A now 10yr old Maggie, bent over and picked up a crunched up piece of paper. She waved it a little to show her friend, Stephanie, who was two rows over, that she got it. She unraveled note and read it, 'Brice like you!hehe' Maggie covered her mouth and coughed to cover up her laughter. 20 minutes later recess started and the two friends walked out of the class, cracking up with laughter. "Oh my gosh, he was like writing your name over and over!"

"Gross!" Maggie moaned. "He's like totally nerdy, and he wipes his nose on his sleeve!"

Both girls shuttered at the thought. "EEEeewwwww!" Then they laughed.

"Come on," Stephanie said leading the way to the big slide. "So how long has your dad been gone?!" She asked excitedly, she loved hearing about the adventurous stories just as much as Maggie does.

"3 days now, he called last night!" Rusty started calling couple days after each adventure started to let them know of any bad guys and what clues he found because about a year ago they abducted one of his college school mates, for whatever reason. "Dad says some Muslims are after the Age of Scorpio Shield too. He'll definitely have a good story to tell this time!"

"That's so cool, where's it suppose to be?"

"Don't know... Dad told me the story a couple of years ago... It's like you go through another dimension, a new world... I mean the Age of Scorpio ended over 15,000 yrs ago... The native are nuts, I remember that 'cause it gave me nightmares... At the time..."

"Hey Jones!" A voice said, from far away...

"Cccrrrrraaappp... It's Sam... Lets go!" Maggie said walking away, avoiding the big talk, no fight baby sister. Samantha had become the big mouth of her sister operation, and Lindsey was the big fist(and in the last year it had grown twice the size).

"Jones! My sister is gonna kick your a--" She was cut off by the bell signalling recess was done. With a huff, she went to her own class. I'll just tell her later, Samantha thought.

As Maggie and Steph headed out to the buses, in front of the school, something caught Maggie's eye. No matter how big or small your school is you know something is up when you see 4 cars, well 6 if you count the 2 parked on main street, that looked exactly alike: large, black sedans and out of the 2 closest cars you can see 4 or more people of Muslim decent looking around. Maggie slowed to a stop, staring at one of the cars, "Steph, when was the last time you saw a Muslim dude in town?"

"Never, why?"

"Get on the bus, go home... I'm... I'll see ya later." Maggie turned heel and ran back inside the school. Once inside she looked out the window and noticed the cars starting to move, SSSsssooooo not cool!!She ran to her locker and shoved her backpack and skateboard in. Then she took out the swiss army knife her dad normally kept in the camping gear(she stole it from there a little less then a year ago after she'd seen her dad's college mate in the hospital), and cut a small hole in her jacket pocket, closed the gadget, and pushed it into the lining of her coat. Then she took her jacket off and turned it inside out, thank you gramps for the reverisible coat! And put the hood up and grabbed her cell phone. Once finished she head out the back door of the school and went through the fence of the playground. Several student were still around and the buses hadn't left yet, but she spotted the sedans on the side streets of the school. Thankfully they didn't advance when she came out. "Jones!"shhiitt! that dumb -ss is gonna get me found out yelling like that... piss! the Muslims are looking this way... walk away...Maggie started to speed walk away from Samantha, but she followed all the faster. "Hey Jones! I'm talking to you!" Maggie continued to walk to avoid more attraction, but Samantha ran to catch up. "Hey!--"

"Leave me alone!" Maggie growled when the girl grabbed her arm. Maggie glanced back and noticed a couple of men getting out of the cars and 3 cars blocking all the main roads, turning she moved towards the woods on her right.

"Hey! HEEEEY! I'm not done with you! My sister is--"

"I can't do this right now! Just MOVE!" Maggie tried to run, but Samantha kept pulling her back.

"My sister is gonna beat your ass!" She finished the threat loudly.

"Great! Hopefully I'll live that long to see it... NOW MOVE BEOTCH!!" And Maggie shoved her as hard as she could to get rid of the annoying loud mouth and sprinted into the woods. A few moment later running she fumbled in her pocket and grabbed her cell. Automatically she press her home number and panted into the phone, "Grandpa!"

"Mags?" He whispered. "Where are you? Are you ok?"

"Nah... run... ing... bad guys... at school..."

"They're here too, don't come home... Maggie... They killed Pan..." He knew it would hurt her but from past experiences he knew she had to know.

"What..." She asked tearfully and her speed slowed a bit, then sped up when she heard branches breaking behind her. thank god she had to run a mile for karate! "Grand... pa..."

"Maggie... Shit! Call your fath--"

"Grandpa... grandpa!" He was cut off, She took the phone away from her ear and looked down at it. She gripped it tighter then every and push herself faster. Something shot past her left ear and hit a tree knocking the bark off a bit. "Woh!" She said. Thankfully she caught sight of the abandon restaurant 'Double Diamond Diner' and hid behind it while calling her dad's cell. She scooted around the building as the Muslims caught up and searched around as well. "Dad," She whispered.

"Maggie? Why're you callin--" He tried to ask, but was cut off when his daughter said:

"The baddies are here! They got gramps and they shot Pan..." She told him quietly. She heard him mumble, 'no no no no'. "Dad they're chasing me, I think I'll be seeing you soon." Two shot flew near her, "Shit!" she said. One of the shots were stuck in the wall and she turned a corner to escape view, they were shooting tranqualizers. "Dad... OW!!" They got her and she fell to the ground, that smarts my butt a lot... Moments later she passed out. 4 Muslims walked up and stood over her ominously.

"Maggie! Magg--" One of the men crush the phone with his foot and it went dead.
