Lilly's spy phone rang in her pocket. It was G. Lilly sighed as she reached to get the phone. Ever since the Blackout ended, she had been depressed. She never got to see Rookie, Dot, G or Jet Pack Guy as much as she used to and was down from the lack of action or missions. To her it seemed as if the blackout was still hovering over her.
"Hey G." Said Lilly.
"Lilly, we have received some unusual action from Herbert. I need you to report to HQ immediately."
"But, G. The EPF is in ruins, none of the machines are working."
"We still have our spy phones. I gotta go, Jet Pack just got here." Said G as he hung up the phone. Lilly sparked at the mention of Jet Pack Guy.
She didn't know what it was but Guy got Lilly more enthusiastic about going on missions.
"Ahh Lilly. Your here!" said G as Lilly entered the Command room. Crates were scattered on the floor and there was a hole in the roof. A cool breeze came through and made Rookie shiver.
"What news do you have about Herbert?"
"Dot saw him down at the Docks carrying some documents." explained G
" I wonder what they were for." said Lilly
" Maybe they're recipes for cookies!" exclaimed Rookie. Everyone glared at him. "What? I like cookies." he said.
G explained that he had some information on the documents and they're for a person. "Perhaps they are about where one of us was born or something. Or where we are from."
Rookie nervously said "T-that's kinda creepy. They know everything about us"
"Don't worry Rookie. He can't get too much information about us without our permission." Jet Pack tried to comfort him. "What are we gonna do G?"
"Lets get some scouts out there. Dot and I will stay here and gather information from you guys. Rookie you go to the Docks where we last saw Herbert. Lilly, we need you to go to the wilderness where Herbert's hideout is, but we can't sent you alone, it's too dangerous."
" I can go alone G. I've done it before. Remember?"
" If it was up to me I would send you alone Lilly, but its an agency rule. Jet Pack will go with you."
"Never mind." She said and whispered, "I love you."
"What?" Asked J.
"Nothing. I didn't say- Nothing!" She said nervously. (Nice save. *cough cough*)
"Hee hee hee. Lilly and J sittin' in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G" Mocked Rookie.
"Shut up Rookie!" Lilly interrupted. Guy smirked when Lilly seemed to be hiding her feelings.
"Let's move out agents." G chuckled
Lilly and Jet Pack were in the wilderness. They went to the stump where Herbert's hideout was.
"I think I still have the key from one of the previous missions."
"Lilly, what was that?" a strange noise came from behind them. Then they heard some clicking.
"It's Herbert! Run!" Guy ran to the bushes. He thought he heard Lilly's steps behind him but it was his own echoing around the woods.
"Jet Pack! I'm stuck." Lilly's pant leg had gotten stuck on a thorn bush. She tried to free herself but with every move she made the thorns found their was deeper into the fabric.
Jet Pack was about to help, but it was too late, Herbert had spotted her and approached the scene. He came behind Lilly, lifted his arm, and knocked her out.
Everything went blurry and she saw Herbert laughing over her and Jet Pack out of the corner of her eye mouthing an "I'm sorry" before blacking out.
Jet Pack Guy made sure the coast was clear and flew to HQ. While he was on his way to HQ his jet pack ran out of fuel. Luckily he landed on ski hill and it wasn't to far a fall. Penguins around him helped him up but he was yelling "I gotta go! I gotta go!" He ran down the ski hill. " G Gary!" He said out of breath.
"What is it?"
"Its Lilly. Herbert knocked her out and took her into his hideout."
"Dot! Copy this down."
" I'm on it G." Dot copied down everything else Guy explained and then picked up her spy phone. She tried to locate Lilly through the tracking device on the phones. It says she's in Herberts Hide-" Dot stopped talking.
"What's wrong Dot"
"I don't know G. I lost her signal."
This chapter is really short, but they'll get longer.
