"Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on!"

Robert, who wasn't exactly the bravest soul, jumped in as soon as he grasped what these folks were planning for Spencer. "Come on, man, say something! The Silent Shadows aren't your mom and dad.

Jenna chimed in, "Sophie, save your breath. Colby’s got more than enough tricks up his sleeve to get them talking."
