When we last left our fearless (and judgmentless) Super Secret Yoga Crime Fighting Team, they were non-reacting without expectation at the thwarting of a series of crimes in Berkley, Michigan. Click here to learn more about the Super Secret Yoga Crime Fighting Team. Today, however, Maddie, the team's double-jointed chakra healer (and Web designer) received an urgent telephone call on the super secret rainbow phone. It was the prime minister of the small Central American nation of Belize.
"Hello Right Honorable Said Musa" exclaimed Maddie. "What can the Super Secret Yoga Crime Fighting Team help you with today?" she asked.
"Well, Maddie," answered the Right Honorable Said Musa in the official language of Belize, English. "We have an urgent shipment of much-needed yoga mats approaching Belize near the 322 km long Belize Barrier Reef, and we have intercepted intelligence reports that a nefarious band of Ninja Kung Fu Pirates are on a course to intercept the ship and steal the yoga mats. Please, I need the help of the Super Secret Yoga Crime Fighting Team. Can you help?" the Right Honorable Said Musa pleaded.
"Of course," answered Maddie, alarmed at the thought of Ninjas and Kung Fu guys banding together to spread havoc, produce poorly written action movies, and generally terrorize the high seas. "We'll be there as soon as possible," she said as she lit a nag champa candle, which began spreading its gentle awakening aroma and healing light out across the world, reaching the Super Secret Yoga Crime Fighting Team (and Dharma the Robot), and tenderly informing them that they must assemble to fight crime...or possibly the message was that they needed to assemble to learn Ashtanga Yoga. ( The team was still getting the bugs out of the warning system.) They used to use cell phones to contact each other, but the constant ringing and the swooping off into the dark to fight crime was making people suspicious. They then tried the tangy scent of just-opened tangerines as a warning scent, but Dharma the Robot had started rusting from the tangerine juice. Then they began tying notes to specially trained squirrels to communicate with each other about crimes...and yoga class schedules, but Winter was petrified of squirrels and would run in the opposite direction when she would hear the chirping of an approaching messenger squirrel. So, the team was now trying the gentle scent of a nag champa candle to communicate with each other.
Winter arrived at the Super Secret Yoga Crime Fighting Team clubhouse first, anxiously checking the room for loose squirrels, followed by Lidia. Dharma the Robot arrived a short time later, by air of course. Gabe, the team's technician, had been tinkering with Dharma and had recently added retractable propellers to Dharma the Robot's arsenal of chanting, meditation, healing...and fire prevention powers.
But where was Cassandra, the team wondered? Lidia activated Dharma the Robot's GPS radar/sonar system and after a few blips and bloops, located Cassandra. The radar showed that Cassandra was mere blocks away, at the Berkley Thai Tai Chi Centre and Bubble Tea Bar. The team, along with Dharma the Robot, was alarmed, sure that Cassandra was being held at the Thai Tai Chi Centre and Bubble Tea Bar against her will. (The Super Secret Yoga Crime Fighting Team had various run-ins with the Thai Tai Chi practicioners, and almost came to, well, intense non-reaction over arguments concerning the proper way to meditate (the yoga practicioners were partial to listening to a singing bowl, while the Thai Tai Chi "gang" preferred staring at a candle). There was bad blood between the two groups. Plus, it was well-known in the Yoga Crime Fighting Community that Cassandra hated...or rather did not actively pursue, with any judgment, the drinking of bubble tea.) The team began to assemble a search and rescue party. But first, they needed to meditate.... To Be Continued.
