Sorry for not updating for a while. Things have been hectic. Anyway on with the show.

Chapter 4

About 15 minutes later after the gang was taken to the detention level two grunts walk into the motor pool carrying a bunch of tools and computers. One grunt said "we'd better hurry with this, Pete and the Doc want the bus repaired and the knock out gas tanks refilled for another run." The other grunt said "Yeh, Yeh, did you see the game last night? Cherry Grove got their asses kicked again." "Yeh, I know don't those electra whatever ever quit?" The grunt stopped saying "Something smells like it died--it seems to be coming from the bus." The second grunt walked up to the bus and opened up the cargo hatch. A boy and a girl in bathing suits and a really trashed Mewoth came tumbling out, almost passed out from heat. One grunt said "What the freakening hell" Another grunt said "They chose the wrong time to hitch a ride that's for sure. I wonder if they are still alive?" The grunt picked a pipe off the ground and poked each of them. Jesse and James quickly darted up and ironically while getting up they accidentally head bunted the grunts and both grunts dropped to the floor.

James wondered out loud "We didn't bake to death? Wait a second, where the hell are we?" Mewoth said "Looks like a secret military base. Like area 51 or something. Jesse thought that as long as they were there they better blend in. They took off the two grunts jump suits and put them on and stuffed the two men into The buses trunk which they had previously occupied. About 5 minutes they were deep inside the base and hopelessly lost. Jesse said, "unisex uniforms, these guys have no fashion sense what so ever." James said, "shouldn't we be focusing on finding where we are and what happened to the twerps? We have a yellow rat to steal."

Suddenly they turned a corner to find one of the base personnel. Judging by the darker uniform, he was probably of a higher rank. It was also quite apparent he was drunk. They could smell him from down the corridor. Jesse whispered to Mewoth "get on all fours, as far as anyone here knows you are a normal non-talking Mewoth." Mewoth said "Gotch ya" and dropped to all fours before the guy could notice. The guy walked up and said "I haven't seen you around before let me guess, transfer." James and Jesse quickly nodded their heads. The drunken officer said "Names Kennedy, please to meet you, I don't know why the Doc keeps requesting more personnel, the paranoid lunatic. Security is already so tight that a if a fly burps he knows about it." James said the guy "Uh, o.k. By the way we weren't exactly told before we came where we were to be stationed. What exactly is this place?" Kennedy laughed and almost fell over. He took a swig from his flask and said, "Man does HQ tell people anything anymore?" This is the team tech burning sands B.O.W. laboratory." Jesse exclaimed "Team Tech What?" Kennedy said, "B.O.W. laboratory, HQ wants Doctor Bailey who's in charge here to create some sort of bio-engineered soldier, mostly to take out those idiots of Rocket, Aqua and Magma. We just snagged a bus full of kids. Wonder what the Doc gonna splice them with first? He took the girl up there. Knowing his demented sense of humor its probably going to be something he saw in one of those sick shows he watches on his DVD."

Kennedy glanced at Jesse and James and noticed that they were white as sheets. Mewoth looked like he was about to pass out. Kennedy stated "What's with you two?" James blubbered "Nothing, nothing at all." Before anyone else could react something started beeping. Kennedy took at communicator out of his pocket and said, "Hold on a sec--Yeh, what do you want? What do you mean you want a break from guarding the prisoners. All you have to do is sit there and if they act up use the taser. All right I'll send someone to relieve you." He turned off the communicator and muttered "Lazy SOB. Hey would you two make yourselves useful and go relieve Fred?" Both Jesse and James nodded a nervous Yes. "O.K. you probably don't have clearance, here borrow my key card" said Kennedy. With a toss Jesse grabbed the card almost dropping it. Kennedy said "it's a high level card, can get you into anything as long as its level 6 access and lower. Only the Doc has full access. The elevator is down the hall. Once you get in swipe the key card before pushing the level, otherwise the floor will drop and you don't want to know where you will end up." "Thanks" shouted Jesse and James as they started towards the elevator. Kennedy thought to himself, where do we recruit these whacko? The way that girl wears her hair is disturbing, and that Mewoth is creepy looking. I better get a drink.

In the elevator, Jesse was saying "Card reader, card reader--Ah here we go just like the old ATM." She swiped the card and a female computer voice said "Access Approved, Select Floor." Mewoth blurted out "Ooooo classy." James said "I've been thinking--if they are experimenting on the twerps, don't you think we should try to get them out of here?" Jesse replied "Are you kidding? I saw we grab the yellow rat and scram before they figure out were not suppose to be here." Mewoth agreed with James. "As much as I hate the twerps, they don't deserve the Island of Dr. Monroe treatment." "Fine" Jesse sighed. "But you two owe me now." She pressed the button and the lift began to descend.
