"How... how is that possible?! (Poz's jaw hit the floor.)"
"Hehe... Sonia spotted you the moment you arrived. To avoid alerting you, Levy and I pretended to leave. (Purple Meow Meow looked immensely pleased with herself.)"
The moment Viola finished speaking, Blue Baby emerged carrying two bundles of rope. (Jade and Troy: Damn! So they weren't really retreating? What do we do now... go back?)

Big Baldy hesitated, but
