*Science halls*

The laughter bounced off the halls whenever the new trio laughed. The science teacher had almost lost a hand while feeding the Venus fly trap.

Every where they went there were whispers about them. The two heroes and a weird new girl. They stuck out like sore thumbs.

The rest of the school day went on as almost expected. Gym was Dodge ball, something Alice seem to have a talent for. The teacher divided the class and gave people points.

" ten for every regular person, 15 for the new girl, its usually twenty, but you so small."

There were giggles all around and Alice was so determined to show them wrong. A big guy had first thrown the ball at her and didn't expect her to catch and chunk it back. The whole class period was spent trying to hit her.

Lunch was so weird, the so called mystery meat practically wiggled in the plates across from her in Abbey and Ty's tray. Meat had always disgusted Alice, grossologist or not. "Are you not going to eat Alice?" asked Abbey.

" No, I'm a veggitarian." Alice promted. Abbey nodded in understanding.

"Honesty I don't blame you, I don't like it either."

Alice felt a vibration in her bag, someone was calling her on the grossologist pager." I'm going to have to be excused." Alice sat herself up from the table and rushed away.

She moved to the empty hallways and pulled out the saw Hermes in the book bag, he jumped onto her shoulders. Oddly, she saw the director's face on the screen. He hardly ever paid her any mind, except when he wanted her to do things like

lift heavy equipment.

" Alice you saw the news report, right." she nodded." well can you bring those kids near the lockers 243"

" will do sir" Alice agreed. People started to file into the halls as the bell rang. She saw Abby and Ty near the lockers and ran to them and opened her own. There were more chattering and pointing.

"Why is everybody looking at us?" asked Ty, he gasped and clutched his forehead." do I have another zit?!"

A carrot hair colored girl with glasses came up to Ty." Hi, I'm Naomi." He blushed and closed his locker." I know"

" Is it true you saved a whole bunch of people in that Bat cave?"

" Actually yes" he said more calmly.

"wow, was it scary?"

" Nah, it was pretty cool with all the cockroaches, centipedes, bat bones, and rats that ate everything..." Naomi looked very I'll and close to throwing up.

" that's great.. I got to...do stuff." she ran away and puked. Ty looked at Abby. " I think she likes me." Both girls rolled their eyes. Another girl, blonde hair purple cap, came to them.

"Hey your that girl who saved , you have to tell me about it, 12ish in the are definitely Paige posse material." She walked away, but screeched at Hermes on Alice's shoulder and taking off.

" something tells me that we are going to be the best of friends. What a cute critter Alice." she petted the rodent.

Alice was spaced looking at the locker opening and pulling the two inside. She followed suit, Hermes running into the dark.

" Ty and Abby Archer. I am the director of the bureau of grossology."

" And I am the only agent near a young age" said Alice. The director waved the attention back to him.

" After all that gross ness you encountered in that bat cave, I knew that you would be the perfect new recuits ."

" Oh it wasn't that gross, just a mound of bat poop covered with poop eating bugs and bug who ate those bugs and-" ty was cut off by the directors squishy nature coming out. And fainted.

"Uh can we think about it?" asked Abby.

* Page break *

They can into the lab with awed expressions. " Awesome"

" Welcome new recruits! To the gag lab." the director stood near Alice and Lab rat.

" I don't think I ever want to leave." said ty.

" I know the feeling " said lab rat, who was eating fries.

"Ty and Abby archer, meet lab rat, our chief gross analysist."

"nice to meet you."

" and say hello to our lead field Mr. Lance Boyle." the director said bored.

Mr. Boyle jumped down next to both of the new kids. Alice was very unsure of him, just because he facial hair. She was told that was part of her canine DNA. But still Abby and ty got along fine with him. " welcome to my valiant vessel"

" Yours, don't you mean mine"

"yes, you valiant vessel. We lucky few are the front line on all crimes that are repulsive and repellent"

" in other words if its gross we nab it." said lab rat.

"And we never let it go." said Mr Boyle grabbing and clutching a fry.

" Hey! I have a system!"

"Of course you do paul." said Mr Boyle." that's his real name. Paul Squirfenherder"

Him and Abby chuckled leaving lab rat to grumble.
