"You know what?" asked Jack after a while. "Maybe we should just forget about this whole thing! I mean, really. I'm a minor. I'll be out in no time. And I'm really young. Kids make mistakes, isn't that right...Clay?" Jack glanced hopefully at Clay. The cowboy ignored him. "Kimiko?" Kimiko became suddenly interested in a point of light far off in the distance. "Never mind, then. Be that way. You'll hear from my lawy--,"

"Dude," interrupted Katnappe. "Do you ever shut up?"

"...no," replied Jack and fell silent again. He busied himself with making up things to tell his juvenile corrections officer. He had come up with four lies so far, one of them involving his evil robot double and the rest involving assassins and bicycles. They were fairly convulted, but they were really just for show. His dad would flash some money and he'd be quickly processed and back home in a matter of hours. And if that didn't work, he would simply break out and use the Wushan Geyser to make everyone forget. But then again, he didn't have that Wu any more...or did he?


"How is it going?" asked Chase.

His henchman hesitated to respond. "It's g-going good, s-sir,"

"It's going well, you illiterate buffoon,"

"S-sorry, s-s-sir,"

"And stop stammering, twit. Servility should be left to the masters, like Jack Spicer,"

"S-s- er, I mean, sorry sir,"

"What have you seen?"

"W-w-w- At the current moment, we have seen the Xiaolin warriors travelling up the same path that Wuya is on. They will meet somewhere around the center. Wuya has hidden, however, and the other cats grow impatient. Perhaps we should--,"

"Silence. And what of the Heylin dragon?"

"I think they're going to jail,"

"No, not the Heylin dragons. The Heylin dragon. The true one that I assisted Wuya in summoning a few hours ago. Where is it?"

"It...um...it's building a trap,"

"Really?"

"Yes, sir,"

"Hmm, intriguing," Chase pulled out of the conversation and nodded his head slowly. It seemed as if everything was following the plan he had laid out. Perhaps everything would work as planned. If it all worked out like Chase wanted it to, Wuya would be gone forever, the Xiaolin monks would be dead, and absolute power would be in his grasp forever. Of course, since nothing ever happens the way it's expected to, everything falls apart. Piece, by piece...
