So, so distracted and it took her a few more seconds to recall that she had been assigned a task by Trent.

Right.

The sack she had been trying to steal from Heath. Claudine lowered her arm and opened her eyes cautiously. But where was Heath? Claudine blinked in confusion. Why the smoke? She had no idea, of course, what he was planning. When the smoke finally did clear, the Snakette eyed Heath with suspicion. He certainly seemed normal: there was nothing different about his appearance, at least. Wait… the sack was missing. Claudine’s eyebrows creased. Had someone surrounded him in smoke then snatched the sack? And why wasn’t he trying to get the one she held in her hand?

Maybe he was just messing with her. Maybe he wanted her to think the sack was no longer in his possession.

“Accio sack! Accio sack!’’ She’d try a few more times just to be sure the sack really was gone.
Heath’s dark eyes darted from the pocket where he hid the sack to Claudine, and he noticed her eyeing him with suspicion. Oh, no! She didn’t think he was deliberately deceiving her, did she? She should know him better than that! It was Trent that he was trying to fake out, not her. He couldn’t very well just hand her his sack! That would only land them both in trouble, which was the very thing he was trying to avoid!

His mind raced. What else could he do to help her find the sack without attracting unwanted attention? He was running out of ideas and starting to internally panic, though no sign of emotion showed on his face. The series of summoning charms from Claudine eased his mind somewhat. Good, she caught on!

The sack lifted out of Heath’s pocket and sailed through the air toward Claudine. He made a couple of futile grabs for it before raising his wand. He had to look like he was at least trying to get it back, but he’d never cast a spell with the intention of getting it wrong before. That sounded hard! A look of intense concentration crossed his face, a look that one might easily mistake for determination. Don’t work, get it wrong, he thought with every bit of will he had as he made the wand movement for the summoning charm. “Accio sack,” he said, his voice barely audible. Don’t work, don’t work… He watched nervously; the sack paused midair for a second, then continued on its path to Claudine, closer and closer until it was near enough for her to grab...
