Jon leapt forward, but already Krystal's hand reached out and went to hand the stone back to Louie. Jon grabbed her hand, and reached for the stone. She screamed out that he was hurting her, and tried to pull her hand away. She released her grasp on the stone, and it fell forward.
Jon released her hand and reached for the stone which fell right into the hands of Louise. So intensly Jon was watching the stone that he didn't see Louise's free hand come up in a undercut that connected to Jon's jaw and sent him staggering back in pain.
"Great girl Krystal. You are my best girl ever." Louise stated as he slowly got him from his chair and walked around the front of his desk. "Now, if I get this right, this stone must be a wishing stone." He looked to Krystal.
Krystal nodded back, "Yes, you promise I will be the headliner?"
Smiling Louise nodded, and watched Jon slowly get up from the floor, "Oh yes dear, you will be one of the headliners. But first, tell me how to use the rock."
"No, Karyn please, don't give him that power!" Jon stand finally standing, turning on the man.
Krystal looked to Jon, then back towards Louise, seeming torn.
