“We should follow them,” said Chuck, as they watched the statues march into the building.

“There’s no point in that,” said Major Works. “They’re trapped. You see, that building isn’t an Underground station anymore. It was shut up years ago and no trains go through. I’m going to find out what the police have planned. Agent Flashfeet, keep your team where it is until you hear from me.”

“Yes, sir,” said Jet.

“Your team?” said Donnie and Bruce together.

“I’ve got the sunglasses,” replied Jet defensively.

“Yes, and now it’s time to take them off, Jet,” said Chuck.

“You’re just jealous because he picked me to wear them and be the chief spy,” responded Jet.

“We are not spies,” said Chuck calmly. “We are the Clan of the Scorpion. We don’t follow orders. We follow our instincts. Now tell me, Jet, what are your instincts telling you?”

Jet looked down at the statues and the police cars gathered around the building. Overhead, a helicopter hovered low, keeping an eye on all the winged statues flying into the building.

“I think this has been too carefully planned to be a mistake,” said Jet, removing the sunglasses and placing them on the roof. “We need to find out what’s going on, and get the Stone of Life back, not just sit here waiting for instructions!”

Chuck smiled. “Agreed. Donnie, do you have any gray paint?”

“Of course.” Donnie pulled two cans of gray spray-paint out of his bag.

“Let’s statue up,” said Chuck.

“Do me first,” said Bruce.

“OK. Keep your eyes shut,” said Donnie. He sprayed the two cans at Bruce until he disappeared in a cloud of paint. When it cleared, Bruce was exactly the same color as the statues marching below them.

“Hey Bruce, you feeling OK?” asked Jet.

“Yeah, why?” asked Bruce.

“You seem a bit off color,” replied Jet.
