A/N: Sorry this took so long. Between work and other things that have been going on, I just haven't been able to write. I hope you enjoy it. :)
Chapter 13
"Now that we're all here, please begin Kala," Sahara smirked at her brother who was still playing the part of needing his wheelchair. After all, he was still waiting to tell the Kingdom the good news. That and Tyler had blabbed about what he'd run in on.
"We discovered something while combing through the paperwork at Dyeoung's home," the puma explained as he pulled out his laptop and put images on the screen.
"Does that say what I think that says?" Tyler asked.
"That says he purchased five fifty-five gallon drums two days before his untimely demise," Sahara shook her head.
"Yes it does. Do you want to know where we found those drums?" Kala wondered.
"I bet you didn't," Leo spoke up.
"We have a winner," Kala's sarcastic tone wasn't lost on anyone but the Queen let it slide. The team investigating this entire mess had been short on sleep and leads.
"Are you saying that there could be five fifty-five gallon drums of this disease floating around somewhere?" Tyler wanted to know.
"Well I thought about that but liquid toxin doesn't do you much good does it?" Kala pointed out.
"You think he's figured out a way to turn it into a gas?" Sahara could not believe what she was hearing.
"Oh I'm betting on it. One well timed release could infect hundreds and they wouldn't even know it," the puma said.
"But how did he overcome the short communicable window?" Tyler asked.
"I have no idea but that might not matter if he has five releases infecting thousands of people at one shot," Kala told them.
"It will be too late and everyone will be infected," Leo said.
"Or at least all those who matter. The remainder of the population can be turned into slaves or executed," the puma made the remark and everyone in the room gave him a look as he pulled out a map of the planet that he'd brought with him.
"Here I have selected the five locations in which he could do the most damage," he paused as he laid the map flat and put out paperweights to keep the corners from rolling back up.
"Cat's Lair, ThunderCat University, New Thundera General, New Thundera University, and ThunderGuard Headquarters, would be the smartest places to attack. Take out the leadership, take out the students, take out the sick and the weak, and take out the soldiers," he continued.
"Great Jaga," Sahara shook her head.
"What way do you think he'll try to do it? I mean none of those places are easy to access from the outside unless you have ID and a legitimate reason for being there," Leo pointed out.
"The most inconspicuous way to infiltrate a building with high security is to play the part that no one will notice. He'll come in claiming to be refilling the Thundrillium or he'll come in claiming to clean the air system. One simple way to infect everyone is to have the gas filter through the air system," Kala explained.
"No one will think twice that he's been there and probably not even pay attention to him," Tyler said.
"Exactly. The best course of action is to beef up security at all these locations and give those checking IDs a better idea of who they are looking for," the puma told them.
"But we don't even know who we are looking for do we?" Sahara asked.
"Well that does present a large problem," Kala admitted.
