THE GROUP OF TEENAGERS LEFT STORAGE AT AROUND THE CLOSING TIME. THE AXOLOTL WATCHED THEM CURIOUSLY. THEY MUST BE BREAKING IN, SHE THOUGHT. SHE ADJUSTED THE SKY BLUE BOW AROUND HER NECK AND SMILED. "THEY THINK THEY GOT THE BEST OF OLD, ADDIE, EH? WELL, THEY DIDN'T." SHE TURNED BRISKLY AND HOPPED OFF TO GO TELL CORAL. AS MUCH AS ADDIE WANTED TO CATCH THOSE TEENAGERS HERSELF, IT WAS A BIG PLACE. PLENTY OF AREAS SHE WASN'T ALLOWED TO ENTER FOR CRIMINALS TO HIDE. SHE NEEDED TO ALERT THE OTHERS OF THE BREAK-IN. IN THE BACKSTAGE CHARGING CENTERS, OCTAVIA OTTER WAS PRACTICING GUITAR. SHE WASN'T NEARLY AS GOOD AS RONNIE HAD BEEN, BUT SHE WAS ALL THEY HAD. EMMET EAGLE WAS MUTTERING TO HIMSELF. ADDIE DIDN'T BOTHER THE EVER-WORRIED EMMET AND CONTINUED UNTIL SHE CAME TO CORAL'S ROOM. THE MAIN CHARACTER AT THE LOCATION WAS, AS ALWAYS, PRACTICING. SHE NEVER STOPPED, BEEN WHEN HER VOICE MALFUNCTIONED AND HER BATTERY GOT LOW. SHE CLEARLY WANTED TO LIVE UP TO SOME UNKNOWN AND IMPOSSIBLE EXPECTATIONS. "CORAL," ADDIE ASKED. CORAL LOOKED UP. "YEAH?" ADDIE SIGHED. "SOME TEENAGERS BROKE IN."; CH. 3: SPY
