"The High School" Steve said self assuredly.
"Why on earth would you choose the high school Steve?" Debbie asked.
"It's perfect. Debbie remember when I was invited for that ceremony at the school last year? It was for the opening of new S.T.E.M labs. Those will have everything we need. Plus it should be empty. The faculty and students should long gone by now." Steve explained.
"Why does it matter if anyone is around?" Beth asked.
"This whole time we've been chasing Erica and just missing her. Now we're going to draw her away from the city and set a trap for her. Once we have her secured we'll cut her down to size and can finally begin to heal." Steve explained.
"And don't forget restore your size as well dear." Debbie laughed.
Aww. You sure Debbie? We'd definitely save on groceries." Steve laughed.
"Not funny mister." Debbie said with a smile.
"Spoil sport. That can all be taken care of after we deal with Erica. Speaking of which. One of you has to draw her to the high school while the other works with me to repair the shrink ray."
Debbie step forward without hesitation.
"Debbie are you sure?" Beth asked.
"Yes Beth. I am. I can't pretend to know as much about Steve's work as you do. Besides I know the roads leading to the high school from years of dropping off our kids. Just have the shrink ray ready to go by the time I arrive."
"If you're going to do this Debbie don't take any unnecessary risks. For our kids and for me." Steve warned.
"Don't worry Steve if I need to lose her I will but I won't need to because I have faith in the two most brilliant people I know."
"Oh Debbie!"
Beth reached over and hugged the older woman crying a little as they embraced.
"How are you going to get her to follow you Debbie?" Steve asked.
Debbie looked down at her husband over Beth's shoulder and smiled.
"I think I know what Erica wants. It's about time I give it to her."
"Why on earth would you choose the high school Steve?" Debbie asked.
