Luke's POV

"Well that went great." Luke muttered as the boys made it back to their headquarters. The moon was higher in the sky now, clear and full and bright, illuminating most of the church.

Reggie swung his left arm in wide arcs. "I think Flynn dislocated my shoulder."

Luke laid the flag back in place and threw himself into a wing-backed chair. Obviously his plan had not worked, so they needed a different tactic. He needed his teammates opinions.

He looked at Carlos, considering the younger boy. "What do you think we should do this time little dude?"

"Glad you asked." Carlos responded in his very Carlos way. He pressed his fingers together villainously, the halo of dark hair framing his head contrasting the act. "My sister is probably feeling like they're gaining momentum since they won the first round, so she's getting confident. This means they're gonna' play less defensively and risk more. Julie's the only one that hasn't been guard so she'll be there, and Flynn probably won't be far off. This means Alex is either coming this way or helping Flynn."

Luke and Reggie exchanged an impressed look.

"You're either way off, or a genius." Luke bumped his fist against Carlos's chest. "We need to play more defensively this round, but that's what they'll be expecting, so we stay on defense and make it look like offense. To do that they need to come to us though, and honestly, if we get Alex out the rest will be a piece of cake."

"Oh I have the best idea for that! I've been waiting so long for this." Reggie pulled something out of the inner pocket of his leather jacket. Luke was highly concerned to see that it was a dark curly wig. He stopped Carlos from asking Reggie where he got it, happier without the information.

Reggie backed into the shadows on the other side of the room, fixing the wig on his head. When he crouched down and started to mimic Julie, calling Alex's name, Luke was impressed and a little disturbed by how much he resembled her.

"So I'm guessing you trick Alex and we ambush him?" Luke asked and Reggie gave him a proud smile.

"Genius." Carlos whispered.

Alex's POV

Alex and Julie had split up to sneak around in the other team's area, so when he heard her calling to him already, he was immediately wary. She was squatting behind the shelf that held the church's individual mailing boxes, beckoning to him. As he neared Alex determined that something was off—just as something moved behind him.
