Coach Alex told us to meet her at the Ducks rink at 7 pm.
"Hey." I say.
"Hey." Logan replies.
"Ready guys?" Alex leads us behind a black van. She holds out two fingers and waves them at us.
"What down two fingers mean?" Sam questions.
"Well, on cop shoes, fist is 'stop.' Wave is 'go.' Don't think two fingers is a thing." Nick tells us.
"Yeah." Evan whispers.
"No, no. You know what it is? It's like a peace sign. Peace. No sign of danger." Logan says. I laugh under my breathe.
"It could be there are two guesses we need to take out. I brought my nunchucks." Lauren takes her nunchucks out.
"Put those thing away! We are not taking anyone out. Hey, mom, what's the situation?" Evan whispers.
"Two fingers. It means be quiet." Alex says.
"Pretty sure it's not a thing." Nick shakes his head.
"Nope." I say.
"No." Maya says.
"Come on! All right. There's a lady at the front desk. We gotta get past her." Alex says.
"Her glasses are totally 2009. I could go in and crush her to dust on that." Maya tells us.
"I'm, okay, here's another idea that won't make someone feel like hell. Evan, you go in, you tell her you lost your helmet. Then once she goes to unlock the lost and found, Logan, you're gonna go in next. You are going to charm her. You flip your hair, you smile. You do whatever it takes. And then we will sneak in, grab our stuff. And, Sam, if there's any trouble, you create. Distraction." Alex tells us her plan.
"Like act nuts. I can do that." Sam smiles.
"Okay. Don't bothers on three. But quiet, quiet. Quiet. One, two, three." Alex whispers.
"Don't bothers!" We all whisper yell.
"You can do it." Alex says as Evan walks in.
"Let's hope this works." I say.
"It will." Logan says.
We see Evan walk into the lost and found.
"Logan, you're up." Coach says.
He walks in.
"All right. It's working. Go" Nick tells us.
We all get into a line and and sneak in.
"Wait." Logan says to the woman. "Why don't you just talk me through it?" He continues.
We take it as a sign and walk into lost and found.
"No way." Sam exclaims.
"This is crazy!" Nick claims.
"Wow." I say.
"I know, right?" Evan says.
"It's like a sporting goods store!" Alex says.
"Koob, I found pads." Evan says.
"This is the lost and found?" Lauren asks me and Maya.
"Hey, Nick, some gloves." I throw him them.
I start grabbing all the gear I can see. Sam pushed over some equipment and it all crashed together.
"Sam, what are you doing?" Alex whisper yells.
"You said create a diversion." Sam shrugs.
"If we were in trouble. This is going well. Shh!" She puts her finger over her mouth.
"Sorry. My bad!" Sam apologies.
"Maya. These gloves suit you." I say.
"Wow, I love these gloves." She takes them from my hand.
I've got all my gear and some stuff for Logan.
We all run out with our new gear.
