Finished my math homework! *bowing to the applause*. I'm going to jump right into the story, hold on tight and here we go!

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S DEAD!" Shouted Agent Sullivan, her voice pitched in anger. "THIS RUINS EVERYTHING! WE WERE SO CLOSE!"

"I know—"

"YOU KNOW! EXPLAIN YOURSELF!"

The blonde doctor wrung his hands nervously, his eyes turned to the floor.

"We were questioning it, and it looks like water slipped in the lungs and its body was too weak to bring it back out…"

Agent Sullivan fell heavily back into her chair, pulling her hair back with a sigh.

"Ok. No one must know. It's still alive for all we know. We continue with the plan. Understood?"

"Yes, Of Course."

"Then get out of my sight."

The lady's sharp eyes watched the doctor as he left the room. She put her head in her hands, breathing deeply. Now what?

Cameron knocked on the door. Skylar looked up, her hands busy with metal objects he couldn't describe.

"Hey…" He stopped before continuing, looking down at his feet.

"What is it Cam?" She asked, putting the objects down and crossing her arms.

"You're new to this group, and I am…sort of…so I wanted to ask. I mean you've dealt with the people who try to get alphas into Binghamton." He ran his hand through his hair. "I don't know. But I don't think some kid or a few couple of alphas can bust Gary out of there."

"So what you're saying is to ask Red Flag for help?"

Cameron shuddered at the blunt way she said it. Ever since Skylar had arrived she had done nothing but work. The rest of the team was still moving in slow motion, as though still trying to understand the events of the last couple of days. Especially Rachel. She was frozen in time, always in Gary's office as though blaming herself for his disappearance. But the new girl—Hazel—ever since she had come it was if Rachel had new life in her.

The team trained Hazel constantly, but it was difficult. They had yet to find a place where she could show them her strength. But for now she was resting, recuperating, and enjoying the sun again. In fact even now she, Rachel and Nina were out shopping. Bill and Doctor Rosen were gone to search for more alphas in numerous sanitariums but so far had come empty handed. Which was why now was the perfect time to ask Skylar a question none of the other alphas would even consider.

"So? What do you think?"

Skylar sat down and looked at her work. She was working on a device that could recognize alphas in a mile's distance. While it wasn't like Bob, it would have to do for now.

"I don't know Cam..."

"Come on Skylar! Don't kid around with me, just tell me straight up."

Skylar looked up, her brown eyes sad. "I've been asking myself the same thing. If we walk in now, we'll be massacred. I mean, the kid hardly knows how to use her own powers, Rachel couldn't use hers to hurt anyone and Dr. Rosen…well we know we can't bring Dr. Rosen in. We don't even have Gary to guide us through that hell hole. "

Cameron sat down next to her. "Dr. Rosen will never agree to working with the people who tried having him killed."

"We could always have Nina push him?"

The lean alpha turned to the woman to his left, searching her face for signs of sarcasm. Finding none he burst out laughing.

"That's not the way we do things around here."

"Well what can I say, you guys are too nice." Skylar stood up, stretching her long legs. "So? Are you going to tell them we plan to employ the aid of Red Flag or shall I?"
