I DON'T CARE
'You know what? It's kinda crazy 'cause I really don't mind'

"Okay, you two, please shut up!" I groaned "Do you have the list?" Liam asked "It's in my head" I said "What if you forget something?" Hayden asked.

"Don't worry, I won't. You can worry about catching a ghost rider" I mumbled "Is that a good idea?"

"If we get caught stealing school supplies, it's a great idea"

"Okay, now. Can't we just buy a lightning rod?"Liam asked "Sure, if you've got $2500" I snapped

"What are you doing here? This is faculty only"Mr. Douglas asked "Then why are you the one leaving?" I ask "What are you doing? Plugs and wires?" Hayden spoke up "Are... Are you making a Taser?" Liam stuttered.

Mr. Douglas chuckled "No. No, of course not" "You saw them, didn't you?" I say "You should be in class" he said "Was it the night of the lacrosse game?" Liam questioned ignoring him.

"You saw the lightning, the men, and the horses?" Liam asked "Dozens of them" Mr. Douglas replied.

"oh great" I rolled my eyes.

"It was chaos. They were everywhere. Some of the kids were running. But for everyone else it, it was like there was nothing there. They couldn't see a thing" Mr. Douglas said.

"We did. And we've got a lot more to tell you if you really wanna fight back" Hayden said "Damn it, Hayden!" I exclaimed "we don't need more people" I groaned in annoyance.

"Control your girl, Liam!"

"The lightning strikes the rod, which sends the bolt down into the tunnel. We grab the Ghost Rider push him into the bunker, and we trap him there" Liam explained.

"Okay. How do you keep him from riding the lightning back out of the tunnels before you get him into the trap?" Mr. Douglas asked "Well, if the lightning strikes again, it'll just hit our rod. He won't be close enough to grab on" Hayden said.

"But, shouldn't we assume the Ghost Riders have some kind of control over where it strikes?" Mr. Douglas said.

"Just because physics can't explain it today doesn't mean there won't be a logical explanation tomorrow" I say "So, if they have control, then how do we stop 'em?" He asked.

"We need to absorb a lightning bolt. Can we do that?" Liam asked "Not with anything we have here. I can't build a conduit strong enough to absorb even half that much energy" Mr. Douglas said.

The bell rang so me, Liam and Hayden left the classroom "Instead of a conduit, maybe we can find a person to absorb the lightning" I say "I don't even think Kira could do that" Liam said

"Josh could" I mumbled "He ate electricity" I added "Josh is dead" Hayden said "Yeah, but his power didn't die with him" I say.

"May as well have" Liam said "We can get to it" I said, tilting my head to the side "We don't know that" Hayden said "Not for sure" I spoke, letting out a deep breath.

"What are you saying?" Liam asked narrowing his eyebrows "You know what I'm saying" I say as we stopped in the middle of the hallway.

"If you're saying what I think you're saying, you're insane" Liam said "I know it's insane. But I need you with me on this" I said, shiver of anticipation and hope coursed through my body and Liam sighed shaking his head.
