Season Three Premiere!

Episode Fifty-Three

"Q & A"

Ziv stared at the chocolate milk in front of him and the plate of cookies in the center of the table. Across from the young boy sat smiling at him quite kindly. Ziv couldn't really place it, but for some reason the boy seemed familiar.

"So where should we start?" the boy asked, taking a sip from his own glass.

Ziv bit is lip. "Um, who are you?"

"Ah," The boy said, putting down his glass. "My name is Journey." Ziv shifted a bit as Journey looked at him. "If you are wondering why I look familiar, I was at HQ earlier while you were there."

Ziv nodded for a moment, then thought of another question. "HQ of what?"

"HUSH," Journey replied with a smile. "Hurston Union of Spies and Hitmen." Ziv stared in shock as the boy paused in thought. "The name isn't entirely accurate but we are pretty much a cross between and International Spy Organization and Organized Crime. We're just better at both."

Ziv took a quick drink. "Ok," He gulped. "What do you want with me?"

"To protect you," Journey responded, like it should have been obvious by now.

Ziv nodded. He did sorta realize that. "Why?"

"Because you're the Good Twin." Journey said somewhat emphatically.

"What does that mean?" Ziv sighed in frustration.

Journey frowned a bit and considered his words. "It means that you and your brother are the Gemini and the Others want you dead."

Meanwhile, on the roof

Osama glanced around at the inside of the Ao again. It seemed less nerve wrecking this time, now that he knew what she was. But not by much.

"Ok, so now what?" he asked, turning to look at Pendleton and the holographic Avatar.

"We return to the ruins of Area 51," Pendleton said, walking over to the captain's chair again.

"Can we be under stealth mode the whole time this time?" Osama asked, glancing over at Ao. "I don't think I want to have to deal with the Air Force again."

"You're no fun," Ao said in a fake whine.

Pendleton rolled his eyes. "I think that would be reasonable."

"Spoil sport." Ao said. Her engines began to warm up.

Meanwhile, in Sydney...

"That's right, run!" Pai the Kiwi shrieked out as the Poachers jumped over the back edge of the small boat. "Flee for your lives!"

"Like it's safer in the water," Mary the Koala mused as she crawled up to peak after the fleeing humans.

Brittany the Kangaroo wrinkled her nose and cringed at the horrific sounds emanating from the water behind them. "It really, really isn't."

Mary shuddered. "That's just too gross," she said and turned away from the red water.

Pai sighed, then ruffled. "Where's Tenody?"

The door into the cabin behind them creaked. The animals all turned to see Tenody the Penguin standing in the door, looking grave. "I found her."
