Mr.Mendes had a decent yard with a high privacy fence mostly to keep the deer and such from the metro park forest he lived out of his in ground pool. The houses were spread out with large trees between the properties so Josh knew this was a good place to use this book. Since the weather was hot Fransisco decided to go swimming with Ric to play some basketball using the pool hoop he had. Josh asked if he could do a little study for a little bit since he did not really want to go into the pool yet...
Fransisco said sure after some opposition and went inside really quick to change. Ric jumped in the pool after removing his shirt and shoes and Josh set up at a table in the corner of the yard with school books to camouflage the spell book he planned on using today.
