CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX OF DOOM
The Ataks, now fully armed, left the building and began marching in flawless sync toward the Dagberts.

"Should we warn Fred and the Dagberts?" Rune asked.

"No," said an exasperated Dana. "That demigod's getting what he deserves..."

Accepting that, Rune ran along the side of the Ataks' formation until he came face to face with Kat. "So, what exactly are we doing to the Dagberts?"

Kat fished a piece of paper from her pocket. "What we should have done ages ago. Check out this flier."

Rune took one look at it before saying, "Yeah, I never learned how to read Greek."

Kat nodded. "It says 'Wanted, Dead or Alive. "The Man In Black" Fred Dagbert. Reward: Twenty million drachmas'. The gods have been offering a reward for Fred's capture. So, we're going to capture him and send him to Pirano."

"The gods are offering a reward?" Rune echoed. "What'd he do?"

Kat shrugged. "Whatever it was, it was before he started hiding out here in Lokume. The Dagberts came much later." She tossed the paper to the ground, where the other Ataks proceeded to step on it.

Rune walked back to the rest of the Team. "So... Kat's going to send Fred to the same place that Rod sent Louis and Jack. Turns out there's a reward for him."

"A reward?" Dana suddenly lit up. "How much?"

"Twenty million drachmas," Rune said.

Dana nodded thoughtfully for a couple seconds before pushing Rune out of the way and running right past the Ataks.

"Guess she thinks she can take Fred down on her own," Caitlyn muttered.

"With all due respect, there's no saying she can't," Roy pointed out.

"Still, she's one of us. Let's help her out," Rune finished.

"Should we take the shortcut back to the Dagberts?" Caitlyn asked.

Roy nodded. "With all due respect, Anoichtó!"

Rune, Roy, and Caitlyn stepped into the portal back to the Dagberts. Dana ran past Kat straight to the building. Kat and the Ataks never broke formation. When they all passed, the wanted poster was the only thing left sitting there.

A figure walked up, knelt to the ground, and picked up the flyer. He gave a wide grin.

"Well, Man In Black..." he said. "It looks like I've found you at last..."
