"The week is long. The silver cat feeds. When blue meets yellow. In the west." The five read from the the only words they could translate. The mall had closed a few hours ago by now, Tate saying he didn't have to be home so offered to stay.

"What kind of broke english is that?" Tate asked with squinted eyes and a eyebrow raise.

"I mean, it just can't be right." Steve spoke as he lead the four out of the shop, shutting the loud door behind them.

"It's right." Robin said, offended that he was questioning her skills.

"If Robin says it's right, it's right." Scout said as she nodded her head.

"Honestly, I think this is great news." Dustin spoke up as they walked the empty food court.

"How is this great news? So much for being american heros, it's total nonsense." Steve spoke up with a scoff.

"One hundred percent nonsense." Tate agreed as Scout elbowed him in the ribs.

"It's not non sense, it's too specific. It's obviously a code." Dustin added in with an annoyed tone.

"For sure a code." Scout agreed, her boots squeaking on the floor slightly.

"What do you mean a code?"

"Like a super secret spy code."

"Oh woah, someone call ghost busters."

"That's a total stretch."

"I don't know, is it?"

"Could be a super spy code, what would you know?"

"You're buying into this?"

"Just for kicks! Let's entertain the possibility that this is a secret russian transmission."

"I like your choice of words."

"I didn't understand half of that."

"My translation is correct, I know that for sure. So, the silver cat feeds... why would anyone talk like that unless they were trying to mask the true meaning of their message?"

"Exactly!"

"And why would anybody want to mask the true meaning of their message unless it was somehow sensitive?"

"For sure sensitive."

"So I guess that confirmed your suspicions..."

"Evil Russians."

"I can't believe i'm about to agree with this strange child, but yeah, totally evil russians." Robin laughed as she looked toward Steve, who rolled his eyes.

"I mean... it kinda makes sense." Tate agreed as Scout pumped her fist in the air.

"Oh my, not you too." Steve pouted as Tate shrugged his shoulders.
