"Do we tell her?" Billy leaned over to Zoe from his computer.
"Of course not!" She whispered back as she leaned back to her monitor, "if we tell her, who is going to refill our coffee without us having to get it ourselves?"
"This is true." Billy nodded as he looked over to where Lisa had paused in her sweeping. "Are you supposed to be standing by that door?" Billy called out to her, "I don't see your name on that door or doors you can go through!"
Lisa groaned and resumed her sweeping, she hadn't meant to be near that door but she had been asked to sweep the entire cave and she was getting tired of the menial labor; it had been almost three weeks of this day after day after day.
"Lisa, we need more coffee over here!" Zoe called out to Lisa almost immediately after she had gotten back to work.
Sarah watched from her office window and sighed. She remote logged into Billy's system from her computer and reviewed his work. Shaking her head she logged out before her hack could be noticed by the two goofing off techs.
"Billy, Zoe, what do you have for me this morning?" Sarah asked as she went to their station.
"What tells you that we have anything?" Zoe asked coyly.
"I am not that dumb am I?" Sarah shook her head, "I do hold the master pass code here!"
"Darn she is good." Billy shrugged before looking at his system, "You hacked my system? Why mine? It is always my system, is it some sort of girl truce or something?"
"No, Zoe just hits harder." Sarah shrugged, "So what did you find?"
"Nothing at all, the entire file is clean and it is authentic the only information other than a video file that is indeed dated in similar time prints to the vid files we received on and around that day. There are two files and the second one coincides with a few seconds before the crash, he probably crashed right after logging out of that message. There are files in KnIFE that match those of the files we have found and added to KI3T since FBI removed themselves from our lives. All date and time stamps are correct and there is no sign of any of the FBI trap doors that we had to remove from KI3T." Zoe reported unwillingly but in-depth to Sarah.
"Alright, so we have no need to leave her on probation then, do we?" Sarah asked the two of them while giving them the eyebrow.
"Your right, we were just going to tell her as soon as we had a chance to fill you in." Billy choked on his words as Zoe stared at him.
Lisa walked back into the room, "you were going to tell who what?" she asked curiously.
Sarah crossed her arms and discretely nudged Zoe but Zoe refused to talk. Sarah shook her head, "You don't need to listen to Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb any more. I have seen sufficient proof to know that you can be trusted. That means you can leave their coffee's right there where you are, they have legs, they can get it themselves if they really want them."
Lisa being a smart aleck placed the two coffee's above her head on a ledge and stepped away from them.
Sarah shook her head but grinned, "Why don't you take today and relax. Tomorrow morning I can meet with you and we can discuss your options from here on out. I still don't want you leaving the base just yet, I need to reinforce your identity and I want you to shadow Mike on a few missions just so I can be sure you have what it takes to survive out there, the people we deal with are the most bad of the bad."
Lisa grinned, "I think I can agree to that. When does Mike return?"
"Later this week and then he will have a few days to hopefully lay low but after that we will discuss your shadowing."
Lisa skipped out of the room and Sarah shook her head before she went into the secret room and addressed the two youths who were working, "So you two are aware Lisa is still on base restriction but she is off of Probation. I will be removing the locks as soon as I get back to my office."
"Make it clear to her that she still shouldn't be in here." Jeremy said looking up from where he lay after crawling out from under the project.
"I will make sure, how is it coming?"
"Jeremy is just finishing the last connection on the core. We will then charge the battery and see what we get from there." Aelita reported as she removed a tool from the tool box.
"You know if you need any help Billy is at his desk right outside." Sarah said as she did almost every day that she checked in on the project.
Jeremy looked up at his sister, "Sarah, Aelita and I saved the world and we disassembled a super computer on our own to get the core out. I think the two smartest students from Kadic can figure out how to put a car back together again. Besides Billy has helped us already with other things, this is minor stuff that we are doing right now."
"If you really trust us, Sarah you would know that we know when something in this project is too much for us to handle on our own." Aelita rolled her eyes.
"Alright I get the picture and I will let you be for now." Sarah held up her hands and backed out of the room.
