Chapter 4: Gone
She woke up 7 hours later in a small circular pod. She looked out of the two windows to her left and right, realizing she was underwater. She knocked on the hatch above her, alerting the Ekats that she was awake.
Nina Shaydin came to talk. A tiny girl straight out of college, she had been immediately accepted into the Ekat leadership. But she wasn't so crazy about the clues that she couldn't pay attention to life.
She spoke carefully. "We don't know anything about you. Not your branch…we don't even know your name! What we do know is that you are a suspected Madrigal, you have been tracking all Cahills, you were closely involved with Grace Cahill and the hunt for the 39 clues, and all branches have tried to monitor you, none succeeding except us. We have even gone so far as to catch you."
She realized where she was. How could she have been so naïve? "So, in other words, I have been knocked out, kidnapped, and taken to the Bermuda Triangle, where I currently am underwater in a mini-submarine?"
Nina looked sheepishly at her. "That about covers it. We just need to know who you are and some other stuff. I'm really sorry, though."
She smiled. "Well, I'm not really up for breaking out of here right now, so I'll give you some answers. It's not important who I am, I don't give out my branch, though I am not a Madrigal. I am curious about the clue hunt, but I prefer to find out news first hand. I track people if they pose a threat to me and my identity. I don't want to hurt you, so would you mind getting away from the pod? You have thirty seconds."
Nina looked alarmed, but obeyed. When Nina was safely out, she set the bomb in the middle, then quickly put on the scuba gear that she knew would be under the seats. She then molded herself to the wall and raced herself for the explosion. When it blew up, she glided effortlessly away. When she had put a good distance between her and Bae, she spoke in a loud, clear voice to the sound activated phone in it: Alistair Oh.
"Alistair? Yes, I escaped. I'm guessing you are not very happy with your uncle right now. Yes. Uh-huh. Ok. I was wondering if you could be so kind as to do me a little favor…"
Ok, screw what I said last time about the reviews. How about 8 per chapter?
About the main character- No she is not Irina, and not me either. But you guys are getting closer…
Keep reviewing! I need to hear how I'm doing!! Thanks!!!!!
