Jamie sat quietly in the corner of the helicopter. She suddenly stood up and walked towards uncle.

"What is your name?" She asked almost demanded towards the old man.

He suddenly whacked her on the forehead with two fingers, (He's done this to Jackie many times!)

"Ow! What was that for?" she said rubbing her head.

"My name is Uncle!" He said dragging out the word uncle "One more thing ask questions politely! One more thing do you know how to use your powers? One more thing..."

Jade covers her ears and yells.

"No more things!" She yelled.

Uncle quickly hit her over the head with his two fingers.

Jamie walked back to her seat and sat down. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~*~*~* "This is section thirteen!" Announced Jade pointed towards a telephone booth.

"Isn't it a bit small?" asked Jamie.

"Wait until you see the inside!" Jade said enthusiastically.

"Ok?" Jamie replied as they walked towards the telephone booth.

"There's to many of us to go all at once," Captain black said pointing out the obvious "we'll have to go in two groups. Jamie, Jackie and Jade go first, we'll go second."

"All right," said Jackie walking into the phone booth.

Jamie and Jade walked inside and Jade carefully closed the door. Suddenly the phone booth shot backwards into the wall behind it. Jamie held on tightly trying not to be thrown against the side of the telephone booth. Suddenly the telephone booth stopped and they were thrown out. Jamie landed on her feet but Jade landed on top of her sending her to the floor. Jackie fell on his face then pulled himself back up.

"This is section thirteen!" Jade announced getting herself off of Jamie "follow me!"

Jamie followed behind Jade looking around at the enormous room they were in. There were numerous doors and many stairways. They neared a giant cell (cage).

"What is kept in here?" asked Jamie standing in the doorway.

"No clue," said Jade shrugging her shoulders "that wasn't here before."

Suddenly Jamie was pushed harshly into the cage and the door slammed behind her. She twisted around only to be staring at numerous S.W.A.T. agents pointing guns at her.

"What the hell?" Asked Jamie holding still.

"What are you doing?" Jade yelled grabbing for the keys to the cell.

"We have to lock her in there," said one of the agents in a strange accent.

"So you are evil!" She yelled pointing her finger at Jade "Garet would never lock me in a cage!"

"Honest I didn't know Jamie!" Jade said looking at the men angrily.

Jamie turned her back towards Jade. Jade sighed and turned towards Jackie.

"Why did they put her in a cage?" Asked Jade.

"Uh I don't know they just did that!" He answered.

"Well tell them to let her out!" She wined.

"Let her go!" Jackie said in a commanding voice.

"I'm afraid we can't do that," answered Captain Black "she must stay in the cage until we are sure of what her talisman power is."

"But we already know!" Jade said, "It's the snake talisman power! Duh!"

"I saw her willingly walk along with Garet!" Captain Black said, "She is obviously on the other side!"

"That is crazy!" Jackie said "she would have attacked us by now!"

"What if she was sent by Garet to become friends with you so that he could have someone on the inside bringing information back to him!" Captain Black answered.

"She is not in league with Garet," Uncle said dragging out the word Garet "or she would have had dark chi magic on her."

"What makes you so sure that she doesn't?" asked Captain Black.

"She would have reacted to the chi magic I put on her in the helicopter," he said simply.

"But what if she didn't need black chi magic?" asked Captain Black.

"Don't I get a say in this?" Asked Jamie.

"No!" responded Captain Black and Uncle.

The S.W.A.T. team began lazing around while Captain Black and Uncle were talking. One was leaning against a wall with his helmet down and was snoring.

"Dark chi magic is put on you when you are part of the other side!" Uncle yelled, "good chi magic would have made cuts on her forehead!"

"That does not prove anything!" Captain Black said arguing back "you know what? This conversation is over! I am in command of section thirteen and I will say the orders around here. She stays in there until we find out what power she has and until I trust her."

"Awe!" Jade wined folding her arms and looking cross "this isn't fair! Finally we get a girl on the team and she has to stay in a cage!"

"It is not a cage!" corrected Captain Black "It is a cell!"

"Humph!" Jade said pursing her lips.

"Well we have business to attend to," said Jackie yawning "and it is Jades bedtime."

"Awe can't I stay here?" asked Jade pleadingly "I could stay in the guest room! They still have the bed in there and I promise I won't get into any trouble!"

"Well I don't know," said Jackie considering.

"I will be out of your way!" She said putting on puppy eyes.

"I guess so but you had better behave yourself or there will be trouble," said Jackie waving his finger.

"Yes!" Jade yelled jumping up and punching the air.

"Now Jade if you need us call us on your cell phone," Jackie instructed.

"I know, I know!" Jade said rolling her eyes.

"Ok goodnight," he said and he walked with uncle towards the exit.

"Goodnight!" Jade called back.

The S.W.A.T. agents were placed around Jamie's cell strategically. They often stuck their guns at her and warned her.

"No funny stuff," One had said.

Jamie sat down and leaned against the wall. She put her knees to her chest and held them. Every time she moved the S.W.A.T. agents would suddenly turned around have their gun pointed straight at her. She closed her eyes trying to fall asleep and one of them called.

"What are you doing?" In a harsh tone then "open your eyes or I will shoot you!"

She tried desperately to keep her eyes open but she began having daydreams and often closed them only to be yelled at again. These guys were most likely not the bad guys but they should have trusted her. She began drifting off again and she felt a bullet skim her head. She suddenly stood up in fright and many guns were balanced level with her head.

"Hey that was a warning shot," said the one agent "if you so much as blink again you'll be out of luck kid."

