"I see your reasoning now but I'm afraid I know nothing about the inside of the pyramid. Like the boy told you, you have to pay to get inside." Knightly tossed Beda one of the various wrenches. The three of us returned back to Knightly's home and had told him, Alex and Beda about our encounter with Reebok.
"I guess I'll go with plan b then."
"What's plan b, Kate?" I asked.
Kate stretched her arms out "I'll tell you tomorrow morning, for now I think we should get some sleep."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kate plopped down on the bedspread as her and Stella entered the room Knightly provided for them.
Stella leaned against the wall "I've never seen you do that before."
Kate rolled over "Do what?"
"Slap a kid in the face"
"Not a kid according to him"
"You know what I mean" Stella sighed and laid down on her own bedspread "You hate it when we get hurt protecting you yet you also hate it when someone suggest you get hurt for us."
"It's more that he was a selfish brat just begging for help."
"Whatever Kate"
Silence.
"Stel?"
Stella muffled a reply, signaling she was still awake.
"He's like me...I begged for help when I knew I could do things myself. Once I picked myself up you guys came and offered your help. It just struck me hard that he would use me to get what he wanted."
Stella slid over so her back leaned against Kate's "Now was that so hard to tell me?"
Kate laughed "Night Stel"

"Morning!" Knightly waved to Stella as she came down to join us for breakfast. He eagerly got up and handed her a cup of water as that's all he can spare.
"Thank you"
I don't think she noticed his eagerness as she seemed out of it from just waking up. Alex and I have been playing some type of card game all morning. However without him being able to speak, knowing what we're playing is a bit difficult. All I know is that I've lost about five times now.
"Captain sleeping in today?" Beda asked.
Stella took a sip of the water before answering "She's not down here with you guys? Because she wasn't up there when I woke up."
"Her too? Donner and Worm haven't shown up either" I stated. I'm pretty sure they didn't even come back after pick pocketing yesterday.
"No worries, I'm here" Kate entered the room followed by two familiar faces. The man who had been whipped yesterday and the little girl who is his daughter. Upon seeing Stella the little girl ran and gave her a hug. The man still seemed to be in pain and I just managed to catch him before he fell.
Beda gave Kate a wary look "I'm sure you have a reason for this?"
"This would be my plan B. Before I explain anymore has anyone seen Donner or Worm?"
