Kit could not make up her mind. Reveal herself or stay hidden a little longer. There seemed no reason to keep hiding now that her friends were here and were in no immediate danger, but still, it went against her nature. Deciding to keep to the shadows a little longer, especially considering the awkward friendliness of the guy in the cowboy hat toward Raven, Kit moved subtly to scan the room. As she did so, a hint of movement near the back caught her eye. Someone was there. In fact, it looked like more than one person. Now on alert, Kit held her weapons close and made ready for action in case she thought Raven or any of the others were in danger.

Shifting her eyes to take a quick look back at the center of the room, she saw Blaze, followed by Matthew, were moving into the ring. The sight did not feel right, yet Kit could not put her finger on why she was so alarmed. Is this some kind of trap? she wondered. Just then, Kit noticed one of the blonde twins was bumbling in the direction of the people hiding in the shadows. He was headed straight toward where Kit knew they were waiting. Now she was torn. Apparently, the blonde men were allies of her friends and so should be protected. Yet, if Kit made a move to stop him before he ran into trouble, she would reveal her position and give up any element of surprise.

Before she could make up her mind, it was made for her when the second blonde man called out to the first. “Brody, come look at this,” he said, standing in front of a wall of framed posters. “All the big time champions.” Brody turned to look. Kit saw the figure in the shadows sneak forward and raise what looked like a club.

“Like pictures?” Brody asked, clearly not seeing the danger. Kit knew it was act now or never and she leaped onto the top of the row of chairs in front of her. With a quick twist of her wrist, she sent one of her small but lethal throwing stars in the direction of the shadow.

"Kit!" she heard Raven yell. "No!" It was too late for Kit to stop. The star flew true and would have struck the person with the club if not for Raven's shout. Turning, the stranger caught the star with a thunk in the wood of his club.

“What in the hell is going on?” the man in the cowboy hat roared. “For the love of Pete, Andy is that you back there? Are you nuts? And what in the world is the thing in the cloak?”

“That’s Kit. She’s with us,” Raven murmured.

“Well, I’ll be,” said the cowboy with a broad grin. “Get her up here. I need to see this. That was some kind of throw.”
