Five sleepy heads poked out from the bedroom doors
into the hallway. All eyes were pinned on Cindy who
had gotten up to answer the living room phone.

"Cin?"Kathy called clearly still half asleep.
"Whosat?"

Cindy replaced the receiver and turned toward the hall
concern in her hazel eyes. "The Knighties....they need
us to pick Schanke up from the loft."

Instantly the Fod's moved toward the living room.

"Is he okay?"
"Did something happen?"
"Was there a fight with Myra?"
"Did Myra kick him out again?"

"Katrinka didn't give any details....but something's
definetely going on."Cindy replied as she moved toward
her room to get dressed. "Senara you and I are going
to go pick up Schank."

"What can we do?"Leah asked anxiously.

Cindy turned to face her. "Go with Spifff get the Deli
open....for all we know this is a diversionary
tactic."

The FoD's nodded and everybody split to different
rooms to get dressed.

"I can't believe we're going up in *the* elevator to
*the* Loft."Senara muttered as the freight elevator
made it's way to the loft.

Cindy grinned and nodded. "I know but let's
concentrate on why we're here."

"Right...."Senara replied. "To get Schanke."

The elevator came to a stop and they slid the door
open. Katrinka was waiting on the other side. Behind
her were Schanke and a room full of Knighties.

"Hi Katrinka."Cindy greeted as they stepped into the
room. "This is Senara."

"Nice to meet you."Katrinka replied. "Thanks for
coming to pick Schanke up."

"No problem."Cindy said as she moved toward Schanke.
"Did something happen?"

The Knightie's exchanged a worried glance but before
anybody could reply Schanke spoke.

"No."Schankebody assured Cindy as he almost awkwardly
patted her shoulder. "The Loft was just
closest.....and with Myra having the other car."

Cindy nodded as she glanced around the room. There was
something odd about the mood that she couldn't quite
put her finger on.

"We should get going."Senara suggested as the red head
looked at her watch. "Spifff will need our help at the
Deli."

"Right."Cindy acknowledged as she turned back to
Katrinka. "Thanks for calling us Katrinka."

"I'm just sorry that we couldn't have dropped Schanke
off ourselves."Katrinka replied as she walked them to
the elevator. "But the Caddy's having mechanical
problems."

"Don't worry about it."Cindy replied as she stepped
into the elevator and looked back at the room full of
Knighties "Bye everyone."
