[quote=Shane][colour=Steelblue]"We need them more off-balance. Either through the girl who wants out so we can scatter 'em. Or, by being proactive and knocking them down before they can regroup. 'Cause, we're not usually on the same page. If we do try and draw 'em to us, there's a higher chance than I'd like of us fucking it up and those kids making off with the other statue."[/colour][/quote]


Shane had a point... Justin admitted to himself, but he also noted that Shane did not have an ounce of faith in his family. Now, Justin admitted that a lot of these people were probably useless due to living a pampered life and never having to get their hands dirty once... they were probably on the same level as a group of idiotic witches. Which was a little bit insulting to the Vanburens, but he had a feeling that both groups are fairly new to magic and thus were as experienced as the rest of these people. Justin knew that there are more threats out there, lurking, and he would be stupid to think that there wouldn't be [i]other[/i] people after they supply Apparitions. Georgie sealing them away in her pocket dimension isn't going to do much when they're knocking on their front door wondering where in the world they went. If they don't just sneak into the house and kill the family in their sleep ([s]because that's what Justin would do[/s]).

[color=red]"... And you're saying that luring them out somewhere and ambushing them [i]wouldn't[/i] throw them off guard?"[/color] Justin chuckled for a second as he ran his hand through his hair. He was going to stick to his idea because... it was easier to fight off an attacker on your terms than it would be to play on their terms. Of [i]course[/i], there were a few members of the Wiccan faction that they had little to no information about. Or there could be more.

They needed to figure something out fast... Justin would rather not have the Wiccans surprise [i]them[/i] when they're less prepared.

Sabrina had covered her mouth, holding her tongue when Shane spoke... she honestly felt hurt that Shane had so little faith in her family. Yeah, she knew they were not perfect, a pain in the ass at best... but, would they fuck this up as badly as Shane surmised? Sabrina didn't feel useless, she felt different with the power of Mary Roberts at her disposal. While it wasn't as flashy as Oscar or Shane's abstractions, or maybe even Trisha's, it was something that Sabrina knew made her something... different. They could stop the Wiccans if they stopped reaching for each other's throats for just one god damn second. Sabrina's eyes drifted towards Georgie, Tansy, and Trisha for just a moment.

[quote=Oscar][color=Gold]“But I do agree that contacting the healer is a good way to go, cause we can always try to lure them that way.”[/color][/quote]
[color=darkgray]“Perfect weather for it. After that we can invite the Wiccans out for ice cream, It sounds like we might’ve formed a plan. So in summary, we attempt to contact the turncoat and bring her to a secluded location. Potentially we can get some info from her, but considering how on edge the Wiccans might be it’s more likely they’ll follow her. So we spring an ambush, capture one of them, send the rest fleeing, find out where this Triple Goddess is and hit her before the Wiccans can regroup.”[/color]


[color=red]"... but this is what I keep saying,"[/color] Justin injected, irritated - probably a lot less professionally than he wanted to come off, [color=red]"Do we have a way [i]to[/i] contact her? Everyone keeps saying that we should contact her, and all, but nobody's talking about [i]how[/i] we're gonna do it?"[/color]

[color=coral]"Well, we know where their little evil lair is,"[/color] Sabrina finally added something. [color=coral]"Can't we just go there and find her? It can't be that difficult, can it?"[/color] She sighed as she rolled her eyes, and her eyes drifted upwards towards the skyline. Out here, Sabrina could see the stars in the skies at night - Araminta wasn't the most urban city in the world but it was always so damn bright at night-

... From the corner of her eyes, she saw that same silhouette of that skeletal being with horns wearing a suit. Hands behind its back, watching down on them from the roof of the Vanburen estate. He disappeared again in a cloud of black smoke, Sabrina was tempted to bring attention to it but she was wondering if this was really... real.

[color=red]"I mean..."[/color] Justin trailed off for a second when he realized that she had a point. [color=red]"Does anyone here have any type of stealth ability?"[/color]

[quote=Tansy][color=springgreen]“Daddy’s clinic,”[/color][/quote]

[color=red]"... [i]Please[/i] use any word other than Daddy,"[/color] Justin begged Tansy.

[quote=Ezra][color=darkgray]“Does that work?”[/color][/quote]

Justin grabbed onto his chin... as he pondered for a second. A construction site would be away from the general public, and if it is insured they wouldn't have to worry about the damage. The only problem would be the unnecessary attention a fight would bring. [color=red]"I'll have to take a look."[/color] Justin flatly stated before he continued,

[color=red]"I know I said splitting up is a bad idea... mostly I meant that one person flying solo is a bad idea here but I digress; how about one group sets up the trap and the other group tries to find this defector?"[/color]

He took in a deep breath and thought about all the ways this could go wrong but this was a situation in which there were no perfect solutions... he exhaled.

No easy way outs either.

He was glad they weren't all dumping this on him, but he knew that he had to prove himself as the supernatural expert or else they would just find someone else. He turned towards Arabelle who was questioning Georgie and said,

[color=red]"You should be there to go meet this girl."[/color]
