"SO, UH, WHAT'S THE EMERGENCY?" DECHA ASKED.

Demetri and Decha approached Miguel, Robby, Hawk, and Chae. Demetri glanced around at them, a bag full of his tech gear slung over his shoulder.

"Why'd you have me bring all my gear?" Demetri asked.

Sam texted them in a group chat, saying to meet her and Achara outside of Miguel's apartment. They had all arrived, but Sam and Achara were nowhere to be found.

"You guys know just as much as we do," Miguel replied. "Sam and Achara just told us to meet them here."

Robby's gaze was focused on the ground, his mind elsewhere. Decha figured it no doubt had something to do with Tory.

"And how're things with Tory?" Decha asked, causing Robby to look up.

Robby shrugged. "I don't know. I still can't get a response from h—"

"Tory?" Hawk questioned, cutting Robby off.

The group either turned around or looked straight ahead, the same shock and confusion written on their faces as they saw Achara, Sam, and Tory walking into the courtyard side by side.

"What's, uh..." Miguel questioned, nervously glancing between the three girls. "What's up?"

"What happened to your hand?" Robby asked Tory.

"Uh, training accident. I'm okay," Tory replied, nodding her head to reassure him.

Achara glanced at Robby. He didn't look convinced by Tory's answer. Tory had told her and Sam what actually happened. Achara and Sam exchanged looks with each other, but neither one of them said anything. Achara figured that Tory would tell Robby the truth about everything eventually.

"We think we have a way to prove that it was Silver who assaulted Stingray," Sam announced, explaining why she had asked them all to meet up.

"If the attack happened at the old dojo, then it would've been after Silver installed security cameras," Tory told them.

"So maybe it's all caught on tape," Miguel added.

Robby shook his head, turning to Miguel. "Ah, no, but that place was cleaned out."

"That might not matter," Demetri said, causing everyone to look at him. "I mean, the systems that we sell at Tech Town all save the footage to a central server. When Silver moved out, he probably took the whole system with him."

"I think he did," Tory confirmed. "There's a server in his office at the flagship dojo."

Hawk nodded his head. "If we access it, we could definitely find that footage. We could even post that Stingray clip to their YouTube channel."
