Chapter 1

Maxie and his wife arrived back at their base with the baby, and once at their base Courtney picked up Mandy's carrier and carried it inside.

Maxie turned to the grunts and Admins and said, "Okay, you're to unload the van and take all of Mandy's stuff to the room next to me and my wife's room."

"Yes, sir!"  Everyone replied.

Now all the grunts and Admins began unloading the truck, and carried all the stuff into the room Maxie had mentioned.  Some of the grunts carried Mandy's cradle into the room, and some Admins brought her blankets a few minutes later, and they set them in the cradle.  Ten minutes passed before all of Mandy's stuff had been unloaded and carried into the room.  Then some of the Admins went to get Maxie.  They found him in his office with his wife and the baby.  Mandy was still sleeping when the Admins entered. 

Maxie looked up from where he was watching the baby and asked, "Is everything set?"

"Yes, sir.  Her stuff's been carried in and set up."  The Admins replied.

"Good, then we should get Mandy back into her cradle so that she can sleep more comfortably."  Maxie said.

Maxie waved his hand to dismiss the Admins, and they left. 

Now Maxie looked at his wife and said, "Come wife, let's get Mandy, or our new 'daughter' to bed."

Courtney nodded and picked up the carrier again, and they carried Mandy to her room.  Once in her room, Courtney took Mandy out of the carrier, and Maxie picked up the blankets, then Courtney laid Mandy into the cradle.  Maxie handed the blankets to his wife and she covered Mandy with them to help keep her warm.

Maxie looked at the baby as she slept and said, "It's hard to imagine that this child will have incredible psychic powers when she gets older, and that will help our cause.  When the time comes, I'll pull her into Team Magma and use her powers against Team Aqua.  They won't know what hit them if I use her as a spy because the psychics in their group can't detect other psychics, so she'll be safe."

Maxie turned to leave, but before Courtney left she set up the baby monitor so that she'd know if Mandy woke up and started crying.  Now Courtney left the room too, taking the device that would allow her to hear Mandy with her.  Mandy, not knowing that she had been kidnapped continued to sleep in peace.
