After two hours of driving, they stopped to change in a Wal-Mart bathroom. Jake changes into a pair of blue jeans, a concert tee, sneakers, and his leather jacket. He noticed that Dia changed in jean capris, a blue short-sleeved polo, black sneakers, and braided her long hair in a long braid going down her back. Jazz was wearing overall shorts over a green v-neck shirt, and worn green chucks. His sister already changed so she waited for them in the car. When they were all in the car again, they ate some of the food in the cooler and headed off to Phoenix, Arizona. Nine hours later they arrived in Phoenix. When they found Kayla's house, it was 6 o'clock in the afternoon. They parked the car in a parking lot of a store near the house.

"Okay, quick two out o the four of is going o talk to her?" Dia asked and then continued, " I think that I should go, so which one of the three of you want to come?"

"Why can't we all go?" asked Candy.

"Because we might scare her if we come I a pack of four." replied Jazz.

"I'll go with you." Jake offered.

"Okay, let's go. Jazz if anyone comes that is not us, drive away. Oh, and what do you have on Kayla?" asked Dia.

"Not much. Her dad went missing two years ago and she now lives with her stepmother. Her stepmother remarried and Kayla lives with them and her stepfather's son. She was on her school's volleyball, softball, and basketball teams. She has no criminal record and her medical records say she is very healthy. She doesn't have a MySpace or a Facebook. She has never had a late library book. Wow, hat impressive. Oh, and her real mom died in a car crash when she was 7-years-old. She is 17 now and a junior in high school. That's all I have." Jazz said. She had been working on her laptop all the way here trying to find all the information she could on Kayla.

"Thanks. Let's go, Jake," with that Nadia got outbid the car and walked towards Kayla's house. Her heart was thumping rapidly. She was nervous just like when she first met the Roberts siblings, Jake and Candy. Nadia rang the doorbell twice and waited. She looked at Jake and he looked nervous. Dia was about to ring the doorbell again when a girl answered. She was about five feet and eight inches. She had a toned slender runners body. She had strait, blond hair up in a ponytail. She had cautious, stormy grey eyes.

"Hello. We're looking for Kayla Clarkson." Nadia said.

"Oh, hi. That's me." the girl replied.

"We need to talk to you about your father." Nadia jumped in. Kayla's face became serious and she frowned.

"What do you know about my father?" Kayla asked emotionlessly. You could tell that she didn't like talking about him.

"Um, we know where he is." Jake awkwardly said. Kayla looked at Jake. Anger flashed in her eyes.

"Oh, you do. Do you? Then you also know that he is dead. The police said so. And if this is your idea of a joke them you are sick," she said angrily. She slammed the door on them. But Jake caught the door opened at the last second.

"We're not joking." said Nadia plainly. Kayla looked at them in disbelief, then said,

"Who are you?"

"I'm Nadia Eclipse." replied Nadia.

"And I'm Jacob Roberts. But call me Jake and we are telling you he truth, honest." said Jake. Kayla frowned in a pensive way.

"Okay. Come in before my stepmom gets here. I'm not saying I believe you, but I'll give you a chance to explain." Kayla finally said. She led them to the attic. It was very clean and room like attic. "This is my room. My stepmom never comes here." Kayla said.

"Um, I really don't know how to explain everything to you. Okay, when your dad went missing two years ago, he really got captured by a secret group called The Anti-Mutant Unit or TAMU for short." Jake began when Kayla interrupted.

She asked, "Why would anyone want to kidnap my dad?"

"Because he had a special ability. You also have a special ability." Jake said carefully. Kayla's face went blank and she said,

"I don't know what you are talking about, but I think you better leave now."

"I think you do know what we are talking about, Kayla. I think you already know you are different, but you are scared to trust us. We also have special abilities, too." Nadia said.

Kayla looked shocked, then she said,

"So my dad is okay?"

"Yes, but he is in a jail where people like us can't escape," said Jake calmly.

Kayla's eyes filled with tears. She quickly wiped them away. "So, why are you here?" she asked in a choked voice.

"To help you. The people that captured your father are coming to capture you. So you have to come with us to escape. But you have to hurry they will be here soon." Jake answered.

"Okay. Wait, how do I know you aren't the people that captured my dad?" Kayla asked suspiciously.

"Because we also have powers and because my dad was captured too." Nadia said matter-of-factly.

"What can you do?" asked Kayla. "I mean show me so you can prove that you have abilities." "Fine. Watch." Nadia said. She closes her eyes and concentrated. From head to toes
she quickly became invisible. She opened her eyes again and moves next to the desk in the attic-room. She concentrated and became visible again. Kayla's grey eyes were wide with surprise. "My turn." Jake said excitedly. Jake's forehead creased in concentration and slowly a diamond hanging from a golden chain came floating to his open hand. He is getting good at that quickly, thought Nadia. She noticed Kayla biting her lip. It looked like she was debating something. Finally Kayla said,

"I believe you. When do we have to leave?"

"We have to leave as soon as possible, so we can have a good head start." replied Nadia.

"Okay, if I am going to leave today, I've got to leave before my stepmom, stepdad, and...Ben comes home. They won't let me go. For different reasons each."

"Okay, pack clothes and anything you want to take. I'll go get the car. Jake you stay here." Nadia said and walks out the door.
