The quiet streets of Star Harbor's residential district for the rich were washed in the soft golden light of the late afternoon.
Miles' car rolled smoothly through the familiar neighborhood roads.
He had barely turned the corner toward Pearl Villa when he suddenly saw a familiar figure standing ahead on the road.
Olivia Pierce.
She stood in the middle of the street waving both hands.
Miles frowned slightly and hit the brakes.
The car stopped with a short screech.
He lowered the window.
"Still chasing cats on the street?"
Olivia rolled her eyes.
"You should stop here."
"My grandma is here."
"She's waiting for you."
Miles looked at her carefully.
Then he stepped out of the car and shut the door behind him.
"Should I be prepared?"
Olivia crossed her arms.
"What do you think she is?"
"She's not going to kill you."
Miles shrugged.
"Don't know."
"Maybe being a ninja runs in the blood."
Olivia groaned.
"Come on."
"A lady is inviting you to her house."
