"Well it's coming from somewhere...! I don't know where, but the more
energy you use, the greater the problems you'll have when it's time to

"So that means if we try to move the town..." he began.
"There's no way to say," Justin said. "But it probably won't be

Just then, a dark wind blew against the building. The glass doors
popped open momentarily and then locked back into place. The widows
high above the lobby rattled ominously. The lights, for a moment,
flickered.
"Woah," Kurt muttered, "how's that for coincidence?"
"Do that again," Tom prompted.
"Do what?" Justin asked.
"That wind thing."
"I didn't do it!"
"Well, just say something like 'the world is doomed' and see what
happens..."
Justin opened his mouth, then thought better of it and closed it again.
"Say what you want," Shenika said, "but that's enough to convince me
that this has been nothing but a big waste of my time." And with that,
she disappeared.
"Where'd she go?!" Zeke asked. "Who did that?"
"She did," Justin said.
