"Master, do you wish me to teleport you out of there?" Lumiosa asked Matt. Sophie waiting in nervous antic.i.p.ation of what he"d do."I wish to be visible again," Matt spoke, and in an instant, he was. "h.e.l.lo everyone."

"You"re lucky you"ve got a genie boy, or we"d probably have to wipe your memory, or worse," Sarah said somewhat sinisterly. "Where are they, anyway?"
"Lumiosa, I wish for you to teleport here with your lamp," Matt commanded. Lumiosa then immediately appeared, kneeled next to him, with her lamp in Matt"s lamp. Alex saw the lamp, and his eyes widened as he recognised it as the one that had been stolen from him, but he stayed quiet about it.
"So who are you?" Neil asked him.
"Matt Evans," Matt replied. "I thought I"d pay you all a visit."
"I"m Brian, and this is Sarah, Alex, Neil, Brian, and our newest member, Sophie," Brian said.
"Oh I"m well aware of who Alex and Sophie are," Matt told them. "They had a meeting the other day in his office."
"How did you know that!?" Alex asked angrily.
"I was watching you, invisible," Matt lied. "I overheard something very interesting while I was there. Apparently Alex here has 3 lamps that he"s hiding from you all."
"That"s not true!" Alex protested.
"There"s a magical safe in the bas.e.m.e.nt which I can"t get in," Matt told them all. "I"m a.s.suming that"s where they are."
"Well perhaps we should take a look at this safe," Jürgen said. "And put Apriya back in her lamp. We don"t want her interfering."
"Very well," Alex said, standing up. "Miss Showers, back in your lamp."
"Yes Master," she obliged, fading into a cloud of grey smoke, which shot upstairs to where her lamp presumably was.
"Off we go then," Alex frowned.
The group then walked downstairs to the bas.e.m.e.nt, where the safe was.
"Open it up, Alex," Neil ordered him. Alex merely sighed, and opened it. There, sitting there on a cus.h.i.+on, were 3 magical lamps.
"Oh Alex, I"m disappointed with you," Sarah said.
"Well I think that this ends our meeting for tonight," Brian said. "I"ll take these lamps and add them to the others. The rest of us will convene to decide what to do about Alex."
Everyone went back upstairs to get ready to go home.
"Tell me Matt, do you live locally?" Sophie asked him, annoyance obvious in her voice.
"Why yes I do...Sophie, was it?" Matt smirked in response.
"Then please allow me to take you home." Sophie practically dragged Matt into the car, Lumiosa sitting next to him, while Alexis drove. Sophie waited until they were away before starting her rant.
"You f.u.c.king moron!" She shouted. "What were you doing in there!?"
"I couldn"t get into the safe, so I came to see what you guys were doing," Matt replied. "When I got caught, I improvised."
"That wasn"t in the plan!"
"So? They seem like nice people Sophie. I don"t think we"re in any danger."
"Matt, those girls he"s got working at that place have been his family"s slaves for 200 years! And you saw how the others were rude to Alexis. They see their genies as possessions, not people. Hence why they"ve got 217 of them locked up."
"Well maybe if we join their group, we can gain access to those genies, and get them out of there."
"Still...I don"t trust them."
"Sophie, perhaps Matt is right," Alexis said.
"Alexis, shut up," Sophie ordered her.
"I get you"re upset, and you don"t trust them, but I really think it might benefit us to stay with them," Matt said. "Didn"t you say you were glad you"d found another guy with a genie?"
"Yes, but these people are different. They"re not like you. I agree we should stay with them, but they"re not our friends. We"re with them to free the captured genies. And then, who knows?"
"Alright then. Look...I"m sorry."
"It"s alright. I"m sorry too. I shouldn"t have shouted."
"No, you should have. I went against the plan, and now that Alex guy"s suspicious of me. He"s gonna want to know how I got Lumiosa"s lamp."
"Well we"ll have to see what happens next. What the other members do."
They pulled up outside Matt"s house, and he and Lumiosa got out.
"I don"t know what"s going to happen now," Sophie said. "I suppose we could be together a bit now at least. Just say we hooked up after tonight."
"Do you wanna come in?" Matt asked. "Not necessarily for s.e.x. Just for cuddles if you want."
"No, it"s fine. I just want to go home and rest. Thanks though."
"Alright then. Goodnight Sophie."
"Goodnight Matt."
The two of them kissed, and parted for the night.
