So, the plan had been hatched, and Abby was all nervous with butterflies fluttering feverishly in her stomach, not just from the change that was electrically looming, but from the fact that another person was present with her so close to the change.

“It’s too dangerous for you!” Abby was saying as they walked across the parking lot toward the main entrance of the dome. She scanned to the left and right—the lot was empty. They were walking quickly, but just a little too furtively for Abby’s comfort. Anybody who might see them would know they were up to no good.

“You ain’t gonna make it without a distraction. Plain and simple.” Stump was breathing heavily under his words as he quickly shuffled along beside her with the awkward hitch in his gait. He suddenly pulled Abby to a stop and stroked the baseball bat that he was holding in his right hand. “There is always security around the main building. Ain’t no big thing for you, but you can bet that they’re gonna want to do their job and shoo off the crazy homeless black man with a baseball bat in his hands.”

Abby objected, “It might take a bad turn… get ugly. You sure about that?” She gestured at the bat in his hand.

Stump leaned in closer to Abby, and she could smell the sunflower seeds still on his breath. The orange glow of the parking lot lights illuminated his head with a halo. “You know I would never hurt a fly. Just don’t tell the hobgoblins that!” His beautiful smile lit up the dim twilight below laughing brown eyes.

Abby knew he was going to say that just before he said it because she had seen all of this before. Sure enough. She smiled back at him and nodded. “Let’s do this.”

“Yes ma’am!” Stump grinned and tossed the bat up, catching it with his other hand. “That’s my girl.”

“Soon to be your dragon!” Abby retorted and grinned. Stump guffawed, and they started toward the dome again, and as they drew in closer. Abby noticed the security cameras that Stump said would be there.

“Like I said,” Stump was whispering now. “The cameras are all over the entrance gates and the reserved parking garages where the rich folks like to park. Most of ‘em are aimed toward all those glass windows in the pretty shops by the main gate.” He paused and pointed with the bat. “You go up that ramp, stick to the inner edges where it’s darker. Main floor, you circle round to the back, and like I said, ain’t no easy way up top! No ladders or catwalks… the Superdome is a modern wonder of the world. I don’t know how they did it, or how they get up top without no ladders. You just gonna have to do…whatever it is you gonna do.” He smiled at her. “Should be easy for a little dragon. And that roof is made of steel. Even Hurricane Katrina couldn’t blow it off. You’ll be fine.
