The three gathered outside Elenore's office hear the below:

"I'm worried." Kade's voice, a soft southern voice.
"I've noticed." Elenore's voice, light and happy even though it doesn't seem to match the mood.
"What do you think is causing it?"
"I don't know. Can't find out without going -" Elenore's voice drops and only Katalina hears the rest.

A loud crash is heard in the foyer and the late summer storm that threatened to break all day finally let go all of it's furry and lightning flashed followed not a full count of two-thousand later by thunder.

"Better close up the school." Elenore's voice was back at normal level. And then Kade's heavy footsteps were heard coming toward the door. There was not enough time for any of the three students to get to the end of the hall and around the corner before he would exit.
