~3 rd POV ~

Grace stood up with the stealth of a ninja and the grace of a ballerina she started to walk out of the lair before Leo called out to her. In an attempt to be cool voice " Hey grace where are you going?" In an kind and calm voice she responded " Oh Leo I need to prepare 2 dozen (24) cupcakes for a friends birthday party. I know that it is unusual that a guest would bring dessert to someone else's party but my friend is doing a tea party. The bakery is really expensive. Everyone at her house knows that i can cook and bake so they asked me if I could make something. Admittedly I am making extra just in case something happens to some of the cupcakes somehow. I need to be there at exactly 3 pm. It should end around 6 m. Unfortunately a room full of 10 teenage girls love to talk. Unfortunately I don't know all of these girls personally, although they have come up to me before to ask for help on school work when I was in high school two years ago. Therefore I should only be out until 8:30 ish. If it looks as if it will take longer than I will just get out of there fast. I will still be able to send you where some Kraang labs are located. Do not worry. When walking I will have my apartment keys clenched between my fingers. If you remember that first night that we met each other I was fighting without any weapons and I still managed to kick some major but. A key when it is used properly will send someone to the emergency room. I will be protected very well."Leo Replied with shock written all over his face"How did you know that we saw you fighting?"With a huge smile on Grace's face she answered "Girls most of the time feel it when someone is looking at them. You were about to leave weren't you? When Donnie exclaimed "Look at that!"He said it rather loudly for me to hear. The book that was covering my face was just a pretense. I was concentrating on the world around me behind a wall. The 'wall' was really the book held in front of my face. Don't worry I doubt that April heard Donnie say that. She doesn't pay attention when out and about in the street much. Unlike her I do that all the time a habit that has sprouted from listening to the news about all the kidnappings, rape, street fights, and everything that happens in the back of dark alleyways. "Oh I was just wondering where you were going at ten in the morning. "Leo admitted. "Ok I will see you later Leo." Grace answered before walking carefully and with the grace of a ballerina out of the lair. Leo was looking after her with a mixture of longing and sadness.
