Pounding on my door snaps me out of sleep. I leap up at the same time Sparkle does."Another raid? So soon?"

The next few nights are uneventful. The headmaster stays in his office late and then walks home. Harriet, Sun, Marie, and I decide to follow the headmaster in pairs, so that one of us can run for help if anything goes wrong. Marie is with me tonight, and by the way her eyes dart around the darkened street, I can tell that she's praying for an uneventful night.I have the opposite wish.
