Jamie looked around as Mr. Elders gave a tour of the Solarium. “It looks more like a lair than a solarium.”
“Jamie!” Quinn said. “I don’t think so. Besides, an actual lair could be anything, like an office building or an ordinary house.”
“Lair? I suppose it could be,” Mr. Elders said.
‘I hope he’s joking,’ Quinn thought as she looked around. ‘Lawndale doesn’t need any new villains.’
“But that word sounds sinister,” Mr. Elders added.
“It does, doesn’t it?” Quinn asked.
“But this place looks like one of those places in one of those movies,” Jamie said.
“But this isn’t a movie!” Quinn objected.
“No, it isn’t,” Mr. Elders said. “But this building has been used for other purposes in its history.”
“Of course,” Quinn said, as she remembered what she told Jamie about the Historia earlier.
“What?” Mr. Elders asked.
“What else is here?” Quinn asked. “Maybe something that’s still drawing power?”
“I doubt it,” Mr. Elders responded. “I had a good look at the place before I bought it.”
Jamie thought about it as he, Quinn and Mr. Elders searched the building the Solarium was in. It looked more like a lair than he had thought. ‘But Lawndale hasn’t had villains in it’s past?’
They went down to the basement. “I guess I didn’t really look down here,” Mr. Elders said. “I was focused on the rest of the building and establishing the solarium.”
“Sometimes it’s something that’s overlooked that can cause a problem,” Quinn said.
Meanwhile, as his grandfather and other two were searching the building, a bored Sam Elders was thinking. While his grandfather had pushed aside Jamie’s comment about the Solarium being a lair, he had overheard it and was considering it. ‘We can be villains and be worthy opponents to SpiderGirl and the others,’ he thought. ‘Groundhog Day was too far of course.’
‘There’s definitely something here,’ Quinn thought, as her enhanced hearing was picking something up. She wandered in that direction and threw a tarp aside. “Look here,” she said. “It looks like some kind of electric furnace.”
“You’re right,” Mr. Elders said. “Here I thought the building just had really good insulation.”
“Now we just need to find the off switch,” Quinn said.
“Over here,” Jamie said. He flipped off the switch and the glow of the antiquated furnace started to fade.
Quinn and Jamie emerged from the solarium and saw that the street lights were no longer flickering. “We did it, Quinn,” Jamie said. “But what now?”
“We head back to the Historia and fill the others in,” Quinn said.
“Right.”
