Chapter 12: Splitting up

Tak, Mimi, Cam, and Mali changed back into their human costumes and went up into their room. It had wooden floors, green and blue walls and one center bed. In one corner was a desk and in another corner was a changing stand and a table with a bowl and a pitcher full of water. They eyed the water and step back a few steps. The room over all was very 1930's. Suddenly there was a little beep that sounded a like a cell-phone call playing Irk's national anthem. Mali took out the blush container/transmitter and answered the call. It was Zim.

"The Tallest has put your stuff in a brown satchel on the bed where the humans put in your room. Do you have it?"

"No, but we see it." Mali said eyeing the brown bag.

"Good! The tallest each want you to have one of the communicators. There are also some other supplies they themselves have prepared. They want you to call me if you found out anything, anything at all, and I'll report it to them."

"We've found nothing at all except one of the major museums, this one in 'Edinburgh', have been robbed with no traces of the thieves and the owner of this manor has been kidnaped."

"How very funny. Considering all human robbers leave some sort of track. Although humans are incredibly dense.....they know a clue when they see one. It would take advance technology to be able to elude the earth authorities. Maybe our kind of technology. It probably is, sense now someone has stolen a human that this establishment belongs too.......and the crystals are hidden somewhere here. See if you can find out more about it. Invader Zim out."

And with that Zim logged out. Tak felt her heart beat for a second as she made her way toward the bed and opened the satchel. It was just as she hoped. The Tallest had put in two communicators. One for Cam and one for her since Mali already had one to begin with.

"We should split up. I'll go check the sitting room and upstairs. Cam you go check the kitchen and the Mr. McFarley's room. Tak you go and see the laundry room and Mrs. McFarley's room. Then we'll all meet at the attic entrance."
