girl.What are you doing?”A guy asked.

“My daddy wouldn't let me go outside to play.I really wanted to, so I snuck out.”

“What's your name?”

“My name is Adele, what's yours?”

“My name is Jerry.Would you like to come somewhere fun with me?”

“I'll get in trouble if I don't get back home in a little while,” Harry observed.

“Don't worry about that.It will be no problem.”

Yeah, because they had no intention of bringing her back home.Jerry led the way to where a truck was waiting and helped Adele/Harry inside.He made the rest of the guys ride in the back.At least he was looking out for the little girl in what way he could.A regular little girl would be scared to death to have a bunch of guys that she didn't know piled around her in the cab of the truck.They took off down the road, and Darren could only hope that the big boss was waiting somewhere nearby.A long distance would interfere with the camera and audio equipment, and he wouldn't be able to see what happened next.It would also make it harder for the witches to flash if Harry ran into trouble.

They headed north, and he suspected they were going to Branson or Springfield, where the ringleader could find a more luxurious hotel.When they arrived, it was clear that it was Branson.

“Are you taking me to the theme park in Branson?”Harry asked.

“Sure, little girl.I have a friend you need to meet first.”Jerry explained.

Darren could see that they were staying in one of the five-star resorts.It was more like an apartment than a motel room.It gave him the impression that this guy was rich, and he hoped he would not be able to buy his way out of the trouble he was in, as the other one had.They rode the elevator to the top floor, went to the door, and knocked.With this, reveal the big boss who kept coming after his daughters?The door opened, and a lady stood there, ushering them in.

She led the way to the living room, where a man was waiting.“I have been waiting to meet you for a long time.”He offered.

“Jake Long.What are you doing here?”Harry asked.

“You've heard of me.”The man preened as if this made him famous.

“I have, but it's all bad,” Harry said.

“You shouldn't talk to your future mate like that.”Jake directed.

“You're not even a pack alpha or a Councilman,” Harry observed.

“No, but I am rich.Why am I even explaining this to you?You're a female, and you will do as you're told.”Jake insisted.

“Says you and I don't have to listen to you.Are you really the one in charge of all of this?”Harry asked.
