Oh my- that would make much more sense . . .

Tam looked at her curiously.

Is she serious? She knows it's going to get rid of her tattoos, too- right?

-

Irie swore and immediately called Lise.

"Where are they?"

Yeah. he winced. We're fine now though, and nobody died, so I guess it's good.

Cricket sighed. He kind of liked her tattoos.

Irie swore and immediately called Lise.

"Where are they?"

"I don't care," she said when Bat told her. "Don't care." 

-

"They're a mile out, headed right this way. Scud, it's like they know right where we are!"

“Careful, you’re starting to sound like me” he chuckled out.

 Believe me if i didn’t have to I wouldn’t, i would rather do this and rest. But I’m indoors tonight so I’ll be more frequent than last night at least

She half-smiled and shrugged. "I was... too focused on other things. 

What kind of work do you do?

Yeah... I just pray that our luck holds.

She shrugged and turned back into her normal self, then motioned for Rose to follow her. She walked to Rose's room and gestured to the bed, then recreated the little machine she'd made a few days ago.

She's going to have to be asleep for this, unless she wants to be in a lot of pain, she told Bat.

-

Irie looked at Aden, eyes wide.

"Tracker?"

Just now, TwinStorm said:

Yeah... I just pray that our luck holds.

yep  

I think it will.

Cricket followed, standing there nervously.

It better. Or my Author will have hell to pay.

"Tracker?"

Rose eyed it nervously. 

"You won't let me die...?"

-

He dropped his head into his hands and swore. "Go find Ria (the head medic expert) and see if you can figure out how to remove them. We'll have to distract the forces and take them down the tunnels."

She shook her head.

'Course not.

She handed Rose a small, chalky-looking pill.

This'll keep you asleep.

-

"Got it. Could you get those two out of there?" She gestured to the monitor, then stood and shoved the notebook and pencil in her pocket, heading rapidly for the door.

He stood by the doorway, hands clasped, watching nervously. He remembered how he had felt when Rebus had taken the poison out of his veins, and winced.

She did not look trustful. With a deep breath, she popped it into her mouth, swallowed, and curled up on the bed. 

-

"Irie! Were you even listening?" He sighed.

“That’s understandable, I get that. Its why I’m not big on trust. Always thinking the worst of anything.” He told her

i work at a fun center, so go karts, ropes course, laser tag, and arcade arcade are all a big part, but the biggest is just working with kids

She was asleep within the minute.

Tam grabbed her arms and legs and laid her out flat on the bedding, then set the machine on her arm and turned it on.

She stepped back and watched for a moment.

Well, that was easy.

-

"Yeah, go find Ria. Why?"

She nodded. "That makes sense."

Bat watched nervously. 

-

"To examine Five and Starlight to see if she can get the trackers out. I've already sent to Lise about the people coming."

Nothing really seemed to be happening.

It's going to take a while, she informed them both.

-

". . . Yeah. I'm going to find her, but it'd be faster if they came along so we could get started immediately."

"I wish that it wasn't that way, but you can't do a lot about it" he said

it can be, but since we added the bar the parents get a bit annoying at times

"Okay." Bat sighed. "Maybe I could give her new tattoos after if she wants." 

-

"Go find her and brief her. I'll meet you with them in the first medical room, okay?"

She nodded. She'll probably want them back.

Then she turned and walked out of the room.

What do you want to do in the meantime?

-

She nodded.

"Maybe . . . don't tell them why you're taking them there. At least not yet."

Then she was gone, dashing through the hallways to find Doctor Ria.

Bat shrugged. "I could eat you and prove I'm scary." 

-

He nodded. 

Ria was sorting medical things in the very room Aden had told her to meet him in. She looked up. "Irie! Is something wrong? Are they okay?" 

[Existential]

"I'm sorry. I feel like I'm making you uncomfortable" he said apologetically

She laughed.

Bat, I think we already proved that you're not scary and not going to eat me.

-

"Trackers!" she said quickly.

"We need you to get rid of them- Aden's bringing them here. Get ready."

"No. You're not. I just---"

The door opened, flinging light across the floor. Five pressed herself to the wall, terrified, as the light turned on. 

"They're coming," Aden said, sounding panicked. "We think they're tracking you some how. Come on--- Ria can get them out for you--- come on, we need to get you out of here!" 

Five was frozen.

He turned red. "Am too," he muttered.

Ria blinked. "Gosh, okay. Uh... let me think."