"How am I supposed to sleep?" Asked Jamie wearily.

"You aren't," answered the agent.

"Why are you so suspicious of me?" she asked furrowing her eyebrows "can't I just sleep in a normal bed?"

"No," answered the agent closest to her "and we will find out where your loyalties lye soon enough."

Jamie sat back down and many of the officers flinched at her sudden movement then went back to their posts. Jamie felt weak from lack of sleep and began shivering. It was freezing in that cell with a t-shirt and jeans on. She began to shiver more violently and one of the agents raised their gun to her.

"I'm going to tell you only once to stop that," the agent said targeting his gun at her.

"I am freezing cold," she answered blowing into her hands "can't you give me a blanket or something to warm myself with?"

"Well I guess we could permit you to have a blanket," said the officer and he walked away.

He came back with a large blue blanket. He threw it into her cell and she caught it. She wrapped herself in it and stopped shivering as soon as she was warm enough. She sighed and looked at her watch. Only five hours until morning. Only five hours...She drifted off again then felt a sudden electrical zap on her foot. She suddenly opened her eyes and cried out in pain. One of the agents had zapped her with a prod. She rubbed the spot where he had electrocuted her.

"Your lucky I didn't shoot you instead," the agent said turning back around and slipping the small device into his pocket.

Jamie crawled over to a wall close to the bars and touched one of them. A sudden electric shock went through her body and she pulled her hand away quickly shaking it in pain.

"These are electric bars as you may have noticed," one of the agents said looking at her "you may want to move away from them."

Jamie looked at her hand in dismay. She started to drift off asleep again then shook her head wearily. She wasn't going to last the night. She stuck her finger on the bar and pulled it away so it only gave her a small but a little painful zap.

"Ow," she said pulling her finger away "Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow."

She kept doing this to keep herself awake. She finally stopped and began feeling angry. She pursed her lips and lowered her eyes. How dare they treat her like this? Her hair began to fan out and she began to glow with a green radiance. She barred her teeth then disappeared. One of the guards by the cage looked inside only to see that she wasn't there.

"Agent 23 we have a code 13 in section 5," he said over a wakkie takkie that he grabbed from his belt "I suggest immediate backup. Roger."

"Roger, Roger." Jamie heard faintly on the other line.

Now all of the agents had turned around and were staring hopelessly into the cage. Suddenly a small agent walked amongst them that blended in by wearing the same black outfit as the rest. Jamie knew it was Jade right away. One of the agents grabbed the keys to the door and opened it. He walked inside and looked around the room. He looked at the ceiling at the walls and in the very corner Jamie sat but without seeing her. He began feeling around with his hands. He groped the dark floor and reached along the dusty walls. Jamie moved out of the way ever so silently every time he got to close. He finally gave up and walked out of the cell.

"She appears to be gone sir," he said to his superior.

"Well we must search every inch of this compound!" Ordered the agent "everyone spread out and search!"

All of the agents except for one small one went running off in different directions. Jade opened the door carefully and began talking towards the walls where Jamie wasn't.

"Jamie are you in here?" she whispered.

"Yes," Jamie replied in a sullen tone.

"Follow me and I will get you out of here," answered Jade and she walked out of the cell.

Jamie followed closely behind Jade as they walked out of the cell and down the hall. Jade took off her S.W.A.T. agent suit and walked around dressed in her normal clothes.

"Where do you think your going?" asked on of the agents stopping in front of her.

"I'm going home," she answered yawning, "I couldn't get to sleep on that bed."

"Alright but hurry along," said the agent running off again.

Jade smiled to herself walked up a flight of stairs and into a phone booth. Jamie climbed in with her. Jade felt around the telephone booth brushing Jamie's hand making sure she was there. Then Jade pressed a few buttons and the phone booth rocketed off. It was a few seconds before it stopped abruptly and Jade opened the door. Jamie followed her outside then turned visible again.

"That was totally awesome!" yelled Jade "you really do have the snake talismans power! But how did you do that if you don't know how to use your power?"

"I don't know really," she replied shrugging her shoulders "it just sort of happened."

"Whatever," said Jade shrugging her shoulders "now let's get back to the shop."

"What shop?" asked Jamie following behind Jade who had begun running.

"Uncles antique shop," replied Jade.

"Ok," said Jamie not really knowing what to say anyways.

They ran for a little while then slowed down as they neared the antique shop. Jade opened the door slowly forgetting that there was a bell that sounded with every open. The bell rang and Jade stood totally still. Nothing was heard from the inside. Jade walked inside slowly and signaled for Jamie to follow.

"Ok we are going to have to be very quiet so we don't get..." suddenly the lights turned on and Jackie was standing in the middle of the room staring at her "caught."

"Jade what are you doing up this late?" He asked walking over to her "you know better than that!"

"But Jackie!" answered Jade "I wanted to save Jamie!"

"Well you obviously failed because she is not here," he replied.

It suddenly dawned apon Jade that Jamie had turned invisible. Jamie followed slowly until they reached Jade's room and she jumped into her bed.

"Now have a good sleep so we can save people tomorrow," he said pulling her covers up "it's no use trying tonight."

"Alright," Jade said pouting "goodnight Jackie."

"Goodnight Jade," replied Jackie and he moved out of the room. Jamie closed the door carefully and turned the reading light on.

"Smooth one Jamie," Jade whispered "you really pulled the wool over his eyes!"

"Yes," she answered, "could I have a blanket please?"

"Sure," answered Jade and she tossed Jamie a blanket.

"Thanks," said Jamie and she drifted off into a deep sleep.
