A/n you guys are going to have to wait a little longer for the next chapter. I have it all written out in my head so it will be out soon. (It is funny how when you reread your stories for the millionth time how one year of writer's block suddenly turns into a story) on ward the troops!!

Brad awoke to people talking out in the hall. He heard a voice that he didn't recognize and Lyle discussing him, Jarod, and Andy.
"They are stable now. That experimental drug almost killed them though. They wouldn't be able to go to work for at least another two days," The mysterious voice told Lyle.
"Well is there anyway to help them get better faster?" Asked Lyle completely irritated that he had to wait two days.
"Well I don't think that a shower would hurt them. None of them have showered in over two weeks. Plus it might help them with the horrible hangover they are going to have." Said the voice that now sounded like it belonged to a doctor.
"Fine then," said Lyle. Then Brad heard footsteps coming towards his room. The doctor came in and looked at the camera, which did not seem to be turned on.
"Good old Mike," the doctor said underneath his breath. The doctor then turned to Brad. "My name is Jason," He said. "I don't have much to time to talk. I am part of an FBI program to bring down The Center. I am working undercover with three other agents, Mike, a sweeper, Geno, a computer geek, and Nicky, a nurse. We need your corporation along with Jarod and Andy. Would you like to help?"
"Sure," said Brad. "How about you Jarod?" He turned to Jarod who looked for all the world like he was still out.
"Sounds good to me." He said. Jarod turned to Jason. "Hey Jason."
"Hey Jarod. How are your feeling?" Jason asked.
"Besides a major headache I'm fine," Said Jarod.
"Wait a minute." Said Brad genuinely confused, "Do you two know each other?"
"Brad, meet Jason, the guy that was helping me to bring down The Center," Said Jarod with a smile.
"Hey! Is everybody forgetting that I am still here?" Said Andy from the far side of the room. Just then two sweepers came in to get the pretenders to go take a shower. Another sweeper ran in. He was wearing a black Nike shirt and workout shorts.
"Sorry," He said to the other sweepers. "I was in the middle of my workout when I got called in. I didn't have time to change."
"Fine," Said Willie. "You take the girl. Mike you take Brad and I will take Jarod." The three pretenders stood up with much groaning, and the sweeper dragged them to the showers. Brad and Jarod went in one room and Andy went in another.
After Andy was done with her shower she asked for a towel. The sweeper held it just out of her reach, while he grinned like a little five-year-old.
"I said," Andy opened up the shower curtain and punched the guy in the face. "Give me a towel." Andy wrapped the towel around herself and looked at the Center issue cloths that apparently they wanted her to put on. Then she looked back at the sweeper sprawled on the ground unconscious in his workout shorts and black shirt and then she gave a little evil smile.
Brad and Jarod were already waiting outside when Andy came out wearing a black Nike shirt and black workout shorts. Brad and Jarod who were in Center issued cloths had to fight to keep from bursting out laughing.
"Where is Bob?" Asked Willie.
"He would not give me a towel so he is out cold on the floor in there." She said like as if it was completely normal for her to beat up a 300-pound guy. Willie rushed into the showers to check on Bob. Andy looked at Brad and Jarod and then she looked at Mike the remaining sweeper. She grabbed him in a headlock and whispered, "Play along". She acted like she punched him, and he acted like he was out cold.
"Now how about we go for a little walk guys?" Said Andy. The pretenders all got a chance to thoroughly explore the ship before the escape bell sounded. Then they all went back to sit by their cell door. Willie came running up it see all three pretenders leaning against the wall that led to their cell. Willie unlocked the door and two other sweepers threw them in.
Andy was thrilled to see Shade waiting for them in the cell. The dog was covered in long ugly welts and was very thin but he still looked like he was happy to see Andy. The huge dog took a running leap onto Andy's chest and started licking her all over the face. Andy responded by laughing and petting him.
