Chapter four

Taylor

Find the Andalites.

Simple, yet so difficult.

Of course, I knew one of them well.

{Well enough to predict him? We'll find out,} Taylor asked.

{I've spent enough time with him that I should be able to,} I replied. {You know that as well as I do.}

{We shall see, Xanos.}

I stepped out of the trailer, ready to find the Andalite's 'scoop,' as they call it. I had looked at many of the sites the 'Andalite Bandits' had attacked, and found a common denominator.

The mall.

Close enough to The Sharing, on top of the Yeerk pool, a well-organized meeting place, it made sense to be close by. Their scoop also had to be hidden, in a grassy area, so that left the forests. I would search the forests close to the mall.

The closest one was just on the east side of the mall, beyond an abandoned construction area. The one where Visser Three had killed Beast Elfangor.

I used a cloaked bug fighter that the Visser had given me for my mission. I scanned the areas around the forest before beginning to search inside.

Anything with even the slightest DNA strand even resembling an Andalite's would be looked at closely. Nothing was found, so I moved on.

Several forests later, I found five seagulls taking off from a barn near a forest. A minute later, a red-tailed hawk flew from the forest.

Scanners showed the hawk and one of the seagulls had Andalite DNA.

I used a small tractor beam to draw the hawk in. I knew him to be the tortured Andalite. I opened a small compartment in the back to bring him into the Bug.

"We meet again, Andalite."
