Enzo and I both looked at each other, our eyes wide and our mouths open.

"How long until they get here?" Enzo asked, quickly stepping out of the rink and going over to the bench to remove his skates. I followed, although when I tried to untie my skates, my hands were shaking so much that I could hardly manage it. Enzo, noticing this, got down on his knees and untied them for me.

They don't know that we know they're coming. If it wasn't for my spies that I have scattered around various towns, I would have no idea."

I didn't bother to ask when or how Luke hired spies, but I didn't care about the logistics. Thanks to his preparedness, we now had a jump start on the upcoming attack.

"Is it just one pack?" I asked. "How big?"

"It was about twenty rogues, with one leader," Luke replied.
