I walk back to Scoops panic struck me. Steve sees me
"Hey hey Dani, what's wrong"Steve asks concerned. I don't say anything, he pulls me into the backroom and sits me down
"Hey you alright, you look panicked, did Billy do anything?"He asks
"No, he didn't I'm fine. Just a kid uh almost drowned and I panicked"I lie, I felt bad but how can I tell him. A russian message plays in the background. I help them try and figure out the rest
"The week is long,the silver cat feeds, when blue meets yellow in the west."We read together
We start to lock up the shop head back
"I mean, it just...it just can't be right."Steve says shutting the entrance
"It's right." Robin protests
"Honestly, I think it's great news."Dustin says
"How is this great news?I mean, so much for being American heroes. It's total nonsense."Steve says
"It's not nonsense"I tell him
"It's too specific. It's obviously a code."Dustin says, I take into consideration of what Dustin meant
"What do you mean, a code?"Steve inquires
"Like a super secret spy code."Dustin responds
"That's a total stretch."Steve denies
"I don't know, is it?"Robin says, I nod in agreement
"You're buying into this?"Steve asks the two of us
Listen, just for kicks,let's entertain the possibility that it is a secret Russian transmission. What'd you think they were gonna say,Fire the warhead at noon?"Robin says
"Exactly."I say
"And our translation is correct. I know that for sure, so..."The silver cat feeds." Why would anyone talk like thatunless they're trying to mask the meaning of their message?"Robin explains
"Exactly."Dustin says also agreeing
"Why would anyone mask the true meaning of their message unless the message was somehow sensitive?"I say, trying to get Steve on board with our thoughts
"Exactly."Robin says
"So I guess that confirms your suspicion."I add
"Evil Russians."Dustin says
"I can't believe I'm about to agree with this strange child, but,yeah, totally evil Russians."Robin laughs
"So how do we crack it?"Dustin asks
"Well, I guess we translate the rest and hopefully a pattern emerges."I suggest
"A pattern. Right, like maybe "silver cat" is a meeting place?"Dustin says, continuing on
"Or a person."Robin also suggests
"Or a weapon."Dustin points
"It's probably gonna take a super genius to crack it, but...Where's Steve?"Robin says, looking around for him, I notice too
"Hey, Steve. What are you doing?"Robin asks
"Uh, it's a quarter. I need...Do you have a quarter?"Steve asks
"Sure you're tall enough for that ride?"I tease,
"Quarter!"Steve exclaims, Robin tosses it to him
"You need help getting up, little Stevie?"Robin teases as well and I smile at her
"Shh! Would you two just shut up and listen?"Steve says
"Holy shit."Dustin says
"The music." I say on track with what they are going on about
"The music!"Dustin says
"I don't understand."Robin says confused, I roll my eyes
"It's the exact same song on the recording."I tell her
"Maybe they have horses like this in Russia."Robin says
"Indiana Flyer"? I don't...I don't think so.This code, it... didn't come from Russia."Steve pauses
"It came from here."Steve and I say, as I catch on. We all stare at the horse.
