CHAPTER FIVE

Nickel was the first person downstairs for breakfast. It hadn't been storming over Dane's house, so Nickel had no idea whether the storm had held through the night. He was hopeful that Platinum was still safe wherever he had hidden up in the mountain. Lumie wandered downstairs just as Nickel was fixing himself a bowl of cereal, so Nickel helped Lumie fill his bowl too. Dane was only a few minutes behind them, but by the time he was finished eating, Nickel was starting to get antsy.

All the dishes were put into the sink. Mercury would dump them in the dishwasher before he went to work in an hour. Dane would be at his office much earlier than normal, but Nickel didn't care. He needed to be there to help Platinum, and something told Nickel that today would be the day he would finally have that chance.

The office was still dark when they arrived. They had beaten Becky there, which didn't happen very often. Nickel took his hand from Dane's shoulder and hurried to the front door to unlock it and turn on the lights. Lumie let go of Dane's hand and went to the nearby window to look out at the street.

Nickel moved to his too-small desk next. He opened his laptop cover and hit the button to start it up. The phone's message light was blinking.

"There's a message on the machine," Nickel called into Dane's office where he was also getting set up for the day.

"Go ahead and listen to it. Take notes for Becky," Dane replied quickly.

Nickel picked up the handset and held it to his ear then hit the button for the messages.

This is Georgetown Electric with a great deal on solar panels!

Nickel hit the delete key. The machine beeped and moved to the next message.

Hey, this is Ryan next door at the grocery store. Platinum, that kid you asked me about, is here right now. I snuck a glance at him just now, and he looks to me like he's getting ready to skip town. I'll try to convince him to head your way first, but you might want to come over here…

Nickel hung up before the message had finished playing. "Platinum's at the grocery store right now!" he yelled excitedly to Dane.

Lumie was already outside and halfway down the sidewalk. He was heading straight for a young man with white hair braided and pinned to his head who was walking along the sidewalk away from the consulting firm. Nickel jogged after them.

A large white commercial van with no windows surged past Nickel, driving much faster than most cars bothered in the sleepy town. A side door popped open, and Nickel saw a man lean out and reach for Lumie and Platinum.

"Lumie! Platinum!" Nickel shrieked, sending a jet of water at the truck. His magic didn't rebound, exactly. Nickel wasn't entirely certain where his magic went, just that it vanished before it could hit the van. Platinum spun and sent a wave of air at the truck.
